BML16

As I went to bed Friday night, I was feeling nervous as hell, my first ever blog event BML16!
 
Also, leaving the girls all day with Mr B.
I know they will be alright,
with the occasional photo, update to convince me that the girls were not stuck to the ceiling.
 
or tied Mr B to a chair and become hooligans.
 
when I woke up and started to get ready instant panic set in,
 
but I knew that was either adrenaline or need feeling like I wouldn’t fit in.
 
Starting my journey by car, I drove first time up to London.  
My TomTom and I have fallen out kept telling me to go the wrong way,
and losing GPS signal.
 
Google map to the rescue.
 
One thing that I have learnt. don’t park on the street road,
even if it is to check how far away the venue is and if there is parking available.
on returning 4 minutes from leaving Red,
ends up with a note on the screen and me with a £65 fine for 4 sodding minutes.
I tried to tell the lady I hadn’t even been long.
That started the day off to a fantastic start!
 
Putting my upset aside, still feeling nervous alone and jelly legs I found the brewery.
And parked in a car park not too far away.
It was lovely to see beaming faces! All dolled up ladies it was like going to the Ascot,
well, I’d imagine that’s how it was like.

Arriving 

When I arrived in received my lanyard with my name and my blogger status!
The speeches had started. as I cued up for my first coffee of the day,
I found a seat with two lovely ladies,
and we were soon joined by three more women.
On each table, there was pads, pens and water for each person as well as a cute bowl with mints in.
And an intriguing pink parcel.
For which I never win anything from-
usually but today I won 3 of the four rounds, but I gave the other ladies the sweets.
I found the girl that sat with me was friendly, and we spoke a lot.
It was lovely to meet you, Sara! Her Blog

I was shy at first Sara reminded me that we are here to network

And I even met ms carol smillie! I can say I purchased her knickers.  
She has a brand called the Diary Doll. This; is for ladies,
with a little less – ahem- support due to having children and generally,
being lazy in pelvic floor exercises.
I’m Looking forward to trying these out and writing about them.
And I just had to get a selfie and an autograph.
I managed to get to several talks which were interesting,
but I wished it lasted longer.
Judith Lewis talked about understanding SEO.
I then went on to the youtube:
collaborate & grow your audience which was fun and informative by Kate Rushworth.
The Clangers kindness Lunch supplied lunch.
lovely lamb with mash was tasty.
In the MAM room, Nigel Camp talked about affordable equipment.
I am a tech geek and love to buy new things.

My first event

Each table had different topics. sitting at the Activist mums table!
I envisaged talking about eco-parenting,
whipping off bras in support of breastfeeding.
The talk was something that struck a chord with me.
about baby blues, PND and mental illness.
The stigma that makes women too scared to talk out about their inner feelings,
for fear of not coping and having their baby taken from them.

There was a cute area set up for #bigtentlittlefestival for family-friendly camping sites.
WOOHOO provided some yummy more-ish crepes. 
definitely, a great buy for a quick breakfast to impress the kiddos!

Thank you Britmums for the day, one thing I can say two days may have been better.
