Position Vacant! Bold and Beautiful Blogger Needed for Mondays!
Would you like to join our great team of Bloggers and have your OWN SPOT blogging for the WORLD FAMOUS Bold and Beautiful? Opportunities like this don’t turn up every day! 🙂
Sadly Robster the Blogster’s leisure time is becoming just too great for him and he has to give it up! 😉 ……(actually he has a job!)
All you have to do is: turn up for the swim every Monday (no matter what!), take photos whilst trying to swim, then rush home/work or Bluewater and write the blog for a couple of hours – it’s easy! The benefits are huge in return: Instant Fame, you get to express yourself, show everyone who you are, have fun taking the mickey out of Shaun and Storchy, a fan base/following and much much more!
All of those who currently blog will agree, I am sure, that yes it is a bit of a commitment BUT once you get the hang of it, it is easy and rewarding!
Full training offered of course and camera provided!
Let me / Ian know – or Robbie, who’s email is robert.byrne00@gmail.com

Thanks Lips. By 6pm I was convinced that no one had read the blog … Thankfully Lesley confirmed that it wasn’t necessarily that I was being snubbed – just a technical difficulty.

I see you still have Michael’s dodgy thermometer. I know where doctors take the temperature. Tell he needs to try a new method and actually put the thermometer in the water.
