Yesterday the kids were fighting and I literally said this out loud, “Riley, please don’t hit your sister with a candlestick.”

And in my head I added, This isn’t a game of Cluedo, buddy.

I’m tired, folks. Tired and stressed. For a week now there’s been some behind-the-scenes issues going on here at miscmum (server wise) and I hope – fingers crossed – it’s all sorted now.

You might notice the ‘Related Posts’ links I usually have at the bottom of the post have been removed. This is because they were starting to behave naughtily. I hope to put them back later – or a similar kind of plugin – because they can be a great lure into the blog of new traffic/readers.

There you go – I’m asked pretty often “what can I do to improve my bounce rate?” and I finally have an answer: get a ‘related posts’ or a ‘other readers also liked…’ plugin.

So long as they work like they’re supposed to 😉
