Welcome back to Self Employed Mum. Thanks for visiting!

Jaysus I was going to use a funeral picture and decided that would be waaaaaaay too OTT but tis with misty eyes that I tell you that myself and Ali have decided to stop the blog. We’ll still be blogging but you’ll see our ‘words of wisdom’ on our own blogs. If you hadn’t guessed we’ve both been under the kosh with our mainstream ventures and we’ve used the summer to take stock and reorganise ourselves, something I think we should all do from time to time, especially when you have fingers in several pies like we do.

All the content is moving so if you have linked to something, you’ll need to update it to the new blog(s). I shall be continuing blogging about..er blogging, marketing, life etc on my new home and this is where you’ll find all of the posts I wrote for SEM. I get asked so many questions about how I run my life and business of blogging full time splitting myself in two as a dating and relationship writer and coolhunter that I will be writing a lot more about it. I’ve got some exciting stuff coming up and will still be working with Ali on a few things so watch out! You can also follow me on Twitter:  @nataliemlue

Ali is over at her online marketing blog and of course at the seo training club. And you can also connect with her @alisonrothwell on Linked in and Facebook.

Thanks to everyone who supported us. We’ve had a blast and will continue to do so. We’re just going to talk about the same stuff in a different way.

I’m a sucker for notebooks despite having a macbook nailed to my knees. They’re great for jotting down notes and inspiration – and if they have a cool cover, more so the better.

I’m loving these vintage library notebooks from Present and Correct. They measure 4.25″ x 5.75″ and have a handprinted wrap around cover. Each notebook also has a library pocket and ticket which you can stick into your book and tuck in stuff like receipts, tickets and other papery things!

Two titles to choose from:

• Basic Robotic Engineering by Anne Droid (silver, gold & white) (my fave) or
• An Encyclopaedia of Poisons by R.C. Nick (black, grey & silver)

£6.50 from Present and Correct. Postage at cost. Worldwide shipping available.
