   I am signing myself up for the 30day challenge, decided lunchtime today that I can't spend all my time playing in the forums I need to get publishing, so here I am back in the forums..lol
   
   Internet has been up and down (mostly down) all day so only just back on line at nearly 10pm, going to do my first hub of 30..
   
   Wish me luck and kick my ass if you don't see hubs on a regular basis..

         If those cheerleaders were here with me now I would get lots of inspiration, however I would not write any hubs... thanks blonde..

      With what I know about food I could barely fill the summary text, as to food here.... wow... For a country considered by most to be anti west, every corner has a McDonalds or a KFC!!

   Have been having problems with "suggested link" function (see my thread in Help), the suggested links get moved 2 characters to the right for some reason! Plus somehow a adsense add was activated!!

   I published a hub about 3 hours or so ago and listed it on the hubchalleng hubs thread about 2 hours after, by that time it had already been indexed by google and I had google views!! Feeling happy with what I am doing... just going to work on the next so that I make it to six before sleeping tonight..

   Finished my sixth hub last night.... Weekend here now so have a chance to do some more hubs, trouble is my wife has other plans for me!!!!!! She wants me to take her shopping for food, get my hair cut, swimming at the beach,....... I guess this is going to be a hard task keeping her happy and completing this challenge,
   
   Anyway; go to my profile and have a look at my latest hubs..

    Number seven done... being nagged about grocery shopping, will have to go soon... will post the link in the hubchallenge thread...
    
    Don't want to do a hub on shopping $10Mark.. thanks for suggestion, but if you walk around with a pen and paper in your hands you will probably be arrested as the police will think you are giving your phone number to women!!!!! The thought police are alive and well in Saudi Arabia.. lol

       Impressive output!  I have looked at two of them, and although it's not my subject - they are very well laid out, nicely written and very informative.  (Personally I like your hubs on Trumpton et al - because they are more my thing!)
