Versatile Blogger Love

A big hug and thank you to Twistygirl who awarded me this:

I have received this award before. And feel privileged to have received it again, a year down the line.

5 random facts about me…
1. My shoe size has changed recently. I’m not quite sure whether I’m just getting old or whether it’s because it’s winter and my feet have shrunk…
2. I am a terribly cheap date… One sip of wine and I’m completely toasted!
3. I have a competitive personality which I think stems from being the youngest of four kids.
4. I am fanatic about spelling and grammar. Correct spelling and grammar is so ingrained in me that I can’t read a menu without picking up mistakes.
5. My sweet tooth rules me. I will eat condensed milk out of the can to satisfy Miss Tooth!

And now to nominate five other deserving bloggers…
- Nicki
- Louisa
- Eliza & Yoga Therapy
- The Jackson Files
- Andrea

Blogger Love

Wow! I’m so excited to receive more blogger love! A big hug and thanks to Gina and Cazpi who awarded me this:

Now for the rules… I need to tell you 7 things about myself you may not know, and then pass the award on to 10 blogs I have recently discovered and found to be deserving.

So, 7 things about me:
1. I love tea! Like really LOVE tea! But none of the herbal ones, only five roses!
2. I secretly love being sick because it means I get a lot of TLC and looking after…
3. But I also feel more guilty when I’m sick because I’m not used to not doing things for myself and getting looked after.
4. I used to drink my tea with no sugar, but recently I’ve started having one teaspoon per cup.
5. I love milk! And I find it’s the best thing to drink when I’m really thirsty.
6. I love baking but since I moved in with Gary I’ve not baked once since I haven’t bought any of the baking goodies needed (ingredients, baking trays, cake tins, etc) because there have been more important things to spend the money on…
7. I am in desperate need of a trip to the hairdresser but I just haven’t had the chance to pick up the phone and book an appointment, let alone actually make it to the place!

And now to nominate some other deserving blogs, I know it’s not 10 but hey…
The Jackson Files, Cath, Alet, Heather, Gillian, and Madi.

Beautiful Blogger Award

Yipeeeee! This is so exciting! My very first blogger award! I’d like to thank my mom and my dad and my fiancé and my doglets and…and…and… Actually I’d like to thank MamaMeeA who awarded this to me!

The rules say I have to share 7 random facts about me before nominating 7 bloggers I consider to be beautiful.

1. My absolute favourite song of all time is “Ice ice baby” by Vanilla Ice. I even know all the words!
2. My hair is naturally curly but I straighten it with my GHD to within an inch of it’s life every day. Oh the joy and time I’d save if I’d been born with straight hair!
3. I have such a sweet tooth that I recently ate an entire carrot cake on my own! Ok, so it took a week to eat it but only because I only had slices in the evenings after work. (I did think about taking it to work to share it, but in this case, sharing isn’t caring!)
4. I watched City of Angels for the first time last weekend. Apparently I was supposed to ball my eyes out, but I think all the fore-warning from my Twitter friends dried my tear ducts.
5. I own two gorgeous pairs of pink knee-high socks. One pair is made up of puzzle pieces in baby pink and bright pink.
6. I am addicted to my TV series. So much so, that I don’t know what I’d do without my PVR. Sad, but true…
7. I wear contacts because my eyesight is so bad. I’m actually so blind that when I don’t wear my contacts or glasses, I can barely see a fly on my nose. Ok, so maybe it’s not that bad, but I’m still quite blind!

And now to the nominations…
Alice, Ann, Cazpi, TwistyGirl, BananaRamaGirl, Hayley, and CamillaCams.
