Versatile Blogger Award


The very lovely Mrs Stranded over at Stranded in Cleveland has awarded me this decoration! Thank you!  Please go and take a look at her lovely blog for yummy looking recipes and beautiful crafty finds!

This award comes with a provision where I have to share seven things about myself.  I’ve already shared seven previously here so I’ll see if I can come up with seven more…


One
I ran my fourth Race for Life earlier this month.  Without sounding so gushy, it’s amazing to see so many women banding together and running for a single cause.  


Two
As stated in my last seven things, I was just about to take up pole dancing lessons.  Five and bit months later I’m still going and loving every minute of it!  The Mighty Grip sounds a bit grubby but it stops me falling on my face when doing the upside downy moves! 


Three
I carry a note book around with me everywhere.  It’s a mess of scribbles recipes, cake ideas, sketches, meal plans and lists. 


Four
If I could pick one book to read over and over again it would be The Beach by Alex Garland.  This is my tatty, over thumbed, cracked spine copy. 


Five
I’m getting married in just under ten months.  I have The FearTM when it comes to planning things!  This is my wedding planning book.  I also have a spreadsheet.  I get really excited about updating my spreadsheet. 

Six
I’m one of those people that notice the mistakes in films/tv shows/adverts.  Jim just rolls his eyes when I say things like “she was wearing nail varnish in the last shot…”

Seven
The last song I downloaded was a cover of ‘Tainted Love’ by Hannah Peel.  It’s off that mouthwash advert with the woman who has nail varnish on one moment and then in the next shot doesn’t… *cough cough*

I would like to pass this award on to some fellow lovely bloggers, as follows:

Stylish Blogger Award



A huge, huge thank you to freerange girl over at This Yorkshire Life for awarding it to me!

I’d like to pass this on to some of my favourite bloggers! (Sorry, if you have already received this)





This award comes with a condition, I have to tell you seven things about me:-

1, I have hyperextension in my elbows.  This freaks people out when I pick things up and my elbow goes all crazy and bends in a stupid direction.  I don’t pick up heavy things in front of people I don’t know

2, I have two older sisters and an older brother.  I love having a big family. 

3, I work in a huge Georgian town house conversion.  It’s drafty, creaky and the windows shake when the wind blows.  It’s the most amazing building mainly because it’s a rabbit warren of rooms and corridors.  I have my own office and my desk looks like Hello Kitty threw up all over it.  Stops people stealing my pens.  Especially when they have a giant cartoon Japanese cat staring back at them…

4, I worked for a term at my local college assisting students with varying forms of autism. It was an amazing experience and I met some of the greatest young adults. 
  
5, I’m starting pole dancing lessons tomorrow.  I’m a little nervous!

6, I have a pea phobia.  Yes, the vegetable.  An example of how embarrassing this is:- In Sainsburys on Sunday, where I had just finished putting the last of our shopping on the belt.  I reached over and put down the dividery things and the bloke behind me, reached into his basket, pulled out a bag of frozen peas the size of a newborn baby and thumped them down.  I had to fight my way to behind Jim whilst getting tangled in the trolley.  Smooth…

7, Spring is my favourite month and I’m already overly excited.  Followed by Autumn.  I love the transition seasons.  And daffodils.  Mainly daffodils.
