Mums 101

Emily over at Never Bored of Bubbles has had a fab idea for a blog post, and she is asking other mummy bloggers for their answers too (which is great, because it means I don’t have to shamelessly steal her idea, I get to legitimately post my answers!). If you could go on a parenting version of …

A Week in Tweets

Slummy Single Mummy is running “A Week in Tweets” meme on her blog – every Thursday she posts a summary/representation of each day of the past week in less than 140 characters – this can be either an actual tweet from that day, or just a short snippet of text. I thought this sounded like …

The ABC Award

I was tagged to do this particular meme by @bublet2011 (here is her post!) and I have been racking my brain to come up with all the words! The challenge for this game is that you have to describe yourself with one word for each letter of the alphabet… so difficult! Here goes… Apple fangirl …

11 Questions Meme

I was tagged in the 11 Questions Meme by Mummylish who came up with a rather fab set of questions for her fellow bloggers to answer!

The idea of the 11 Questions Meme is that you are given a set of 11 questions to answer by a fellow blogger, and then once you have answered them you have to think up 11 questions of your own to ask 11 other bloggers. Fun stuff! Here are my answers…

1. Do you collect anything? If so, what?

Other than amassing a rather large collection of books and mystery jigsaws, the only things I collect are fridge magnets and foreign coins. I don’t go out of my way to collect either of these things though – both collections are added to when we go places.

When James and I got together, we both had a little pot of foreign coins – change left over from holidays and field trips, as well as a few each that were given to us as children by various people. These separate collections were mixed together and, since our honeymoon, have been kept in a little ceramic bowl that I painted while we were in Mexico.

Our fridge magnet collection was started when we got together – we started picking up magnets as cheap souvenirs when we visited places & I love that I can now look at our fridge and there are mementos of fantastic holidays, our wedding, honeymoon & even fun day trips. The latest addition was put on the fridge this morning – a blue paw print magnet to celebrate Georgie’s first Crufts!

Some Music on a Monday Morning

The lovely @bublet2011 tagged me in a musical meme yesterday, so here goes… The basic idea is that you put your mp3 player into shuffle mode and then list the first five songs that pop up. No cheating, no excuses, and no skipping songs to try and avoid any embarrassment! Here are my five songs: Kate …

A to Z of Me

I noticed this on mrsslummymummy’s blog & thought I’d have a go myself! I love memes like this, they get you writing about random stuff and I find reading other people’s satisfies my nosey streak beautifully!

ANORAK…Do you have a sad side? I’m a bit addicted to jigsaws, which is a bit of a weird hobby these days. My brother-in-law called me jigsaw yoda once, because I’m a bit freaky with them when I have the picture to hand (pick up a piece, look at piece, look at picture, place piece pretty much exactly where it goes). I have to play mystery jigsaws with no picture provided if I want a decent challenge!

BODY…What physical attribute would you most like to change? Um, probably my weight, although it doesn’t bother me too much. I’m losing weight gradually at the moment which is good for health reasons, if nothing else! I used to be quite ill with headaches & migraines which meant I spent a lot of time in bed exhausted and/or ill.

Mmmm!

CELEBRITY…Which one would you most like to date and why? I have a bit of a thing for James McAvoy. Yum.
