Sisters are doing it for themselves!

Oooh another badge!  This time it’s a Sisterhood of World Bloggers Award. 

So with a big smile on my face and a rather rabbit in the headlights look (thinking about what I can say about myself), here’s my acceptance speech, the rules and the bit’s about myself that I am not looking forward to… 

Thank you to Pauline Bennett from Listing Building for Newbies for nominating me. 

Pauline blogs about list building (your email list not to-do list, although I think I have mine in reverse at the moment!) and internet marketing whilst sunning herself on a Greek Island.  Yes, I am jealous…

Pop over to Paulines blog for some sunshine and great tips.

Rules of the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award

There are a few rules for the award but they are pretty simple (simple?  Writing about myself is not simple…)

1. All recipients need to thank the giver
2. Post 7 things about yourself
3. Pass the award on to 7 other bloggers of their choice and let them know that they have been nominated 
4. Include the logo of the award in a post or on your blog

7 Things you may or may not know about me…

• I’m a veggie and have been since I was a teenager.  I don’t eat meat or fish, I do eat dairy – so not vegan
• While I don’t watch much TV, life stops for new episodes of Criminal Minds
• In my late teens I went through a stage of designing and making my own clothes – they were pretty fab, I worked wonders with crushed velvet and lace.
• I give birth to my daughter by emergency caesarian section after almost 36 hours of labour.  When I came around, I was told she was a boy.  We named her Liam Stephen – for the first 17 hours of her life.  People asked how I didn’t notice she wasn’t a boy… Well I wasn’t allowed to change her as I was bed bound for a few days, and I didn’t think to undress her!
• To relax, I like nothing better than a long hot bath – by long I mean several hours with a good book
• The daftest thing I have done is dye my hair blonde.  I realised it was daft, went down to the shops and bought a red dye – promptly turning my hair to a muddy orange colour. I was stuck with it for a week until I could get an appointment with a hairdresser to do something about it
• I’m really not comfortable talking about myself!  I’m more a head down and get on with it kind of person 🙂
