Awards and a game of TAG !

 Interior Designers Julie and Danni have a lovely blog
called t & g interiors where they post beautiful photos of interiors.
 This week they gave me the 'Blog on Fire' Award, but having just received one,
 I redirected them to my recent post here.
Then my dear friend Olga @ stardust decor and style passed on the
Versatile Blogger Award to me.

For this award, I need to tell you seven random facts about myself
 and pass it on to 10 other bloggers.

So seven very random facts !

a) I only learnt to copy and paste in October, when I started this blog.
b) Every single time I type I forget which button to press to get the top
or bottom row "34£%6&8)-=^"!!!
c) I write a post and then erase about half of it - I ramble too much !
d) I have no clue what the 'ctrl' button does
e) Every time I have gone for ) I get 0 - seriously I do - lol
f0 Just did it again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
g) I have never pressed anything on the top row of the keyboard.

Ten bloggers will be named at the bottom of this post !
 I also got tagged in a game of TAG by KL from eternalicons
and now 'I am IT' and so here are the rules.
  1. You must post the rules.
  2. Post eleven fun facts about yourself on the blog post.
  3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post, and then create eleven new questions to ask the people you've tagged.
  4. Tag eleven people and link them on your post
  5. Let them know you've tagged them!

So, as I have listed 7 facts already, here are 4 more.
h)  I love my dog to pieces
i)  I've had cats before, but he is my first dog.
j) I'd quite like to work in an animal sanctuary.
l) Did I mention that I love him to pieces !!!!!!!!!!!!!






He's scruffy because he's petrified of the dog parlour !

Now I have to answer 11 questions
  1. What is the number one thing on your 'bucket list'?  Learning a different language.
  2. What would you choose as your last meal?  Roast chicken with all the trimmings.
  3. What is your favourite drink (either Alcoholic or non)?A double shot latte or Earl Grey Tea.
  4. What is the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?  Chickens feet ! Although I didn't really eat them, I just pretended to, because I'd already refused 3 other things.
  5. What's you favourite holiday destination?  The Greek Islands
  6. What are you most proud of? Passing my test at 42 after failing at 21 and never driving in between.
  7.   Where is your favourite place to shop?  Absolutely anywhere - I love shopping, even window shopping.
  8. Do you collect anything? China and glassware.
  9.   Are you an early bird or a night owl?  Neither, I like mornings, but not too early.
  10. Have you ever been told you look like someone famous? Who?  My dear Aunt said I looked like Isabella Rosselini, but you can stop laughing now, because I know I don't !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. What is your favorite quality about yourself? Being polite.
So, now 11 questions for my taggees !!!

10. Is there a capital city you've always wanted to visit ?
11. What colour are you always drawn to, in a clothes shop ?

And, these are the nominations for The Versatile Blogger Award,

people to receive the award and play a game of TAG.

  1. So I stopped by to congratulate you on your award. New driver and computer-ista all in a year? And you look a little bit in your picture like Angelina Jolie or maybe it's Octomom the Angelina Jolie wannabe? I'll have to google Ms. Rosselini to see. Either way in the looks department it's a compliment (just hope you don't act like either of them).

    So are you giving a tutorial how I'm suppose to do this thing? First I'm just gonna read Otter's post.
