The Liebster Blog Award
Even though I’ve been blogging for two years this month, I’d never heard of the Liebster Blog Award before. Â It turns out it’s a casual blogger nominated award for blogs with no more than 200 readers (I’m guessing GFC followed). Â It’s a way of acknowledging and appreciating blogs you follow and is a fun way of getting more involved in the whole blogger community.
Â
What does it involve? Â Don’t worry, there’s nothing daunting or scary about it, it’s all just for fun! Â
First, compose a post on your blog in the same way as I’ve done, and start by giving 11 facts about yourself. Â Then you answer the set of 11 questions that were given to you by your nominator. Â Finally you ‘send’ the award on to 11 of your favourite blogs, again under 200 readers, by posting on their blog and letting them know. Â Don’t forget to thank and link to your nominating blog!

I was notified today that clever gal Laura from The Scrimpy Student nominated me! Â I’m really touched that Laura thought of my blog and I enjoyed reading her own facts and answers. Â So, here are some facts about me.
Â
- I have an obsession with lipbalm.
- I ran an online guinea pig website and shop for 10 years.
- I’m fanatic about Christmas.
- I love listening to music, from Katy Perry (pop) to Hayley Westenra (classical).
- I’ve been engaged from the age of 17.
- I have little toes.
- I’m a huge animal lover – from rabbits to frogs.
- I was on a tv series in 2010.
- I’m left handed.
- I’m a born again Christian.
- I write far too many lists. Â And rewrite them.
Â
And now for my questions from Laura >
Â
1-What’s your favourite TV series and which character do you think you’re most like?
I can’t really think of any character I’m like, but I do love watching Downton Abbey.
2-If you had to buy clothes from one shop forever more, what would it be?
Probably New Look. Â They’re not as cheap as Primark but better quality and I do love their stuff, particularly their sweaters, footwear and bags.
3-What’s the weirdest food you have ever eaten?
Nothing adventurous I’m afraid, maybe a scallop?! Â lol
4-Sex or chocolate?
It depends what mood I’m in! Â I’m not a big chocoholic though đ
5-What is your favourite item of clothing?
Right now, my cream chunky jumper with knotty bobbles on that I got for Christmas. Â It feels the best.
6-Any plans for a holiday this year?
Fat chance! Â It’s all work in this house. Â But I do love spur of the moment weekends away.
7-What is your favourite season?
Spring, because it starts warming up and everything feels alive, optimistic and exciting.
8-How’s life going?
The super looper. Â I’m happy to say lots to look forward to this year.
9-What is your biggest achievement so far?
Overcoming an assault when I just left school. Â It took years to get to where I am now; a freedom and peace of mind I never thought I’d feel again.
10-If you could have a dinner party with 5 people of your choice (dead, alive or fictional) who would you choose?
Katy Perry, Michael Buble, Barry Weiss, Peter Kay and Jesus.
11-If you could have a magical power for one day only, what would it be?
Be able to control peoples minds so they go along with what I want!
Â
Thanks Laura for those questions!
