Hopefully this will pass soon and I will be back to my super funny and interesting self *cough* *cough*

Some Blogger Love!

The week started so well last week then I got ill and was feeling very sorry for myself! However I have decided not to mope and blog about being ill its sooo boring!! I thought this post could pass on some blogger love!

First of all as you can see I been awarded a "Fucking Fabulous" blog award!! This really cheered up, its such a great award (and the swearing makes be feel like a rebel!!). So as with all blog awards there are conditions that go with them, there are three things I must do:

1. Name the fabulous person who gave it to me

2. List my 5 current obsessions

3. Pass on to 5 other blogs

So here I go

The wonderful Dancinfairy at A Place Of My Own gave me this award, please check her blog out its v good and she currently awaiting the birth of her first baby

My 5 current obsessions

1. The Internet - all forms - blogging, twitter, facebook, shopping etc etc

2. The amount of milk BG is drinking, she has cut down as its driving me a bit insane she's not having the recommended amount!

3. Sewing, I have bought a sewing machine and I'm trying to teach myself to sew!

4. Finding a job!! At the end of the month I will be unemployed, the first time in 13yrs!! Very very scary

5. My baby girl

OK here are the blogs I'm passing this award onto

Soph4Soph

Juicy Tots

Ramblings Of A Mum On The Run

Ok giveaway time the lovely Amy at And One More Means Four and Peggy at Perfectly Happy Mum are both running a giveaway to win a trip to Alton Towers with accommodation for a family of four! So for double the chance to win go to both blogs!!!
