The Colourful Me

I have been tagged by the lovely Carolin at Mummy Alarm in the Colourful Me meme. 

I have to describe what each colour below means to me and then tag three other bloggers. I thought I would put my twist on it and share with you what songs these colours make me think of!

White




Brown





Purple





Orange





Yellow





I now have to pass it on to 3 bloggers. You don't have to do it with the music just write about what the colours mean to you. 


I tag Carly at Mummyshoes, Snafflesmummy and Kelly at A Place of My Own

Honest Scrap

The lovely author of TheMadHouse blog has awarded me the Honest Scrap award and for that I say thank you very much.

Now I'm normally really bad at doing these I often leave them for so long that I have loads to do, so I'm trying to them straight away now!

Ok the rules for this meme is

1 Thank the person that sent it (Tick)
2 List 10 things you don't know about me
3 Pass on to 10 bloggers you admire

Here are 10 things you don't know about though after my posts this week there can't be much left to tell you!

1. I'm scared of tunnels! My dad and OH have been trying to get me on the Eurostar for years and I refuse to do so, the thought of being in that tunnel feels me with so much dread it makes me feel sick

2. I hate garlic

3.  I love New York, whenever I visit I feel at peace and would love to live their one day.

4. I have two best friends who are the best, best friends in the world.

BF1 I meet at college, we have been through a lot together including my mother leaving, her father dying, marriage, divorce and our daughters were born 7 weeks apart. We have done a lot of dancing, a lot of singing and a lot of talking in the 12 years I have known her.

BF2 I meet when she came to work for me in a bar, again we've through a lot marriage, birth, divorce, too much alcohol. I took her to her first concert, musical and for her first tattoo. I have convinced on numerous occasions to drive me across country and she has never complained. One year she drove me to from Peterborough Essex the day before Christmas eve because she was scared I would start a fight on the underground with all my luggage.

5. I'm alergic to cats

6. I have flat feet

7. I love musicals, movies or in the theatre. It doesn't matter I will watch them.

8. I once turned down a chance to work in the US

9. In the winter I can weeks without saving my legs

10. I had such a horrible pregnancy and a crappy birth that it has put me off having any more children and trust me I won't change my mind.

Now I am supposed to pass this onto 10 other bloggers, but as I said earlier I'm crap at memes so I'm not! Sorry!

The Mega Meme Part 1

OK so I'm a bad, bad blogger!! I've been tagged but lots of lovely people I keep forgetting to do the meme's. So I'm now going to do them all....in two parts

I shall do part one today and part two sometime next week.

Here are the meme's I have to do:

The Blame Tara Meme from Tara at Sticky Fingers
The 7 traits meme from Hot Cross Mum and Really Rachel
A Photo tag from Kellyfairy at A Place Of My Own
You're blog is lovely from Ruth at Look Left at the Pleiades
One Word Answers meme from Insomniac Mummy
10 Favourite Film Characters from Linda at You've got your hands full

So just a few as you can see!! I've decided that I'm not going to pass the memes on but I will pass on the award!

Here are the first three meme's!!

Blame Tara

Ok for the Blame Tara Meme I have to answer 10 questions, so here they are with my answers

1. Who is the hottest movie star? Christian Slater, I have a thing about his voice. I went to see him in One Flew Over The Cookoos Nest and found my self chanting "drop the towel, drop the towel" when he was wearing a itty bitty towel around his waist then remembered I'd gone to the play with my dad!

2. Apart from your house and your car, what's the most expensive item you've ever bought? A TV for my Dad

3. What's your most treasured memory? Holding BG for the first time

4. What was the best gift you ever received as a child? My first bike

5. What's the biggest mistake you've made? Spending 5 years with my ex

6. 4 words to describe yourself. Friendly, organised, impatient, tired.

7. What was your highlight or lowlight of 2008? Highlight - The birth of my baby Lowlight - The birth of my baby, she was born after 3 days of failing to be induced by c-section.

8. Favourite film? Some Like It Hot

9. Tell me one thing I don't know about you. I hate mayonnaise

10. If you were a comic book/strip or cartoon character, who would you be? Super Girl

I hope the answer weren't too boring for you!

7 Traits

Yes you've guessed it right for this meme I have to list 7 traits I have.

Now to be honest I hate ones like this, I find it hard to list things about my self, but never mind here I go...

1 Loyal

2 Bossy

3 Impatient

4 Friendly

5 Independent

6 Loving

7 Ambitious

Photo tag

For this I had to go to my 6 photo folder and find the 6th photo and then explain about the picture....

This is actually one of my favourite photo's of BG and if there wasn't sick in the corner of her mouth it would be perfect! She was about 2 months old when this was taken and its just a random picture I took one afternoon when we were home (I have lots of them!)

OK that's the first 3 done, now as I was putting this together I was given two more awards!!

Lorraine at Ramblings Of A Mum On The Run gave me the Zombie Chicken award (I will explain next time!!) and Emily at Maternal Tales From The South Coast gave me the Over The Top award! Thank you ladies I will pass them on in the next instalment

Feel free to answers the questions above your self, if you do then let me know

Part 2 next Sunday
