Awards and Memes
So my front page was getting a bit full so I thought I'd try and work out this page thingybobwatsit and have a go.
Listed below are the prizes that I've been awarded and the meme that I made up (I bet you didn't know that did you!). Along with the pretty pictures there will be a link to the prize blog post and I'll even give you a short snippet but if you want to read the rest you'll have to visit that page. OK!
The Invention Meme
1 month after I started blogging I made up a meme (clever little old me!). Unfortunately it didn't go like hellfire like some of them do (boo hoo) but I enjoyed it.
The Invention Meme
"Bel came home from school yesterday all exicted because she had an afternoon of inventing things ( aka Wallace and Grommit style as it is their 20th birthday this year!) Her star invention was a hoover that sucks duvet up, deposits it on the bed in a pile as a reminder for her to make her bed! (Note - Bel makes her bed occasionally!)"....
Awards
A couple of weeks after that I got my first award and then they seem to come in dribs and drabs. I love pretty pics and awards me so if you want to donate one then please do:
I love your blog
My first award was given to me by Very Bored Housewife who has since had a name change to Very Bored in Catalunya (due to the consequences of having dodgy name for her blog!).
"I am still reeling in shock about this!! So the rules of this award are that I have to tell you 7 things about myself and recommend 7 other blogs.
It has been so busy here in work pre student arrival ( roll on next Thursday!) that I'm trying really hard to think of 7 things to tell you about and to nominate 7 other people. I have decided to post 7 of my favourite things as my brain is struggling to find anything else to write about! (Actually I think my brain is struggling full stop at the moment!)"...... (if you follow the link up there, higher, lower, no there, you'll see my 7 favourites!)
Zombie Chicken
This was passed on to me by Make do Mum.
I can't believe that I've been given an award where I am deemed to be graceful but hey who I am to know. (If you asked Neb or my Dad if they thought I was graceful they'd laugh at you - my dad still laughs when anyone calls me a lady!!)"....
"Today I read that Hot Cross Mum has deemed me worthy enough to receive the 'Honest Scrap' award. Like her I too read it as Honest Crap because I think that's what I'm making you poor readers read!!".....
The Haute Mess Award
"There will be sunshine after the rain ( or so the song goes - here) and if it doesn't then I've always got the lovely new award to look at which was given to me by It's a Mummy's Life."......
Beautiful Blogger & One lovely blog award
What can I say, I got two at the same time - oh such lovely people you all are
"Anyway I've been awarded two awards from Beth @It's My Good Life.And then again by Foodie Mummy
Now I thought I'd been given one of them before but after checking back it seems like I haven't so here they both are.".....
And then finally the last one (for now - I can always do with more!!)
Kreativ Blogger
"Me plus three and Mr C! has given me the Kreativ blogger award and having read her 7 things that we didn't know about her I'd like to let you know 7 things you didn't know about me and I seem to have one in common with her. As part of the award, I have to share seven interesting snippets of information about myself and then pass the Award on!".....

Zombie Chicken
This was passed on to me by Make do Mum.
"Make do mum who is in her own words begging, making and not stealing her way through motherhood has been so nice in passing this on to me.
So what do you ask is the Zombie Chicken Award - well The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken – excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all.
The Haute Mess Award
"I'd like to thank Gigi for declaring her undying love for me (I wonder if your husband knows) and whilst doing so bestowing on me this lovely award".....
