What a Week

I have had a crazy week, can't go into full details here but I have been so busy! Tomorrow I have a day's holiday from work and have lots to do. But at least I don't have to get up at 6am to walk the dog. In the evening my friend is coming over who I haven't seen for ages, can't wait :-) I am going to cook us fajitas for tea.



Erin gave me this :-) thanks

Honest Scrap

Newbierunner gave me this :-) cheers
As a recipient of this award, I am to share 10 things that people don’t know about me.
This is gonna be hard as I just did a post with 6 things people don't know about me

1. My current (broken car) is blue in colour, when I get a new car I would like it to be metallic blue, this is a bit odd because my favourite colour is actually pink.

2. I really like 60s music despite the fact I wasn't even born then.

3. We have a book club come in to work, they sell books and other cool stuff for cheaper than their rrps. I have ordered a set of books: the muffin bible and the cake bible, both books for £5 bargain! They should have been there yesterday but I forgot to check. Looking through the books I loved the muffin book, it's got a great selection of sweet and savoury muffins in, I wasn't as bothered about the cake book as there were a few great looking recipes but not enough to sell it to me. They come in a set and I can't wait to get them and get baking! (yes I know this isn't very healthy you, but I will try my best to make sure I share them round and have them in moderation)

4. People always mis pronounce my surname.

5. My middle name is Elizabeth.

6. In the future I would like a house with apple trees, a vegetable patch, and space to keep hens, I would like 2 border collie dogs.

7. When I was a child and we played make believe games I always wished I was called Sabrina as I loved the TV programme Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

8. I have an important day next Tuesday.

9. I usually give blood regularly despite having a fear of needles, currently I am low on iron so am unable too, but will be back to it as soon as I can

10. I wish they still sold Lucky Charms in the UK. They do sell them but they are about £7.99 for a tiny box which is sooooooo expensive, and that is only at Selfridges which isn't around here. They are a similar price online too. I don't know why they stopped selling them over here. Admittedly they probably aren't the healthiest of cereals but my gosh so tasty, I would love some just for the nostalgia.

I want to give this award to my sister as I think she really is an honest scrap.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Gorgeous Blogger Moi?! Why yes I am :-)

Woo thanks Erin!

So the rule is 6 things about me my readers don't know, here goes

1. I am allergic to the following Mercaptobenzothiazole which is in rubber, latex, washing powders, washing up liquids, detergents, adhesives, astringents, you get the picture. I am also allergic to pineapple and lanolin.

2. When I was a child my mother always tried to get me to eat peas, my brother and sister both like them, I however never did. She made a valiant effort, I had to eat 1 pea for each year of my age at meals when we were having peas. So aged 6 I would have had to eat 6 tiny measly peas, like one mouthful. One meal I thought I was being really clever and said I was going to the toilet mid way through, I took my peas with me and flushed them. Came back feeling very pleased with myself. However being little I hadn't thought to check whether the peas had flushed and when my sister then went to the loo I was caught! To this day I have never lived it down, it's one of those stories that gets brought up around the dinner table rather a lot and we all have a good laugh. I think my mum eventually gave up trying to make me eat peas!

3. I find the human body and anything medical fascinating, I find it really interesting.

4. I have the world's runniest nose today, and have also had 4 nosebleeds so far today, I am trying to fruit and veg it up to get rid of it asap.

5. My hair colours do not match, I have always had black eyebrows, my school art teacher said that noone has black eyebrows they can only be very dark brown but mine are deffo black, when I was a child I had very blond hair, nowadays it is mousy brown with blondy bits where the sun has bleached it so I don't match!

6. My dog is called Milo because he was born in the year 2000 (Millenium)

I've just realised I need to send this on lol I just tried to post it without awarding anyone!
So the award goes to
Melissa she commented on my blog earlier in the week and she seems like such a lovely person

I'm only going to award it to the one person because I don't know many bloggers yet and I awarded 6 people last week.

I would just like to say check me out I finally worked out how to link!

In other news I am not feeling fab still, My sore throat (3months long one) is having a bad day, I finally had my blood test this morning and will get the results in a weeks time so hopefully the mystery cause of it will be solved. Watch this space. (I feel I do spend a lot of time complaining about my throat, sorry but it's just annoying!)

I have done quite a bit of walking today and will be walking to work when it's time, I walked the dog and then the rest was because my car is off the road so I had to walk to get places. This could be quite good for me I reckon.

My eating hasn't been very good ever since I had that sickness bug last week I haven't got back to healthy eating! Must try harder! I also need to try and go to bed at a more sensible time. Today it won't be very early as I have work until 11.30pm, and will be working until a similarish time tomorrow, but what I need to try and do is go to bed pretty soon after I get home not stay up watching tv that I'm not even that interested in just because I don't want to go to bed yet. I think getting more sleep and being less tired would go a long way towards helping me not to feel so run down.

Have a good week everyone x
