Well it looks like Pippa from Ouchflower is suffering from the heat!...she has awarded me a Leibster award!!
"The Liebster Award is for bloggers with under 300 followers and the rules of the award is that the nominee must link back to whoever awarded them, write 11 random facts about themselves, answer the 11 questions from the award giver, and then nominate another 11 bloggers and make up 11 questions for them to answer. It's a great way for new and undiscovered bloggers to meet new people, get more followers and find some blogs that they want to follow."
im pretty chuffed cause well....you know its an award....and I didn't have to do anything to get it...just be little ol me.
thanks Pippa
Id like to thank god(ess) to start with (that's how your supposed to start right?)
all the usual suspects and my 6th class teacher Mrs Pascoe, for showing me compassion, tenacity and how to bet on the GG`s
ok here goes...11 random facts about me...
1| Milo and cheap wine give me hives....once had almost a week off school after stealing and consuming a tin of milo with a spoon whilst hiding in a cupboard ( jury is out but may have been the mothballs that actually gave me the hives!), the discovery re cheap wine came years later.
2| ceiling fans make me nervous...one day I will share why...but not today.
3| at an INXS concert I kissed a tennis ball then thru it at the band....? it was all I had in my Culture Club bumbag.
4| I was once a rather talented tennis player.
5| I loved every single second of High School - its a rare thing and I know it.
6| Im an RN but am content working behind the scenes these days (ie admin) but my RN ticket allowed me to travel the world for about 4 yrs.
7| Im a Taurean (and I like moonlit walks on the beach)
8| I take batteries out of my kids toys and tell them they are broken - don't judge!
9| Indian food is my favourite....and im addicted to coriander.
10| Al is my nickname - shocking I know.
11| My Pop is 95 and my Nanna is 94 - I want to grow up to be just like them.

Thank God for Mrs. Pascoe. Without her, I fear we wouldn't have this blog, and I've become quite addicted to it! Great answers...and congrats on the award. It is well deserved.
ReplyDeletefact #8 = hilarious! I'll be keeping this in mind for the future.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag, lady. I'm off to write my own (although probably not as humorous as yours)
Sar xx
Thanks for the shout out Al, you are such a cracker! I swear you get funnier the more you blog. I did take one look at that long list of questions and just about keeled over with the horrifying thought of all that thinking and typing so I won't take up the challenge but am so chuffed you wanted to include me. mel x
ReplyDeleteI also say Thank God for Mrs Pascoe! I love reading your blog, I get withdrawal symptoms if you miss more than a couple of days .. holy cats, does that mean I could be a stalker?!
ReplyDeleteYou've just won the Thrift Oscar for the best sniffer outer of thrifted treasures .. that plate is (sigh) just, just, just ... oh so beautiful!
OK I'd better get cracking, looks like the weekend will be spent "thunking up them 11 questions"! One might involve Milo. Thanks for the nomination Ally. xx
YAY, thanks for the award....I never win anything :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear the story about the ceiling fans :0)
xx
I'm loving the illness jokes, just the sort of thing we do here....got to laugh or we would cry, and I prefer laughter! :) x
ReplyDeleteGreat answers! I'm looking nervously at my ceiling fan! x
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks Allison for including me! That's lovely of you. Will have to get onto this, but mine might be a rushed, short version if that's ok? Am loving reading yours, we have lots in common - coriander love, INXS concerts and tennis!! Start warming up by the way, we're about to start building our no-frills bush court. I especially love your no.7, sometimes there's no other option but to laugh. Hope your mum's ok, happy weekend xx
ReplyDeleteThat plate is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHilarious...come here, give me a hug! xx
ReplyDeleteMe oh my, lovely lady thank you, thank you so much, I just had no idea, it has been a busy few days!! I'm into this and chuffed to the max I must say, though I have no idea of who to nominate - it's true I am that green with the whole blogging thing.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile culture club bumbag = awesome, loving the Arni and Austin quotes and can totally see how, when dealing illness and all it brings, that having a good laugh with the ones you love is so important xo. Indian food loving makes my heart melt, you go girly!.
xx Tina
Howdy Al, I've been away from blog land for a while due to still no working pc and what do I find but your very funny post. Reading, reading, reading, then Ahhhhh! You've very sweetly put me on your list. Thanks for thinking of little ol me, now best I get my thinking cap on, this could take a while.
ReplyDeleteYou've got to get the latest Real Living Mag Allison......Pippa's in it. p. 46 March 2013 issue.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!
Tania xx
OMG you made me spit my cheap wine out laughing! (at least the hives will be better....yes I get them too!) 'ceiling fans make me nervous...one day I will share why...but not today.'....WHAT!!!! SO FUNNY!
ReplyDeleteI FORGIVE THE BATTERY THING....I tell my kids that the ice-cream van plays music to let you know it's run out of ice cream....is that worse?
inxs....Oh my heart...saw them 2 times live...i was always a mess over Michael!
What was the last thing you made and when?......so very very funny!!!!! ahhhhh my blog world would be nothing now without a certain Allison in it!
You have the same humor when it comes to illness. A while back when Mum was in ICU, my sister told her to shove over so she could sit down and to stop hogging the bed. The nurse was horrifies and whispered "your Mum is in a coma". I answered is that why she is not nagging me, thank fuck for comas. The nurse walked off horrified.
