Happy 101

I've been given the Happy Blog Award by One Who Understands, thanks!

The rules: List 10 things that make your day & then give this award to 10 bloggers.

1. Waking up to a cup of tea every morning,


2. The 15 minutes that we (the husband, cat and me) spend in bed each morning before having to get up and on with the day,


3. Living in the middle of nowhere,


4. Receiving unexpected mail/emails from friends,


5. The sun shining,


6. Feeling like I have achieved something at work,


7. Being greeted by an excited cat when I get in from work,


8. Watching my favourite programme on television,


9. Sticking to my diet,


10. My husband telling me that he loves me.

I would like to pass this award on to the following (not quite 10) but don't feel like you have to do it if you would rather not:

1. Missy at Scarlet Baby
2. Jenn at Happily Ever After
3. May at Nuts in May
4. Carolyne at No Different from any other
5. Rambler at My World My Ramblings
6. Lis at Built in birth control
7. Liz at Womb for improvement (although I know that you have taken a break but I really didn't want to miss you off as you are my faithful follower and it wouldn't be right to exclude you - I'm missing you by the way)
   

Look here, I have an award!

Thank you so much to Missy for the award. Since my last (and only other award) I have figured out how to upload the picture - check me out!

The instructions are as follows:

• Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
• Copy the award and place it in your blog.
• Link the person who nominated you for this award.
• Tell us 7 interesting things about you.
• Nominate 7 bloggers.
• Post the links to the 7 bloggers you nominate.

7 interesting things about me:

1. I LOVE chips, I could eat them every single day of the week. Give me a plate of string fries, fat chips, curly chips, potato wedges and I'm a friend for life.
2. I have to get a tape measure out when moving furniture around so that I can be sure that it is central or straight.
3. I suffer with OCD (it drives the husband mad) I check, check and re-check doors are locked, the oven is off (even if I haven't used it), the straighteners are off etc.
4. I get obsessed with things - when I see something I like I tend to go overboard and buy lots of it.
5. I twiddle my hair, I've done this since I was a baby. It used to drive my mum and dad mad. When I was younger I also used to pull clumps of hair out whilst twiddling but luckily I stopped that part of the habit!
6. I ran the L.ondon Marathan to mark my 30th birthday.
7. This award has made me realise that I don't have that many interesting things to tell you about myself!

7 bloggers I would like to nominate (apologies if you have already received this award):

1. Sas - the Sassy infertile lady
2. Chirleen - Confession of a ttc-a-holic
3. Liz - Womb for Improvement (second nomination!)
4. May - Nuts in May
5. Jenn - Happily Ever After
6. Rambler - My world, my ramblings
7. Eileen - We got hitched...

An award...

...and a somewhat late response owing to reason below.

Thanks to the Sassy Infertile Lady for the award.
