Awards Part Two

Posted on February 2, 2013 by Alastair

I got the Super Sweet Blogging Award from Ute. Thanks Ute. I have to nominate a baker’s dozen of other blogs for this award, and then answer five questions. Okay, the questions are as follows:

1 Cookie or cake?
It depends on my mood. Most of the time though, I would prefer a cookie.

2. Chocolate or Vanilla?
Again it depends entirely my mood, but I do tend to favour Vanilla.

3. What is your favourite sweet treat?
Flapjack. I adore flapjack

4. When do you crave sweet things the most?
I don’t tend to crave sweet things. I can go without for ages.

5. If you had a sweet nickname, what would it be?
I don’t know. Maybe something unoriginal like “sweetie” 😉

Now to nominate 13

Jo Bryantz
Land of Fun
Lynda Michele
Kelly Hartland
Lizzie Joy
Marsha Lee
Melody Lowes
Mother Grogan

If you don’t do awards, please just take it as a compliment 🙂

Awards Part One

Posted on January 8, 2013 by Alastair

I have been very lax with these awards. So I am going to do a few at a time. I will do a few of the bits for one of the awards that I have, and then say who is getting the awards.

1. Tell Me About Yourself Award

Given to me Cristi at Simple Interesting

2. Reality Blog Award

Given to me by Cristi at Simple Interesting

3. Reader Appreciation Award

1) If you could change something what would you change?
Possibly the amount of money I have so that I can fly around the world whenever I want

2) If you could repeat an age, what age would it be?
I don’t know if I would. Each age we go through teaches us new things. Why learn the same things again?

3) What one thing really scares you?
The thought of something happening to my kids

4) What one dream have you not completed yet and do you think you will be able to complete it.
Ever since I was a kid, I have wanted to go to America. I hope I will be able to complete it. You never know, this year may be the year.

5) If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be?
Someone with a lot of money and then donate a lot of it to me. 😀

Blog of the Year Award part 3

Posted on December 11, 2012 by Alastair

Sharla, Cristi, Maxima and Rachel have all nominated me again for the Blog of the Year Award, bringing my stars to the maximum of 6. I would like to thank everybody who has liked or commented on my blog. I have also received nominations from Raani, Mary, Gys, ClanMother, Ute, CW, Oasien and NG Tom

This award is different as you collect stars for it. Each time you receive the award, you gain another star up to six in total, plus the extras making fourteen.

Here are the rules for accepting this award:

1 Select the blog(s) you think deserve the ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award

2 Write a blog post and tell us about the blog(s) you have chosen – there’s no minimum or maximum number of blogs required – and ‘present’ them with their award.

3 Please include a link back to this page ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award – and include these ‘rules’ in your post (please don’t alter the rules or the badges!)

4 Let the blog(s) you have chosen know that you have given them this award and share the ‘rules’ with them

5 You can now also join their Facebook page – click the link here ‘Blog of the Year 2012’ Award Award and then you can share your blog with an even wider audience

6 As a winner of the award – please add a link back to the blog that presented you with the award – and then proudly display the award on your blog and sidebar … and start collecting stars…

Ok, let’s start.

I’ve been nominated six now so I get all six stars.
