My first ever blog award!

So - I have been sitting here feeling lonely and unloved - just waiting (not very patiently!) for someone to give me a blog award!  Hmmmmmm?  Oh ok - seriously....ala Oscars....

sniffle, whimper - "Oh my gosh, I cant believe I won!  I am SO not worthy of this fabulous award.  I'd like to thank Penlight for giving it to me - and Pickles and Popcorn, my cats for not walking on the keyboard while I am trying to type this....."  loud whisper...."cats, hear that?  I am thanking you - so no more mind control with the cat treats ok?  ----- ok, yes, just a few, when I am done here.....or now, yes now is good...."

This is my award!  YAY!  OK - now I have to follow the rules - otherwise someone might come along and take it back again!

SO - hang on....just gotta pop back to Pen's blog here and check the rules! 
Right - I am back!
 
The rules:  Write 10 things about yourself others might not know and pass the award on to 10 others. 


1.  I am a librarian - love my job - have so much fun - yep, working in libraries can be heaps of fun!
2.  I am married to fabby Tony - and we have one son called Joshua!  Yes, it was our choice to have one and we are quite happy with the situation - and no, we are not selfish to only have one!
3.  I have one brother called Mark who is a seriously fabby hairdresser - has done lots of stuff in lots of countries and is just so cool.  He runs Toni & Guy Salon in Canary Wharf if anyone is passing!
4.  I live in Hornchurch outside of London - our postal address is Essex but we live in a London Borough!  
5.  Think everyone knows most of this stuff already....but we have lots of animals - two cats, Popcorn and Pickles (had to reverse the names so they didnt get jealous!), a gerbil called Mr Gerbil (we had Mrs Gerbil too!), a hamster (called Da Beast! - cos she is so cute and fluffy), a lizard called Gwim Weaper (he was scared of his cwickets when we first had him!), 3 guinea pigs - Darth Piggy, Yoda Pig and Gramarian Guinea (Josh was very into StarWars when we got them!) and assorted fish!
6.  I take on other people's accents without realising - this can be either very annoying, very pretentious or actually quite useful when you are trying to establish common ground with someone.
7.  I am very underconfident - ok, no one who knows me will believe that!  
8.  I am a libran - oooo can be funny trying to argue anything with me - I can see the other person's side so completely that I will often take over their argument and they end up arguing against their original stand!
9.  I am not that smart - lots of people think I am - but I just know how to find stuff out - I dont know lots of stuff straight off - now Josh and Tony - THEY ARE SMART!
10.  I hate to lose at games and stuff and I allow myself to take criticism too much to heart!  BUT I would do anything to avoid upsetting or hurting anyone - so please love me!


Hmmmm now need to find 10 people to hand this onto.


I am going to go for some people who made me so welcome when I first started blogging -

Sorry, what's that Popcorn?....oh ok....Popcorn said she would like to personally give the blog award to LEAH because Leah likes Popcorn's name!!!! 


Phew - gotta go and leave notes on all these blogs now! And give the cats some cat treats......no, I havent given them any yet!......well thats what they are telling me!
