Liebster!

The Lovely Zoe over at Maddie Bug and I has nominated me for a Liebster! I am truly chuffed, I've had one before but not for ages so it's lovely to be considered again.



For anyone who doesn't know what a Liebster is, here's the gist of it. It's an award for bloggers with fewer than 200 followers recorded to the blog (Bloglovin etc) who you think is great for what ever reason. It's a great way to get to know other bloggers in the same range as yourself and share other great bloggers you follow.

  • Questions

    These are the questions Zoe asked me:

    1. What is the sole purpose of your blog?
    It's changing! All the time! It's started off as a diary, then turned into somewhere I came to vent, then it became a journal blog of my marriage and motherhood - which it still is - but now with reviews and such chucked in.
    2. Which social network is your favorite?
    Ooooh! Too easy to say Facebook, because it is so easy to use. But more and more I am using Google+!
    3. Favorite TV show?
    I have 3 right now, True Blood, Game of Thrones and Dexter!
    4. What is something unique about you that a lot of people may not know?
    I have a secret passion for cheap, girly romance novels. I hide them behind my other books!
    5. What is your occupation?
    Office Manager / Credit Control at a local commercial cleaning firm
    6. What is your favorite makeup product?
    Eye liner & mascara! Any brand. I am rarely seen without lashings of both!
    7. What is in your purse right now?
    Tissues, kids snacks, one lipstick, 2 mobile phones (one my own, one my work phone), cash & cards
    8. What is your favorite quote or motto?
    It changes, but currently "May The Odds Be Ever In Your Favour!" (in an over the top posh voice)
    9. If you could only shop at one store for the rest of your life, what would it be?
    Probably Asda, since that's where we do most of our food/household/clothes shopping already
    10. What is your favorite post on your blog that you have done?
    There are so many I find it hard to pick just one. But one of the best from the last 12 months has to be the day it rained inside the house

    Wedding List.... (OMG)

    A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

    Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

    I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
