Eeeek! 3 sleeps to go until you know what!

I am driving people potty with my talking about it all the time!

I thought, since I am meeting all of you for the first time, I’d do a very Indian thing which is to bring something sweet, and what better than something sweet and bubbly, like me! ;P (And of course I promised Hugh!)

It had to be Malteasers! They have already featured on my blog as they are my favourite chocolate subject, and I even did a huge comparison and debate post comparing our Malteasers to the Stateside version, Whoppers! (Ours won, of course!)

So…

Let’s hope I don’t get peckish in advance, or on the train, and that the temperature isn’t too hot, melted Malteasers aren’t the best!

Just did a bulk buy shop in Asda. The woman at the till just stared, and I said, “Don’t ask….!”

Soooo excited!

Oh, and while I’m on the subject of the Blogger’s Bash, there are now less than 24 hours until the votes close, so if you haven’t…

… vote now! Just click here to vote!

And I know I am asking for your support on this award, but there are many other awards, and such deserving blogs, so cast your votes for all of them! The votes close at 10pm UK time on Thursday 9th June, that is TOMORROW!

It’s been a while but I was blessed, not once but twice with a new award (to me anyway!)

The Smiley Thumb Award! Isn’t it so cute!!!!

First, Lisa from Life of an El Paso Woman nominated me, then my dear blog sis Erika only went and nominated me too!

*Include the photo of the Smiley Thumb Award
*Thank the person who nominated you. Provide a link to their blog.
*Tell us what makes you smile.
*Nominate as many bloggers as you’d like.
*Include these rules in your post.

What makes me smile?

My kids, my Hubby Dearest, eating good food with good company, looking at our wedding pictures, reading a great book, hearing songs I love after a long time come onto the radio, seeing my nephew on Skype, the sun… the list can go on and on, forI find things to smile about in all places I look 🙂

I am actually going to be a little naughty, but I will ask you all to accept that you have been nominated for this award. An award that makes you think of the positives in life is most definitely something I wish to share with all my Peeps, so consider yourself nominated, if you are reading, and then SMILE!!!!!
