Hey Y’all it’s happened again, more awards that I was nominated for, that I have already gratefully received!
Here they are…
Daydreamer Award 10th March Vaishali of the The Champa Tree blog.
Liebster Award 20th March Shivangi of Latest Stories By Shivangi blog.
Now, as I have already gratefully receive these, I think I would like to pass the awards on to some new bloggers I have met recently, and show my gratitude to the blogs above for nominating me!
Awarded 10/3/15
The Daydreamer Award – Vaishali wanted me to describe myself, tell others something about me that I haven’t managed to tell others yet, but have been meaning to…
Well, that’s a hard one, I think I am pretty much what it says on the box, if you know what I mean! I am a straight up British born Indian girl, with a mix of east west, that means I kinda get the best of both worlds! I am sweet and innocent, a good Indian girl, according to my family, and those who don’t really know me that well, then those who know me better know the Ritu that is a WHOLE lotta laughs, not so innocent, but still pretty sweet! I can recall the faces of so many people I have met over the years who are almost shocked to see I know so much about life, and am not some sheltered individual, but hey, I don’t mind, I am able to morph into the right kind of personality for the situation!
And for my nominees
1) Lily Pups Life
2) My Grandfather Was An Undertaker
3) Sane Teachers
Take a look at the rules:
- Thank the person who gave you the award.
- Complete the challenge they set you.
- Select a blog or blogs that you want to give the award to. (The amount of blogs you select is unlimited!)
- Tell them about it and set them a challenge.
- Please include the rules in your post.
- You can use the image I have used for the award!
My challenge to you is to tell me about your dream partner…

Went to the hairdressers the other week, and she complimented my hair colour… a home colour job…
“A lovely shade of blonde!” She said… Huh??
So, I thought it was a shade of brown.
Lil Man agrees, brown he says…
Lil Princess said light brown with a tiny bit of orange (thanks !)
Hubby says brown
Hair dresser says blonde?!?!?!
So, please, comment and tell me what color you see!
Maybe my hair is like that dress!!!!
Rob! – Kids Logic Part 18

Sat in Burger King this lunchtime, a treat for Lil Princess as she had her grading at Karate today, and got whacked on the cheek kinda hard…
Tears ensued but we managed to mop them up with a BK serviette… Nothing a Kids Meal toy can’t fix!
Lil Man was “hai-ya”ing at the time at him own grading.
Hubby Dearest put the order in and the two of us, the ladies, went to find a table.
There was a 4 seater table available.
LP: Good! You sit there, me here, Daddy there, and Rob can sit opposite me!
Me: Rob? Who’s Rob?
LP: My imaginary friend!
Me: Why is he called Rob?
LP: It’s because he takes things that aren’t his!
And a big smile followed!
I guess that makes sense actually! Pretty clever!
