The Wakawafu Award

image

I hear what you might be saying…
“What on earth is that??” I asked the same thing initially!
Never heard of this one so had to make sure this was formally accepted, and properly!!
So, thank you heaps, to Sandra, of A Momma’s View, for considering, and nominating me for this award!

What is it?
This is quoted directly from the award creator, Wakawafu…

“The idea behind this award is to motivate other fellow bloggers and to act as a token of appreciation- just as we ourselves felt motivated and really felt good about what we do. It is a small gesture that we hope goes a long way. One other thing we will be doing however, when the award is awarded, we will be posting a link to the nominated blog on our own website, so that people can actually find these blogs. I feel that there are so many awesome people to chat with who are blogging too and it can be hard to find people easily, so I hope through this people who want to find new bloggers can do so more easily- just comment on the Wakuwafu award page when you receive it and we will put up a a link to your blog. The rules of the blog won’t be too long, but they will let you get to know one another more!”

What a lovely idea!

Here are the rules:

* Thank the person who has nominated you and provide a link to their blog. ✔
* Choose any 3 things you would like to say about yourself to your fellow bloggers. ✔
* Answer the 3 questions set by your nominator.✔
* Think up 3 questions you would like to ask the people you nominate. ✔
* Give one piece of advice to your fellow bloggers. ✔

So, I’ve given my heartfelt thanks…
On to 3 things about me…

1) I’m a firm believer in looking after yourself, so you are fit and well, and happy in yourself. Only then are you capable of helping and looking after others. Hence I am writing this post at the Nail Shop, being pampered!!
2) OMG!!! This morning I found my FIRST white Eyelash!!!!!!! 40! What are you doing to me??!!
3) Shhh.. Don’t tell anyone but I might just be getting into Football… Now I have a goal scoring son!!!

And now the 3 questions I was set to answer…

Your favorite home cooked meal?
What makes it so special?

A good wholesome roast dinner! Yes I know I’m Indian, but I’ve always loved a roast… More than a curry! It’s filling and just YUM!!!

Camping or hotel? Why?

Hotel, for sure!!!!! I think that if I am going away, I want pampering, not slumming it!

If you’d win in the lottery, what’s the first thing you’d do?

Pay off our mortgage, so we are free of the bidmggest debt, then we can do good after!

My Nominations…
Have to be my Blogily siblings!
Big sis Judy of Edwinas Episodes
Big sis Erika of Erika Kind
Big bro Rich of Wafflemethis

And your questions…
1) What do you prefer to write? Fiction or poetry?
2) Family or Friends?
3) What place do pets have in your life?

And finally, my advice to bloggers…
Please never let your blogging become a chore, stay true to yourself, and enjoy your whole experience! WordPress can be a wonderful place… Let it stay that fun place, not somewhere you feel you HAVE to come to… That’s a surefire way to kill your creativity!

OK it’s a little later than usual, but here goes…

Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time; serenity, that nothing is.

The Next Big Decision

  
No, not a big decision concerning me, but more for Lil Man this time!

We’ve been through the whole 11+ shebang… and as you know, he didn’t take it. It wasn’t for him, and I feel that was the best decision him.

Now it’s that next step. Secondary school application time! Oh My Goodness! When did he become old enough that we now are applying for secondary school places for him??!!

Now, it’s a minefield out there. There are great schools, some close, some not. There are Ofsted reports to read, opinions to gather, from people whos children attend the schools, to the kids themselves, along with the thoughts of more ‘in the know’ professionals… I get that perk being a teacher, I can get more honest opinions from heads and teachers I know!

We have been advised to go to the open days, not only for the schools we are interested in, but also those that we are not planning on applying to, as you may get a different feeling once you are there, and more importantly, what is your opinion, may not be that of your child, who ultimately is the one who will be going there.

I have at least 4 open days in the next 9 days for us to attend. And I think I’m more nervous than Lil Man is!!! The deadline for the forms is still over a month away, but still, I’m petrified that I will muck something up! 

Added to the application forms, certain schools have additional forms that need filling in too, like your faith schools, or those that have an allowance for talented children in certain subjects. Didn’t I say this is complex?! 

I’ve been checking out the websites of schools. Printing forms and researching dates. The mind boggles!

This one decision could affect his whole life! I sincerely hope he gets the place we decide is the first choice, but the rest is in God’s hands, I guess…

  
Oh, and sitting there going over these things, I didn’t get to do the work I had hoped to do, for school. But at least it isn’t urgent!
