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

Awarded 15/3/15

It wasn’t long ago that I had even heard of this award, and here I am accepting it for a second time!! Here is my first time round!

This time it has come from Blunderdad at the greatly funny blog, Single Family Asylum. (Go visit, click follow! You won’t regret it!!)

The rules?

Thank your nominator – as I have above!
Display the award graphic – as above!
Take the challenge, answer the daydreamer question your nominator has set you.
Nominate some blogs you feel worthy of the award.
Let your nominees know.
Create a challenge question for your nominees to answer too!

So, one and two done, now for the challenge…

For my challenge to the nominees, Describe in great detail how great I am . . . hahahaha, I couldn’t resist. But really, I challenge you to describe what interested you in, or inspired you to blog.

So, I have always loved to write, since I was a teeny weeny one, and that love has never left me, but it has lain by the wayside many a year, to be picked up once in a while, only to be left again, until I had more time… Last November a friend of mine started a blog, about her life, and feelings, and I wanted to comment on her first post…and there was that button tempting me to log in or Sign Up! And so I did… And it has been an amazing few months! My creative juices have started flowing again, I have found out that I have a way with words, when relating a humorous story, or relaying my point of opinion… And the support I have received on here has been immense. So now I blog, something I had never considered before, and I wonder where this blogging has been all my life!!!!

And now to nominate a few worthy bloggers… There are so many so here are a few I hope you, my readers, will enjoy, and support, and these are blogs I feel deserve the nomination.

1) Everyday Zen
2) Chantal And Shekinah
3) The Mischief Memoirs
4) Lily Alice
5) Everything’s Coming Up Rosie

And so for the Challenge question for you…

What would be your dream meal? If you could choose a meal to end all mealtimes, what would you have, and why, it can be as much or as little as you require!

Thanks again to my nominator!

Oops I did it again! – The Daydreamer Award

Awarded 8/3/15

Crazy but true! I have been nominated for another award this week, this time by Edwina over at Edwina’s Episodes. This is an award for blogs that are inspiring, creative or funny. I hadn’t even heard of this one before, so wow! Thank you!

Here are the rules:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award.

2. Complete the challenge they set you.

3. Select a blog or blogs that you want to give the award to. (The amount of blogs you select is unlimited!)

4. Tell them about it and set them a challenge.

(Please include the rules in your post).

My challenge is to describe my dream destination….

Wow! That is actually quite a hard one! I would love to go somewhere hot, first and foremost! Where there is a pale golden, sandy beach, beautiful blue skies and crystal clear water. Drinks on tap, food arriving at a click of my fingers, brought to me by a waiter who is at my beck and call al the time! No one constantly calling “Mummy!”…. Peace for a short while at least…. Oh and of course, the other amazing quality of this dream destination would be that on arrival, the muffin top I have acquired will mystically disappear, and I will appear svelte and amazing, in my swim suit… oh and my hair wouldn’t frizz!!!!

But that is a dream indeed….!

I would love to go and explore Australia! I have family there, but we have never had a chance to go visit them. I would love dearly to tale 6 months or a year out, and visit them, but then actually travel around, and see the whole country!

Now, here are the blogs I would like to nominate for this award…

1) Susieshy45

2) Blog of a Mad Black Woman

3) I Refuse To Follow Your Blog

4) Penning My Voice

5) Blue Chick Ninja

Your challenge is to describe your dream dinner party, complete with your dream dinner guests!
