Blog Award from Nagzilla

Thanx to Nagzilla for my recent Star of Excellent Blog Award.  

I haven't had one of these for a while and I loved the list of blogs she recommended to follow.


Thanx to you, girl, I'm following 3 new awesome blogs because of you.

Nagzilla loves hand sanitizer and is a massive Star Wars fan... and she frikken rocks Leila side buns.

She is funny as hell, loves chest hair and is a talented writer.  She's kind of a geek when it comes to grammar and she has a Yoda tattoo. How cool is she, right?  How can you not love someone that drinks UV Cake Vodka and pineapple juice?

Go Follow her at The Adventures of Nagzilla

If you don't already, shame on YOU.  

Now I hand the Nagzilla Star Of Excellence to blogs that make me smile as much as her does.

a Lovely Blog Award

Paula recently bequeathed me with one Lovely Blog Award.  

Now, beautiful Plonkers I'm not sure so that I have a "lovely" blog, but I was so dead chuffed that someone else thought so.  Thank you to Paula.  You're dead sweet.

Paula is the ultimate Blog Challenge lass.  If there is a blog challenge happening in Bloggerville, she'll know about it and she'll be rockin' it.  I did the July Blog Challenge with her and got to know her a lot better.  I really don't know how she does all these challenges back-to-back like she does.  She is the blog Challenge Queen!

You rock my face off, Paula.

This is how it works :

1. Add the “One Lovely Blog Award” image to your post

2. Share seven things about you

3. Pass the award on to seven nominees

4. Thank the person who nominated you and add a short blurb about them.

5. Inform the nominees by posting on their blogs

My Seven Things:

• I adore high heel shoes, but I have the ugliest feet evar!
• I used to cut my eyelashes when I was at school because my eyelashes were so long that it was the only way I'd get away with wearing mascara at school without being busted.  
• I detest ironing and will avoid it at ALL costs.
• I adore watching talent shows like Britain and America's Got Talent and X Factor.
• We camped in our living room this weekend.
• Snakes give me the jeebie weebies.
• I love being Ginger. I never always appreciated being a red head but I've come to love my gingerness.  Red hair don't care.

Now on to the good bit.

The people that I hand the award on to are:

Jillie Side Up

Can We Have a New Witch ours Melted 

Catch my Words

I Shoulda Been a Stripper

It's Rhyme Time

Crivens Jings and Help Ma Boab

So, lovely Plonkity Plonkers. A Daft Scots Lass has been nominated for the 2012 SA Blog Awards. How frikken cool is that? I guess you know what to do by now, right? Click on the VOTE Button on my side bar (right side of your screen) and give me all the love you can.

Go Vote *Shameless Plugging*

So without much further ado Laura presents the 2012 Mommy Blogger Awards.


How it will work

You, as the reader, nominate a Mom Blogger by sending an email to Laura on why you feel I deserves to win. She doesn't really want an essay – just a few lines on why you enjoy my blog, what makes me unique or special to you etc.  Laura will then narrow it down to 5 finalists – her decision will not be based on who got the most nominations but rather what was said about them.   Once she has 5 finalists we will then put it to a vote and a winner will be chosen.  We will take nominations until the 10 August.

The finalists will be announced on the 13 August when voting opens and it will stay open until Friday the 17th August.

There will be a winner plus 2 “runners up”

Loads of Prizes for the winner

Rules
The nominated blogger must be a mom.
She must blog at least twice a week.
She must be South African.
The blog must be a personal blog.

You can send all your nominations to laurakallmayer@gmail.com.

Go Do it!

Sunshine Award

Thank you to Reflectionsofthe, a fellow South African blogger for givin me the Sunshine Blogger Award. This award is given to blogs which "contribute to the blogging community in a positive or inspirational way".

Well, Plonkers, you can fuck me dead if I have inspired someone through this wee bloggy of mine.  Usually my blog is just a place to come when you want a smile or a laugh.  Not inspiration but I'll take what I can get.


Now, those receiving the Sunshine Award are asked to:


Answer ten questions about yourself.

Pass the award on to 10 bloggers you enjoy, link to their blogs, and let them know you nominated them.


So here are my answers to the 10 questions:

Favourite Colour : Orange! Orange and Orange. Anything Orange.

Favorite animal : Butterfly. They are colourful, graceful, fragile and free.

Favorite number : 69

Favorite drink : Black tea or diet Coke.  Oh Fuck, did you mean alcohol?

Favorite website: Google, without google I would be one very unhappy lass. I am having a secret affair with Google - every day.

Passions: Music, pretty Shoes, Chocolate and Jack White

Prefer getting or giving presents: I love giving presents and I usually put quite a bit of thought and effort into my giving. I believe that its not a gift if its not something you want. I kinda get disappointed when others don't have the same enthusiasm, when I get presents.

Favorite pattern:  Tartan, of course. Black Watch to be specific.

Favorite day of the week: Friday! Weekend officially starts!
Friday's rock my fucking face off.

Favorite flower: Tulips or Lillies or Barberton Daisies. Depends on my mood.

Here is my pick for the ten nominees of this award. This blog award honors these brilliant, bold and wickedly funny bloggers.

Ramblings of a Semi-Mad Man

Anger Management

NOT WORTH MENTIONING

Rockin' Mama

Fancy Mamacita

Mother-Effer

Gossip Guy

Indigo Roth

Sunshine Blog Award

A Huge Thank you to Dan from Curmudgeon's Complaint for awarding me this Blog Award.  His blog is funny and his writing is sarcastic, original and at times a little twisted.  Just the way I like it.  He always comments on my blog and has The Best captions for my Caption My Photo Competitions.


The rules of the Sunshine Blog Award are simple…


#1 Thank the person who nominated you with a link back to their blog.
#2 Answer a few questions about yourself.


Favorite pet's? I have two puppies and a cat.  I would say I'm a cat person but now that I've had both, I think I'm more of a small doggie person. Their unconditional excitement cannot be bought!


Favorite color? Orange


Favorite movie? Sense and Sensibility


Favorite music? Jack White


Hair color? Ginger


Favorite sport? I don't play sport but to watch on telly, it would be NHL.  Those blokes are rough and tough!

Its Been Yonks Since I Got one of These Babies

I was over visiting one of my favourite bloggers ★Rockin' Mama★ who very kindly bestowed an Blog on Fire Award upon my wee bloggy.  

Gosh, Gee, Golly...I'm so incredibly flattered as I haven't received a Blog Award in Yonks!  Thanx, Destiny-with-Child.  You rock my face off, Skankalicious!  ♥♥

My favourite colour is orange.

Laugh Out Loud Award

It been a while since I received a blog award.  I was actually beginning to think that no one reads my wee blog anymore and that my sense of humour is far too twisted to be understood.  I was starting to think that I was the only one on my wicked wave-length...


Anyhoo, a huge thank you to the drop dead gorgeous, Jen "The Pen" Scavone over at The Sparkling Diamond who bestoved this LOL award upon wee moi!  Thank you, gurl...heart your face off!  At least I make one person smile...

The rules for this Award are as follows:
- Link to the person who awarded you.
- Seven unknown facts about yourself.
- Award to seven other people.

1.  I'd love to go back to Scotland for a touristy visit, to go skiiking, see the sights.
2.  My mouth is just like my arse;  big and in yer face.
3.  We are about to rip up our laminated wooden flooring and replacing the entire house with tiles.  I'm really excited about the change but I'm not looking forward to the fucking mess.
4.  I dreamt last night that my littlest got lost at a festival and I spent ages frantically looking for her and calling out her name.  It was the worst nightmare I've had in years!  I woke up just wanting to make sure she was okay and safe.
5.  I love a cuppa tea and a biscuit in the morning.  Aaaaaaa cuppa tea.
6.  I'm off to the hair dresser today to get them to fix up my rats tails.
7.  It's important to get a reaction and jump-start some kind of emotion out of people when they listen to what you're about.

And now..... I give this award to people who make me laugh out loud on a regular basis.

This Copyboy at  NOT WORTH MENTIONING NEVER fails to make me laugh and spit tea on my keyboard on occassion.


My girl, Kelley over at Magento Bold Too has a way to make the most mundane things sound hysterically funny.  She's wickedly clever and one of the best mum's I know...


A local dude, Griffin over at Watkykjy and Fok Jou Projek never fails to get me giggling with his box of chocolate of a blog and his plenty followers' comments.


Jason over at Out-Numbered is an incredibly funny dad and children's book author, who shares stories about being a family man.  He makes me chuckle a lot which makes me read his posts twice coz I want to enjoy it over and over.


Hitch up yer wagon and head over to Australian SAHM aka Stay At Home Madness for a giggle in every post. 

Keeps Me From Killing

Keeps Me From Killing Award was given to me by Nanny @ Naughty Mommy Reviews a while ago.

This award is given to blogs that keep your attention for more than a couple of visits and for more than five minutes and keep you coming back for more, while keeping insane arses like myself glued to the computer otherwise preventing mass disorder and chaos!

By excepting this award I except the responsibility of spreading the killing spree.  Let it begin....

Guess Who Got an Award?!

1. Thank the person who gave this award to you:

I've recently started following Beth from Two Monkeys and a Wash Tub.  She has some awesome giveaways but I seem to make her laugh - but I'm not sure this "sweet" award is appropriate for me -  I dunno what blog she's been reading...

2. Copy the award and put it on your blog.

Voila!

3. List three things which you love about yourself.

• My wicked sense of humour and warped mind.  I amuse myself a lot just with my own vivid imagination.
• I'm a good friend and will walk to the ends of the earth for my peeps. 
• My awesome smokin' hawt philtrum

4. Post a picture you love. 

Our Camping Group of Friends (HKGK)

 This picture is full of special people!  Our close group of friends - we camp together, we laugh together, we drink together, we do most things together...Love you all!

5. Pass this award on to 5 of the sweetest bloggers:

Ami Mental 

Juggling Act of Life

Nocturnal Queen

Red Means Go


Hootin' Anni

I don't really do "sweet" but I do have lots of sweet bloggers I follow.

I thought I'd add ONE more thing to this award just because the songs name is Black Horse and Cherry Tree and its one of my favourties by KT Tunstall
.  Enjoy!

My Rays of Sunshine

*whoop whoop*

Another Blog Award from ma gurl, Green Eyed Momster.  You're such a honey-pie and cheered me up no end by awarding me this little ray of sunshine.  Orange is also my favourite colour, but you already knew that.  Wuv you Wong Time!!!


My daily dose of Sunshine beams :  Last night I was in the bath with Megan (my eldest).  This is where we have quality time chatting about the day and sharing a giggle or two.  She was making armpit farts and I was making Donald Duck farts - we were in fits of laughter.  Sometimes you just have had to be there with us.  It was hysterical, two nekkied girls in the bath making rude noises and giggling until we couldn't breathe!

Now did I create a vivid enough picture for you?

I'm going to make up my own rules on this one. I'm going to award this to five bloggers who create beams of sunshine into my life on a regular basis.

Your are:


Sleep Talkin' Man - I can relate to Adam and his dreams are obviously hysterical.

Bridget from Because I Can

Mr Know It All

Blaze from My Game...it's your move

Tarzan and Jane over at His Boys Can Swim

and you too but I'd be here forever listing everyone that brings sunshine in my life.

Thanx ya'll for keeping me going and keeping me with a smile on my face.

Second Blog Award

A huge thanx to Marcelle for my Kreativ Blogger Award.  Marcelle is an expat South African who has been living in a beautiful part of Germany for the last five years.  She has lost so much weight over the last year and is the most glamorous granny EVA!  A body to die for!  Way to Go, Marcelle.

So, I'm passing on this award to the following fellow brilliant bloggers that make me laugh on a daily basis:

A Nut in a Nutshell
Green Eyed Momster
The Offended Blogger
The Peach Tart
My Game...Its Your Move
Dutch Donut Girl
Because I Can
Airing My Dirty Laudry One Sock at a Time

Now I need to tell you seven things you may not know about me:
1. I love speed.  I have a Ford Focus ST with many modifications and love the power and driving a high speed.  Put me on the back of a motorcycle and you won't get the smile off my face for a week!

2. When I was little I wanted to be a ballerina but my mum couldn't afford dance lessons. I had a neighbour who went twice a week and I'd rush over to her house after she got back from her lessons and she'd teach me what she did that day. I'd squeeze my feet into her tiny ballet pumps (she was almost two years younger than I was) - it was very sad.

3. Music is my comfort.  I crank the volume button up in the car when my favourite songs are playing.  My girls are used to it but their poor ear must've been bleeding as infants.

4. I only drink beer for burping competitions which I generally win.

5. I am secretly wish I could afford botox.  My wrinkles bother me.  I don't think I will age gracefully.  Speaking of which, I'm very pro-plastic surgery.

6. I once killed a boyfriends hamster by mistake by leaving him out on a sunny balcony in his plastic ball for an entire afternoon. When I went to put him back in his cage he was stiff as a board. I felt like shit.

7. When I was about 10 years old I lived in or is it on, my roller skates. I would put them on the minute I got home from school and not take them off until bed time.

Accept it, use it, or not, do what you want with it.  You deserve it!
