South African Blog Awards for 2012 is on laaik Donkey Kong!

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. (If you think I deserve it) Oh, I know I haven't been blogging regularly since September but, most of the year I blogged daily and have been for five years!! Standby for this year's festive Christmas vlog...It'll be a whopper.

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

MagnetoBoldToo

Gossip Guy

Indigo Roth

Not So Simply Single

Thanx again for the Blog Award.

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!


Blogs I recommend for this award?


YeamieWaffles from Matthew's Blog


My Inner Chick


Joshua  from Vive Le Nerd


Mark from Our Simple Lives


Alex from Alex J. Cavanaugh


These Plonkers deserve this award because I love their blogs and they always comment on mine!!  Use it or loose it, Plonkers...

Naughty or Nice

Got another award....

1.What is the silliest prank you ever played on someone?
I once pulled a prank on one of my not so favourite work colleagues....okay she was a Bitch!  I put some pilchards in the back of her bottom drawer and waited for the reek to ripen and mature.  It took her weeks to find out what stank like fish in her office. 

2. If you could take a trip anywhere out of the country where would you go? Why?I'd go to Italy for the awesome history and architecture..or to Bonnie Scotland for a nice skiing holiday.

3. Who plays the most influential role in your life?
My Boerewors has taught me a lot in life - about patience and the importance of positive expression. My mum has also been a huge influence who has instilled a strong, determined, independent spirit in me.  She also swears like a sailor (well she used to).

4. Are you ok with your significant other being friends with an ex?
Yes.

5. Favorite candle scent?
Vanilla or Yang Yang.

6. Next movie you're excited about seeing?
I honestly don't get excited about watching movies...there are dozens of other things to get excited about.

7. You must ban one word from the dictionary and all usage, to be no longer uttered or written. What word do you ban?
HATE.  I always use the alternative - detest.

8. Do you have any relatives in jail?
Who knows...

9. What crazy fads were popular when you were a teenager?
Big spiral permed hair, mod Parkas, neon shoes, spiked box hair, bubble pin up skirts, g-string leotards for aerobics work outs - it was the 80's people!!! 

10. Have you ever been mentioned in a newspaper or on TV?
In the newspaper - a lot for all my athletic and literary accomplishments.  I never did get my 5 minutes of fame on the telly though...humph!

So am I good or bad?

I'm not passing this award on to anyone...the questions don't really reflect whether you're good or bad....rather go here and take THIS QUIZ. 


Be like a Duck...  Calm on top but paddling like FUCK underneath.

A few Blog Awards that I'm dishing out

A couple of awards I want to give.  Just Because I Can and its my blog and I'll do what I want, okay?!

The first one goes to Green Eyed Momster just because she's one of my most dedicated commentators on my blog and never fails to make me smile AND she absa lootly adores getting awards.  No one else would appreciate it more.

I have two others the deserve this award too:  KK and Cat from Juggling Act of Life as they come in a close second in reading my drivel-filled bloggy.  Thanx for being such supportive commentators.  Thanx girls!!

The next award goes to an Extraordinary Blogger and that be Christie .  She's doing the most awesome music challenge over at her blog at the moment.  Go check it out!
