Seven things you didn't know about me

Lovely Linda Jones has awarded me the Kreativ Blogger Award (which I think also means a win a £1000 prize, a brand new car and free access to a local health spa for a year, although I'm not sure. There is no mention of that in her piece; I'm assuming so unless I hear otherwise.)

To get my prize award, I have to disclose seven facts about myself that have not been said before. So here goes:

Under the influence of two pints of lager I got a small tattoo on my stomach. It seemed a good idea at the time, less so when nine months pregnant.

I once had dinner with one of ITV's Gladiators. (I'm not saying who.)

I have shaken hands with Eric Clapton. (I'm not saying where.)

I once bumped into Bonnie Langford after an eyebrow wax. (My eyebrows, not hers.)

My friends put out an alert the London Transport Police after I completed a charity walk, celebrated with three glasses of wine and then wandered off. (I somehow made it home; I don't remember exactly how.)

I am actually quite shy.

I walked out of a job at an upmarket shoe shop because I was bored.

I cannot cook.

I now have to pass the award onto seven other bloggers who can take up the following challenge, if they wish:

1. Copy the award to your blog
2. Insert a link to the person who nominated me
3. Tell you seven things about myself that I haven’t told you before
4. Nominate seven other bloggers for the award
5. Link to their blogs
6. Tell the nominees about their award

So I'm awarding it to:

Heather at Notes from Lapland

Laura at Are we nearly there yet mummy?

Hazel at Hot Cross Mum

Emily at Babyrambles

Sian at Mummy-tips

Jay at Mochabeaniemummy

Nickie at Typecast2000

Classic. I love your mysterious celeb encounters ('I won't say where...'). I've got a tattoo as well. My friend had a tummy tattoo that grew to epic proportions when she was pregnant. Did yours shrink back to normal afterwards??!

[Rosie Scribble]

It did shrink back to normal, Becky, although the words "This would look hilarious if I got pregnant" did come back to haunt me.

[Susie]

LOL-enjoyed your list.

[Selina Kingston]

I know one of those celebs you mentioned (I'm not saying which)

[Nickie @ Typecast]

Great list - I'm now wondering if Bonnie Langford noticed the red, raw stripe above your eyes and commented on it...

Thanks for the tag - have got it saved for next week :)

[Barbara]

I always wanted a small tattoo somewhere. I think I'm probably too old to start that sort of shenanigans now.

[Emily O]

Thank you for the tag! I'm looking forward to this one. Oh please tell me which Gladiator! Hunter? Wolf? Rhino? Ace? I'm going to be wondering forever now.

[Rosie Scribble]

Ah! Prehaps we used to live near each other. You never know!

[Rosie Scribble]

The raw, red stripe was firmly covered by the very long fringe I had grown for the occasion, thankfully!

[Rosie Scribble]

Well Barbara, my daughter has often queried what it is. I have put myself in a diffcult position if she ever announces she is getting one too. Heck!

[Rosie Scribble]

Emily, I'm saying nothing (unless I meet you one day, then we'll talk!).

[Rosie Scribble]

Thank you - slightly more than I usually disclose!

[Barbara]

Good point. I'm definitely too old to get one now then as my daughter will notice. My policy of not hiding my body from her has also rendered that a non-starter.

[debbie]

I love your sense of humor! This was a great list.

[Hot Cross Mum]

Hello Ms Scribble. Love this last - I am guessing it was Hunter and I also hope that you walked out of the shoe shop job with a cracking pair of their upmarket shoes on your feet! Thanks for passing onto me. I may have to temporarily inhabit someone else's body to make mine in any way interesting.......

[Rosie Scribble]

Lovely Hot Cross Mum, I'm sure you can write an interesting list, I don't doubt you for a minute. Hunter? No comment. I see you are attempting a process of elimination. I like your style. LOL!
