Liebster Blogger Award

This week I have received a Liebster Award from Fay at http://crafts-crazy.blogspot.co.uk Please check out her blog.
The Liebter Award nomination is given to up and coming bloggers who have fewer than 200 followers. It's a great way to meet other bloggers, find great blogs and a way to recognise the hard work that goes into creating and maintaining a blog.

 

The Rules:

1)Link back to the person that nominated you 
2)List 11 Facts about yourself (optional)
3)Answer the 11 questions given to you by the person who nominated you for the award
4)Nominate 11 blogs/bloggers who themselves have 200 or fewer followers
5)Think up 11 different questions for the people you are nominating to answer
6)Notify your nominees so they know you can answer and join in!

so..11 facts about me!

1)I'm so grammar obsessed I changed the word 'less' to 'fewer' in the rules because it was used incorrectly.

2)I have a German ShepherdxHusky called Charlie.



3)I didn't choose Charlie. My boyfriend's sister owned him but couldn't cope.



4)I am buying a house two streets away from where I currently rent.

5)I work as a teacher in an FE College teaching GCSE and Functional Skills English.

6)I'm 27 and still get asked for ID.

7)I used to dye my hair constantly when I was a teenager - so much I forgot what my natural hair colour looked like.

8)I love Family Guy, Friends, Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model and House, although I'm embarrassed that this choice of programmes makes me look like an airhead.

9)I like vintage style but have to try to decorate on a budget so have to be clever with buying items.



10)I am thinking about making my own teacup candles.

11)I am doing an MSc in Psychology in my free time, just for fun.
