Hey Guys
I've been nominated for a Liebster Award not once but twice, by the lovely Becky of beckawoo and the very kind Philippa of glitter and jelly
Apparently "this little award is all about discovering new blogs and helping those with less than 200 followers to get recognised" and the rules to follow after being nominated are:
1. Each person tagged must post 11 things about themselves.
2. They must also answer the 11 questions the 'tagger' has set for them.
3. They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag.
4. They must then choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers and tag them in their post.
5. These lucky bloggers must then be told.
6. There are no tag backs.
6. There are no tag backs.

1. I live with my boyfriend and my cat Casper. My boyfriend's 4 year old son stays with us every other weekend <3
2. I have two younger sisters and three really close girlfriends who are like sisters to me.
3. I work in a solicitors office.
4. I LOVE painting my nails and find it very relaxing after a stressful day at work (or the Hell Hole as I normally call it!)
5. I'm 32 years old but don't feel it most of the time!
6. I can't wait to have a baby.
7. My favourite colour is purple although you could probably tell that from the name of my blog huh!
8. I have a few favourite animals, including wolves, huskies, pandas, butterflies and cats - random selection right?!?
9. My favourite shape is a star although I don't know why.
10. I love reading and am a real "bookwork".
11. I also love taking photos.
My questions from Becky are:
1. What type of music do you like?
I like all kinds of music but especially soft rock like Bon Jovi & the Foo Fighters.

2. What's your favourite quote and why?
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” ― Marilyn Monroe - This quote means a lot to me because I've had bad relationships in the past which have made me appreciate the one I'm in now.
