New Beginnings

Good Evening Lovely Readers

I have been tagged at Nanny's Place and have to answer the following questions. Nanny has been having a good old tidy up if you want to go and have a look:  http://myblog-nannysplace.blogspot.com Anyway, so here are the rules:

#1 - Post these rules.

#2 - Answer the 11 questions from the person who tagged you. 

#3 - Create 11 new questions for the people you tag.

#4 - Tag 11 people and link them to your post.

#5 - Let them know that you tagged them.



1.When did you start blogging and why?
In the New Year- I made resolutions about clearing clutter, being frugal, saving and trying to find more energy for my creative tasks and blogging seemed a good way to share this.

2.What was the last thing that you bought that you wish you didn't?
The house we live in now. Other half loved it but it's not practical, costs a fortune to run because it is not energy efficient and we have a huge mortgage. It is currently on the market.

3.What is your most precious childhood memory?
Spending time with my Nanny who was utterly divine and her teaching me to knit.

4. What is your favorite color and why?
Blue - I grew up by the sea and still live close and I love it. I am a Piscean so guess that accounts for my love of water.

5. What was your best date with your significant other?
I'll come back to that one...

6.What do you consider your biggest achievement in life?
Giving birth to 4 amazing children and breastfeeding them all for ages.

7.Are you a loner or would you rather be in a crowd?
Bit of a loner, but quite happy in a group too, especially when I know people.

8.What was the best meal you've ever had?
The veggie sausages, mash and peas that Mr Thrifty just cooked for me!

9.If you were granted 3 wishes from a genie, what would you ask for?
I would start by wishing for a genie in a jar who would grant me unlimited wishes! Then I'd go for being slim, peace,  ( I know it should be the other way round., but I am being honest), an end to exploitation in all its forms... Then I would wish for a moneyless world - people would have to trade skills and goods to get what they needed. Oh, and I would introduce schools along the lines of the one started by Satish Kumar in Devon which teaches kids about ecology and how to live, rather than a load of stuff they will never use (spoken as a teacher!!!).

10.If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
To see the Northern Lights and stay in the Ice Hotel.

11. Who is your best friend?
My hearing dog Zena. (How sad is that?).


So these are the people I am tagging:     ... they are wonderful blogs so do go and have a look for yourself!
