I know, I don’t accept blog awards… but when they are given, I find it very hard to say no. So instead, I will just say thank you to Ritu of So I Smile Anyway for having included me in the Creative Blogger Award.

The guidelines:
Nominate blogs and notify the nominees.
Post the link of the blog that nominated you.
Share five random facts about yourself.
Five random facts:
1. I started work at 12 after school in a butcher’s shop where my mother’s finger ended up in a pork pie. (The shop was closed soon afterwards…)
2. My dog sometimes lets me sit on the sofa.
3. I don’t have a favourite colour… though I love Indian Yellow paint for how it is made… with the earth upon which a mango-leaf fed camel has urinated… I no longer lick paint brushes…
4. My biggest painting was a mural 70ft long.
5. I stopped trusting knicker-elastic during a can-can…

My nominees, should you choose to accept… and if you do not accept awards, just take it as a ‘thank you’!

I can well imagine! My embarrassing underwear malfunction…? Wearing a Wonderbra at a wedding and in the dance floor, and my much older cousin bending down, and asking what this thing was… Only the removable padding from my bra that had somehow slowly worked its way out of my bra cup, and onto the dance floor, as I’d been dancing! Cue red face!!!!!!

Oh no!!!
I never needed padding… had anything fallen out, it would have been me… 😉

The thing is, I never needed it either… But it was the era of the Wonderbra, and as a teen, I just had to wear one… I think my natural bust battled with the padding to give itself more space lol!!!!!
