Diary of a Girl Abroad.

Jane from Me 'n my Monkeys that is; she very kindly nominated me for a Stylish blogger award, yay!

I suddenly don't feel so bad about writing this in sweat pants...

There's a few conditions to receiving the prize:

I must link back to the person who gave it me and thank them... oh do I HAVE to??? Ha... thanks so much Jane. Now everyone go and check out Me 'n my Monkeys!

I have to also share 7 things about myself, so here goes, ummm...

1. I am not a natural blonde. But who is?? Actually a few people I know, so scrap that last comment.

2. I can hold a tune and used to sing in a band. It really wasn't my calling, but at least I gave it a go. Occasionally I can still be heard serenading my boyfriend, which after awhile, usually results in him wincing and asking me to please stop.

3. I like cold Christmases better than hot ones... and I'm Australian! Blasphemy. I just can't help but feel more Christmassy when I need to put a coat on while shopping for gifts. And I usually hate the cold, there is simply no excuse for it... except at Christmas.

4. I can never make up my mind. I have serious issues with indecision. A fine message for my gravestone would be "Here lies her who should have picked the blue one." Now there's a happy thought.

5. I hate missing out on things. I'll often decide not to go to a dinner, party, or other similar event that my friends are going to because I'm exhausted and in serious need of rest, but then when they're all cooing about their fab night the next day I'll kick myself. I think this is related to that indecision thing.

6. I count on my fingers. I never learned to do fast sums any other way and it's highly embarrassing in public situations. Can you just work out the bill and tell me what I owe?

7. I am a total workaholic during the week, but on weekends I panic and go catatonic when someone asks me to work.

I then have to pay the kindness forward to fifteen other amazing bloggers and also let them know. My pleasure. So here goes, in no particular order:

1. Cupcakes, Frocks and Pink

2. Scenic Glory

3. Kandeeland

4. Cupcakes and Cashmere

5. Bright Wishes

6. Mummahh

7. Passports and Prada

8. Under Lock and Key

9. Red-soled Fashionista

10. Snappy Q

11. Dutchess Roz

12. Beautiful You
