Your questions answered!

Twitter is a bloody brilliant thang. Not only can I chuckle at various celeb tweets after one too many champagnes. I can also follow marvellous Mum's who too are up at all hours and armed with support, advice and an abundance of assurance. I'm not the only one rubbing my eyes at 4am!

One of those fab mum's tagged me on Twitter. I wasn't even sure what the hell 'tagging' meant. Did I have to chase them like a playground stunt? Well, Emma in Bromley, I'm playing the game. Not only did you inspire me to tenderly caress my blog, after ignoring it for some time. But you've given me 11 questions to answer.

Emma's questions answered:

1. How long have you blogged for?
Since Boxing Day in 2010. Armed with a brand-spanking new laptop (thank you Christmas). I was three months pregnant and wanted to share my happiness, frustrations and experience. And my love for biscuits. I took a break before the ultimate birth and the first seven months of motherhood though. I explain more in Forgive the absence... it's been a bumpy ride.

2. If I held a blogging event, would you come?
Does this involve an obstacle course of laptops and iPhones?

3. Do you pinterest?
I can't say I do. It has the word 'pint' in though, so it can't be bad.

4. What's missing from your kitchen?
Apart from my husband (he was a good chef), it's got to be a wine rack. I've always wanted one of those  built-in beauties. I only have a wine cellar at the mo *dreams*.

5. What theme are you doing for your child's party this year?
My son will be ONE YEAR OLD!! *Jumps and claps like an over-excited school girl*. I really haven't thought about a theme, but the biggest event of the year will be in July. I'm sure he'll be more interested in the wrapping paper than the pressies.

6. Have you given anything up for lent?
I'm not drinking as it is, so a girl's gotta have some pleasures.

7. Have you thought of an invention?
How about a robot who rocks babies to sleep and is programmed to do night feeds?!

8. If you were to have an actual hour to yourself - what would you do (no housework allowed!!)
A whole hour??! Bliss. I would shut myself away with the latest Parenting and gossip mags, have E! Entertainment on the box, eat a McChicken Sandwich meal, accompanies with a milkshake (sad but true) and probably end up kipping.

9. What was the last book you read?
Maisy's Bedtime. I read it to my son tonight. I bought The Power recently (for myself. Not sure my son would be fussed), but I haven't had time to open the damn thing. Right now, I'm in a darkened room with my laptop as my light, as my son sleeps on the other side of the room. Not ideal.

10. If your 2-year-old was imagining monsters, what would you do?
A toughie! I would ask about the monsters. What did they look like? When did they come out? Do they have names? I would listen. I'd give him his favourite toy and tell him that he/she would protect him and shield him from the scary fools. I would also assure him that I'm nearby and will scare any monster away. Rrraaaaaahhhh! I'm one scary mother.

11. Do you believe in aliens, ghosts or vampires?
Aliens - no. Ghosts - yes. Vampires - no. Why ghosts? I believe that some people are in limbo before their soul can rest.

Thanks Emma. Cool questions. Am I meant to create some? I do take requests ;-). Just let me know.
