OK so I'm slightly cheating here by editing a previous post; I do really really apologise, but I'm just SO pushed for time - as always!
Working mums please ignore that last comment, I don't know how you do it ;)
I've come across the Britmums Live Meet & Greet over at mummys shoes' lovely blog, so I really wanted to join in after reading lots of other posts and getting excited all over again....
Name: Steph
Blog: www.stephstwogirls.co.uk
Twitter ID: @stephstwogirls
Height: 5ft 5 and the very important half
Hair: well. originally dark brown, now mostly grey but I'm hiding it well. Was in a lovely graduated short 'bob' (or Kate for those BlackAdder fans out there) but am having mid-life crisis (as about to turn 40 in June) so decided to try and grow it for the last time.... we'll see if it lasts til Britmums Live!
Eyes: Hazel - green and brown (like chocolate)
Likes: In no particular order (although the last IS actually first...): sun, having fun (preferably Fun in the Sun - does that remind anyone else of GMTV??!), my family, baking and decorating cupcakes, i-gadgets, shopping, Southern Comfort, musicals and Boy Bands.
Dislikes: conflict, being stressed, marmite.
Random Fact: I lived on an oil tanker for 6 months when I was 8-9 years old! It was in fact the 11th biggest oil tanker in the world back then.
As I said, I'm so excited about going to the Britmums Live Blogging Conference, and thankfully A Boy with Aspergers has started off “The ultimate Britmums Live Meme and Linky 2012″ to get everyone involved.

A: Bloggers Studio for sure.

A: Yes I am to be honest, as there'll be just so many people there but I'm hoping to find anyone to have a laugh or a hug with!
Q: What are you most likely to be found doing while attending Britmums Live?
A: Checking Facebook and emails on my phone if I haven't found anyone to talk to, or else sending updates and pics back to the Get Bloggers to Dublin brigade!
I can't really do the tagging thing as I only know of a couple of others going, who have been tagged already, so instead I'll just tweet the linky and look forward to reading the other answers!
If you'd like to join in though, here are the rules:
See you in June (I'll be 40 then!!)

Have a great time at Britmums; the speakers look great. Look forward to hearing how you get on. Unfortunately I can't make it; there's a number of family birthdays at the same time. Deb x
ReplyDeleteAh, really sorry you won't be there Deb, you would have been top of my list of people to try and meet. Maybe another time? x
Delete"See you in June (I'll be 40 then!!)"
ReplyDeleteOh bugger, so will I!! How did that happen? We were 21 last week!!

DeleteYour excitement is bursting through in this post! I hope you have an amazing time and I can't wait for your report - lots of pics please!
