A huge thank you to the wonderful Nicola at Doubtful Mum who has nominated PODcast for a Liebster Award. It’s the best feeling being nominated for an award so I’m super chuffed! You can read Nicola’s fabulous post here.
A Liebster Award is a way of saying I really like your blog, in turn extending the blog love to fellow bloggers.
Nicola asked 10 questions which have been answered below. I’ve then nominated 10 bloggers to answer my questions.
So to answer Nicola’s questions….
1. What’s your biggest achievement so far?
Definitely creating this amazing human bean with Daddy. Amazing to think she’ll be three on Christmas Day.
2. What’s your biggest regret?
Not having children earlier in life, I would have loved for POD to have a brother or sister. We’re an awesome threesome though.
3. What one word describes you best?
Proactive. I’m not one for waiting for things to come to me, more of a you want it you go get it type. I started my working life as a receptionist and co-founded a sales and marketing consultancy last year. Achieving a better balance is definitely the driver now.
4. What is your biggest weakness?
Taking on too much! I’m not very good at saying no but I’m not one for letting people down either. I just do more.
5. What do you want to be remembered for?
Ensuring POD is a well-rounded individual and doing the best I can as a parent. In a professional capacity, I’d like to have achieved something incredible.
6. What is your favourite possession?
Everything in my camera case! Photography is my passion and I rarely go anywhere without my camera. I invested in an SLR the year POD was born and it was the best decision I ever made. Wish I’d done it years ago!
7. Your biggest fear?
Jellyfish! That’s all jellyfish even the see-through harmless ones, they terrify me! I have made a jellyfish costume for a dress as your biggest fear party though. It was a pretty special creation!
8. Why do you blog?
It’s a creative outlet for my photography and I find writing a blog hugely rewarding too. I love that one day POD will get to read all about our adventures.
9. Which person do you admire the most?
Richard Branson. I worked at Virgin in the late Eighties, Virgin Records existed at that time and Virgin Atlantic had recently launched. Richard Branson is a hugely driven individual with an entrepreneurial spirit that’s infectious. He’s also the only person that’s ever thrown me in a swimming pool when I was fully clothed. And the sea!
10. What is your worst habit?
Allowing a bottle of savvy to jump into my shopping basket!

Thank you for nominating my my lovely, i will get my answers ready for a week on monday when i am back blogging again 🙂
You’re very welcome Jaime. Whenever you fancy, no rush 🙂
Thankyou so much. Will get onto this next week xxx
Pleasure Afra, look forward to reading your post 🙂
Thank you so much Charly! 🙂 I can definitely relate to your answer in number 2! I’ve been wanting to get pregnant, but it’s not easy when you turn 40. I know people say that’s not that old, but it isn’t easy. But goodness, we are struggling right now with the little pup, what more with another baby? xx
No worries at all Dean! It’s annoying the age thing isn’t it although I had POD at 40. I’m sure you’ll get used to having that gorgeous pup around 🙂
That’s actually a really insightful set of answers – I had no idea you were (ahem) 40ish.
*adds to the list of bloggers who don’t make me feel ancient*
I might be 43 *chokes* but I’m still young at heart and silly. Just think we can have chats about how great the Eighties were now 🙂
They’ll be short chats! 😀
Thank you so much my lovely :)) It’s always lovely to be nominated for an award, but it is even more so when the person nominating is someone you really admire. So thank you so much x
I love your ‘go get ’em’ attitude – and how come Richard Branson chucked you in a pool??!! xx
That’s so kind of you, thank you so much. Will pick you again LOL! Can’t remember why I was chucked in the pool or the sea, I think because I was near him!
