I've been tagged by Tami over at Mummmy Of Two in the 'Blog Your Heart Out' meme. It's quite a sweet post and one that I've enjoyed reading on other blogs. So here's me....
Question 1. Who/What encouraged you to start blogging?
I have had blogs before, I've been using the internet a long time, but none like this though! I started The Brick Castle because I was reviewing toys and games for IzziwizziKids and Playfest and needed somewhere to store my reviews. I'd considered it for a while and it was the push I needed really.
Question 2. How did you choose what topic to blog about?
The Brick Castle was always going to be about play and entertaining my lot, because I had toy reviews to add to it from the start. I wrote my 'about me' and I've never changed it. I didn't forsee how much cooking I'd be blogging....
Question 3. What is something most people don’t know about you?
At 15 I started my first proper job as a Copy Telephonist at a Press Agency. I worked Sundays for £12.50 and I read out news copy over the phone. I was made redundant 2 years later with the introduction of the Fax Machine.
Question 4. What three words describe your style?
Casual....erm.....lazy.....comfortable.
Question 5. What do you love to do when you are not blogging?
When I'm not blogging I'm usually cooking or in some other way catering to other people's needs, so I love to have genuine time off. A bath, a trip out, knowing I'm not cooking tea or watching a movie in bed with the laptop off.
That's me, and I'm tagging -

i dont think you are lazy.Your style is truthful, motherly and helpful.
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you Eileen, that's a lovely thing to say :D
DeleteI don't think your style is lazy either, I would say confident, chatty and entertaining.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, shucks, cheers Pippa. I think sometimes I spend far too long on social media instead of writing :D
DeleteHa. I know I do!
DeleteI love your style and your humour, I can always rely on you to make me chuckle. you say it how it is. Plus you're lovely. I remember you wrote something really encouraging to me about my application video for Izziwizzi, it's always stuck with me.
ReplyDeleteMary, my turn to have a lump in my throat. Thank you - this wasn't really the response I expected to this post! :D x
DeleteWhat a lovely way to get to know a bit more about you :) I definitely wouldn't say your style is lazy though. x
ReplyDeleteHahaha....okay, I'll have to take that back. I think at the time I'd done hardly anything all day and then did this post instead of editing yet more photo's which I knew I should be doing, so I felt lazy at the time! :D x
DeleteI love this. My dad used to write articles for the TMX (Trials Motocross News no less) and I had to phone them every Monday afternoon and read the articles to a copy writer (before the days of everything but the phone!).
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure anyone who blogs can be described as lazy!
Yeeay! Someone who remembers the olden days! I thought it was just going to be me! :D
DeleteGlad you enjoyed writing your post and it is lovely getting to know a bit more about you :D
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, and thank you. Thanks for nominating me :)
