THE LIST #50 (& MY SUMMER)

TODAY I’m co-hosting The List with my good friend Aby for one week only. Stepping in for my buddy Hannah who normally co-hosts as she’s currently on holiday, sunning herself, taking a well deserved break and drinking a Pina Colada or something. (Hopefully.) The idea behind the list is really simple. Blogger pals – all you need to do is link up any post that is in a list format –

MY TOP TEN TECHIE THINGS FOR SUMMER

IT’S official, it is Summer time! (Even though the great British weather may not agree.)

FEELING LIKE A LOSER (BUT BEIND OK WITH IT)

  I FELT liked I’d been punched in the stomach on Friday. For about five or ten minutes, I felt short of breath and just absolutely gutted. Because I couldn’t spot my blog name you see. I couldn’t spot Pouting In Heels on a list of blogs that had made the finals for a major blogging award. And I couldn’t spot Pouting In Heels because I hadn’t made it. Boo blinkin’

Because truly knowing who you are and remaining tuned into your instinct is important, is it not? “Ignore it at your peril!” (As a psychic medium told me last year.) Oh ‘eck!
