{Listography - Mugs}

I'm joining up this week with Kate Takes 5 for her Listography blog hop. I've only participated once before, but I saw a few people talking on Twitter about this week's topic and I thought I'd join in as it sounded right up my street as I was sure I had quite a few interesting mugs. How wrong was I - my mug collection is so dull!!

My favourite mug that I bought for myself in London a few years ago. And yes, it's true - I absolutely love spreadsheets!!

'Fabulous Pharmacist' mug

My mum bought me some mugs for me when I was a teenager (for my having friends over for coffee - I'm sure I was 16 or 17 at the time and still living at home, so I would have just used the mugs that were already in the house, but anyway...!). This is the only one that is left - I wish I had looked after them better.

This mug is massive, and it was a bargain from Country Baskets a wee while ago!

A perfect, classic white Denby mug... This was part of our wedding gift list and it reminds me of my perfect wedding day.

Seeing how my collection is totally boring... I thought I'd share a couple of mugs that I wish I owned:

If I do say so myself! {image source}

I bought these mugs for my friend Becky and do love them! {image source}

Yes, indeed I would!! {image source}

Someone at my work has this mug and I think it's rather amusing (people with PhD's are rather sad!!) {image source}

{Listography - Top 5 Random Likes}

Kate on Thin Ice suggested we take part in Kate Takes 5 Listography this week as one of her #groovingmums challenges.  I LOVE lists!!! The topic this week is the "Top 5 Random Things I Like"...

So, here goes...

1. Pick n' mix sweets, preferably fizzy sour ones (I would go as far as saying that I was addicted to these about 8/9 years ago)

(BTW it's taken me nearly 30 minutes to think of item #1 so goodness knows when I'll finish this post!!!)


2. Completing forms (just like The Mother Experiment)... when I was little I'd get forms from the Post Office, or where-ever I could get my hands on them, and take them home to complete in my neatest handwriting. Sad, I know!

3. Paper... Coloured, patterned, plain, glittery... I'm very much into crafts and I have a few box files of various bits and pieces of paper (although sometimes I like them too much to cut them up & use them!). At my primary school there were two class visits one year.  I was very jealous of my friends who went to the paper factory.... where did I go I hear you ask... the fish factory!!

(Starting to really struggle to think of more things now...)

4. Being snuggled up in a sleeping bag (doesn't necessarily need to be in a tent!!)... For a while my boyfriend (now hubby!) knew never to call me on a certain evening (think it was a Wednesday) between the hours of 9 and 10pm because I'd be tucked up in my sleeping bag lying on my living room floor watching Sex & The City and munching on a big bag of pick n' mix!!!

5. Movies and books that make me cry.

Done...phew! That was way more difficult than I thought it was going to be!!
