Frank gave us some great questions last week and now it’s my turn. As regular readers know, between us we have kept the Fibbing Friday challenge going and thank you all for your support and participation.
Below are 10 questions, the answers to which are entirely up to you. The idea though is to fib a little, a lot, tell whoppers, be inventive, silly or even outrageous, in your response as you evade the truth. Write a post with your answers and tag it “Fibbing Friday” or #FibbingFriday, then link back to this post so that others can enjoy your them and maybe join in too!

Well here we are and it is the last day of February. Time to show and tell our efforts for February 2020.
Here is the blank page ( so to speak).
Here we are halfway through the month.
Above is my finished effort and I am rather proud of it. Leaves, curls and squiggles. I used less colours than usual, my thinking is that less is more.
Welcome to The Three Things Challenge. Di at pensitivity101 gives us three words or things that will hopefully trigger our creativity. Today’s words are MASK SCOUTPen.
The masked ranger was a real pre-madonna. Not many people knew that, it was a well kept secret. Luckily his Indian scout Tonto had broad shoulders and tight lips! Most evenings the Masked Ranger liked nothing better than to sit pen in hand and write love poems! Hi ho Silver and away 😜
Where did yesterday go? I was up at the crack of 5am and on the train by 7.46am. I met Eloise, Marje, Marian and Lance at Victoria Station and then it was off to the venue.
Now I did try and take lots of photos but chatting and meeting with people takes precedense But here are some💜.
I totally failed to get a good picture of Isa , she is sitting at the table in blue top. I was delighted to see her again. It was great to catch up, I wanted a selfie with her but I failed😣 her partner from their blog Jo could not make it. Jo I missed you 💜💜
I really tried to meet everyone but I did not get to speak to these two. I am sorry. If you let me know who you are I will link you in. I am sorry I didn’t get to chat .💜 Just been informed by Lance the young lady is Claire. Just looking for the chap now.
Oh! I have remembered the lovely Simon sorry for the late entry Simon .
I also didn’t get to speak to Ananda Leeks If I missed anyone I am so sorry. Let me know and I will add you 💜
I also didn’t get a photo of of Susanne Tench and her brother. Nor did I get a photo of Jemima Pett
There were others there but I didn’t get photos so if I have left anyone one out please, please forgive me!
I can’t tell you how much it means to me to meet up with my bloggy family. I really love to meet up with old friends and make lots of new friends too. Everyone is happy to chat and so genuine.
If you have never been to a Bash I can really recommend that if you can you do because there is always so much to learn and so many opportunities to network.
We started off with a welcome speech, from Suzie then two awards , followed by the competition presented by Gareth Stevens, and the winner Samantha Smith was at the Bash.
Next Laura had us in stitches. Followed by a few more awards.
Then Jemma told us her story from book devouring teen to published author… absolutely fabulous.
Then lunch, time to relax and chat and mingle, always one of the best parts of the day.
Then it was back in and time for the panel, great questions and great questions.
After the Question and Answers it was Suzie’s Flat Lay presentation
Followed by Geoff doing the final awards, then Sacha closed up .
Time to chat more 💜💜.
So again it was over, months of excitedly looking forward to the ABBA’s planning travel and then poof it’s over and Marian, Eloise and I are quick marching after Lance back to Victoria. We had to step it out because Eloise’s train was due! We said goodbye, Lance made sure Eloise got her train. I saw Marian through to her train, after we had tried to get through a barrier that wasn’t working!
That left me so I found the underground down the escalator Victoria line to Oxford Circus
So where did the day go. But it was great 💜💜 Thank you Committee you produced another winner. To everyone at the bash it was it was wonderful to meet up.
Well the day started well the sun was out and the dog was walked.
Now I knew the M3 was closed for road works but what’s that on the radio? The M4 is shut from Heathrow to the Chiswick roundabout!.
The husband was intent on driving me to the Bash. I told him that maybe it would be easier if I went by train. He was however insistent so we set off early at 8am. After an hour of looping round hubby finally concided that we were not going to make it by car. So I was dropped off at Hatton Cross Tube station we only done 25miles in an hour and a half!
Anyway I got my ticket , and headed on down to platform 2 Picadilly Line to Cockfosters. Rang the hubby told him I was on the tube. Changed at Hammersmith to the district line to Upminster. Then we reach Earls Court and everything grinds to a holt! A delay, what have I done to deserve this.
So finally I arrive at Victoria and it is five minutes past ten. I had Geoff’s directions to hand. Everytime I was unsure of my bearings one of Geoff’s landmarks would crop up.
The photo above is one of Geoff’s.
And so it was at 10.26am I arrived at the Venue.
I was greeted by Ali and Hugh! And the huging began!
Did I say hugs lots of hugs!!
Not mention the cakes, did I mention the cakes, Ritu and Geoff made cakes!!
All delicious!
Then the first set of awards were given out and our first presentation by from Suzie of “Suzie Speaks ” about how to monetize your blog and from Elena ofElena Peters mid life blogger about how to harness and use Pinterest to drive traffic to your blog.
All very informative and interesting but a little scary for me but lots to think about!
Then it was lunch time after which there was a panel discussion with Suzie, Elena and Christoph, we were able to ask lots of questions and get sensible and interesting answers!
Then there were much hilarity from the committee and more awards! Talking of the awards I was sitting next to Supawoman, I mean Ritu, who is now a dear friend and Blogary Sis to me. When it came to the award for the Best overall blogger we did not need drumroll as Lovely Ritu’s heart was beating like a drum!! Well luckily she did win and before her heart burst!!
Well done Ritu you did so well and really deserve the title!
The runner up was–Sue Vincent who’s blog I really love and infact I was so excited we she arrived at the Bash I was straight in with a hug before she had a chance to know who I was, poor lady she must of wandered what was going on!! I was excited about meeting Sue and she is just as Lovely as thought she was.
2nd Place – Chris Graham – Again a wonderful Blogger.
For names of the all the Award Winners go to ABBA Awards.
Then it was time to mix and mingle and in case this myself fall at the feet of my idols… Well I tripped up a step and fell on my face! I hasten to add I had not touched a drop of Alcohol! Infact I was told by the many helpers to drink wine and stay up right. It was so great to chat everyone!
Sadly I did not take enough photos, I was too busy enjoying myself.
For a more comprehensive post with more information and photos go to the lovely Ritu’s post at But I Smile Anyway
To everyone I met I really enjoyed your company, I dare not mention names for fear of missing someone out. I love you all. To Sacha, Hugh, Ali and Geoff you are all the best and so supportive!
Next year the Bash is on 9th June 2018. Also the committee is looking to recruit six new members if you can help contact Sacha.
