Chocolate, breakfast of champions!
I’m going to BlogOnMosi too. It’s very exciting, isn’t it?
Exciting and daunting at the same time, really looking forward to it 🙂
You’ll love BlogOn, it’s a great conference
Looking forward to it, see you there 🙂
They are a great set of wishes. I think Marilyn Monroe would be a fabulous dinner guest – just think of all the gossip she could spill! Hawaii is on my list too, I am fascinated by volcanoes!
Thanks, she would certainly be able to clear up any conspiracy theories 🙂
Don’t be shy – everyone is in the same boat really – just go up and introduce yourself and say hiya. Don’t be bothered if people haven’t heard of your blog – there are millions out there, and likewise, don’t feel bad if you don’t know them either!
Great advice, looking forward to finding some new bloggers to follow 🙂
This is my 3rd time attending, but it feels like my first still, Im so awkward at all things social. But its a fab day
I think everyone feels the same, hope to see you there 🙂
Ha, those are my favourite wishes so far! Not sure what to write for mine now, no way can I put it so perfectly! It’s my first time too – look forward to meeting you and being nervous together! x
Thanks lovely, see you there 🙂
I chose Marilyn Monroe too! Blog On MSI is a really good conference. See you on Sunday.
Great minds think alike 🙂 see you there x
