Well friends & fellow bloggers, the decision has finally been made *insert big sigh of relief for all concerned*
With lots of to’ing & fro’ing by myself & hubby with the logistics of it all (who will look after the kids, times of trains, where to stay etc) as well as the usual anxieties of my brain (which looks like *aaaggghhhh mush* regarding the huge unknown).
I have been hugely blessed by the lovely Aby of You Mummy Baby Me (& finalist of the BIB’s 2015 Family category). We have been private messaging each other & this lovely girl has reached her hand out to me & said “come with us!”.
Lord knows that sometimes, just a simple gesture of kindness is all someone needs to make that leap of faith into the unknown.
So in the spirit of meeting lots of bloggers here is the suggested q&a to let you know who I am & how you can recognise me:
Name Lizzie May Roles
Blog Lizzie Somerset
Twitter ID @lizzie_roles
Height 4ft 11in
Hair Ombre dark on top, blonde below
Eyes Dark Brown
Is this your first blogging conference? Yes (eek)
Are you attending both days? Yes
What are you most looking forward to at BritMums Live 2015? The BIB Awards Ceremony, wearing a posh frock, meeting lovely inspirational people.
What are you wearing? Possibly TopShop Petite top to toe, & m&s underwear (tmi?)
What do you hope to gain from BritMums Live 2015? Lots of lovely friends, acquaintances & a greater sense of direction with my blog future & lots of inspiration!
Do you have any tips to pass on to others who may not have been before? Feel the fear & do it anyway xo
Only 3 weeks to go! Lots to think about, put into place & time to generally run around like a headless chicken! I’m so looking forward to meeting you all.
Lizzie XO
I’m so glad you’re going – I look forward to meeting you there! x
I can’t believe it took me so long to make the decision, the anxiety is melting away now I know there will be so many friendly faces xo
Blimey 3 weeks, I need to get reading all of these Britmums posts. Slightly behind this year.
If you see me come and say hi. I think you’re definitely right on the ‘have no fear and do it anyway’. So many people worry, and you just need to get back on.
I have only just booked so I think I’m the one who’s behind! I will defo say & promise you’ll do the same? I’m slightly scatty in crowds. Can’t wait though! XO
So glad you’re joining us, Lizzie!
This year I’m one of the Butterflies whose job it is to welcome new and returning attendees so no need to worry at all – I give out hugs on tap!
Looking forward to seeing your posh frock!
Ceri 🙂

Hugs are always welcome, please look out for tears just below the surface! Ha, I’m sure I’ll be fine I think I did all my worrying last week. I don’t have a posh frock, yet! But any clues as to dress code would be great so I don’t look like silly in a ball gown or something. HEHE. Looking forward to meeting you! xo
Eeek! I have only just seen this! How exciting! Can’t wait to mee you, mwahhh xx
Hun you were instrumental in my decision, thank you so much for your kindness. Can’t wait now, nerves have melted away to excitement xo
I’m not sure if ball gowns are the order of the day but why the heck not if you want to?? I’m going to wear a nice dress for sure! Any excuse to get all dolled up. Ceri xxx P.S. Tears are NOT allowed! And I very much doubt you’ll be shedding any – BritMums is a very friendly place to be! 🙂 xxx
Hope to see you there. It’s a great couple of days, albeit very busy!
I actually can’t wait to see everyone all dolled up. Doesn’t happen very often for us Mum’s does it. Ok, no tears, own it like a boss 😉 xo
Thanks John! I’m really looking forward to it, hope to see you there! XO
Oh I’m so glad Aby reached out that friendly hand and encouraged you to come! It will be so much fun, just you wait 🙂
Me too Amanda, I can’t wait now! Are you going to be there? xo
So glad you’re coming and it’s great to turn up with a group of friends to pal around with.
Thanks Jennifer! I am getting really excited now xo
