tag!

source


My lovely friend Lou of  Little Green Shed has 'tagged' me on her blog (I think an attempt to prod me back into blogging action, seeing as I've been so slack of late!)

The Rules..
1. Post these rules
2. Post 11 things about yourself
3. Answer the questions provided by the one who tagged you
4. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag
5. Go to their blog and tell them they've been tagged

Randomness... (why is it my brain is usually as random as can be, but can never deliberately think of random things, here goes..)

* I sleep on the right side of the bed
* My favourite veg is broccoli
* I have no siblings or cousins
* I suffer with hay fever
* Pearl's middle name is Jolene, after the Dolly song
* I can't wait until season 5 of Mad Men starts. I may die of excitement
* I'm 32 years old
* I love to sing- normally when I'm on my own in the car. I had singing lessons in my youth and used perform in front of big audiences. I wish I had still had the same courage
* I've never been a bridesmaid
* I'd never held a baby before I had Flora
* I adore things that are sweet and salty at the same time, like digestive biscuits, New York cheesecake, Reece's cups and those sweets shaped like peanuts.

Questions Lou asked me...

1. What is your favourite thing to eat for Breakfast?
I'm quite naughty and only have fresh coffee for breakfast. Couldn't live without my morning fix!
2. What was your playground skill as a child?
I was a bit of a loner as a child and preferred my own company. I could just about skip on the long rope, but I never had any special 'skills'. In fact I was generally pretty terrible at any physical activity, ha!
3. The name of your first pet?
Two funky guinea pigs called Sprocket & Sylvester. 
4. If you were a tree, which tree would it be?
A good old bramley apple tree. Traditional, reliable and just a little bit sour.
5. What is your life long dream?
Probably boring, but really I just want to see my girls grow up happy.
6. If you could compete in the Olympics, what would be your sport?
Given my current Body Pump addiction, I'd have to say weight lifting!
7. What is your biggest achievement to date?
I'm really proud of the way I've perfected juggling having a happy family and a successful full time career, it's not easy getting the balance!
8. What is your favourite thing to do on a Saturday morning?
I do Body Pump 9am every Saturday- told you I was obsessed!
9. How big are your feet?
Size 8!! I don't know how this happened, I'm not that tall (5ft6) and my hands are tiny, so they are completely out of proportion.
10. What is the one thing you hate doing the most?
Supermarket shopping.
11. If you could kiss anyone, who would it be?
My husband, of course. But if I was pushed, I suppose I could just about cope with a snog from Ryan Gosling. Preferably bearded a la Blue Valentine. 


Who to tag?

I'm going to tag What About Pie, Wandering Starrs, Faith Hope & Charity Shopping, A Bushel & A Peck and Diary of an Unremarkable Woman
