A little bit about me....well 25 bits actually!

1) I am me...no more, no less! Like it or not! :)
2) My husband and my two gorgeous boys are the centre of my world.
3) I love my family more than anything and know that I can always count on them no matter what.
4) I know that I am very lucky and should really count my blessings and be thankful for what I have.
5) I am happy that my family are all currently healthy and I now know that that matters more than anything else in the world!
6) I love spending girly time with my best friends...and we don't even need a drink to have a fab time, but it helps!! :)
7) I am very proud of my oldest son (Peter) and the lovely person that he is becoming! He is a smart, funny, caring boy and is growing up so fast!
8) I am equally proud of my youngest son (James) He has his own character and sense of humour and I know that he will be a lovely person too!
9) Outside of my family and friends the most influential person in my life was my primary school headmaster Mr Johnson - when I was about 7/8 he told me that I could do anything I wanted to if I believed in myself and tried my best - he was right!!
10) Even though she has been gone for a long time I still miss my Nana Jess every single day.
11) I cry at the stupidest things! When I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I'm stressed even when I remember being happy, sad or stressed!!
12) If I had unlimited funds, after I had cleared off any debts for myself and my family, had a big holiday, new house, new car - I really don't think I would change a thing.
13) I have found myself to be getting a lot more religious as I get older. When things are getting to me I actively prey - I don't know if it helps or not but it gives me comfort at the time. One of the best things I have ever done FOR ME is converting to become Catholic. However un-trendy and 'happy-clappy' that seems, it is my thing!! Although, I may have started to do it for different reasons, over the last year I have found that the reason doesn't matter at all, I have found my faith and believe in it whole-heartedly!! I really enjoy going to church and to my weekly classes. I am looking forward to learning more and to being Confirmed at Easter! :)
14) I am fascinated by trivial facts on a huge range of subjects that I usually have very little use for but I do come in quite handy at quizzes!!
15) Academically, I am pretty average at best, I don't really excel at anything but I think I could if I pushed myself and wasn't quite so lazy!
16) I am absolutely completely and utterly rubbish at maths (Peters homework is starting to scare me a bit now!) . However, I am pretty ok at spelling and grammar!
17) As a child and young adult I was VERY shy, most people who know me now don't always really believe me but I have spent years perfecting my outgoing persona, if I try really hard I can even convince myself
18) l would be more comfortable on stage giving a speech to a thousand people than I am in a one to one situation...I always vomit before interviews
19) I know that it is pathetic as a fully grown adult but I REALLY hate vegetables in most forms and cannot force myself to eat them - I am very healthy and have had 2 healthy children so I'm still doing something right!!
20) I am really quite scared of fish and slugs, other bugs and animals don't bother me at all and I have absolutely no idea why they do!!
21) I love reading and wish I could make time to do more!
22) The most important lesson that I have ever learned is: Never be to proud to ask for help when you need it! I only learned this quite recently and it is so true - a problem shared really is a problem halved, things are hardly ever as bad as they seem.
23) I have no really strong feelings, aspirations or passions about anything in particular....If I had more courage and wasn't quite so lazy then maybe I would.
24) I truly am the WORST dancer that you've ever met - but what I lack in rhythm I make up for with enthusiasm!
25) Even though I try not to be worried by what people think, really I sometimes crave acceptance. I am a different person in my head to the one who looks back at me in the mirror!




Well, I think that is enough crap for one day!  I suppose I better start by thinking of slightly more interesting stuff to write about! :)


TTFN! :)

First post! :)

OK, well, where do I start??

So, I've decided to do a blog...purely out of boredom rather than any burning desire to get my point of view out there or to make any political/cultural/ethical statement! Plus, everyone else is doing one and I do hate to miss out on a trend!

I won't even try to pretend that this will be in the least bit amusing, entertaining or even that worthwhile, in fact, it could possibly become the complete opposite and full of random crap, mundane, ridiculous, ranting, moaning, musings and trains of thought going off on a tangent here, there and everywhere with perhaps a little sprinkling of sunshine as and when!

And there we have it....a beginning!! Enjoy! :)
