Find some stuff out about me!

 *                       *                       *                       *                       *                       *                       *
Here are some questions sent to me by another blogger:

1. Where in the world is your favourite holiday destination? Of the places I’ve been, the place I loved the most was Hoi Ann in Vietnam. But I like to go to different places rather than one place repeatedly.
In Hoi Ann

2. What was your favourite subject at school? Art but I didn’t study it because I didn’t like our art dept.

3. What would be the first thing you did if you won the Lottery? Go on holiday! To India. 

4. Who would you want to be marooned on a desert island with? My husband and children of course! Is that pathetic?!

5. What would be your ideal date night? Emlyn, shiraz, pizza, chocolate, dvd, doings.

6. Full English or Continental? Bit of both, I like Eggs, cheese, tomatoes and olives ideally. I am not being a ponce here tho, this was just a perfect combo I discovered from an all inclusive holiday in Cyprus!

7. What talent do you wish you had? To be able to act.

8. Which are your favourite pair of shoes? My battered fit flops in the summer and comfy boots in the winter.

The Sardinian sea we snorkelled in everyday on honeymoon.
9. What’s your best memory? Being drunk in a field in Glastonbury as a teenager, without a care in the world. Or on my honeymoon snorkelling with my husband in the med. Or tucking my son up into bed when he was little and just learning to talk and him asking for his “nummy” (dummy). It made my heart burst. All of those things!


10. Summer or Winter? Normally summer but as I LOVE Christmas, it’s going to have to be Winter.

11. Who do you think is the most famous person in the world? This is an unusual question! I don’t know, it’s probably somebody rubbish like David Beckham!

My 11 Random Facts:

I’m a dragon in the Chinese Horoscope. Dragons are supposedly lucky (I think I am a lucky person), make great leaders (YES!) and are full of shit apparently. Er…..

I used to be obsessed with the Foo Fighters from the years 1995 – 2003. SO much so that in my head, I was married to Dave Grohl for all that time. Hence my email address.

I lived in Melbourne, Australia for a year.

I am great at doing regional accents but have no ability to act, rendering this the most pointless talent in the history of talents.

I’m quite a good swimmer despite being really fat.

I can sing (in tune).

I’ve got a degree in Fine Art and Art History but I work in Finance.

Me in said outfit on my 18th, loving the attention!
My 18th Birthday outfit was made by Tom Jones’s cousin from Pontypridd.

Eight years ago I was 8 stone lighter than I am today.

I used to have one of my nipple’s pierced. (is that TMI? I’m not very good at not sharing!)

I have a weird obsession with Flageolet beans, ever since I had them in a little steak house in France as a kid. I eat them cold from the tin.
Delicious beeeeeeans!

Drugs Saved My Marriage

The internet is a wonderful way to present a heavily edited version of yourself to the world. Online I try to be funny and ranty and entertaining but if you know the real me, you’ll know that recently the ranty has been more prevalent than the funny. I have also had periods of depression and anxiety. Not just anxiousness about something tangible, like a driving test or 10 (ahem, sore point!). The anxiousness i have experience is known as free-floating anxiety. It permeates everything and leaves me paralysed with fear for NO reason, rendering me incapable of concentrating or functioning other than on a very basic level. Thankfully I haven’t experienced too much that since Gus was about 15 months bar a few wobbly days.  I am always aware, however, that it has the capacity to come back at any given moment if things start to overwhelm me emotionally.So, say for example, if I was in a permanent state of anger for NO reason at NOTHING and then as a result I was constantly explodin...

Stop telling me I am lucky to have my husband!

I am so tired of being told how grateful I should be for my husband. I hear it all the time. Even my own Grandmother has said it to me. So what is allegedly so special about my husband? 1. My husband cooks. He will cook every night unless I want to cook something. 2. He cooked every night of both my pregnancies because I couldn’t stand the smell of ANYTHING. He also did all the washing up because it grossed me out and the washing cos I was knackered. He did virtually everything around the house. 3. He does most of the clothes washing. 4. He does the bins and the litter tray with little or no reminder. 5. He vacuums when it needs doing and not because I’ve asked. 6. He gets up with the kids every school day and gives them breakfast and gets one or both of them dressed. 7. He loves spending time with the kids and spends hours playing with them both. 8. He drives us everywhere. 9. He’s more than happy to stay in pretty much every night of the week and let me, if I ...

I'm Too Lazy To Be a Mum!

I’m not being funny, but I seriously think I am too lazy to be a mum. I don’t think I ever expected it to be so….  relentless . Like, it is literally non-stop, high alert from the minute your eyes ping open til the minute they are allowed to droop back down into blissful rest. Why didn’t someone WARN me? I didn’t sign up for this! I signed up for a few early mornings, sure! I knew the first few MONTHS might be a bit tiring….what with all that feeding through the night rubbish but then they sleep through and it’s totally fine, right? Oh yeah there might be a few nights when they’re ill….but like, how ill can a kid be? And if they’re ill….that means they sleep MORE right? But actually it’s a bit harder than that. It’s LOADS harder. SO firstly they don’t sleep. Well, not in the way you THINK they should. Looking back at my first child, sleeping and feeding in 3 hour cycles…. I used to think I was unlucky because he wasn’t sleeping through at 6 weeks! But he kept th...
