25 Tidbits About Me

I've seen these floating around. Thought I could give it a go. Give you readers a little inside to me...

1. My favourite colours are red and yellow, but I always seem to enjoy dressing in blue...

2. I have never been abroad. The furthest I've been is Cornwall, and I haven't had a proper holiday for 10 years. That needs to change!

3. I love kitty cats. My first was called Wellington Boots or Welly for short. Absolutely crazy! The second one, was meant to be a family cat. Tilly. It was more like she adopted me alone. I miss her so much!! She was stolen off me and I couldn't get her back. I miss my furbaby.

4. I grew up on tea apparently. Found that out recently. Blocked it out obviously when I went through a phase of disliking it. Now, I seem to be getting into it again. Not just fruit teas, but if I have a cuppa tea, it's gotta be PG Tips!

5. I've been collecting books since I was 16. I have 2 bookcases full and even that's overloaded. It's my dream to have a library room of my own. One day it will happen! P has been warned...

6. I had ringlets growing up, but now after years of straightening, I've lost them and find it hard to keep curls when I actually curl my hair.

7. I have no fashion sense for my own body. I still try.

8. I dislike time-wasters and hypocrites. I know too many.

9. I lost my Dad 20 days after my 16th birthday. Will be ten years this coming January. The loss doesn't go away. All the wedding plans get me so emotional when I stop and think about him.

10. My Great-Grandfather was French so I've always wanted to find out about that side of the family but hit a brick wall each time. My Great-Grandmothers ancestors are from Ireland. And I found out Kevin Keegan is either my Nan's cousin or my Great-Grandmother's. My Grandfather's side? All from Lancashire through and through. No wonder my accent comes out real strong when it wants to.

11. I know the offside rule in football/soccer. And I can describe it. Not many girls know that. Thank you Nan! Really impresses P.

12. I love baking and cooking, but if I do it too many days in a row, it starts getting irritating. I'm going to be practising baking wedding cakes soon. Just hope people don't bug me to make them their own.

13. I'm a massive superhero fan. DC, Marvel... all of them. My all-time favourite? Superman. I did a project on superheroes and villains for college once. Superman was the main project.

14. My skin has developed a very weird dislike of water. I can't even do the washing up with gloves on without it still affecting my skin.

15. I've been putting off starting a family since I was 18/19. Yep, I had one of them kind of family members who kept hinting to do so. Hopefully, next year!!

16. I am from a big family, but thanks to circumstances, I've found out who truly classes me as family. I'm actually a black sheep! So now, I tend to just think I have a small family. I absolutely love and adore P's family!

17. I enjoy watching P play field hockey. Go Aardvarks! I'd love to be a mascot... however, I cannot for the life of me find a costume. Seems like that's a mission for me! They do try recruiting me, but I wasn't that good in high school, and I won't be now. 

18. I'm a complete novice at make-up. I did go through a phase where I wore it, but then I spent a couple of years without it. Now, I'm struggling to find what works for me.

19. My favourite TV shows are Supernatural and Glee. There's a few more trying to worm their way into my list. Like The Vampire Diaries! I'm so grateful D is letting me use his Netflix through my Wii. Currently on Season 3, and I'm trying to watch Season 4 before the new season starts.

20. I have no clue what I want to do with my life job/career-wise. I've always wanted a calm life, and I've got it. A bit too calm sometimes. 

21. I love lists. Very weird of me, but it helps me. With hypothyroidism, it's extremely easy to forget things so lists certainly help. I even look for printable organisation sheets. 

22. I hate feet. Hate them. Don't like them anywhere near me. Hate people touching my feet, in fact just the thought of it makes me feel disgusted! If someone tried putting their foot near my face? Death warrant, I tell you! Haha!

23. I've gave up alcohol. It's never interested me. Now and then, I cave in to social drinking, but at home. I recently tried the alcohol-free Kopparberg. What a waste of money! Wasn't anything special, and I could have saved money by getting dilute and lemonade. I would like to try mocktails, however! Any suggestions?

24. I love having my hair stroked and played with. You can imagine what I'm like at the hairdressers, right? It's like heaven for me! I'm sure I bug P when I constantly ask him to play with my hair or stroke the back of my neck. When I'm having a snuggle with J-L and he starts playing with my hair, I go so quiet!

25. I wish I had more dresses. They make me feel so girly, but I tend to just grab my jeans and just go with that. I miss my girly side! I started reading blogs to inspire me to make that little effort. It's slowly getting there. I've started building up my make-up brushes so I'm ready to get going. I will get there again!


Believe me, there's a whole lot more to me, but I guess you'll have to find out along the way... :)
