I was very kindly awarded this award by Rebecca at Here come the girls
The idea is to list 7 things about myself and then to pass the award onto 15 other new blogs out there.
So i'll get started
1. When i first met my other half i thought he looked awful. I didnt know what to make of this strange young lad sitting next to me and (its true) i did actually think as a joke to myself - wouldnt it be funny if we ended up together? Well someone was having a laugh with me because a few months later we did end up together and here we are 8 years on!
2. I always did well in school. I wasnt top of the class but you could always guarantee that i would pass my tests and exams and was a quiet, good member of the class. I longed to be one of the naughty kids sometimes but just didnt have it in me. I got good GCSE grades and i went on to pass my Cache Level 3 Diploma in Child Care & Education in college too.
3. I actually have the worst concentration in the world. I will sit and watch something for a few minutes, or begin a blog, and then have to stop and do something else for a little bit, and come back to whatever i was doing after that. This reflects badly in my driving, or learning to drive. I find it hard to concentrate for long periods of time and my mind is always wandering and distracted. I was one of the daydreamers in class.
4. I absolutely love to read. Books, magazines, blogs, facebook walls, i can sit and read for hours. I literally get lost in a book and will be totally oblivious to all thats going on around me. Im very nosey and love to know whats going on in other peoples lives on a daily basis.
5. I dont take enough pride in my personal appearence. I am always clean, i will say that. But i wear clothes to their death. I see myself as frumpy, dull and worn. I very rarely buy myself new clothes and shoes, i just wear the same jeans and tees every day (alternated in the wash). So i always look the same as i did the day before. This also applies to my hair. It always just hangs there and rarely has much style to it. Every once in a blue moon i have it cut and coloured and vow to keep up with it but i never do. If i do buy new clothes they are worn straight away until they too die a slow faded and worn death before being replaced.
6. I am extremely unorganised. I leave everything to the last minute and often find i have thrown things out by accident, or moved them never to be found again. This gets me into lots of trouble on a regular basis. I tend to live by the day so when my motto is we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, and we then find ourselves up a creek without a paddle - its often my fault. I have a diary and i pin things to the fridge but you can guarantee that most things will be forgotten and left to the last minute and will find us scrabbling around trying to get everything done/on time etc.
7. I love food. I am not a healthy eater either. I love all the junk food going, and lots of it. This hasnt done me any favours as ive now managed to end up heavier after each pregnancy and am now heavier than ive ever been :( Im not enormous by all accounts but i do have weight to lose. I find it very difficult to lose weight, and i have no will power whatsoever most of the time. I give in very easily to temptation and i wish i was one of those people who could just eat whatever i liked and for it to make no difference. Thats not the case for me though. I can lose 3-4lbs in a week if im good and work hard but then i can put 2-3lbs back on in the space of a day or two. I find this highly unfair. I am now back on weight watchers determined to finally stop looking at myself in disgust and get some of this weight down.
Thats it from me though and i dont know 15 other blogs to link this to but will list a few for you all ...
