You Are My Sunshine


As I'm going to be getting back into Blogging as of Thursdy I thought I'd entertain something which was sent to me by Clare whereby you share facts about yourself and request facts from your fellow bloggers;

* The rules: 
1. Acknowledge the nominating blogger, 
2. Share eleven random facts about yourself, 
3. Answer the eleven questions set by your nominating blogger
4. Nominate eleven bloggers yourself, 
5. Post eleven questions for your nominees to answer then let them know they're up. 

I don't really follow other blogs too intently, I mainly blog just to talk out loud and amuse people, so steps 4 & 5 are going to be lost on me a little but I'll give the rest a go! 

Step 1: Acknowledge the Blogger, tick!

Step 2: Eleven random facts about me

1. I always take a drink with me to bed and quite often can drink a pint of fruit squash during the night

2. I worked in a bike shop for 6yrs during school/uni 

3. I am a big fan of lists and am a massive control freak

4. I've being going grey since about the age of 15

5. I check that my phone is on loud and turned up to top volume about 10 times before I can be sure that my alarm is going to go off in the morning

6. I like ironing

7. I cry a lot when I watch TV, even in public

8. I don't like looking out of windows when it's dark

9. I achieved a grade 6 in piano 

10. For someone who's worked in and around music for the last 8yrs, I don't actually KNOW that much about music

11. You can currently find me wedged on a commuter train from Lewisham to Waterloo East

There you go, a few facts about me, tick! Onto the questions set by my nominee. 

1.  Favorite alcohol beverage ever (or non-alcoholic if you don't drink!)
> For this time of year it's got to be red wine

2. What was your favorite subject at school
> I loved maths but I wasn't very good at it. I started doing A Level maths and got promptly kicked out and demoted to just doing an AS in Statistics

3. Would you change anything about the country you live in?
> Right now? More trains during rush hour

4. Nicest thing your partner has ever done for you.
> I think I'm quite lucky in that I think my other half does a lot of nice things for me everyday - he's always wry considerate and always put others first, I wouldn't change him for the world. Nicest thing? Most recently he surprised me when I got home with a handbag that I'd spotted while out shopping the weekend before.

5. 5 items you would take to a desert island.
> Suncream, a lot of books, rum, laptop, roast potatoes

6. What is in your wallet/purse right now?
> Not much! A load of receipts, a bit of change, many pointless cards, and a picture of the manfried

7. Best kids film of all time
> Duck Tails

8. Which musician inspires you
> The oldies, the ones that didn't do what they do for fame

9. Do you have a favorite sports star? If so, who?
> Would a football manager count as a sports star? I'm a big fan of the bloke who used to be the manager of Blackpool FC. 

10. What is the yukkiest food in the world, that nothing would ever make you want to eat it?
> Tofu, what's the point! 

11. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time???
> Living in rural Kent with a few sprogs

If you fancy getting involved with my '30 Days Hath November' challenge you can find details in my first post - I'll be starting on Thursday so keep your eyes peeled!
