So I am lacking inspiration with my blog, I’m not feeling particularly political at the moment and well life is just a bit ‘stuck in a rut’ if you know what I mean. So I pinched an idea that’s been doing the rounds on You Tube for a few weeks. It’s the 50 random facts about me tag, so I’ll try to keep it interesting but there will be some really obvious ones for those who know me 🙂 So we’ll start…
1) I’ll be 43 next birthday. Thought I’d hate being in my 40’s but actually it’s not too bad. 50 might be another story though 😉
2) I never wanted children….and now I have five!
3) I live in Wales but come from Oxfordshire.
4) I am a qualified nurse. I trained at Barnet General Hospital/ Middlesex University. Loved every single second of my training! But…
5) I was the typical student nurse. Worked hard, partied harder!
6) I met my husband via the internet.
7) We’ve been married 12 years this year and together 14.

10) I prefer the company of men.
11) But I do have some very good female friends.
12) I am a jeans and t-shirt girl.
13) But I do love to wear make-up.
14) I have coloured my hair since I was about 16, first blonde, then dark brown, then red, then blonde again and at the moment I’m a reddy brown. And now I’m thinking of going back to blonde.
15) I am a failed goth. Tried very hard to be one, but never quite made it.

17) I would kill for giant cola bottles.
18) I would also kill for Turkish delight.

22) I hate my house.
23) I don’t like raw tomatoes.
24) My favourite drink is Southern Comfort and Lemonade.

So that’s the end, I had a few more facts in me but it was only 50. Most of them are a bit boring, so apologies for that. Anyway hoping for some more inspiration in the near future so I can blog about something more interesting. Hope you are all well and enjoying the sun!
