25 Things About Me

 I have taken this post directly from my FB site. Currently I am totally bogged down with end of term stuff and the many functions and responsibilities I have before my boss retires in just over a week. It's an emotional time. I have taken on a lot of extra work, so for today- I'm recycling.

1) I have drunk a mug of chocolate Nesquik nearly every day for the last 14 years.
2) I once won a competition on the radio for the fact that I only buy cheese if the price ends in 5 or 0.
3) I clean my ears to a silly degree and have given myself ear infections.
4) I have some of the same friends I have had since I was 9.
5) I once convinced a lot of people at school that the yellow haired old man supply was a friend's Grandad. She didn't laugh as much as me.
6) A fat man once sat on my hand and broke 2 of my fingers at center parcs. It did get me out of all cross country sessions!
7) My only Valentine card was from an elderly dog this year.
8) I am very untidy.
9) I have a horrible singing voice but have to sing a lot at work.
10) I love my job.
11) I can learn 30 children's names in half an hour..try me!
12) When I sneeze, I always get goosebumps.
13) I have been a vegetarian since I was 13 except from the time at a Girl Guide event when I forgot and ate a sausage roll.
14) I swam by a barracuda on holiday in the Maldives...it was massive and a bit terrifying.
15) I hated P.E, Maths and ICT at school. Now I am responsible for them in my job and have grown to love them.
16) I am very close to my brother and sisters. A friend of ours said they would "do the set".
17) When I taught Italian twins, the only words I learnt were Polar Bear and starfish.
18) I nearly lost the end of my left middle finger when I was very little. You can still see the stitch marks.
19) Barry Manilow's Copacobana is one of my all time favourite songs.
20) My cat Frodo has his own Facebook page.
21) I cry at E.T, Gladiator and Awakenings...other films leave me cold.
22) Me and my sister laughed until our sides hurt once when we watched our Grandma picking baked beans off the grass....we told her my dad didn't like them on the grass because birds don't eat them.
23) I am scared of caterpillars and slugs make me gag.
24) I once tried to bleach my hair and it was white yellow at the top and orange at the bottom. I was then followed by a man in a posh car who tried to proposition me.
25) I always sing to magpies to wish away their bad luck.
