12 Facts About me
[1] I have never ever been abroad. In fact, I have never left England. Thankfully, that will have changed by September…Rome here I come!
[2] Like Emma, I used to want 4 kids,but after having one, I’m not sure if 4 is the right number anymore.
[3] I love being organised but I am also incredibly lazy at times i.e when I’m feeling ill or haven’t had enough sleep. I could have organised the whole house the day before, but two days later, it will be in worse disarray than before.
[4] I always said I’d never get Twitter. Now I don’t seem to stop tweeting (@OhNoItsBex if you’re interested).
[5] I like entering competitions. There’s no shame in that, although some people think that people who enter loads are weird. Whilst on maternity leave, entering competitions kept me sane – and also won me some great stuff!
[6] I am probably the worst person for taking off my makeup at night. I know I should, but that pillow seems so much more tempting.
[7] I thought I had a large family. Then I met Steve’s. When Jack gets christened, it’s going to be horrible – it’s only a small church and our families will pack it out, so we’re having to establish a routine. Invites will go out, if people can’t make it, then the next person on the list will get invited. Harsh, but it has to be done…we won’t be able to fit in both families AND friends, so some people just can’t come…eek!
[8] I never appreciated sleep as much as I do now. When I was younger, I thought nothing of staying round a friends house, going to bed at 6.30am then getting back up about five minutes later realising I needed to get ready for work, then working my whole shift with no sleep. I left my friend drinking vodka and cokes in the kitchen that morning, he hadn’t been to sleep yet either!
[9] Having a baby means you find out who your true friends are. It’s sad but sometimes you just have to accept you’ve outgrown some people.
[10] I was a ‘greebo’ when I was younger, much as I hate labels, and I laugh when I think about the way I used to act, even some of the people I used to hang around with. I speak to possibly three of them now?
[11] The one drink I despise but will never turn down especially when drunk is tequila. Although I dislike it, a friend and I had a Friday night thing of having a couple of shots of tequila. I hate it now, but won’t refuse it if bought one…silly girl!
[12] I used to have more boy mates than girl mates, then more girls than boys, now it’s back to boys again. Most of the girls fell by the wayside when I was pregnant and haven’t spoken to me since :/
My Questions from Emma

Smithy. I think the reasoning is quite obvious. Also, Rebecki, Blueberry Muffin…

Having a bubble bath or a Lush bath with a good book or my phone to catch up with the latest blog posts on Google Reader.
6. Best holiday you have ever gone on?
