The meme was started by Lauren at The Real Housewife of Suffolk County.
Here goes... the A-Z of me
ANORAK…Do you have a sad side?
Yes, I am a geek. Particularly stationery, and I love spreadsheets!! My CD collection is also rather sad... Steps, Spice Girls, Hanson, Venga Boys... (can't believe I just admitted to that!!).
BODY…What physical attribute would you most like to change?
Well, I've been working hard on losing weight and I've now reached my target. I wish I didn't have a wrinkly neck (my sister will know what I'm talking about as she has it too!). I also wish I could change my upper arms. It's my skin tone that is my major problem (red and blotchy) and I hate showing them.
CELEBRITY…Which one would you most like to date and why?
My current celebrity crush is
DEBUT …Tell us about your first ever blog post. What made you start blogging?
My first ever blog post was in June 2012, titled 'Beginning, Middle & End'. My good friend Becky started a blog to document her wedding plans and I thought it would be a good idea for me to start a parenting & lifestyle blog to share my tips, ideas & general ramblings. I've since gone on to lose 3 dress sizes in 3 months so I've been sharing some healthy eating & exercise tips too.
ERROR …What’s been your biggest regret?
Most of my regrets involve my mum who died when I was 19. I wish I told her how much I loved her and now it's too late. I didn't even say goodbye, even when I knew she was dying. I also wish I had been there when she actually passed. It was the middle of the night and I remember my dad getting a phone call from the hospice as it woke me up. I hope she wasn't alone...
FUNNY... Who’s making you laugh?
My son makes me laugh a lot. His vocabulary is improving by the day and he's just hilarious...
GRAND…If we gave you one right now what would you spend it on? If I was being selfish I'd spend it on
HOLIDAY… What’s your favourite destination?
It's been a while since I've been on a proper holiday. I went to New York City with work a few years ago (b.c. before children) and loved it.
IRRITATE… What’s your most annoying habit?
If I'm talking on the phone whilst on the computer I get distracted too easily and I think it annoys the person on the other end of the phone (usually my sister!).
JOKER…Whats your favourite joke {the one that makes you laugh everytime you hear it}? Don't really have a favourite joke, but I love Modern Family. I laugh out loud at each episode!
KENNEL… Do you have any pets?
LOVE…Are you single, married, engaged, living with a long term partner?
MEAL… Whats your ultimate starter, main and dessert?
NOW…If you could be anywhere right now where would you be and who with? On holiday somewhere warm & sunny with the kids.
OFF DUTY…What do you do in your spare time? Keep fit (
PROUD MOMENTS …What are you most proud of? Getting my PhD and giving birth to two beautiful children. More recently I've been really proud of myself with how I dealt with finding out that my husband was having an affair.
QUEASY …What turns your stomach?
I can't stand polystyrene.
RELAX…How do you relax? Love having a pampering facial or massage. Or even just a hot shower or bath without the interruptions of a little one!
SONG…Whats your favourite song of all time?
A Whiter Shade of Pale by Procol Harum. It reminds me of my mum though & makes me sad, but it's a favourite nonetheless.
TIME …If you could go back in time and relive it again, when would you choose? 2000, the year before my mum died.
UNKNOWN…Tell us something about yourself that no one else knows? I struggled to think of Seven Things for a previous meme... not sure I can think of another!
VOCAL…. Who is your favourite artist? Don't really have a favourite, but I like Annie Lennox. Probably because my mum did and her songs remind me of my childhood.
WORK….. What is your dream job, and are you doing it now? Dream job... running a little cupcake cafe with attached gift shop maybe.
XRAY…Any broken bones?
Broke my arm when I was little.
YIKES…What’s been your most embarrassing moment?
There have been lots.
ZOO…. If you were an animal, which one would you be?
I'm not great with animals*...not sure I'd like to be one! It would have to be a domestic animal rather than a wild animal, and I definitely wouldn't like to be stuck in a zoo.
Now I have the pleasure of tagging some other bloggers to take part in this meme (sorry!).

Great list and thank you for the tag. I certainly didn't notice a wrinkly neck. You look gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteI do that thing on the phone too. I suddenly realise that the person on the other end has stopped talking and realise I have no idea what they said as I was too busy typing a reply on twitter..
ReplyDeleteA cupcake cafe..yes, that sounds right up my street. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tag. Have finally done it today!
