I've seen a few of these on blogs lately. I think it's fun to find out all this useles info about people. And it's good to keep things going. A bit like a virtual mexican wave.
I apologise that the last section seems to have got all squished up. Don't know how to fix it sorry..
The A-Z of me
A-Age:
37
B-Bed size:
King but we need a double next to it, as it's a 'Family Bed'
full of kids a lot of the time.
We love it like that!
C-Chore that you hate:
Getting to the bottom of the washing pile.
It NEVER ends and that does my head in!

| Pip, the dog we had when we were kids. She was lovely, but crazy. Those puppies were adorable. |
D-Dogs:
NOt right now, but I quite like them. One day we'll get one I'd say. The kids are enough of a handful right now!
E-Essential start to your day:
I have few choices about this!
It's mayhem here in the mornings!!
F-Favourite Colour:
Purple
Turquoise
A kind of lime yellow mustardy colour that I really can't explain! It's pretty much the colour that is on my Google Chrome tab.
G-Gold or silver:
Silver but not much.
Although my wedding bands are gold.
I prefer BEADS!
H-Height:
5'1" lucky me.
Womble stature.
I-Instruments you play:
Guitar
Can do piano but not majorly.
Am proud to say that I taught myself the ukelele last week and I'm addicted.
I was a jazz singer in a former life. Still do the odd wedding, BVs etc.
Voice is defo my instrument of choice.

Robin Isla, rest her beautiful soul.

N-Nicknames:
I don't have a universal one. One friend calls me Mavis. I call her Mavis too.
My real name is Linda, for those that are interested!
I was called Lindy until I was 7 or 8 and decided I was too grown up.
O-Overnight hospital stays:
A few.
But only when it's been necessary .
Actually, the worst was with my daughter iris for nearly a week. It's way worse when it's your kid that is sick. (She was 9 days old then and she's perfect now by the way!)
P-Pet peeves:
People chewing gum noisily, especially when in close confines like a lift or a London train or bus.
Q-Quote from a movie:
"I could have been a contender" (MArlon Brando)
My problem is remembering them. I always think that I will, but I never do.

T-Time you wake up:
5:30 - 6 depending on when I'm forced to. I am more of a morning person than Op Shop Daddy, but that doesn't mean I like it!!
U-Underwear:
NEVER op shopped!
The only other things I wouldn't buy second hand would be a mattress or a fridge!
V-Vegetable you hate:
Eggplant
W-What makes you run late:
There's a long list, but I HATE being late.
A late nappy-change requirement is a common one, or trying to find something.
X-X rays you've had:
Teeth, broken shoulder a few years ago (I tripped on a toy and tried to save my young baby - my shoulder took the full fall. Shit that hurt. Most accidents happen at home LOL)
Y-Yummy food that you make:
I love baking when I'm in the mood.
I make a pretty good slice or cookie..
I'm quite expert at eating them too.
I am also good at stews and soups. And pies.
Bless my domestic goddess heart.
Z-Zoo animal:
Not much of an animal enthusiast, although I don't hate them obviously. My Dad works at the Auckland Zoo and I thoroughly enjoy a wander around it.
I'm always attracted to those cheeky monkeys.
Amused? Informed? Play it back! I want to hear about YOU!
Happy days.
