10 things you didn’t know about me
I’ve been tagged by Mother Venting and Melksham Mum to tell you 10 things you didn’t know about me. I have tried my very best to come up with interesting facts but I’m afraid you’ll have to agree I was scraping the bottom of the barrel a bit for some. Hope you enjoy (and don’t hold any of them against me).
- My family are going to great lengths to avoid me. My parents moved to Seattle when I was 21, my brother is at university in Victoria, Canada and my sister is moving to Brisbane in September. Was it something I said?
- I studied politics for years (under- and post-grad) but none of my friends and family are remotely interested in politics so I am banned from going on about current affairs under normal circumstances. Occasionally it just slips out though, sorry!
- I’m really short, not quite 5’1’’.
- I am not remotely house proud. In fact, except for doing the washing and cleaning the bathroom, my husband does pretty much all the house work. I will occasionally do some washing up, in a pinch, if we’ve run out of something. God forbid we ever split up as the house would descend into complete chaos. Don’t feel too sorry for him though as I try to make up for my slovenly ways by doing the gardening, any DIY that doesn’t require brute strength and all the boring organising/paperwork/money stuff.
- My favourite comfort food, especially when I’m ill, is pasta with ketchup.
- I’m a complete telly addict. I watch countless programmes: drama, news, comedy, sci-fi. My Sky+ box is possibly my most prized possession and power cuts give me panic attacks in case they damage its hard drive.
- I got a A in A-Level Physics and am a bit of a science geek at heart. This means that when watching the aforementioned sci-fi I am likely to irritate everyone by proclaiming things like ‘That wouldn’t make you go back in time, you’d just see back in time’ as if I know what I’m talking about.
- I manage to grow stuff in the garden but kill any and all pot plants except for one yucca that I have had since the first week of university (13 years ago). I don’t even like it but it just won’t die and I can’t bring myself to get rid of it.
- I’m a passable driver but I cannot parallel park if someone is looking. Passengers have to shut their eyes or it’ll take me all day.
- I have pinched a nun’s bum (but that’s a story for another time…)
Now it’s your turn:

Politics AND physics! Wow, you’re clever!
I have to parallel park outside my house, sometimes I can squeeze into a space that only a Smart car would attempt, other days I do a good impression of my mother! So I fully understand you on that one! Was the nun a fancy dress costume??!! (Here’s hoping!)
Nope, real nun…
But everyone knows knowing Psychics is how you travel back in time…like how to design the flux capacitor in Back to the future!
I am crap at housework too, my OH irons and washes everything! I am also a plant killer. Anything that looks pretty has been looking after itself, I’ve not really done anything!
Nice post!
Glad it’s not just me! Like to think I’m improving the kids immune systems
Your husband does all the cleaning??! Wowzer. Mine doesn’t do anything in the house and he makes even more work for me by leaving his boxers all the over the bathroom! Apparently until I go back to work, it’s my job! x
My husband thinks the same but luckily I have a higher tolerance for mess than he does and if I leave it long enough he eventually gives in and does it. It’s a bit like the husband equivalent of sleep training, distressing at the time but best in the long run.
I like you. You’re shorter than me, so I can loom over you. You like TV. You are a sloven. You can do Physics. This is all excellent. Now, to change: pasta with KETCHUP?? Yeuch. You want to do pasta with MAYO. Comfort-a-gogo. And politics? Hmm, OK, I can cope with that, but only if you’re left of centre. Right-wingers leave me cold. Otherwise, you sound pretty cool.
And you were worried about finding interesting stuff? Nonsense!
Ooooh, mayo. I’m down with that! Definitely left of centre but did have a crush on Michael Portillo for a brief period in the 90s, forgive me?
Totally with you in regards to slight panic attack occurring if there is a powercut! Could not cope if our sky+ box was wiped!!
