Tagged by Littlemummy.com and Dulwich Divorcee: Some stuff about me

Erica and Alice have passed the baton on this one, so here goes...

1. What are your current obsessions?

As ever lots of things. Family and work, work and family. That's about it really. Blog wise, I'm still reeling from our Disney experience, and am blown away by the work of Camilla Chafer and Keris Stainton so far on our new travel blog, Havealovelytime.com.

2. Which item of clothes do you wear most often?

Just anything black, black and more black. If you want to know why, look here.

3. What’s for dinner tonight?

I cooked a Mexican for me, Neil and Emily and mince and baked potato for Mels who's not keen on the Mexican flavours. I watched Come Dine with Me while I was cooking it. I love that programme, it cracks me up.

4. What’s the last thing you bought?

Some whippy ice creams for my daughters from The Hollybush Garden Centre, Staffs.

5. What are you currently listening to?

Silence and I love it.

6. What TV shows are you watching at the moment?

I'm not watching much telly but am still a sucker for Mr Saturday night, John Barrowman and Britain's Got Talent. Am also addicted to Come Dine with Me. Have always been a massive Corrie fan but like Avenues and Alleyways have enjoyed the odd bit of humour on EastEnders recently - though as I said, not watching much.

7. What are you reading now?

Ben Goldacre's Bad Science. I thought it was going to be difficult to read, too lofty and academic but have found it very accessible and thought-provoking - especially as I've written in the past about how crap statistics to do with multiple births can be.

8. Use four words to describe yourself? Loved, lucky, busy, fat.

9. What is your guilty pleasure?

My children's Easter eggs. One year I swear it won't be an issue any more!

10. Who or what makes you laugh until you’re weak?

Looking at the pictures of us on rollercoasters last week, my daughters when they say things like calling (cough) panty liners' "ladies' fanny things." This post by Laura at Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy, and the comments, also had me in stitches.

11. First spring thing?

Snowdrops on a walk near Shrewsbury with my mum.

12. Where are you planning on travelling next?

To New Quay, West Wales. We go several times each year and love it.

13. What was the best thing you ate or drank recently?

Sorry to bang on about Disney but the beef we had at Citrico's at The Grand Floridan Hotel will take some beating!

14. When did you last get tipsy?

Erm, sorry to bang on about Disney...

15. Why do you blog?

Because I want to provide information about multiple births on this blog. Also see this post.

16. Share a piece of wisdom.

Kindness is a strength.

17. What’s your favourite song?

Tom Jones, The Green Green Grass of Home because it makes me think of my family. Loads of other stuff too - really cheesy 80s stuff, not much since then. How sad is that? :)

18. Where’s the best place you’ve ever been?

Home.

Here’s how it works:

I tag you. You answer the questions, replace one question with a question of your choice and then tag 8 people. Simple! Here’s the 8 people I tag.

Oh, I heart Ben. He gave me some input about a blog post. He's great.

And the picture that makes me laugh until I cry? Has to do with a rollercoaster too. ;)

[exmoorjane]

Oooh, thanks for tagging me Linda, but I've already done this one (sadly before Disney or I too would have the rollercoaster pic as my LOL moment).....and echoed you on the best meal etc....the steak out there was just FAB (swiftly followed by the swordfish).... Love this insight into your life.....knock out the 'fat' though and put 'fabulous' instead!

[Linda]

Hi Becky and Jane, thanks for commenting - typically I have arrived late. I think I will start a rollercoaster gallery!

[Littlemummy]

You're so not fat.

On a different subject, can't wait for this trip at the weekend :)

[SingleParentDad]

Yo Joner,

Cheers for the tag, but like exmoorjane I've been done before ;-)

I think it would be fun to have readers fill out this questionnaire.. Just to see what is going on in their lives and get them actively commenting. Plus it takes a little pressure off you making a good post for the day/week/month!

Don't you recognize that it's the best time to receive the business loans, which can make you dreams real.
