tagged and tagged again…
First up, a little bit of news for a snowy Monday morning (and im wearing 3 inch heals, good one!)…I’m an auntie for the first time! My little sister had Ben Edward on Saturday morning (their time in Oz, I got the message whilst pissed on Friday night). I’ve seen the pictures and he’s gorgeous!
Ok, i’m not particularly broody myself, I’m in no desperate rush to splice my self to someone else and give up my love of having a dam good time, but boy do my ovaries hurt when I see him – Euro blonde blue-eyed babe + Aussie Chinese/French = a model of the future…
Anyways, over the weekend i’ve been tagged twice. (Thanks guys for giving me lots of work to do).
First up Kylie from over at Random Thoughts as tagged me to do a quiz (sorry hon, but there were far too many questions, most of them very American, so i’ve cut it down to a just a few). But here we go…
When was the last time you splurged on a gift for yourself?
This is called ‘shopping’ – we girls do it a lot. The last thing I bought was probably a couple of new tops in the sales. I’m a bit of a cheapskate though and don’t like spending money on fancy labels, although i’m currently lusting after a gorgeous pair of Ted Baker shoboots, plus there is a Paul and Joe cape I have my eye on…ahem. I’m good at buying presents for myself but i’m awful at buying presents for people as if leave everything to the last minute or forget!
How often do you text message?
About every 5 minutes, unless I’m at work and then I email every 5 minutes. I’m a bit communications obsessed, blog, text, email, twit, facebook… I think id have a heart attack if I lost my mobile phone, or didn’t have it with me for a day.
Is there someone you’d like to fix things with?
There are possibly some bridges to be built here and there with a couple of friends – and some old friends I should be getting back in touch with. If I have made a new years resolution it’s probably to make more of an effort.
Do you give out second chances too easily?
Yes, as i’ve been forgiven in the past I now generally forgive and forget; people make mistakes too. Unless you hit on my man, cheat on me, steal from me or be two-faced, then you can go feck off.
What’s the next big decision you will have to make?
What kind of soup to eat for lunch.
Do you know what you will wear tomorrow?
Yes, black trousers, high heals, black top, big necklace. The same as I wear every day; makes things easy. My wardrobe is black, brown, cream and dark blue jeans; i’m a bit of a creature of habit. I’m regretting the 3 inch heals today; i’m not being very ladylike in them. I am learning ok?
Your motivation for tomorrow?
To get through to Wednesday when I have a day off to go shopping in Glasgow.
Are you ever purposely irritating?
Yes a lot, I love playing devil’s advocate. I’m also good at being purposely obtuse just to annoy people.
What was the last thing you used you debit card for?
Don’t have one, nor do I have a credit card. I believe in cash only. Ok I know i’m a luddite.
Do you have any text messages that you would be embarrassed to let your mom read?
Yep, I’m not really a nice girl, all part of a healthy sex life ;)
How old would you be when you finally have kids/ or next kids?
At this rate i’m going to die with 50 cats and dote on my sisters kids instead.
Do you/did you ever have dreams of being a rock star?
As I have a phobia of singing, NO.
What advice would you give to a new blogger?
Find your own voice, find blogs you like to read not just the ‘celebs’, have full RSS feeds, don’t over do your page with annoying widgets; especially music.
What was your favourite book as a child?
The Ha Ha Bonk Book
What is the coldest place/state that you ever visited?
-15 in Gothenburg Sweden, I had awful toothache and it kept freezing and re-freezing my tooth – I was in agony.
What is your favourite quote?
“all that is gold does not glisten, all that wander are not lost” The Lord of the Rings.
Ill tag….
Paula @ Insert my blog name here
Emma @ Because i like Waffles and Blethers
Miss America @ Bygones
Now if I haven’t tagged you, don’t think you have been let off easy as Lis from Last Years Girl has also tagged me to write 6 random things about myself which ill be posting later…
Hope you all had a great weekend..
Mwah Kx





Oh sweet lord I loved the Ha Ha Bonk book!!
And I can’t believe you don’t have a debit card. You are far far too sensible! I am the opposite. Debit and credit cards galore. I despise myself for it!
Congrats on becoming an auntie! I don’t know what I would do without a debit card! I rarely carry cash anymore unless I have to. Probably unsafe with all those hackers around.
Congrats Auntie!!! My lil brother called me Friday…his fiance` is preggers!! I have one niece and three enphews already, but I’m still very excited as this will be their first!!
Thanks for taking my tag!!! xoxo
Congrats again Auntie, and lookign forward to reading the results of my tag later! Let me know if you fancy meeting another blogger while in Glasgow, ha ha ;) xx

I’ll leave you the same comment that I left on someone else’s blog. I would congratulate you on becoming an Auntie, but that’s equivalent to congratulating your sister for getting it on. But that’s a lovely piece of news anyway.
And I’m happy to hear luddite snuck in on someone’s post. Not something you hear everyday.
Helen Im nto saying ive never had one, i did, im just paying off all my debts as fast i can so i can go travelling in 2 years time…
Sarcastically bitter I dont shop on the internet either. Im not sure that i trust it (even tho i spend most of my life on it!)
Kylie Congrats to your brother too :)
Last years girl I will, next time im in Glasgow we can meet for a drink/coffee?
TishTash Urgh, thats a thought! I love the word luddite, i even know what it actually means ;) I guess im a neo-luddite tho…
Is it wrong that as a Canadian, I feel the need to tell you how much colder it can be here than -15?
How neurotic of me!!
