A-Z Totally stolen idea I know!


Well I've seen this on a few blog posts now and thought I would use the theme too. So you may get to know me a little better. So here goes!!!

A - Age - 37 so we will move on quickly :).

B - Bed size - Just a normal double which is quite enough for me on my lonesome or to share with the kiddiwinks occassionally when they sneak in lol

C - Chores you hate - Most of them really. Cannot see what to like about any of them!

D - Dogs - Not at the moment but I have agreed to a puppy when my parents dog has a litter (hopefully some time next year). Secretly very excited about this as are the kiddiwinks, a cute Jack Russell puppy yay.

E - Essential start to your day - Is a couple of mugs of coffee.

F - Favorite colour - Have a thing for purple. Started as a child when I used to call it 'people' colour. Obviously couldn't manage to say purple. Mum says I insisted on a room being painted purple (hey it was the 70s) which I used to sit in. Since discovered that I penchant for purple can indicate psychotic tendencies, so watch out he he.

G - Gold or silver - Definately silver although I do like white gold too. I buy a lot of jewellery but don't wear much as I forget to put it on. Like a little magpie me.

H - Height - Well you'll laugh at this one as I'm am tiny. Only 4'10" ha ha.

I - Instruments you play - None, like everyone else I played recorder at school. but my talent never progressed to violin or guitar!! Would love to play the piano though. My fingers are too short and stubby I think.

J - Job title - Looking for a new one at the moment as we have just moved. Enjoying having a go at selling vintage on Etsy while I'm looking.

K - Kids - Well I have 2 gorgeous kiddiwinks. Conor who is 8 and Emily who is nearly 6. Don't know where the time has gone. They are growing up fast and have an answer for everything!

L - Live - Just moved up to County Durham and loving it :)

M - Mother's name - It's Elaine (a name she hates) and I'm very happy as we now live much closer and can spend more time together.

N - Nickname - Family tend to call me Shell (Michelle if I'm in trouble). Some use Mish hence my shop mish73. My Auntie used to call me Mickey which I absolutely blooming hated!!

O - Overnight hospital stays - Appendix, Adenoids and both kiddiwinks by c-section. Cannot remember any more, thankfully.

P - Pet Peeves - Lateness drives me up the wall. I hate to be late and therefore never am and cannot understand how anyone else would be. Ok rant over.

Q - Quote from a film - "They're not gonna catch us. We're on a mission from God." (Elwood Blues Brothers). Love that film, makes me laugh every time. Could give you a whole list of quotes from that film alone.

R - Right or left handed - Right

S - Siblings - Sister Helen and Brother Richard. I'm the smallest and eldest.

T - Time you wake up - Generally between 6 and 7.

U - Underwear - Good old M & S :).

V - Vegetable you hate - Don't mind any now but it would never be my first choice. But growing up I would only eat cooked peas and potatoes (not sure if it counts as a veg). The rest I would only eat raw. Stopped eating cooked veg when I started Primary school and a kindly dinner lady forced me to eat a big plate of swede!!!! Still remember it now.

W - What makes you run late - NOTHING - see pet peeves.

X - X-rays you've had - Cannot remember.

Y - Yummy food you make - Banana cake which is fab and make a mean Shepherds Pie which the kiddiwinks love.

Z - Zoo animal - Mmm if I had to choose it would be chimpanzees.



Well you may have learnt a little about me today. Hopefully not enough to stop you following lol.

Wow I made it to day 7 of Blogtoberfest too!

Enjoy your day everyone.
