7 random things blog award

I was nominated by the fabulous Tanya Kovarsky to tell you 7 random things about myself. I’m mentally chewing my nails as I’m wondering if there’s anything I haven’t written about myself in the last 3 years I have been blogging.  Not I have a problem talking about myself, but you know how it is.

So here goes:

1. When I worked in London in the 90’s the hotel I worked in (the Bailey’s Hotel) had a fire and I was the manager on duty.  I managed to evacuate everyone by ordering all the staff around and then some.
2. I have never owned a bikini.  When I was 6 or 7 I had to have polyps removed that left me with a fugly scar on my stomach.  The only time I have ever worn a bikini was in Mozambique and only because it was my backup cozzy and the one-piece broke. And I was 25 kgs less than I am now.
3. I had a big round brown birthmark on my right cheek that was removed when I was little.
4. I have had plastic surgery to correct the above 2 scars.
5. I abhor admin and paperwork.  Etienne ends up getting lumped with most of it.  I’m happy to arrange things and make stuff, but I run screaming when I see a piece of paper or a household budget.
6. I am having a very public love affair with turqouise.  It’s the most beautiful colour.  Sigh. (hints at Christmas nad bats eyelids at Etienne)
7. I really don’t like pasta.  I don’t think I know anyone that doesn’t like pasta and it’s taken me a long time to accept that it’s just not me, it’s the pasta.

Tanya already nominated most of the Fabulous Mommy Bloggers I follow, so I can’t give you 15 more, but do yourself a favour and head on over to the Parent24 blogging platform where I used to blog and take a peek at Deblet, Luddite Lass, Cams, Deids13, Suki, MinkiMinki (to name but a few)and all the other Moms that blog there.  They kept me sane and it was a lovely place to find my blogging feet so to speak.  I miss them every day!

Edit to add:  There are at least 2 extra special Moms I left out yesterday and I realised it in the middle of the night!  Here they are: Hopeful Mom and Shazzie.  Sorry!
