Tagged by Tam

Tam has tagged me for a different MeMe, so here it goes:

What were you doing ten years ago?

I was working for a carers charity in Surrey, enjoying my first year of marriage and having lie ins on a Saturday morning beyond 7am!

Five things on my to do list for today
  1. Put my ironing away(only fair as hubby did it all last night)
  2. Collect the eggs from the chickens
  3. Make a quiche (ate the one in the fridge from the previous Meme)
  4. Hoover my car (floor looks like a woodland forest)
  5. Google for directions to a conference tomorrow

What are three of your bad habits?

  1. Putting myself down
  2. Not being able to say No
  3. Not getting enough sleep

What would you do if you were a billionaire?

I would buy a small holding with chcikens, ducks, horses and sheep. It would need a big barn that could be converted to a bookshop/rural cafe for budding writers to come and be inspired and to write with lattes. It would have extensive country views and be near the sea....oh and I would also get a cleaner!

What are some snacks you enjoy?

  1. Crackers and mature cheese with red onion chutney
  2. Galaxy chocolate
  3. Almonds
  4. Cherries
  5. Raspberries
  6. Scones with jam and clotted cream (well I do live in Cornwall!!!)

What were the last five books you read?

  1. Stardust Neil Gaiman
  2. Wolf Brother Michelle Paver
  3. Spirit Walker Michelle Paver
  4. Soul Eater Michelle Paver
  5. Outcast Michelle Paver

I guess you can see I have got a little hooked on this series!!! Planning to re read the Chronicles of Narnia now.

What five jobs have you had?

  1. Shop assistant at Chessington World of Adventures (really not as exciting as it sounds)
  2. Teacher/Instructor at Day Centre for adults with learning Disabilities (Great fun - loved it)
  3. Carers Support Worker (Humbling experience)
  4. Customer Service Assistant at huge branch of M & S in Kingston (got to serve my then headmistress who was returning unwanted Christmas pressies)
  5. Support aid to Michael Aspel's disabled son (then 13 years old). Nice man, Mr Aspel, bump started my knackered metro over speed humps when the battery died after I left my lights on.

Name five places I have lived

  1. Chessington (Surrey)
  2. Reading (at Uni)
  3. Polperro (rented for 1 year)
  4. Lanivet (near Bodmin)

Have not lived anywhere else but spent 1 month in the Falkland Islands when I was three visiting my dad's relatives with my parents, where I had the dubious pleasure of falling down a penguin burrow!!!

So that is a bit more about me, hope the piccy gets some of you salivating suitably!

What Kind of Book am I?

You Are Fantasy / Sci Fi
You have an amazing imagination, and in your mind, all things are possible.
You are open minded, and you find the future exciting. You crave novelty and progress.

Compared to most people, you are quirky and even a bit eccentric. You have some wacky ideas.
And while you may be a bit off the wall, there's no denying how insightful and creative you are.
