This is what I stole from Beth’s blog:
Originally devised by Mrs Lister,who admits to have nicked the questions from The Guardian Weekend Magazine, she’s hoping that we’ll all learn loads of new
Here goes!
Which living person do you most admire, and why?
This is a really hard question and not something I’ve ever really thought about before. Even thinking about it now, there isn’t one person that I can pinpoint. I could say my mum, for raising eight children and not going completely insane. My sister for various reasons.
Is it completely cliché if I say my son, the past five months J has had illness after illness and he still manages to smile and bring light into everyone else’s life. Hot headed, stubborn and determined he’s a proper little character. A complete and utter little charmer and I have learnt so much from him.
When were you happiest?
I should say right now shouldn’t I? I have two beautiful little boys, but it’s so hard – I spend so much of my energy focusing on just getting through the days that sometimes it’s hard to truly appreciate how happy I am.
The moments/hours immediately after the birth of both of my boys would be right at the top of my happiest moments. Nothing can top the amazing feeling when your tiny baby is first placed into your arms.
What was your most embarrassing moment?
I can’t remember any truly embarrassing and cringe worthy moments, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been any. It’s probably because I have repressed the horror of the memory.
Aside from property, what’s the most expensive thing you’ve bought?
My car, my lovely little Peugeot. She’s 6 and a half years old now, but I bought her new when I was still living with my parents and working full time.
What is your most treasured possession?
I have a lot of stuff, old letters, photos, random crap that I just don’t want to throw away. Perhaps my laptop is my most treasured possession, but purely because it has all my photos and all my writings on it and I’d properly cry if it broke and I lost everything.
Where would you like to live?
In real life I’d like a nice three bed house with a decent size garden. If I didn’t step out of my house and onto the street to that would be nice. Actually I’d be more than happy to live in a house like my parents and sister have (they live on the same street).
What’s your favour smell?
Babies head – they have this unique yummy smell.
Who would play you in the film of your life?
Oh I have no clue; I’m not very up on actress. I adore Julia Roberts though so that would be pretty awesome.
What is your favourite book?
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin.
What is your most unappealing habit?
Biting my nails.
I have an annoying need to plan. I drive my husband crazy when we are going out for the day. I stress the night before about what time we need to get up, when we need to leave, what we need to do. Etc etc. I write an annoying amount of lists, I write lists for lists – its probably pretty unappealing.
What would be your fancy dress costume of choice?
What is your guiltiest pleasure?
Drinking a calorie high hot chocolate and reading a trashy chick flick.
What do you owe your parents?
Everything. For their love and support through everything.
To whom would you most like to say sorry, and why?
My husband and he knows why.
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
My boys, all three of them.
What does love feel like?
A constant fuzzy warmth letting you know that everything will be okay.
What was the best kiss of your life?
December third 2005
Which words of phrases do you most overuse?
Tired! Stop it! Awww!
What is the worst job you’ve done?
Sales... Trying to sell refrigerated vans. I know nothing about vans, I know nothing about refrigeration and I care about them even less. It’s no wonder I never sold a single one and escaped after a month.
If you could edit your past, what would you change?
I’d erase New Years Eve 2007 – biggest regret of my life. I nearly ruined everything.
What is the closest you’ve come to death?
When a car spun out in front of us on the motorway. Thankfully we managed to jump into another lane, but my heart was in my throat.
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
My babies!
When did you last cry, and why?
Yesterday! Huge massive sobbing, tears, snot the lot. Why? Because I couldn’t find the bicycle pump and I wanted/needed to get out of the house with the boys and the types on the pushchair needed pumping. I had a complete and utter breakdown. This is what lack of sleep and period do to me. Hormonal fucking wreck.
How do you relax?
Book and bath.
What single thing would improve the quality of your life?
I’m pretty lucky to be fair, our quality of life is pretty good right now. More space wouldn’t go a miss but it’s not essential.
What is the most important lesson life has taught you?
However hard your life is, someone somewhere is going through a lot worse. So smile and be grateful for what you have.
Dam that was hard!
