Someone else loves us

The lovely Clareybabble has awarded us an award, I'm not sure which one, but one of them says I have to list 10 things about myself, and as I have a minute or two on my hands, here I go:

1. This is the longest I have ever been single for: one year, so far.


2. I was once a dummy in a lifesaving display. This involved being winched into a helicopter from one lifeboat and down into another - I wish I had been able to keep my eyes open a little more!


3. I was an extra on Grange Hill - they visited the Isle of Wight and we were the other school. Yes, if you've worked it out this was in the 'high' days of Zammo and 'Just say no'.


4. I was once nicknamed lobsterbolly at work


5. I had a lisp when I was younger, cured by speech therapy, but sometimes I wonder when my little girl likes Ssss words so much: sockssss, shoesssss...


6. I have a degree in Economics and am a qualified accountant but I hate, HATE, numbers


7. My car was clamped for unpaid road tax today


8. My first car was a red Renault 5 called Rupert


9. In 1989 I took part in one of the first ever Russian School Exchange trips, an amazing time to visit Moscow, Perestroika and Glasnost just beginning.


10. The thing that scares me most is losing my daughter.

I think this qualifies me for the honest scrap reward:

I bestow this to all those who don't already have it. Honestly, please help yourself.

(Not alturistic, I'm just nosey and want to know as much as possible about everyone)
