7 things



Thank you Lisa for this award and the 7 things tag that came with it, ......


7 Things to do before I die


in no particular order:
  1. learn to crochet
  2. raise 2 well adjusted children
  3. see the Northern lights
  4. make a difference to someone
  5. take better photographs
  6. meet up with some of my new blog friends
  7. find my mobile phone

7 things I do now

  1. procrastinate
  2. spend a lot of time looking for things that I've tidied away somewhere, or left somewhere randomly - like my keys for example, or my mobile...
  3. scatter threads through the house as I sew



  4. take lots of photographs
  5. drink lots of tea
  6. eat too much chocolate
  7. avoid doing the ironing at all costs, until both children are clamouring for school uniform

7 things I can't do

  1. crochet
  2. park in small spaces, or parallel park, or in fact park in medium sized spaces, if I'm on my own I'll drive about till I find a space I can drive through, and straight out of, without any of that nasty reversing nonsense.
  3. find my mobile
  4. touch my toes. even after 4 years of going to an exercise class which is meant to make you all flexible and supple.....
  5. get the points to match up in this quilt block I'm making with triangles.
  6. make small talk at parties where I don't know anyone, - I'm always the one in the kitchen doing the washing up...
  7. start the day without a cup of tea - this started when I was pregnant with Miss K, and if I moved at all first thing in the morning I felt awful, so J would bring me breakfast in bed. I no longer get the breakfast - who'd want cornflakes at 6am, but I still get the tea.

7 things that I find attractive in the opposite sex
  1. the ability to park
  2. sledge hammer or saw wielding ability


  3. being able to cook me delicious dinner
  4. willingness to deal calmly with insurance companies/builders/phone company/estate agents when I am so cross with them I want to shout and hurl the phone at them
  5. sense of humour - you need one in this house!
  6. extreme tolerance of my inability to park
  7. being willing to bring me a cup of tea in bed every morning, and then not be ungrateful when I ignore it and go back to sleep.
7 things I say most often
  1. in a minute
  2. have you cleaned your teeth?
  3. has anyone seen my keys?
  4. has anyone seen my mobile?
  5. I love you
  6. when will you two be old enough to make mummy a cup of tea?
  7. what would you like for dinner?
7 celebrities that I admire

not sure if this is admire as in have a crush on, or admire as in talent, charitable good works, or sense of humour....

so a random selection then.... Nigella, Ian Botham, Kylie, Rebecca Addlington, Ronan Keating, James Blunt, David Tennant


7 favourite foods
  1. chocolate
  2. chocolate cake
  3. chocolate dipped strawberries
  4. chocolate brownie
  5. hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows
  6. hot buttered toast
  7. Christmas dinner

    mmm, do you think I should have tried to include some healthy options...


7 people to join in the fun..

Simone, Lynn, Nancy, Rachael, LizzieJane, Jessica, Lesley

  6. Now that was fascinating! I'm afraid I bury my head in the sand with doing those sort of lists...................... I think I give them too much importance................. so I've never actually achieved a list about myself.................. but I very much enjoyed reading yours Tess................

  12. Fun post! I too dream of the day my children will be old enough to make me a cup of tea. Oh, and old enough to stop spilling their own drinks everywhere every five minutes.
