Are you sensible?

I like to think I am now. I have been very stupid in the past but have grown up and learnt. I do have my moments though.

Have you ever been flashed?
By a speed camera? Yes. On my first day back living in Australia. Not Happy Jan. Flashed by a streaker? Yes and have also flashed others before on a drunken night out in Manly.

Can you use chopsticks?
No. Tried. Failed. Many Times. I hate myself for not being able to use them. I am usually the only one that has to ask for a fork and I hate that as I hate failing.

What is your most uncomfortable piece of clothing?
I would have to say my swimmers (bathers for the non Aussies). I am quite big breasted and when I tried them on in the shops, they were fine. However, when I go in the sea and go through a wave, the top falls down. Every time. Without fail.

Have you ever said I Love You without meaning it?
No never. I have said I love you to many people in my past who at the time I did love. I say it a lot more these days to my parents, sisters , hubby and Oliver. My heart just melts when Oliver says ‘Love you Mummy’ back to me. It makes me all squishy inside.

Whose was the last wedding you attended?
Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend the last wedding we were invited to as Oliver was not invited and we had no baby sitter. It was my husband’s cousin’s wedding in London. It was a very ritzy and formal wedding held near the Thames River. Morning suits were a MUST. The last wedding before that was an old work colleague of mine who was married 2 weeks after Oliver was born. Let’s just say I was not relaxed and pleased to get home.

What’s your favourite sound?
Definitely waves crashing. If the ocean is quite rough, I can hear it from my parents place late at night and I just love it. It is so peaceful and relaxing.

Do you talk to yourself?
Sometimes. I even talk in my sleep sometimes too. Now that I am not working, I don’t talk to myself much anymore.

What are you like when you’re drunk?
I don’t get drunk very often anymore and if I do, it is usually in the presence of just my husband. In my uni days and post uni, I had many nights out where I was loud, flirty and entertaining. Those days are long gone now though, thank god.

What reading matter is currently beside your bed?
I have just returned from living in the UK for the last 6 years so right now I am catching up on trashy Australian magazines (my favourite is NW) and some home inspiration magazines. i have a couple of light hearted books to read after I catch up on everything in the magazines first.
