10 Little things about me

b_150_100_16777215_00___images_10_things.jpg

I was tagged by the fabulous mammasaver to complete the following questions. There are various 'rules' that I have to abide by 

  • I have to answer all 10 questions
  • Need to tag someone to answer the same 10 questions
  • I then have to come back to my post and comment that you have done so. That way we can find out who's been tagged and thus find out more about our fellow bloggers.
Here goes -
 
1. Describe yourself in seven words :

Tired, neat freak, optimistic, independent, friendly, introvert
 
2. What keeps you awake at night?

Little fella on occasions, residual pain from a frozen shoulder
 
3. Who would you like to be?

I think I'd like to be me, but a more confident me
 
4. What are you wearing right now?

I'm a walking advert for Next. I'm currently wearing a red and beige stripped top, white vest underneath and a pair of comfy yoga trousers, all from Next.

5. What scare you?

The thought of anything happening to my son or husband, or any members of family terrifies me. My friend's daughter died nine years ago and the light just went out in her eyes on that day, and it's never returned. 
 
6. What's the best and worst thing about blogging?

The best thing about blogging is that my blog is somewhere for me to be me, and to be able to connect with other bloggers. The worst thing is that it's so addictive, and I sometimes struggle to fit working, looking after myself and my family, and blogging in to the day!
 
7. What was the last website that you looked at?
 
 I've just been on 'not on the high street' ordering some Christmas presents.
 
8. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

As mentioned in answers to Q. 1 & 3, I'd love to be more confident. I have to lecture as part of my job, and I hate it. I've been on various courses to try and learn how to improve my lectures and how to project myself in a more confident way but it had made little difference.
 
9. Slankets, Yes or No?

I must admit I had to look up the definition of a 'slanket' I had no idea what they were. Now that I'm fully informed, my answer would have to be no, they look awful!
 
10. Tell us something about the person who tagged you:

mammasaver is a wonderfully witty and informative blogger, and her posts never cease to make me smile!
 
Now I have to hand the tagging baton over, I'm handing it over to
