Tag Revelations Before Lunch

Retired and Crazy tagged me after my last post, so now I feel compelled to reveal 6 things you don't know about me. As I'm at my sister's house with 5 kids and no other grown-ups, I had better be quick. However they're old enough to entertain themeselves (aged 6-14) so I can afford to be ever so slightly neglectful. Here goes, in a hurry:

1. I attract road speed traps like some people attract wasps

2. I am a brunette with a fleck of grey (covered)

3. I met my man in an American movie theatre

4. Some of my friends think I've borderline OCD; I think I'm borderline misunderstood

5. I'm notoriously late unless I make a superhuman effort

6. I love Starbucks marmite and cheese paninis, but have switched from latte to Americano (there was way too much dairy going on)

I may get round to the business of tagging 6 other bloggers later (or I may not). Off now to make rolls for lunch ...

  4. You can't have OCD and agree to look after 5 kids. Just not compatible!

  6. Daryl, I will have to blog that story soon.

    Marmite is one of those peculiar well-loved British institutions that's been around for generations. I bet British ex-pats in NY have their sources. Like PG Tips. In brief, it's a heavy glass jar of strong tasting, thick black yeast extract that people spread thinly on hot buttered toast. People either love it or hate it. I think it rocks. Big G thinks it's disgusting.

  12. I love cheese and marmite, what a wonderful combo! I'm fairly sure that my carers would say that I was borderline OCD as well, things have to be done just the right way, but it is my house after all, and if everything changed with every new carer it would be exhausting!
