I thought that reeling off all 100 in one sitting might be a
bit much, though. I don’t want to bore
you to tears, make you go cross-eyed, or put you to sleep! So, instead, I’m going to do this in four
parts – 25 facts per post.
And here we go with the first lot:
1. I’m a primary school teacher (teaching Reception
at the moment)
2. I keep a note book, especially for recording all
the funny things I hear the kids at school say
[this is the book - if I ever need cheering up, reading through some of my little notes guarantees a laugh]
3. Over the years, I’ve considered the following
alternative career paths: princess,
ballerina, trapeze artist, and author (not sure I'd be any good at the last three, but I'm sure I'd make a great princess)
4. I tried snowboarding once, but couldn’t even
stand up
5. I’ve tried skiing more than once, but each
lesson ended in tears (mine – and quite possibly the instructors’ too)
6. Despite the above two points, I LOVE ski
holidays (for the snow, hot chocolate, tobogganing, horse-drawn sleigh rides,
and après-ski fun)
7. I LOVE cruise holidays too.....
[sailing out from windy Southampton with a glass of champers]
8. ..... even though I’m terrified of the sea (and
any water that comes up above my knees)
9. I LOVE fish & chips (but only from proper UK
fish & chip shops) – it’s the food I miss most, living abroad
10. We’re both English, but have been living in
Germany for 9 years
11. I often laugh so much I cry and can’t breathe –
fun AND worrying at the same time!
12. I used to be a proud band geek (I played the cornet in
a brass band)
13. I also used to play the saxophone.....
14. ..... and the keyboard (which is the only
musical instrument I still own)
[sadly, it's 'out of order' at the moment, because the adaptor blew up..... I think it was just sick of my awful playing!!!]
15. My favourite subjects at school were English and
History.....
16. ..... and my least favourite were Science and
Maths
17. My most detested household chore (and, unfortunately,
Simon’s too) is ironing
18. My favourite styles of music are Southern rock
and blues
19. I prefer dogs to cats
20. My favourite drink is tea
[yet another empty cup of tea]
21. I rarely drink coffee
22. I love Italian and Greek food
23. I'm a VERY fussy eater!!!
24. I love to try on big, posh wedding hats in
department store
25. My favourite colour is red
25. My favourite colour is red
[some of my little, happy red bits and bobs]
Well, that’s it for today!
Now you all know me a wee bit better!

This is such a fun post!! I love your idea of keeping a notebook specifically for things kids say! When I was nannying I tried to write down a lot of the funny things, but when I did they were never in the same spot... this is brilliant! The photo of the red bits and bobs is soooo good! Can't wait to read the next 25 facts!
ReplyDeleteKate :}

Hello sweetheart Carly! What a delightful post! I loved learning more about you dear friend! I am so happy to see a photo of you! You are so gorgeous!!!!! I look forward to reading more!!!!
ReplyDeletePS~ Is your sewing machine working okay? I hope so! Oh, I found a fabulous sewing book at Barnes and Noble the other day. I thought you might like to know the title since you mentioned you wanted to sew clothing. I love this book and it is really helping me! I stayed up a bit late reading it! It is called Chic & Simple Sewing. This is the US amazon link, but you can see some of the inside of the book to find out if it is something you would be interested in. I am going to make the baby doll top! Much love sweetie! xo~Paula
