11 things about me

  1. I would love it if animals could talk, and if life was like 'The Muppets'- what could be better than going to the bank and finding a bear was serving you. Also, imagine people's wedding photos- a little family of rabbits among the guests, human, human, badger.
  2. When I was growing up, we had a breakfast bar in our kitchen but my Mum only had 2 mismatched stools, one was a tall stool which made you hunch over your breakfast, one was a really short stool that made your nose level with the breakfast bar- this was how we ate breakfast for most of our childhood.
  3. I am Welsh.
  4. There is one thing I would really love to do: rent an apartment in New York for a month and 'live' there- to see what it would be like.
  5. I have always wanted a dog- and now I have got one!
  6. I am writing a book.
  7. I make very good Welshcakes which are almost as good as my Mum's but not quite.
  8. If I ever got the chance, I would like to meet Oprah as I think she is very inspirational and several things she has said on her show have made a real difference to how I see the world and my place in it.
  9. I think 'Bringing Up Baby' is one of the funniest films ever and although I have seen it lots of times- I can always watch it again and laugh as much.
  10. For many years, I have been on a quest for the perfect planner- and this year, I found it!
  11. My favourite book when I was little was 'The Box of Delights' and I loved it so much, I covered it with wrapping paper to protect the cover!
Now for Karen's questions to me:

1. What is your ideal weekend?
It would definitely involve the following: breakfast at a lovely cafe or coffeeshop, a cinema visit, meeting friends for dinner, shopping at a big mall with money to spend and time to read lots of magazines and books.
2. Favourite colour?
I like bright colours, that all clash together.
3. What super power would you like? 
Without a doubt- teleportation. Imagine being able to go ANYWHERE immediately.
4. What are your passions?
Working to be happy and enjoying every moment of my life as it is. Trying to work out how I can fulfil my dream of holding a baby chimp.
5. What is your favourite animal?
Panda/ Otter
6. Flats or heels?
Flats- I would love to wear heels but they make me walk like Mrs Doubtfire.
7. If you had £1000 to spend on yourself alone what would you buy?
A holiday

Oprah or Elvis

One or two small print dresses with sleeves
11. What makes you laugh?
Everyday conversations and the funny quotes that happen incidentally in conversation. On TV- Modern Family, Psych and anything with Ricky Gervais.
My Questions for tagged guests:
  1. Who would you invite to a dinner party, living or dead?

    I would love to see this Mrs. Doubtfire walk of yours.
