10 things you don’t know about me
I’ve been tagged by the lovely Chiaki of Chiaki Creates to write this post and hopefully share a few new things you might not know about little old me. I don’t think I’ve shared these facts on the blog before but forgive me if I have (I’m still recovering from a long hen weekend in Brighton!). Oh and don’t forget to visit Chiaki’s blog for whimsical and vintage delights!
- I break into song quite a lot. Don’t be surprised if you hear me humming away to Yazz or T.Rex at any given moment.
- Every night we go to sleep listening to podcasts or the radio. I need noise around me all the time.
- If I’m near anything made from wood I have to knock on it 3 times. Y’know, just in case the world explodes.
- I suffered from an anxiety disorder for a long time. I had to change my lifestyle completely which meant leaving a stressful job after 6 years and moving to Hebden Bridge from the city. I couldn’t have done it without my fella but now I look forward to getting up in the morning, which is pretty ace.
- I’ve done two bungee jumps, both on the same day. I sweared in front of children. Oops.
- I have a mild obsession with Heinz Spaghetti Hoops on toast.
- I love the North. I’ve lived in a few places and travelled a bit but every time I come home to Yorkshire, I pinch myself. I am so lucky to live in the this beautiful county.
- When I’m feeling blue, I turn to my Lord of the Rings box set for escapism. Game of Thrones also helps.
- I want to join a roller derby. Most people think I’m a softy but I when it comes to games I’m competitive (and sweary). I’d love to have a go…
- I’ve been blogging for 3 years now! I don’t really talk much about blogging on here but I can safely say that blogging is the best thing (after my OH) in my life. I have my readers to thank for that so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading this little bit of the internet.
I won’t tag other bloggers but if you’d like to take part in the 10 Things You Don’t Know About Me series please leave a link to your post in the comments section!

I see what you mean about Game of Thrones and escapism. It’s one of the ones I turn to, as well as the Gilmore Girls .

Great things to share with us! I’m sorry to hear you suffered with anxiety problems, but it’s great to hear you are getting past them now.
You are very brave for doing a bunjee jump!

Thanks for sharing this. I used to sing more, I think it would make me happier to sing again.
So glad you have found a change of pace has helped you. We’re considering making some changes too.
And you should totally do roller derby – my friend Vixie over at Matin Lapin started recently and she seems to LOVE it! x
