10 questions!

I have been tagged by the lovely Emma over at A Matter of Choice, one of my favourite expat mummy bloggers!

1) Describe yourself in 7 words?  Shy, idealistic, caring, procrastinator, mum, loyal, easy-going.

2) What keeps you awake at night?  Not a lot, Im a very fast sleeper, pillow meets head gone, but if I do wake and start thinking about things that's it, Im awake!

3) If you could be anyone for a day, who would you be and why?  A world class photographer like Peter Lik, because I love his work, which I found while travelling in Australia and I love photography and would love to be better at it.  

4) What are you wearing right now?  Jeans and long sleeve top, on the verge of putting my fleece on, but not quite cold enough right now. 

5) What scares you?  Worries about my children and their future, my finances and the future 

6) What is the best and worst about blogging?  The best thing is connecting with people you otherwise would not have 'met', having an outlet and leaving a record for my children of their childhood years.  The worst thing is worrying about how people will take your posts and deleting or not posting for fear of recrimination and occasionally getting overwhelmed with stats and pressure to write a certain amount.  

7) What was the last website you looked at?  My gmail account as Im waiting for an important email!

8) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?  Be more confident, I hate how unconfident and shy I feel at the moment.

9) Slankets - Yes or No (this divides the blogging world ;-)  Sorry Im still out on this one, not sure.

10) Tell us something about the person who tagged you?  Emma like myself moved her and her young family to another country for a better life, where she doesnt speak the native language, something she struggles with as I do.  Her favourite meal is a juicy steak with blue cheese sauce!

The A to Z of me Meme

I have been tagged by the lovely Emma over at A Matter of Choice, so here is the A to Z of me.....

ANORAK…Do you have a sad side?
Not really that I can think of, except whenever Im out with friends all I seem to talk about are my children.
 

BODY…What physical attribute would you most like to change?
A few of them, but generally Im pretty comfortable with my body, but one thing which my husband especially picks on are my ears! They are a bit sticky out, and in a bad photo I hate them!

CELEBRITY…Which one would you most like to date and why?
Alex O'Loughlin from the new Hawaii Five-0.  

DEBUT …Tell us about your first ever blog post. What made you start blogging?
My first ever post was an introduction post, I've arrived. I started blogging to share my experiences with other mums in the same situation of being an expat mum in Portugal, I found it difficult to find information about parenting and child things and wanted to try and help other mums in a similar situation - hasnt really worked out like that.   

ERROR …What’s been your biggest regret?
I dont do regrets, just life lessons!  

FUNNY – who’s making you laugh?
My children - sometimes they do and say the funniest and strangest things!

GRAND…If we gave you one right now what would you spend it on?
Easy - a fantastic family holiday!! We deserve it, and need a break for a while. 

HOLIDAY… What’s your favourite destination?
Too, too many to pick one!   

IRRITATE… What’s your most annoying habit?
Procrastination, Im always delaying things because.......well I dont really know why! And being forgetful. 

JOKER…Whats your favourite joke {the one that makes you laugh everytime you hear it}?
Dont have one, god Im boring.

KENNEL… Do you have any pets?
Not at the moment, but we would love a dog one day! We always grew up with dogs and the kids love animals. 

LOVE…Are you single, married, engaged, living with a long term partner?
Happily married. 

MEAL… Whats your ultimate starter, main and dessert?
This one makes me hungry....starter would have to be a good prawn cocktail or clams, then a juicy steak with a side of pepper sauce finished of course, with Chocolate Cake!!  Washed down with a good bottle of Portuguese Wine. Yum!  

NOW…If you could be anywhere right now where would you be and who with?
Somewhere far away, in a warm and relaxing place with my husband (who is working away) and my two beautiful girls.

OFF DUTY…What do you do in your spare time?
Spare time, what's that?  But if I had it, at the moment it would be photography!

Something which gives me time with my kids and makes a reasonable amount of money......what's that job called again? Im nearly there!
