by Lindsay to tell you six interesting/unusual things about myself.........as I am the most boring person around, this is going to be hard work.
1. You all know I am British, however I HATE Christmas Cake, Mince Pies and Plum Pudding, basically everything with dried fruit, i.e. currants, sultanas and raisins. Apparently when I was young I ate a few too many mince pies and made myself sick, and have never touched those things again. I am lucky in the fact that dh and both kids also hate the same things!!!
2. I hate flying, actually that isn't true, I don't actually hate flying, my body hates flying and I get terrible travel sickness. It was just plain miserable both on the way there and back from Britain earlier in the year.
3. I used to be quite sporty and was in both the field hockey and the netball teams at school.
4. My dream is to own a house in the country on an acre of land.
5. I have a sweet tooth, and can't get enough of milk chocolate, despite the fact that it gives me migraines.
6. I ran a home baking business out of our home for a while in Britain. I hand wrote and hand delivered flyers to all the homes in our town of around 2,000 people. I was popular with the older people who only wanted 1/2 dozen cupcakes/sponge buns, or smaller quantities of items.
So I am supposed to tag other people, but am hopeless at this sort of thing. So if you are reading this post, then you are tagged!!!! Hard luck.....lol

I only came to have a look at a recipe and I've got tagged! I'm very boring I'll have to have a long hard think for six interesting things.
Yes, little toddlers, I forget the exact age can't handle dried fruit. Yes, I was feeding it to them until I wised up.
The last time I fly to Sydney from Albury the way there I felt awful then I had a tablet and the way back was much better. I suffered from car sickness when I was little.
I can't live, well I can, without my goodies for Christmas and always order a Christmas hamper with those things in it.
Oh crumbs Gill, if you've struggled with this you have no idea how hard I'll find it. Mrs Boring!
Gill: I'm so sorry to have to tell you this but on behalf of the British Government, nay, the Queen, I am going to have to revoke your status as a British Woman.
Not liking Christmas cake, Christmas pud or mince pies is considered Treason and is actually grounds for being locked up in the Tower.
Off with your head.
:-)))
Oh no no no no no, I just stopped by to thank you for the lovely birthday wish. I feel very sure that in the fine print rules that is says if it's your 53rd birthday you are exempt :c} :c}

You and I have a lot in common, I don't really like those things you mentioned either, but love chocolate though it doesn't love me and gives me migraines too. Fun post to find out a few more things about your likes and dislikes.
chocolate also gives me migraines but I love it!
Thank Goodness I am the 7th person to visit! I have not been tagged!
sneak attack-oh lordy. I'm invoking the pirate code and saying parley!!! I can only speak of election news that warms my heart over at my house.
Gill, I love your blog.. thanks for popping over to mine as well
:-))
n I dont think your boring at all... very hard to write about ourselves... you've done well..
I only popped in because have been away awhile and have been trying to catch up. Have already been tagged by Lindsay. Will have trouble finding 6 interesting things to tell all, no hope of 12.
But its fun finding out interesting facts about fellow bloggers. Great idea and great to read your list Gill.
