  14. I love 'the kids from fame' ....sad I know but I still listen to it on my i-pod & I was very happy when it came out on DVD
  15. I don't like the cinema... it's too loud & the screens are too big

  2. Wow, interesting facts... you're one of those people that shows up how boring my life has been!!!

    I used to love travelling in the boot of the car too, Dad was excellent for letting us do stuff like that :D

    I'm not keen on the cinema either. Something about having to sit still for that long is just too much. I like watching films at home where you can have a break when you want!

  3. Great post! So interesting, it's hard to know who the 'real' person behind a blog is, and this gave us a little insight. How cool that you went on scooter rallies!

  7. I'm already hooked, it's so addictive. I still have to really concentrate at the moment but would imagine once i've got the hang of it, it could be really relaxing and theraputic.
    Loved your 25 facts, of course i'm always going to picture you as a cider swilling, scooter riding skinhead now lol!
    Take care
    Hugs

  8. I have no doubt that you're a nice girl and I think your facts make you sound fun, not horrible.
    I'm the same age as you and when I think of some of the things i've worn and done I cringe.
