Next Wednesday folks we will be playing…
“I spy with my little eye something beginning with V.”
It would appear that although I had thought I may be a little lonely this week, after being abandoned by himself for his snow-board, you lovely lovely things are keeping me mightily amused. The tags just keep coming.
I have been tagged by both the gorgeous Claire from A Boy with Asperger’s and fabulous newbie blogger From Slummy to Yummy Mummy.
They both gave me a list of questions to answer about myself but to spare you all I am just going to do half of each. Deal?
1. Which five people would you invite to your fantasy dinner party?
Obviously Nigel Havers for his beauty, Stephen Fry for his conversation, Raymond Blanc in the hope that he may dig in with the cooking, Victoria Beckham as she probably wouldn’t eat much and Gloria from A Modern Family…yes I KNOW she is not real but I just love her and my blog my rules.
2. Did you experience the “baby-blues” or suffer from post-natal depression?
Yes. I blogged about this here. W’s birth was extremely traumatic and it has taken me a long time to come to terms with it. I really took a turn for the worse around his first birthday. Good news is that I feel I have now come out the other side and actually the thing that has helped me the most is running. I HATED running before. Weird eh?
3. What was the first record that you owned?
Oh Lord, here we go again…the shame…
4. Are you a working mum or a SAHM?
I work as a laser surgery optometrist. I love my job.
5. Blackberry or I-phone?
I-phone. I am a self-confessed Apple addict.
6. Are you going to Brit-Mums Live?
No! I am gutted as this is the one week I am away this year. I would love to have gone but instead I shall be sunning myself in Greece. Poor me. I will be at Cybher though so am hoping to meet you *points* there.
7. If you won the lottery what is the first thing that you would buy?
A house in Portofino.
8. What is the most amazing thing you have experienced as a result of your blog?
Meeting all of you. And, without doubt, the support I received via the blog and privately as result of this post. Oh, and having Davina McCall reply to, and favourite, one of my tweets. That really made me smile.
9. Do you think with your heart or your head?
My heart.
10. As a blogger do you ever help the promotion of certain charitable organisations?
Yep. Breakthrough Breast Cancer and will be running the Race for Life in support of Cancer Research UK later in the year alongside the delightful Cat from Yellow Days. Be warned. We shall be after your wallets pretty soon!
11. If you entered Britain’s Got Talent what would your act be?
Mahahaha…..NO idea.
12. Name one blogger who regularly inspires you.
My darling Motherventing. As awesome in real life as online. I always have a sore throat after our nights out as don’t seem to stop giggling. Or gossiping. She is just lovely.
Now for part two, my choice of questions for the unlucky twelve I choose to pass this on to…
The lifestyle section:
1. Favourite book?
2. First famous crush?
3. Worst film ever watched?
The food and drink section:
4. Red or white?
5. Chicken or fish?
6. Still or sparkling?
The bloggity-blog section:
7. Favourite post written by you?
8. Favourite post read in the last week?
9. The blog you think we should ALL be following?
You are nearly there. Deep breaths. The FINAL section:
10. Favourite song?
11. Your best joke?
12. Mahahaha…..you are done!
Now, before I pass this on to the delightful dozen, the rules. RULES people RULES.
Now for my chosen twelve… *drumroll*…
PHEW…*collapses*
The Grenache grape is the most widely planted grape for red wine and enjoys a somewhat mixed reputation, perhaps due to it’s sheer abundancy. Although sometimes reviled it actually forms over 80% of the extremely popular and celebrated Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
It requires hot and dry conditions and this particular red is made from the old Grenache vines of the Côtes Catalanes in the far south of France. It is a medium bodied, silky red and has a deep fruity flavour, mostly plum, with an almost dark-chocolate after taste.
This type of deep red will stand up well against a hearty, meaty meal. It makes a wonderful accompaniment to roast beef and would do well alongside a lamb hot-pot or hearty stew. It is a winter red for sure.
This bottle is currently on offer in Tescos for £5.55 and, at this price, it would be tempting to stock up with a few and put them away to have with your Christmas dinner.

Ok buddy.
Daddy has gone boarding in Italy for the week.
That means it’s just you and me.
You know I am not great in the mornings don’t you?
“This week baby I promise to try and be a little more awake at breakfast times, if you promise to try and sleep past 5am. Deal?”

Another tag. YAY!
*Reads rules*
Oh.
This one came my way via the wonderful Slightly Suburban Dad. I heart his blog verily but am not sure I want to share all of this. So, be warned, SOME parts may be a lie.
First Boyfriend:
Alessandro. My primary school sweetheart. I bumped into him on Christmas Eve a few years back and he is still just as lovely as he was when he was seven. Great guy. Italian. Kind of. Introduced me to his wife as the first girl he ever proposed to. He wasn’t kidding. He had nicked all the plastic money from the reception class to buy my ring. He was destined for great things. He is now a Mafioso.
First Person I Kissed:
Alessandro. What? Kiss-chase doesn’t count? There must have been others in between but the first kiss I gave, that I really meant, would have been Matt. I am sure it was terrible. He was a boy that I loved then and still love now. My best friend. Then and still now. Lord knows why as he cheated on me back then with “thunder-thighs” but he had a very cheeky smile and let me beat him at pool quite a lot so all was forgiven.
First Job:
Chamber-maid. It was a B and B. They weren’t exactly ‘chambers’. LOVED that job. I was also receptionist, bar-maid and occasionally cook. Weirdly the guests used to tell me all sorts. I met a Russian spy, a member of the House of Lords and was bought a G and T by a minor Royal.
First Pay Packet-What I Bought:
I actually know the answer to this one. A god-awful cream-beady-hippyish top. Because I was meant to be a traveller. Honest. It was from C and A. THAT is how old I really am.
First CD I Bought:
Mahahaha…first album that I bought was on vinyl. Brother Beyond. I’ll speak no more of this matter.
First Holiday Abroad:
My first overseas trip without the folks was a mid six-form jaunt with the delightful Cat from Yellow Days to Turkey. It was …… mmmmm ….. errrrrr ……. TERRIFYING. Not Cat. She was ace. But also very blonde. We were harassed pretty much night and day by the local fellas. If ever I have a mid-life crisis I will be heading back out there.
What Age Were You When You Left Home:
Eighteen. Went to Uni in Cardiff then lived in Swansea, Reading, Cardiff again, Dublin, Cardiff again and now Bristol.
Phew. So there you have it. Now I tag…
MAMMASAURUS! There has got to be a good tale or two there!
AND Cat from Yellow Days…sorry.
