As a matter of fact!

Blogtober day 18 wants 30 facts about myself… Brace yourself!

30 Facts about me…

  1. I don’t like spoons. The curve of a spoon against the bridge of my mouth really upsets my life. I can handle little tea spoons but anything bigger I tend to swap out for a fork. Ice cream = use a fork, pasta = knife and fork, cake = fork. Yes I am a bit of an oddball!
  2. I don’t like holding umbrellas. I have yet to find an umbrella with a handle/grip that I get on with. I don’t like the sensation of having to hold something high above my head. It doesn’t feel natural to me and so I’d rather get wet!
  3. I have to rub inanimate objects “better”. Now before you send me off in a straight jacket hear me out. If I or somebody else scrapes their nails against something, my mind conjures up an image of deep gauge marks. In order to appease my mind I simply run my hand over where it was and I see it all smoothed out in my head.
  4. I love the sound of car indicators. Not sure why, but the little tick tick tick as I am driving really makes me happy!
  5. I intensely dislike the smell of fresh cut grass. Eugh! is there anything more unpleasant?
  6. My favourite colour is yellow. Think Suzuki Swift Sport yellow (in fact thats my dream car!)
  7. I will buy a book based on the paper used. There is nothing more satisfying than holding a new book in your hand but for me it has to feel right. If I don’t get excited by the sound/feel of the pages in my hand then I will look for another.
  8. I have super small feet. One foot is a UK size 4 and the other is 4.5!
  9. I will replay a song if it is talked over and I miss my favourite part!
  10. My underwear has to match. If it doesn’t I don’t feel as if my life is in order.
  11. My favourite food is noodles, but now that I am trying to cut down on pasta I eat a lot of fish! Salmon is my absolute fave!
  12. I successfully climbed Kilimanjaro despite having had very little training (I would not recommend this way of doing things! Train hard!)
  13. My favourite wine is Malbec.
  14. I still have my first teddy bear – Scruff. He is in good shape and I take him on adventures with me sometimes. I took him to the summit of Kilimanjaro with me!
  15. I dislike the word moist a lot!
  16. I will always choose a hoody, regardless of the season.
  17. I have chronic fatigue syndrome. This hits me in waves and there is no predicting when it will happen. I am very stubborn and tend to push through most of my tired days. There does come a time however when it catches up with me and I crash hard. During these times I do take time to rest. It’s all about finding the balance!
  18. My favourite book is ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’. I remember reading this at school and it stuck with me ever since.
  19. My favourite city in the world is Nashville. I love everything about Music City!
  20. I am a bit obsessed with lighthouses. Byron Bay in Australia is my favourite.
  21. I have a girl crush on Sandra Bullock! Who doesn’t?
  22. Most people call me Sandy.
  23. My favourite Disney movie is ‘The Little Mermaid’. Prince Eric has always been the ‘dream prince’ for me!
  24. I have always wanted an Andrex Puppy. Those beautiful little golden labradors that paraded around on our TV screens promoting toilet paper – I’ve always wanted one!
  25. I have shared a stage with Elton John. Yep – this is the highlight of my life! They let the first three rows up on stage for a song and I was right there next to him.
  26. Another smell I dislike is lavender. Yuk!
  27. I have OCD. I get obsessed with things easily. Sometimes these obsessions run their course and sometimes not… 25 years of Ronan Keating and Boyzone (just saying!)
  28. I like to sleep furthest away from the door. I prefer feeling closed in and secure. Odd…
  29. I don’t like horror films. So don’t invite me to your scary halloween movie fest sleepover! My friend Kirsty was fiend for horror movies and I would sit there with my hands over my face for the most part whilst she ridiculed for being a baby. The ‘scariest’ I’ll go to is probably the ‘Friday 13th Halloween’ movies. Even then… it’s not my thing. Lets watch a good romance instead!
  30. I love marmite. I’ve been known to have egg and marmite sandwiches. Bacon, egg, marmite and cheese. The combinations of that wonderful flavouring are endless…

I can’t believe I managed to think of 30 facts about myself. It took some brain power I must admit. I’d love to hear some facts about you guys – why don’t you give me 3 facts about yourself in the comments?!
