The 10 Honest things about me are:

1. I am the eldest of 3 children and as a child I used to wish I was an only child. I then got over that and wished that I only had the 1 sister like everyone else I knew - my sisters are identical twins!! It is all good now and I am happy with the 2 that I have.

2. I hate heights, seriously hate heights. I find ladders stressful, hate balconies and watching people on roofs or mountain tops on TV makes my palms sweat.

3. I read the obituaries first in my local paper (an old habit from working in a Pharmacy that supplied drugs to 6 local nursing homes).

4. I am addicted to the food channel UK TV Food on Sky. I love to cook so much, but I love to watch other people cooking more.

5. I have a memory that scares my bf, as it is so good. I can remember the tiniest things - I remember what he was wearing the first time I saw him. I also remember what we both wore and ate on our first date.

6. I can not stand noisy eaters or people that smack their lips when they chew chewing gum - I sometimes have to tell them that they annoy me as it can put me off my food.

7. I hate Maltesers!!!

8. When our house got broken into I was crying like a baby as I could not find my beloved Chloe Paddington bag and thought that it had been stolen - turned out that the wardrobe was just such a mess that I did not see it. The mess was made by me, not the theif!

9. When I try on sunglasses, hats, headbands, scarves I do a funny little pouty thing with my lips that makes my family laugh - a LOT!

10. As a child I had an imaginary friend. I would only talk to her on the second step of our hall staircase - it was Mrs Goggins from Postman Pat.
