Hey I was tagged....

My cousin Karen has tagged me with a meme ... here it is:

Accent....


My accent is no longer the pure Guernsey English accent I once owned! I left home when I was 17yrs and have since been surrounded by Americans and other foreigners and my accent has become a melting pot of the above influences..... I must point out thought, that as soon as I am with my fellow country men I rediscover my accent and language roots, in some sort of adaptation metamorphosis, magically resorts to the "original settings!!!"

I don´t drink.....


Alcohol either.... just don´t like the taste of wine or beer or the like.... except for a Baileys or Sheridans.. oh actually come to think of it ...I do indulge in cider too... hmmm... but I am really more of a tea drinker... that´s what hits it for me!!!!



Chore I hate...


lots! I especially dislike window cleaning...that has got to be the most boring of tasks and in my house rarely gets done....

Pets

Yes! I adore cats...have 4 females including grandma, mum and 2 daughters... 1 fox terrier called Lady.. an extremely nervous creature... and 2 gold fish...

Essential Electronics

I have to agree that that would be the computer without too much thought... closely followed by the phone and now that my hair is longer.... my hair curler!!!!!!

Perfume


My favourite at present is Jean Paul Gaultier...had it passed on from a good friend... sadly very expensive.... a close runner up is Anaïs, Anaïs by cacharel and the 3rd winner is Hugo Boss woman....

Gold or Silver

Hmm I don´t really know... I have both...but I do tend to wear more "fashion jewelry".

Insomnia

Hardly ever. I thank God that I almost never have problems sleeping...it´s a real blessing... In fact before I had kids I worried if I would even HEAR them because I sleep so deep. But as any mother knows... the mother hearing sense is well alert once your womb starts producing!

Job Title

I am proud to be a Mum which includes: Psychology, Psychiatry, counselling, culinary excellence, interior decorating profie, sports specialist, teacher, arts and crafts connoisseur...hmmm list is endless...

Most admired Trait

Some of the traits I most admire in others are consistency, steadfastness and loyalty.

Phobia

I don´t really have anything in particular... but I am not a big fan of being in big crowds....

Religion
christian


Siblings


I am the last born of 3.... (girl, boy, girl) I think by the time my parents got to me, they got the mix just right....hahahahah!

Time I wake up
During school (I am on summer vacation right now!!) it´s 6:45....am . Now on the holidays it´s usually around 9:00am... I get to stay in bed and read!!!love it!!!


Unusual talent or skill
None really... I can´t think of anything unusual.

Vegetable I refuse to eat
That´s easy.... brussel sprouts! I will eat them if I have to... but they are mega yuk.

Worst habit
Answering before I hear the whole story... or judging before I get all the info. usually with my kids...

Xrays
None.... never broken a bone....


Favourite Meal

I love Indian stuff......


I tag the following people:

spookie
Bunny girl

Demara
Debra

When I was at the Duty Free after coming back from Sydney I went to check out Jean Paul Gaultier, I wanted to know what my cousin smelt like. Hee Hee. It is very nice!

What guidelines do I follow? I've never responded to one of these before. I'm a virgin!

This was such fun to read !!

Ok ... to answer your question about the direct link. When you are doing a post, just highlight the word (or words) that you want to be the link. Then click on the little icon to the right of the icon that changes your font color. (if you hover your mouse over it the word "link" will appear) Once you click on that, a little box will come up. You need to fill in the URL section with the address of the place you want to link to. If you are wanting to link it to a specific post (like when I linked to your cheerios post) you'll have to click on that on the blog and write down the full address to link to that specific post. I haven't found a way to copy and paste. It will let me copy but won't let me paste. If you work that out, let me know how to do it !! Ok ... I hope that is a good enough explanation ! Happy linking !! Bon

Bonnie said...

Oh yeah ... the link will automatically be underlined ... I usually change the color so it stands out even more.

Hi,
I was just cruisin' around people's blogs and found yours through Bonnie's. I love finding blogs from different countries. It's so interesting. I'm sure we'll "talk" again.
