Ten Things You Might Not Know About Me


(One of these is untrue though. Can you guess which one?)


  1. I can't sleep if I know there is a mosquito in my bedroom. I will pursue it until I can see it dead.


  2. I'm terrifed of cockroaches, but quite like snakes. As opposed to my husband who is terrified of snakes but will happily stamp on a cockroach with bare feet (shudder).


  3. I have an auto-immune disease that requires me to take steroids (totally ruined my chance at participating in professional sport).


  4. As a child (I'm embarassed to say) I sang in Country and Western Music festivals and won several trophies and money prizes.


  5. My Mum and I share a weird psychic thing that "knows" when the other is sick or had a bad night's sleep.


  6. I have a strong sense of justice, which has been known to land me in hot water at different times. My eldest brother Joe used to call me a "rabid feminist".


  7. I got the highest Tertiary Entrance score in my final year at school.


  8. I got a marriage proposal before I met Kelvin.


  9. I love birdwatching.


  10. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

I am tossing up between 7 and 8.
I don't think you got the highest TE score...but then, maybe you did? But if you got a marriage proposal before Kel...you must have been what, 12? Mmmm....Areyou including real romances or primary school playground promises?

Dear Flat Chat
You absolutely did not get a marriage proposal before Kelvin. Or at least you didn't tell me about it. Which means you have some explaining to do. Remember there are to be no more secrets...

PPP, I won't be offended by your comment about the TE, but that is completely true. Ans - I never did get a proposal before Kel.
And Sam, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

Oh it's on now! Jen! 'I don't think you got the highest TE score'?????

And didn't you win something playing the spoons? Or am I imagining that?
