  1. I love these posts, I’m so nosey! I did 25 a couple of weeks back but that’s all I could come up with ha.
    I love that your baby is already better travelled than me, and share your fear of childbirth – I’ll be Caesareans all the way!

  3. Yessss lets all move to Canada together!! aghhh child birth!!callums mum wants tok get us nct classes so we “know what to expect”,I don’t want to know,I just want to get through the bloody thing in the least amount of pain possible!!!xx

  4. These are great facts! You wouldn’t believe how many children I’ve com across in teaching who really think the world was black and white! I also did tap and jazz but only til I was 14 and I never did ballet after I got told my toes naturally stick up too much and i’d never be any good! My ankles still click everytime I move. I also have the worst immune system which isn’t good when I work with young children who cough, sneeze and constantly pick their nose! I hate any sport: watching or playing but this could be because unlike you I am very competitive and hate losing which would happen a lot if I actually played any! Oh and Tammy Girl was the best!

  5. These have been my favourite posts to read of late as I feel you can really get to know someone! Your facts are really interesting and I love how well travelled you are (read – jealous haha). My ankles and knees click from doing dance when I was a kid and I find I get such bad cramp now. I swear all the time too.. bad mummies 😉 And yay someone else with a crap immune system! I’ve had a cold for nearly a month now.. boo hoo!
