Right back to the start........

I have been looking back over my blog during the last week ~ right back to the start ~ where I had no idea what blogging was all about ~ no idea whether I would like it (or still be here almost a year later....) ~ had no idea that there were soooo many wonderful bloggy friends out there in blog land ~ just waiting for me to meet!!



I can remember writing posts and checking in eagerly to see if anyone had left a comment ~ but no one had (tee hee!!) ~ I remember writing the post I have re posted below as a way of introducing people to ME!!

It was originally posted in March 2008 (almost a year ago now!!) ~ so some of the information has changed (ie ~ I am now 38 ~ahhhhh!! and I have finally managed to get my lovely new car!! ~ but apart from that most of the rest is the same!!).



I thought that I would re post it ~ so that all of you who were not here at the start (where the hell were you all ?????? ha ha !!!!) ~ could learn a little more about me now !

(If I am correct ~ Dani was the only person who commented on this post.......about prawn cocktail crisps if I remember rightly.........unfortunately I haven't eaten crisps or chocolate in a long time now.......my life is a little sadder than in March 2008.......but also alot lighter!!).



Hope you enjoy these '100 things!!'.

Happy friday to you all XXXXXXXX
