Here we go again....

Just when I thought I could get away with doing nothing for the afternoon, I find out I've been tagged by that Chrissie again. Tsk, she obviously has nothing better to do!!!

This time the rules are: List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets. Tag 5 friends and list them. Then, those people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people.

Well, weird things shouldn't be at all difficult, given that I am essentially a completely weird person. Which particular points I wish to broadcast to all and sundry over the jolly old www: well that's a different matter! Oh, and I don't have any pets (tropical fish don't really count, do they?), so I can't fob you off with a tale about them.

Okay, here goes.....

1. I check my bathtowel for spiders each time I use it. This stems from a rather upsetting experience with a very large specimen some years ago, and I still shudder to think of it now. Probably not normal behaviour, some might even say obsessive?

2. I like cheese, and I love bread. However, nothing on this earth would induce me to eat the two togther as a sandwich. Yeuch.

3. When I was at junior school, we went through a phase of wearing our long white socks over flesh coloured tights. The only defence I can think of for this particular phase is that it was Scotland, and we were cold!

4. I am scared of heights. I cannot stand close to the top of a cliff and admire the view without feeling decidedly queasy. Strangely, I love flying. Can't 'do' helicopters, but love planes, the smaller the better. Not consistent, that's my trouble.

5. I hate shopping, especially girly handbag/clothes shopping. To me, this seems a perfectly normal thing, but most of my girlfriends, and certainly my dear sister would think this a strange and odd way to be. Sorry girls, would rather stick pins in my eyes than spend an afternoon in a sweaty changing room trying to squeeze myself into clothes that make me look hideous. Trinny and Susannah?? Don't even think about it!


So, that's me, in all my weirdness. Actually it probably doesn't even scratch the surface....but it'll have to do. Now, I tag Carole, Bobs, Lorraine, Kirsty and Ali. They may, or may not respond......

Later peeps.

I have AB-SO-LUUUUUUTELY nothing whatsoever better to do at all absolutely. Nothing. *Chrissie starts looking sarcastically at Tina*

I remember wearing tights and socks together...vague recollection. Not in junior school though...in secondary school. Was it the fashion?? Dopey fashion - LOL

I am also scared to death of heights but not planes. Don't fancy a helicopter either.

And I can't ABIDE clothes shopping either and nearly nearly put that as one of my weird things.

:D So we're weird together...

erm, if more than one person does/did something, it can't be that weird, right?

Maybe I am normal after all.

Okay, it was a nice thought, just for a moment!!!!
