I’m off in May to the BlogonX conference with my
soul sister, Debbie, so I’ve joined in with their linky link to share a little
about myself and learn about some of the other attendees J The questions were set …….
1. Share a recent photo of
yourself
a. I’m usually the one
behind the camera, but this selfie was taken only a few weeks ago on a weekend
break to Rome with the grumpy old man.
2. What’s your favourite pizza
topping?
a. Being half Italian
I’m pretty fussy, so got to be thin crust with cheese and tomato; and if I’m
really pushing the boat out, then tuna and onion
3. You can have dinner with any
three guests dead or alive- who do you choose and why?
a. No contest, three
of my sons. But one lives in Dublin, one in California and the third in Hawaii
so I only see them once a year, or twice if I’m lucky.
4. Up to now what would you
consider being your biggest life achievement?
a. Oh gosh –
difficult. Professionally it would have been when I built up two day nurseries
from scratch, although being a foster carer has been an amazing experience.
Personally it would be being a Mum, I am beyond proud of where all the boys and
Ella are now.
5. If you woke up tomorrow as a
character from any Disney film or book who would you be and why?
a. The hardest
question. Left it till last. I think Maleficent, but the new Angelina Jolie
version, a badass with a good heart.
6. What is the first thing you do
when you wake up in the morning?
a. If the alarm has
woken me up then press the snooze button and go back to sleep. If I wake up
naturally then it has to be a cup of tea.
7. If you won the lottery what
would be the very first thing you would buy and why?
a. Buy my husband a De
Tomaso Pantera because it’s his dream car, and unless we win the lottery that’s
all it ever will be – a dream!
8. What is your favourite quote
from a movie?
a. This was hard. But
I turned it round and thought, what do I say a lot, so it’s got to be ‘Stupid
is as stupid does’ from Forrest Gump.
9. If you were a superhero what
would your super power be?
a. I would like
Paige’s abilities in Charmed – to be able to move objects through space,
including myself. I hate flying so I could just blink and be there. Plus of
course no hours and hours literally hanging around. Oh – and no luggage
allowance!
10. What is the best piece of
advice you have ever been given?
a. When I was at
primary school I told my mum I wanted to be an actress or work with children.
She told me to be realistic, no-one makes a career of acting. Harsh. But
working with children is definitely my calling. And, when it comes to my acting
skills, she’s probably right.
11. Which emoji do you use the
most?
a. Smiley face J
12. If you could go back in time
and tell yourself anything what would it be?
a. Don’t stand on that
step!
b. Say yes when Dale
asks you out
c. Look harder for
Jeff – turns out we hung around at the same places for years before our lives
crossed
13. What do you currently have set
as the wallpaper on your phone?
a. Mountains, mist
14. If you could do anything in the
world as a legitimate job what would you do?
a. Full time foster
carer – or crafter – or writer – or anything that works around children or
creating
15. Where is your favourite place
in the world?
a. San Gennaro, a tiny
village in southern Italy where my dad comes from. Italian food, mountains,
peaceful, like stepping into history.
I don't think I've ever had tuna on a pizza...
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would like tuna on pizza either!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of being a full time foster carer as a job! I have so much respect for those who foster and can't think of a more rewarding job!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to meeting you at Blogon!
