35 and 8

today i have reached the grand age of 35.....

happy birthday to me.

i woke feeling happy to be 35 and not on the slippery slope to 40
(that will be the horror of my next birthday )

cakes for breakfast and then one last search for that pesky camera - it truly is nowhere to be found.
i am starting to worry that i have taken it to the shop to photograph stock, left it on a shelf or the desk and someone has hoodwinked it.

i am going to have one last search tomorrow and if pesky camera #1 does not appear than i will be off to purchase a replacement.
i am missing having a camera badly - it is only now that i realise that i use my camera throughout the day - everyday.

so no new exciting pictures to show you today....

instead i have been tiggedy tagged again!!!!

yes you lucky people you get to know another 8 odd things about me - and all 8 odd things will be interrupted by images of stuff

hey before you groan at the lack of thought and imagination (and lets face it interest) - its all I've got.....
go with it
it is my birthday!





#1
i am a nail biter at the age of 35 - always have been probably always will be - it disgusts me every time i look at my hands
the trouble is i do not even notice that i am doing it.



#2
i LOVE being by the sea - but i am petrified of going into water



#3

my parents drive around in a van that used to belong to deep water divers - it has a sliding side door and surfing stickers and logos on it
they look like a couple of surf dudes
how cool is that!
( sorry to tell everyone that mum x )



#4
i am slightly embarrassed by the whole birthday thing - i am really grateful that my family and friends want to buy me presents but i have trouble in opening them
i am not sure what it is but it makes me slightly uncomfortable - perhaps it is being the center of attention for the day that i dislike - after all that is the main reason why i will not get married.
as i write this i still have not unwrapped my presents from today!



#5
i hate hate hate the smell and taste of wine
i know - its a crying shame
but there it is



#6
i am moody
yep - both my mum and Stephen will be nodding there heads in agreement to this one
i blame the fact that i am a cancerian
a grumpy moody homemaker x




#7
i am a fan of blood, death and gore - please do not be scared!!!
i was fascinated by illness and death when caring for the elderly
i happily delved around when autopsies had to be performed at the vets
but i cannot bear violence in films
strange but true.....



#8
i believe in spirits / ghosts
a few things have happened in my lifetime that i just cannot explain
i wish i was brave enough to delve further in to the world of the supernatural but i just would not be able to sleep at night ever again

there we have it
now please note that this is my third list and if i have repeated myself then i apologise
and if anyone feels the need to tag me again then be warned that i am running out of nice and gentle things to admit to!!

i hope to bring you new and fresh pictures later this week as i have the sweetest new (vintage) bag to show
a special package that arrived from two lovely ladies x
a birthday giveaway (angel gem - do not forget to claim your bunny!!!!!)
news of the house in Scotland
gifts to show (if i ever unwrap them)
pictures of my last visit to Dungeness
a countdown to the giant move and closing the shop
and anything else that i can find to waffle on about!

sending happy thoughts to you all
and extra hugs to my mummy xxx
