Scotty too hottie and me. I met my husband at the "Winchester" Karaoke Bar in Lower Hutt, it was literally LOVE at first sight.

My favourite food is pumpkin, spinach and cauliflower boiled and mashed with sour cream

I own four pairs of sneakers, average prices $8 each, two pairs of jandals (flip flops) and a pair of slippers my daughter bought me for christmas.

I am obessed with the interior design of tiny spaces...

I love the sea although I am terrified of it since seeing jaws when I was a kid, although I made myself swim in it but only with my husband. I always stay on the shore side from him reasoning that if there is a great white shark Scotty will go first...he knows this and still loves me.

The first movie that scared the crap outta me was "Hush Hush sweet Charlotte with Bette David and Olivia DeHavilland, and the song still creeps me the hell out *shudder*

My first full on crush was 'Scott' from the Thunderbirds - it took me a long looooooong time to figure out he was a puppet.

When I was pregnant with my eldest daughter Megan I was addicted to Pixi caramal bars.

My son Nathan was breach and when he was born his feet came out in the taxi on the way to the hospital.

When I was pregnant with Jenna-Rose I ate Watties Baked Beans, apple sauce and pork sausages for almost every meal.

My childhood nickname is bullet, not because I was especially fast but I was bald until I was about three.

I was once a dolly bird back up singer in a band and was on TV, I hope to hell that Video tape has been completely destroyed, but I did look hot.

On a Tuesday in July, I returned home from work to find the house empty of everything except my clothes, my Formula 1 magazines and my toothbrush. Propped up on the mantelpiece where our children’s photos used to sit was a letter from my wife Anna, informing me of her intention to divorce me.

Scrawled at the bottom, seemingly an after thought, was a postscript stating she would be keeping my children and the cat, but we could negotiate the budgie.

I sat on the floor in the centre of my emp...

Pre Launch Madness

Posted by Olivia Giles on Sunday, June 9, 2013,

Right now things are just crazy, I had to drag myself away from another job to write these few words.

The Book Launch is this Saturday and I'm stressing out, the rest of the Dusky Crew are telling me to pull my head in, but I can't help it, having anxiety dreams. It's just crazy. We did a walk through of the venue today, it was so exciting.
Was interviewed for Hutt News on Thursday, and the journo who did had interviewed me before. When I was shortlisted for Huia.

My only diva-ish demand ...
