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.

I went to the hospital today to get hormones checked, omg being 53 sucks. Not funny actually, I have to get some damn exercise, but I can't as my fecked up Thyroid won't let me move beyond 10% of my previous abilities, so until thats sorted, by arse will just keep spreading and I get knackered by rolling over in bed - oh yey.

Heart of the Tapu Stone Trilogy.

Hi everybody,

I know this is probably very "Oprah-y" and "Naf", but I don't give a flying fec through a stained glass window. I am going to start this blog with what I wrote on the facebooks this morning and qualify each point so you - whoever you may be - will know why I am so grateful and also why I write such "Oprah-y" and "Naf" stuff every day.
