My Sunshine Award

I was delighted to see I had an award awaiting my return from school holidays from Mrs K at Taylor Made Baking. That was so nice and it made me smile.

So, seven things about me.

I didn’t meet my father until I was 14. It was the seventies after all!

I am a 5 star or no star kind of girl. If I am going to pay for accommodation it must be at least the standard I keep at home or better. Otherwise I would prefer to stay in a tent with my own sheets and pillow. I love camping and always take some crystal glasses and french champagne. Even Bear Grylls (Man Vs Wild) would be proud of my fire building skills!

I have six sisters. In order of appearance. Karrie, Tamera, Lachana, Gairley, Lilly, Jessica. No brothers. I then went on to have two sons. (Corey and Addison) What a shock that was. Then one girl (Liana)

Extracurricular teenage activities (apart from boys) included: Girl Guides, Navy Cadets, Surf Lifesaving at Broadbeach Surf Club, ballroom dancing.

I broke my first love’s heart and always regretted that. He was so sweet, funny and handsome. I was 16 and stupid.

“I drive a Volvo” are words I NEVER thought would EVER come out of my mouth. However, I drive a Volvo and I do love it. We call it the Digella-mobile or the Heidi-mobile but we say it like the guy on the Yellow Pages Goggo-mobile ad HERE

The two industries I have worked in throughout my career are: electricity generation (last 6 years) and building / construction from when I left school. I miss building peoples homes, designing rooms and kitchens and choosing colours. I had no idea what I wanted to do when I left school, I still don't!

And the seventh thing about me is that I really enjoy blogging and my current daily reading list is below in pictures. Click on the links to the blogs and enjoy, like I do every morning.

and she flatters me when she likes my ideas)

To Ballantyne Park and Back

(because she is my friend, she has great taste in all things life and she needs to blog more.

I check it every day... but she needs to blog more. Did I say she needs to blog more?)

Amy Atlas

(Because she is a great twitter-er and she keeps it real)

Beach Bungalow 8

Have a great weekend :)
