Lost my virginity at 23 to DH

I cried in the shower this morning so no one would notice

I'm fluent in 5 languages - 6 if you include bullshit

1: I can lick my own elbow
2: I am a professional storyteller
3: I have 45 letters after my name, but only 14 letters in my full name
4: I was on the News at Ten when I was 3 years old
5: I can raise either eyebrow individually, and cross either eye individually too

Mrsjay I can tell the time within 5 minutes without a clock too. I think some people have very accurate body clocks.
I can also wake up at any time of my choosing without an alarm.

DH does the time thing by looking outside.

I too have been to three universities and am naturally immune to TB.

I am a cub leader but have cripplingly low self confidence and spend every weekend psyching myself up for Monday night's session, today is particularly bad as tomorrow I have to lead the whole activity.

I've known my DH since two weeks after my 16th birthday (he was still 15) and we've been together since a couple of weeks after his 17th.

One of the nicest things someone could do for me is bring me flowers.

I lost my sense of smell following a head injury when I was 18. It's started to come back now but there are still days I can't smell anything.

I would rather read with a glass of wine than go out drinking.

Think I am immune because my mum is a carrier.

1) I like cranes - those tower jobbies that swing slowly and gracefully over city building projects

2) On a windy day, I run the risk of being 'goffered' as I leave my front door

3) I won a piano sight-reading trophy when I was twelve

4) If I place my hand on a flat surface, I can raise the end section of my fingers to an angle of approximately 45° - with the middle knuckles still touching the surface

5) I live around the corner from a moderately famous 70s/80s Grammy nominated musician

I have no sense of smell, it's caused me real bother in the past. Pregnant at the time, didn't know we had a gas leak.....lost my baby at 6 mnts pg.

1. I have a phobia of raisins, currants and sultanas.

2. I cam smell when people are about to come down with a cold or sore throat. Not just my own children, it works for anyone.

3. I was an extra on Grange Hill once.

4. I have never worn heels.

5. I can also raise each eyebrow independently, and use this talent to warn my children if they are going out of line. They call it "parenting by eyebrow".

I had my BCG vaccination aged one (before staying with a relative with TB) and when tested at 11 and again at 21, was still immune.

Oh devientenigma

I was a day old when I had my BCG vac and when my grandad died of cancer and TB when I was 21, I was also still immune.

I am wearing purple ballet shoes and turquoise socks.

I have a headache.

I forgot to buy benecol spread in my last shop.

I bite my nails.

I used to prefer white wine but since having DC I'm all about the red wine.

(They didn't have to be interesting facts did they?)

Thanks catgirl was nearly 17 year ago now. Mind it's also caused some funny times. Like when mothers sniff and know there DC has a dirty nappy and I had to go searching down.

devientenigma, how awful.

We call that sniffing for truffles in our house

well by me looking must make me greedy

it was at the time notime
