A-Z Of Me

I saw this on Beauty Swot and loved the idea of it. Sometimes it can be a little hard to see the person behind the blog, it’s nice to know a little more about the person who’s rambling what you are reading!

A - Age – 24 going on 74 I think. I’m getting old before my time!

B - Best holiday – The final big family holiday before we all moved away. A week in Whistler (Canada), the Christmas in Vancouver and the New Year in Montreal. Fabulous.

C - Chores you hate – Sorting the cat litter. Ew.

D - Dogs – I always grew up with dogs and love them although I don’t currently have one.

E - Essential start to your day – COFFEE. I need two cups before I regain the power of speech.

F - Favourite colour – I don’t really have one. I suppose burgundy and teal would be the colours I gravitate towards most.

G - Gold or silver – Most of my real (i.e. not costume jewellery) is white gold but both work well on my skintone.

H - Height – I’m 5;6 which is pretty average although I do have the dubious accolade of being the shortest person in my entire extended family, Even my Gran is taller!

I - Instruments you play – As a child I played piano and oboe. These days I just play the fool (oh yeah, dad joke).

J - Job title – I’m not even sure it makes sense so I won’t bother with this. It’s a bit of a non job title.  


K - Kids – None.


L - Live – I’ve lived in various places in England but I was born in, and currently live in, Glasgow.

M - Mother's name – Mum.

N - Nickname – I can think of a few but none are polite.  

O - Overnight hospital stays – Three as a teenager. I was a poorly wee soul.

P - Pet Peeves – People with dry skin on their hands rubbing them together makes me gag. And my husband has a delightful habit of putting meat on a plate to defrost in the fridge, getting it out to cook then putting the plate back in the fridge. WHY?!

Q - Quote from a film – C**********************t. I’ll give you a clue, Ryan Reynolds says it in one of the blade films.

R - Right or left handed – Right.

S - Siblings – One sister and two brothers.

T - Time you wake up – 06:00 most days unfortunately.

U - Underwear – I find it helps.

V - Vegetable you hate – Not technically a vegetable but I cannot and will not eat mushrooms. Even the colour of them looks sad.

W - What makes you run late – My husband.

X - X-rays you've had – Lots!

Y - Yummy food you make – I cook from scratch every day as I have a wheat allergy. I can cook pretty well but I can’t bake for toffee. I haven’t tried making toffee though...

Z - Zoo animal – Penguins. They are the shit.

Have you done this tag? Yes? Wonderful. Please leave your link below ;-)

  1. this was really interesting, might have to do this myself. I have just been advised to cut out wheat and gluten to figure out some health issues, i’m finding it really tough so i feel for any one who has allergies

  4. Aw I hope you find it easier as you get used to it Discovering Beauty. If you need any tips or recipe tricks just let me know! My Dad was diagnosed with Coeliac disease when I was 8 so I learned to cook gluten free.
