7 Things

I have been tagged by Julie of Swedish house to tell you seven things about me.
It’s taken me quite a few days to think of what to tell you about myself.
Here they are.
I am Manx which means I was born in the Isle of Man.
My first job was in a fabric & haberdashery shop, where I was a Saturday girl. I loved it and had always spent my days wages by the time I had finished for the day.

One of my favourite foods is beetroot, Mum was apparently addicted to it when she was pregnant with me so I must have got the liking then!!

My three names are all family related.
Fist Name Sophie – after my great grandmother Sophire which means Beautiful Jewel.
Second Name after my Mother.
Obviously my sir name is from my father.
I hate the Hoover, and have done since I was a small child. Mum says I used to hide from it; luckily Gav always does the hovering!!!



I love having my teeth polished at the dentist, weird I know but totally satisfying. The lovely sparkly feeling you have afterwards is the best.

I have an awful addiction to Diet Coke!!
I can’t go a day without a Can of Coke.
I know it’s bad but it’s my one weakness!!!
Well at least one of my one weaknesses.



So now you know a bit about me, I am going to ask you to share a little of you.

Don’t feel obliged I know we are all very busy people but if you fancy sharing 7 things about yourself that would be lovely.
Have a lovely week
Luv

I don't hate the hoover...but I do loathe and detest the iron and will not stand ironing everyone else's clothes for all the tea in China!!!!
I don't like cats (that'll go down well in blogland!)
I love Marmite on toast.
I'm a bigger footy fan than my other half and can't wait for the World Cup, this summer!
I have a weakness for cups of tea all through the day but the best one is the one which my OH brings at 6am before he goes to work.
Finally, I love steam trains !
Have a great day!

I love ironing and used to do it as a part time job.
I always have strawberry jam on a cheese scone.
I've been engaged twice and married once but never been proposed to. (I'll do a post on that on Valentines Day as I know you're all curious now!
My middle name is Avis. I've never met or heard of anyone with that name apart from me.
I'm a bra advisor for M&S measuring boobs all day, My friends husbands usually ask "are there any jobs going?)
I was once treasurer of a dolls house club.
And finally I always wear red nail varnish on my toes exept when I've been in Hospital (12 times)
Love Lucey xx

Hmmmm.
Here goes - I really really hate spiders, my favourite colour is blue. I have a weakness fo red wine, I've never driven on a motorway because they terrify me (fortunately we don't have any in Suffolk!), I get really grumpy if I haven't got a book to read, I'm learning to play the tenor horn along with all of Y3 at the school where I work and I actually don't like flowery fabrics much (sorry blogland!) - I'm more of a spots and stripes girl!

Lovely to know more about you..Umm sorry Sal's Snippets - I ADORE pussycats and am a complete softie when it comes to anything cat related..
My mother wanted to call me Sophie..But at the time was married to my French/Italian dad and Sophie Fevre was quite a mouthful so I ended up as Pascale- Cally for short- no-one in English schools could say Pascale!...
Thats enough, don't want to bore you but am loving reading about everyone else..
Warm Wishes,
Cally x

Hi Sophie I thought I had better become a follower as we are swap partners for the colour swap so you will be one closer to your 100 target. I am working a double shift today so will come back to chatter tomorrow and get to know you better. yappy xxx
