Tag team

The lovely Angelique from "No Life without Wife" has tagged me to offer up 8 things/facts/habits. Now I hope I can be as descriptive as Posie!!

1. Newcastle girl born and bred and love the term Novacastrian. My 4 year old actually thinks that is where she is from (born in Melbourne, lived in Seymour, Canberra and now Darwin) So Mummy obviously speaks of Newcastle a lot. Absolutely the best place to grow up.

2. Favourite place in the world at present (can change slightly sometimes) is Chez Leuny. My great friend Annette has a French farm house approximately 45minutes north of Limoges. I spent a week with Annette and her son Archie there last year and it was amazing!!!

3. I was a child bride, marrying my wonderful husband of almost 14 years when I was 18 and 9 months to be precise. He was a Military class mate of my brother and we met when I was 16 but didn't start seeing each other until I was 17 and a bit. Still if our daughter comes home engaged at 18 I think I will freak!!!!

4. When I left school I wanted to go to the Royal Military College and had to wait 12months as I had applied for ADFA in year 12 (my parents hoped I would get a degree but I really just wanted to be a direct entry Officer). In that year I ended up engaged to the Army so that sort of never became a reality. I have had a real miss mash of jobs mainly in the Finance industry, though my best role would be Wife ( Major General Homefront Division) and Mum.

5. I'm a bit of a chatterbox. I do have like minded friends who keep the conversations going in both directions. I'm sure Posie and I keep the world spinning with our in depth revelations about Desperate Housewives and Prison Break!!!

6. Love Harry Potter. Actually had my name on the wait list for the last 2 books and saw Order of the Phoenix on opening day. Sad but true...

7. I can't say NO. You know the person who walks around with "sucker" on their forehead well that's me. It can be a good thing as I volunteer at the local Neighbourhood House and within the school, but sometimes I should stand in front of the mirror practising my "I'm sorry I just can't make/participant etc" monologue.

8. Ohh I can still do the splits at 32. Is that too much information?

Well that is all over the place, but that pretty much sums me up. I love having my hand in a million pockets and moving around the countryside. Thanks for the tag Angelique, I hope to find out more about you and check out the new blog.

Till next time, spread the tag love....Peggy-Jean
