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

You can still do the splits!! I bet your husband loves that. Naturally flexible or do you have to work at it? My daughter tries so hard to do the splits but she is a bit like me. Not very good at it. Nice to hear all about you. I'm sure your Roxette hairdo was a winner with all the boys. cheers

Oh, great reading, & yes, we could power the world if it relied on us talking non stop all day every day. What a great opportunity for us to work together!! Next year will be awesome. You forgot to say things like "i'm really pretty, generous, kind natured, giving, caring & the kind of all round great friend every body needs" . . . so i'll add it!! Love Posie

Oh, you're not a sucker, you just need to loose the "need to please" but i'll toughen you up. Helping at school etc is really important, too few people do it!! Love Posie

Yes the mermaids are at plague proportions in our house.It all started when Django saw a beautiful mermaid somebody had made on the beach when he was nearly two and it has spiraled from there. They are very pretty creatures to have around.
I think you and posie are going to have a hoot together in Canberra. Good luck with it all and you need to post a picture of you doing the splits. Cheers
