Six weird things!

Like a few others I have been tagged by Cheryl, to complete a meme which outlines 6 weird things about you. I have been a little slow off the blocks in posting this one, mainly because I’ve been quite busy trying to find somewhere to live here in Wellington, NZ.

So, here goes.

1. The other reason why I was slow about doing this is that I actually found it quite hard to do – I guess I don’t think I’m weird. So, the first thing weird thing about me is that I needed help in coming up with things about me that are weird – my DH was more than happy to oblige.

2. I don’t exactly stick to traditional breakfast foods in the morning. I’ll generally eat what I feel like – sometimes that even means crisp sandwiches!!!!

3. I have maintained a childlike excitement for events such as Christmas and birthdays. This is something I hope I don’t ever lose.

4. I tend to get a bit absorbed/fixated by things, if I am in the middle of doing something and I’m absorbed I will forgo sleep, fun, important things, everything to get finished. I can’t seem to pace myself, I’ll keep going until I fall down from exhaustion. This drives my husband crazy but I also suspect it’s a trait he likes too as it’s what gives me my drive.

5. I’m a perfectionist yet it seems when it comes to my knitting I can live with mistakes (as long as they are not too obvious) without frogging the whole thing back.

6. Despite thinking they are total trash and a waste of my time I watch soaps – all of them, Emmerdale, Fair City, Coronation Street, Eastenders. We are planning on having a tv free household in NZ though!

Ok, is that 6? – am I done?
