Confessions of a Coffeejunkie (15 of them)

The lovely Jean has tagged me to write 15 things about me, not sure there's anything else you really want to know, but this gave me a great excuse to take a break with a very large mug of coffee :D


1. Things that scare me
This may sound completely paranoid, but I just feel that it would be bad Karma to answer this question. I keep my fears buried very deep, and try not to think about them.

2. People who make me laugh
Victoria Wood
Billy Connolly
Friends and family too numerous to mention
3. Things I hate most
Power cuts
Queues
Cabin fever
4. Things I don't understand
Why Fianna Fail is still in power in Ireland
Why people aren't nicer to each other
How to drill holes in walls
5. Things I am doing right now
Drinking coffee
Writing my to do list
Looking out at the blue sky and sunshine with a smile on my face :)

6. Things to do before I die
Go to a really fabulous ball: to see what all the fuss is about
Go to Paris
See my children grow up and be happy and sorted and settled
7. Things I can do
Live
Love
Smile
8. Ways to describe my personality
Loyal
Pig-headed
Contrary

9. Things I can't do
Back flips : but Angel can!
Drill holes in walls
Be tactful 100% of the time - it's a family problem

10. Things I think you should listen to
Waves
Birdsong
Your kids

11. Things you should never listen to
Bigots
Misogynists
Religious extremists

12. Things I'd like to learn
How to use a drill and other essential skills for single Mums
How to be superwoman
How to enjoy proper grown up books - then I could join a book club!

13. My favourite foods
Almost anything cooked by someone else.
Very dark chocolate
Moules à la crème

14. Beverages I drink regularly
Coffee
Er Cappuccino?
Oh okay maybe wine as well

15. Shows I watched as a kid
No TV as a child, so I like watching kid's TV now!

Three people I would love to see tackle this are:

Jazzygal
Auntiegwen

  3. I love kids tv too. Won't let my kids watch anything that I dont watch myself. That way I know what they are trying to talk about and can join in.

    I know how to use a drill Candi. I have 2 large tool boxes and one very small sewing kit. My husband has to ask to borrow my them.

    And if you want to come to the Masked Ball for free this year (December) be sure to start volunteering for IAA a bit. I can get you in help with the raffle and Tombolar etc. (if we have one, current climate etc) Get the brother over from Wales, book yourself into the Hilton Kilmainham and have a ball! xx

  4. @Foodie Mummy - I just love French food ... and coffee!

    @Jean - sadly no amount of coffee will solve my DIY difficulties..

    @lisadom - I'm actually a bit shy so I think I engineer it so I can't go to these things even when I want to! Now I've put it out there, I'll have to follow through...

  5. @lisadom Also should have said thank you: that is a lovely offer :)

  6. I have no end of bother with my book group :) maybe I'm not grown up enough x I'll put this tag on my to do list and get going x

  7. I love this list...

    I can use powertool but choose not to bother anymore... Prefer to let the house fall down around my ears than do anything about it. I do mentally make a list of things I'd like to do like put up curtain rails etc but my get up and go got up and left ages ago.

    You definitly have to make it to one of the balls chick now you've put it out there you want to go :)

  11. Great list, I can use a drill and can also lay bricks, mix cement and all sorts of things that a girl really shouldn't know how to do!! don't recommend any of them as its crap on the hands and nails!! stick to drinking coffee and request that the universe send you someone to do the rest!!xx

  13. Thank you! Love the list :) I'm currently drooling over the Aldi catalogue for this week. Loads of tool type things on sale (including a drain snake I have my beady eye on...) I'm deffo more the diy in our house. Last weekend I just about bounced out of the car I was so excited to get a strimmer for the garden! Would love to learn to use a drill though...

    I hear you on the books. Always mean to read "grown up" books, but love my happily ever afters too much...

  15. Here from the Blog Gems. Guess what? This very week I drilled holes in the wall to put up a new coat rack. I did it!!

    ReplyDelete

  16. What were you trying to drill? Maybe you should've tried doing that WHILE drinking coffee. I find that coffee does give you super powers. I'm over from blog gems.
