In the meantime, I received a blogger award.....yeah!, I hear some of you cry.... bugger off, Helen McGobby, I hear the rest of you cry, this French onion soup is never going to happen, is it, you wee Scottish... person.....from my lovely friend over at AC's Scrapbook. The award is the Honest Scrap Award and I am obliged, therefore, to list 10 honest things about my wee self.

1. It's already taken me 10 minutes to think up two honest facts about myself; is that because I've already told you everything?
2. I'm happy turning 40; it's another year closer to the kids growing up and having their mum around...
3. ...my biggest fear is not being around for my kids whilst they are still young. But we all have that fear, don't we?
4. Despite my reputation to the contrary which in this country, isn't a bad thing, I really don't drink that much at all.
5. I never feel intimidated by other people which isn't always a good thing as I've found out to my peril.
6. I don't like going to the cinema with friends incase I have to silence kill them for talking; this is the only time you will see evil in my eyes.
7. I'm really, really scared of the Daleks. *shiver*
8. I check under my pillow for spiders every night. Once, Brian placed a little picture under there of a wee spider with a speech bubble saying "Boo!" and a big stupid smile on it's face. A little bit of Brian died that night....
9. I won the lottery...all six numbers once. For two minutes, I was a multi-millionaire. Unfortunately, it was an April Fools Joke by my quite-frankly-I'm-surprised-he-is-still-alive husband who expertly pulled it off. Oh yes.
10. I jump out of my skin at least three times a day, much to the amusement of my family; always ready to fight and defend, you see.
