Thank you to Meg {meggetscrafty} for the tag (my first!) but it has taken me such a long time to respond......apologies.....but things quite often get hectic very quickly round here and before I know it its 4 weeks later....but better late than never i sayTHE RULES
1. respond and rework; answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your invention, add more one question of your own.
2. tag eight other people
Marmite or Jam Marmite for me............I love Jam especially on a Scone but you can't beat a yummy cheese and marmite sandwich
Coffee or Tea? It will always be coffee, I can't stand tea don't even like the smell of it which is not a good thing as my husband drinks buckets of the stuff. Coffee has a wonderful aroma and there is nothing like a Sunday morning with a couple of cups of coffee over the papers.......not that i get that as my children usually interrupt me!
What are you listening to right now? I was listening to Radio 1 but got bored, as i usually do, and instead put on the wonderful Because of the Times - Kings of Leon ......... its such a fantastic album. When my dear husband first bought their stuff a number of years ago i told him to "turn that s**t off" (as he keeps reminding me) but now really do love them. In the car i have 'Off the Wall' Micheal Jackson and in the kitchen i have Smashing Pumpkins ......... it really depends where I am as to what i listen to!!
Whats the best gift you have ever been given? I know it sounds a bit well cliche .... but i do have to say my children.........but if were talking 'material' it would be a gorgeous diamond necklace my husband bought me a few years ago for Christmas it had been a very hard year for me and it was a very special present
What is your favorite ice cream flavour? Has to be Mint Choc Chip from Thornton's
What do you think of the person who tagged you? I love Meg's blog its very inspiring and i think she has a natural way of writing it, she is also so much better at updating than me!! but i am new.....
If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour where would you go? To Kittywell House in Croyde, Devon. We went there a couple of years ago, no kids, and it is so beautiful and peaceful there. Wonderful little shops to look around, fabulous tea shops and a lovely lovely beach.......{dreams wistfully}
Which language do you want to learn? I'd like to learn Italian. Its such a beautiful country and I'd like to spend more time there when I'm old and grey.
Whats your favorite quote (for now)? Life without music would be a mistake - Nietzsche
What is your favorite colour? Erm...well that changes with the wind really. We're currently painting our Lounge a plum colour so I'm having lots of fun finding things to 'go' in the room, especially different fabrics, I wanted something that would work as a living area and also to be a bit more 'grown up' and I think this colour works well
What is your favorite piece of clothing in your own wardrobe? I think it has to be my jeans, i love jeans you can wear them anywhere for anything! I have 'work' jeans, 'going out' jeans, 'school run' jeans, jeans for every occasion they are just so wonderfully versatile i love them
What is your dream job? My dream job would be to run a coffee shop that sells 'things', you know all these gorgeous lovely homemade local 'things' (ornaments, jewelry, bedding, vases, pottery etc) in somewhere like Croyde (I keep trying to convince my husband to move down there...)
What is your worst habit? Its not my worst habit but something I strive to be....which is organised!!
If you had £100 now, what would you spend it on? I think I'd spend it on a lovely day out to the beach with my family with fish and chips.......and some shoes if there was any change!!
Do you admire anyone's style? my friend Tracey has a wonderful eccentric style that I would never get away with, yet she does it effortlessly and beautifully
Describe your personal style? I love vintage style for both my house and my clothes, I enjoy looking around for things when i get the time and always feel very excited when I find what I'm looking for....especially when I don't know what it is! I also LOVE Audrey Hepburn's style, but could never copy it
What are you doing after this? Having a glass of wine in the garden in the evening sun
What are your favorite movies? I love watching movies especially Audrey Hepburn, Marylin Monroe, Doris Day, Cary Grant I can just get lost in the charm, wit and sophistication of these films
What is your favorite fruit? Raspberries
What inspires you? It can be anything from a something someone says to me to something I see or hear, I can't say there is any one thing that inspires me but there is always something that I will draw upon from my everyday life that challenges me or makes me see things in a whole new way that I hadn't thought of, so I suppose I could say life itself inspires me
What is your favorite book? I would love to say its something vastly intellectual or philosophical but my all time feel good favorite book is Pride and Prejudice
Do you collect something? I without realising it started to collect Jugs a number of years ago I have lots of them in various shapes, sizes and colours but I do not have the room for them.....or so my husband says anyway!! I also have a small collection of brooches which I am building on thanks to the various little junk shops I manage to find them in
What is your favorite smell? The smell of stocks is wonderful I have them all over my house (in my jugs usually!) the smell fills the air its lovely and makes me smile
What are you most proud of? my 5 beautiful children
How many times do you press the snooze button before you get up? I'm so lazy if it was left to me I'd probably just turn it straight off but luckily its on my husbands side and I therefore don't have to do it, he's very good and presses snooze a couple of times before he gets up and drags me out of bed!
Cats or Dogs? Cats definitely! I love their snobby manner they really have great characters you have to work hard with a cat before it will accept you, I quite like that
What's your biggest fashion mistake? I can't believe I'm actually admitting to this....but i once had some MC Hammer style yellow trousers.....OMG...how awful!!!
Complete the following: Love is...? something you shouldn't have to work too hard at
I'm going to tag: needleberries , thriftystylishhome , studiomela , shophandmadeuk , swishandswanky , teaforjoy , edenrose , tovadarling
