Getting to Know You : Meme

Yikes!!! I have been tagged to do a post by the lovely Mistakes of the First Time Mummy
I have been been trying to work out how do do that said tag for most of today.....
A nice lady has been helping me on the BritMums site....ha see I'm getting good at it now!!
About half an hour ago I realised that said lady was in fact Mistakes of the First time Mummy....
Who had tagged me through Twitter!!
Oh dear...will I ever get the hang of this!!!!!!
Anyway I shall stop deveating and get on with it shall i?

Here are the rules:-

1. Post 5 random facts about yourself
2. Choose 5 other deserving blogs with less than 200 subscribers to nominate and link their blogs in your post
3. Tell your nominees you have chosen them for this award by leaving a comment on their blogs
4. Answer the 5 questions the tagger has asked you and ask your own 5 questions to the people you nominate
5. No tag backs

Alrighty then!!
My 5 random facts are:
1. I suffer quite badly with OCD. It is a horrible mental disorder that I have had for quite some time now. Some days are better than others and I need to keep my mind occupied which is one reason I started blogging.
2. The last thing I do each night is check on my two babies..not because of OCD, but because they are the two most precious things in my life and I always want to make sure they are okay.
3. I used to be a model! Blimey I know!
4. I've got fat thumbs! Hereditary apparently. My mums are worse than mine and Amy's are better! Phew!
5. I'm an Essex girl and very proud of that fact..and before you ask, no it's nothing like THAT show!!

Here are the questions posted to me by Mistakes of the First Time Mummy

1. If you could go anywhere in the world where would you visit?

I think it would have to be New York at Christmas. But it would have to be just like it is in all the films!! I love that idea.....Me and my husband and children all dressed up in Winter garb, clutching parcels wrapped in brown paper and string...with our noses pressed up to the fantastic displays in Bloomingdales, listening to Santa ringing his bell in the foyer...
I've heard it's actually nothing like that, but shhhh, a girl can dream!

2. What is your favourite type of cake?

Carrot every time! But it HAS HAS HAS to have raisins in it!

3. Would you rather: Travel back in time or forward to take a look into the future and why?

Definitely not forward. I might see something I'd rather not know about. I'd go back, back to
1985.
I'd tell the 13 year old me that she's ok, that she is good enough, that she's not fat and doesn't need to
go on that diet that will change the path of her life.

4. Who is the most influential person in your life.

My Dad, without a doubt. I always talk through everything with him. We call him the Oracle.
I wish I could be more like him. Nothing ever seems to phase him and he just gets on with life,
Whereas I seem to struggle and kick at every turn!

5. What do you enjoy most in life?

Those priceless happy moments, when my husband makes me laugh so much I wish I'd done those pelvic floor exercises!
When my children smile and are content.
Cuddles, lots of cuddles!
Time with good friends who listen and dont judge
Those moments you wish you could replay again and again!!

I enjoyed that!! Hope you did too!
Now to find some bloggers to tag.
