And lastly but not leastly ;)  I wanted to say a massive big thanks to Nikki for just being mega sweet and also for giving me this blog award :)

To go with this blog award, I have to list 7 things you might not know about me.
Hmmmmm
1.  I have a bit of a fear of water, something to do with me almost drowning when I was little and never learning to face my fear and learn to swim properly.  Therefore when I went for scuba diving lessons a few years ago I kinda freaked out and only did the first fitness test and first lesson and never returned - lots of money wasted - I just felt like Doth Vader with that oxygen helmet thing on lol.  DOH!!!  One day I WILL learn to scuba, I sooooooo want to!!

2.  I have no tatoos, although I always wanted one either on the back of my neck or by my ankle, just a sweet tiny butterfly :)  Don't worry Mum, I'm not doing anything lol.

3.  I have a 3 year uni background in Psychology, I did a combined Psych/ed degree, but when I came to Australia they didn't offer any similar degrees, so only finished my high school teaching degree.

4.  I have been to China, my most memorable trip by far!!

5.  Weirdest food I have had was deepfried bees - very nutty and crunchy hehe.

6.  I am a Seventh day Adventist :)  Which means I go to church on Saturdays :)

7.  My very first piece of published work were some love poems for my (ex)husband.  Hehe :)  And then I got lucky and got a travel piece published about the Tiger Leaping Gorge in China together with some of my photographs, one of my proudest achievements to date!!  I still have the magazine and it happened more than 4 years ago!!

Anyways, I best be going, I still haven't even unpacked and should prob get to bed, Lily is getting up earlier and earlier doh!!!  Tonight is her first night in her own room, so wish me luck!!!
