Ok then: 5 Things January 30, 2007

Posted by Jen in : Bits and Pieces, Journal, Writing Bits , trackback

I was tagged recently to write five things that people don’t (generally) know about me. So, here you go:

I have quite skinny legs - similar, in fact, to my dad’s sparrow legs and string-width ankles. As soon as I get back from work, I rip off my suit and put on black thermal pj bottoms and one of lovely bf’s massive, massive fleeces. They come down to my knees. My skinny, drainpipe pyjama’d knees. I therefore look like Max Wall in drag. Gorgeous, I tell you.

Um… I applied for a job in a swanky law firm once. They called my then boss for a reference. He had been out for something of a liquid lunch. His reference?

‘Oh, I can’t speak highly enough of her,’ he said. ‘She has great tits and she can really hold her drink.’

Strangely enough, I didn’t get the job.

I am a secret Emmerdale watcher. I love it. I even record it. Sad, I know. I don’t watch stuff like Harry Hill’s TV Burp though. Oh, ok, I do. Bugger, you caught me out.

What else? Oh, in the privacy of my own home, I drink sherry. Maiden-aunt type sherry - Harvey’s Bristol Cream, in fact. I know. The shame. Part of my drinking addiction is due to confession Number 5, which follows hereunder.

Lovely bf is not lovely at all. He is a geek, a freak and, in his most recent display of splendour, a dancing coat hanger. Evidence below. Please, believe me, I had no idea when I started going out with him. You DO believe me, don’t you??

Oh my. That hipster shuffle is slightly disturbing yet also slightly liberating. Is he really really your lovely bf?

Ha! I see your maiden-aunt-sherry, and raise you port! Straight from the bottle!

Is official: I have no shame.

Caroline - Disturbing just about covers it!! Yeah… he really really is.

KW - Straight from the bottle!?!?!?!? Gawd, woman, we should party!

my 7yr old ds thinks the hipster shuffle is cool. Didn’t know why I was chuckled the whole way through:-)

I developed a tast for sherry when I was pregnant with ds1, but not too sweet it gave me heartburn! Still love it though.

Sherry rocks. Well, wriggles a little, perhaps…

My kids thought the film thingummy was hilarious. Maybe it’s a boy thing!! :0)
