Ok here are the seven things you dont know about me, although there are loads more

1. When I was 2 I ate a bottle of junior aspirin and nearly died. It was touch and go, and then they told my parents I may be left with a blood disorder akin to haemophilia. Thankfully I did not die, and my blood is healthy. (I am an O too, Craig - good old warriors)

2. I used to be a Tupperware Lady. I ran great parties, with raffles, games and give aways. "Now ladies, who has peas rolling around in the bottom of your freezer - I have just the thing to cure that ..." It was a laugh and I was damn good.

3. I can ride. I used to be pony mad as a girl but ponies and poverty dont mix so I waited till I was 35 to learn. I dont do it as much as I used to but its nice to know I can still put a horse through its paces. I got trampled while riding bareback and that put me off a bit. I still love to canter down a beach.

4. I got the best O level results in Staffordshire when I was at school. They presented me with a big shiny shield on Speech Day.

5. I have been a Sunday School Teacher. I used to get the kids up and doing things like throw blue tack at a picture of Goliath's head that I had pinned right at the top of the wall. Or full scale attacks on the city of Ai (tower of chairs) or annointing Jacob's pillow with olive oil.

6.I was a Director of a limited company. Went from not being able to turn on a computer to understanding and selling the intricacies/benefits of search engine optimisation in a very short space of time.

7. I am a direct decendent of Madame D'Arblay - Frances Burney. My Grandmothers maiden name is Burney. Writing is in the blood!

8. Couldn't resist. My Great Uncle played violin in the Manchester Philharmonic Orchestra. I too play violin (and piano)

So there you go, you know all the unusual stuff - Therapist, Witch, Saggitarian, tarot reader, reiki healer. Unusual is the Norm. So hope those Normal things will come as a surprise.
