1. My dad was engaged to Sue Lawley when they were at University together. For years my grandma used to keep a Sue Lawley scrapbook and brought it out whenever my mum annoyed her. 2. I got interested in blogs and blogging in May 2007 and now I rarely visit anything else on the internet. Random Acts of Reality was one of the first I found and is still one of my favourites. 3. My auntie is married to an ex-catholic priest. He loved her more than that church, but not God - he's now a Church of England archdeacon and they have an extremely happy marriage - you can never have too much love, you should never have to chose. 4. Both my parents were alcoholics. I'm terrified that one day I will be too. 5. Local government and politics runs strong through my father's side of the family. My grandfather was a Labour MP and went on the Jarrow march, my grandmother was a Mayor as was her father, my great grandfather. 6. Over 5 years ago I was treated very badly by an employer who I had worked hard for. I have never got over it and it has had a terrible effect on my confidence and self esteem. I still dream of retribution. I really need to get over it, or write a list book of revenge! 7. I love to eat toast with Marmite and marmalade spread on top. Try it, it sounds dreadful, but it's a winning combination - it'll change your life!
