21st Century Mummy tagged me. Here’s 8 facts about me….
1. Writing Lists
I am mildly obsessed with writing lists. Shopping lists, to do lists, master to do list, blogging to do list, you name it, I have a list for it.
2. I Collect Notebooks
And what would all obsessive list makers collect? Notebooks of course. Lined, blank, fancy and plain, I love them all.
3. 2nd in Cross Country
In first year of high school we had a ‘Fun Run’ which was actually a fairly gruelling cross …
