Blog-Tagged

I have been meaning to update my blog for a very long time and Owen gave me a reason to do so he blog-tagged me.

"The object of the game is to reveal 5 things about you, which most readers probably don't know, then nominate 5 friends to do the same."

Thing number 1
I wore braces (on my teeth not suspenders on my trousers) for 7 years of my life. My teeth were really messed up when i was little and so the dentist had to cut out my last milk tooth that was hanging on for dear life, to make space for my permanent teeth. I wore a retainer in junior school (which i lost many a time in the pool) then proceeded to wear railway tracks in high school (all i can remember was the pain when the orthodontist would tighten them!!). I still wear a retainer to bed to keep my teeth straight!

Thing number 2
When i was 12 we had a guard dog that we only used to let out at night after everyone was home. And the one night it was let out early. I came home (in zim), got out of the car and the dog came for me....i remember standing then suddenly being on the ground. I was rushed to hospital and the wound was bound. Then i came to visit my sister, who was at Bristol university at the time when my wound went funny, i was rushed to hospital in Bristol where they had to operate on me. I had dead skin tissue so my wound wasnt healing. Thye left me with a mssive scar and 12 massive stitches on my leg! All of this happened over Christmas day!

Thing nmber 3
Now this one is a very recent one. i used to hate gerkins but during the summer when i was visiting my brother i was watching the food network and a programme came on tv, on how gerkins are made! THEY ARE JUST pickled BABY CUCUMBERS!! i SO didn't know that till i watched the programme! Now i like gerkins! hahaha

Thing number 4
I can play the harmonica. Is it geeky? well some people might say it is but i dont think so :-) I am trying to teach myself how to play the blues!

Thing number 5
I have six toes on one foot! Grosse hey! ahahh KIDDING!! (i'm struggling to think of the last thing people won't know about me! )
Oh okay here's one. Out of my siblings (two older sisters and two older brothers) I was the only child born in Zimbabwe. Although we all live in Zimbabwe now. My family lived in Zambia for a while before i was born then moved to Zimbabwe in 1983 then i came into the world in !984!

There we have it folks, hopefully 5 intresting facts you did not know about me.
I now have to struggle as i dont actually have 5 other people to tag so will do as man as i can think of!!

I Blog-Tagg: STEVE CLARKE, JESS, DAN, and any other two people that re reading this and have a blog!!

Hey! You certainly wrote that up quickly!

I had the whole braces thing too, but only for 3 years. 7 years is pretty hardcore. Still at least your teeth are still straight - my bottom teeth are now crooked again.
