I have just been 'tagged' by the lovely Sue G (Thank you hon...my first proper tag!!). So, now I have to try and think of six random things about me then tag another six people to do the same!! It is not as easy as it sounds......First I need to include the instructions so the people I 'tag' will know what they need to do -
1. Link to the person that tagged you - i.e. me
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. Write six random things about you in your blog post
4. Tag six people in your post
5. Let each person know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog
6. Let the tagger know your entry is up.
I have just spent ages trying to come up with six things that are interesting but alas that proved too much for me so I'm afraid that your just getting six things :-)
1. I love cooking but am ridiculously intimidated by some recipes. I am quite happy to cook a curry completely from scratch but the thought of making lasagne terrifies the living daylights out of me!! It's the bechamel sauce that does it - I'm convinced that I will end up with gallons of lumpy inedible gloop!!
2. Since I'm already discussing cheesy sauce I might as well tell you that I have a mild allergic reaction to some cheeses. I can't do really strong cheese or hard cheese.....they make me all shivery and cause me to pull my 'Cheese Face' which involves much gurning, shivering and hand flapping (Not my best look but very amusing to all observing!!)
3. I can't frown!! No, really, I can't....my eyebrows point blank refuse to go into the frowny position. This is not a good thing cause when I'm mad Chris just thinks I look cute and ends up laughing at me which then makes me laugh......There I am trying to be all mad with him and I end up giggling!! (I'm not very good at being angry!!)
4. The first time I was ever drunk was when I was three. My Mum and Dad held a dinner party and, once everyone had gone through to the dining room, I went round and drank what was left in their glasses. I then went into the dining room with a big silly grin on my face, announced that I had been drinking their juice and then proceeded to sing Beatles songs for an hour before passing out!!
5. When I was little my Dad hung a stuffed toy parrot above my bed so that when I lay down it was right above my head. He then told me that it would shit on me if I got up in the middle of the night........ (Ha, that'll teach you for telling everyone the welly story Dad.....revenge is mine!!)
6. I sometimes have, what my husband refers to as, 'donut moments' (I will explain that in a minute). These are moments when I really should engage brain before opening mouth. I shall give you an example.....I had been out shopping and had seen something that I wanted to buy, can't for the life of me remember what the hell it was but anyway....., I was telling Chris about it and I said 'It was a really good price too - they had it on special offer. You could buy one and get one free or get two for the price of one!!' My lovely husband looked at me and then pissed himself laughing.......he refers to me as 'donut' cause he reckons I have a hole in the middle where my brain should be!! (I choose to look on it as a term of endearment!!)So there you have it. Six random facts about me........

Hmmm, thanks for the tag but I have already done this one 3 times over the past year. I will try to combine the 3 and do a lazy Sunday post or something maybe. Loved reading your facts, esp the drinking one and the parrot one.
Sorry DJ - I didn't realise you have already done this!!
Glad you enjoyed my facts....I really struggled to come up with six!!

I think we could go to Social Services with this post :) I can't cook anything but pasta. Lasagne is loving referred to as my 'pulling dish.'

Hahahaha.....so what we need to do is get together - you can teach me how to make lasagne and I'll teach you how to make a curry!!

These are great. Your dad's threat is hysterical -- talk about a donut moment. (I may have to lovingly appropriate that saying from you). But I won't mention the cheesy face picture. Really, I won't.....
So funny:-)
I'd like to see to your gurning face combined with your cross face!
Now - a drunk 3 year old and threats of parrot poop? I think Caroline may be right!:-)
(and I agree about Lasagne. I'd rather make a curry any day!)
Sue - The funny thing about it is that he has absolutely no memory of telling me that!! Ha, your welcome to pinch the donut moment although when Chris read this post he said that it's not so much a donut moment as a way of life!! (Cheeky bugger!!)
Lane - No no no....gurning face and frowny face would not be a good combination.....I would probably spontaneously combust with the effort!!
(I'm so glad it's not just me with the lasagne thing!!)

Carol and Chris, thanks for the tag, it was harder than I thought, mines posted. Debs x
It was Dubonnet - I bet you haven't tried it since! You didn't actually pass out, (after making sure you were alright) we just put you to bed - really to avoid subjecting our friends to any more Beatles songs - you can have too much of a good thing!
You were very entertaining - some things don't change!
Love Mum xx
Now that's really spooky. I got drunk on Dubonnet when I was three. We were playing hide and seek and I hid in the hall cupboard and finished off the bottle. Debs x
Actually, you already got your own back. That rubber parrot you and Chris left the last time you were here has shit all over my computer. A veritable Trojan parrot!
I love the expression donut moments. I'm still laughing.
The Lehners - Your welcome!! It's not easy coming up with six things is it!!
Mum - I have had Dubonnet since!! (Didn't know it was Dubonnet that I had drunk!!). We got it at the end of a meal in a Nepalese restaurant...it was in a shot glass and had cream on top - they called it a Nepalese soldier!!
The Lehners - Hahahaha. OMG that did make me laugh!!
Dad - Revenge is mine mwaaaahahahah.......
Debs - I love it too.....when it's not being applied to me!!

Awwww, the parrot one is the best, must try that with the kids.
Thanks for the tag, I too have done it a couple of times over the past year. I will tweak it a bit, if you don't mind and post something on my blog.
I've done it, honeybears. H
xx
Hullaballoo - I was pretty sure that the parrot wouldn't crap on me in the middle of the night but not sure enough to test the theory!!!
Didn't know that you had already done this but am now going to pop over to your blog to see your answers :-)

Thanks for the tag hon.. unfortunately I don't have a computer any more to spend the time on it! Knew about the donuts, you donut! Love that expression :-)
Hi Carol and Chris, I have come via Debs Lehners blog. I have really enjoyed looking at your blog, my husband and I spent our honeymoon in Thailand, and had a wonderful time. I love the donut moment bit! :-) Debra x
Carol, I've finally done my meme. Thanks hon.
JJx
Mel - That's no excuse!! You told me yesterday that there is an internet cafe along the road from you that only charges 20 baht!! (Only kidding - no worries hon!!)
Debra in France - Welcome to the blog and I'm very glad you like it!! Thailand for your honeymoon must have been wonderful....it's such a magical place!! (Am about to pop over to your blog for a nosey)
JJ - I know you have done it before so thank you for being so kind as to do it again!! Look forward to reading it :-)
