3. Mention 7 random things about yourself:

1.  my grey hairs are coming through so having a debate (with myself!) on whether I want to dye or grow old gracefully!
2. Lulu, our 2 year old Labrador, has a scar on each cheek where our older dog Poppy has snapped at her when she was a puppy (I hear you all saying "aww" out there!)
3. my shoe size is 2.5 - my mum's feet are even smaller!
4. I cry when I see charity adverts on the telly
5. my hubby knows far too much about politics and makes my eyes glaze over when he goes into one!
6. I am currently studying for my Project Management Professional qualification - veeeeeeerrrrry slooooooowly!  (must stop crafting for a bit!!)
   
7. I hate rom-coms - give me fantasy and sci-fi any day!
