Re: getting to know you

Hi 🙂 the kids have fallen asleep on me and I don't dare move them yet. I will have to soon, th ea house needs some love and attention.

Ok answers
Fave colour- probably purple,although I like all colours
Song-always take the weather with you by crowded house. It's the first one that came to mind. There are actually a lot!
Band- Franz Ferdinand
TV show - I don't know. I watch a lot of kids shows.
Movie -
Book - pride and prejudice
Sport-- road cycling and all
Flowers - ones that bloom
Food - chocolate
Drink - monitoring
Animals-
2 dogs - Jimmy a kelpie about 6yo and Lady a border Collie about 5 yo. They used to be working dogs. So quite high energy.
I've been long brown hair with Auburn streaks and green Hazel eyes. I'd count myself as half Zimbabwean by now having been part of the family (my husband's) for over 10 years now.
My husband was diagnosed about 2 years ago with bpd ptsd fibromyalgia and scoliosis, so thrown in quite roughly. Our eldest child is 3 1/2 and youngest is 11 months. So care for them too. When I lived at home with my parents I also cared for my sister who had depression and disassociation disorder and narcolepsy.
