My 11 Questions for the Bloggers Below:

1.  What is the last movie you’ve seen? What did you think of it?

Last film was possibly Twilight - Breaking Dawn as my Mam really want to go to see it. I've not read the books or seen any of the other films, so it didn't really make much sense to be honest!!

2.  What has been your fave holiday? My trip to New York in 2004 with my Mam and very good friend Jackie. I'd won a competition through a local band called the Futureheads, and got to see them, Franz Ferdinand and a band called the Delays in New York. We stayed at a 5* Hotel called the Paramount and it was blazing hot. I LOVED it

3.  Talking about holidays.. what is a place that you really want to visit? I'd love to go back to America, the likes of Washington, Boston, etc really appeal.

4.  Do you like to cook? What’s your ‘signature dish’? I love to do it, but never have the inspiration!! If someone asked me to cook something, I would. But having to decide? ooh, not good! I like making Risotto and Tuna Pasta Bake...

5.  Have you tried online dating? Any success?

Yes. No. I keep going back for more though.

6.  Are you a phone person? Talking on the phone I mean.

HATE IT! Even though I worked in a call centre for 2 years, I really really hate talking on the phone. Writing yes. In person, yes. Phone, NO

7.  If you could only shop clothes from one store for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

Tough call - I'm guessing it has to be a +fashion store? Probably SimplyBe, as they do staples really well. But wish I could say something like Cath Kidston or LadyVintage or Collectif

8.  Do you have many best friends or just one?

A number of very good friends

9.  Do you feel that you’re in your right career (or going towards one if you’re still studying)?

I feel like I'm in the right area, and would love to see how the private sector progresses for me.

10.  Are you a creative person? How does this come across? (Painting, photography, music.. whatever.)

I used to do Am Dram, I used to write "such bloody awful poetry". Now I express myself through my appearence, and hopefully, my writing. My job and Brownie Pack help with my creativity as well sometimes.

11.  Where is your happy place? Please describe it.

It is usually a mental place - It is TyneMouth Priory on the North Sea Coast, just where the Tyne meets the sea. When I first went there, there was a storm coming, so the sky was almost black. It was very atmospheric, but at the same time, very calming as we were the only people there. This was 10 years ago, and it still effects me.
