Thanks Ben I quite enjoyed this! Heres my facts/stories: 1. When I was pre-school age, I wanted so badly to be a little boy. I continually demanded to have all my beautiful long hair chopped off... and eventually got my wish. my mum still has the ponytail. I think I was the only person who thought I looked awesome 😎 2. When I was a kid, I was playing around with a huge old triple wardrobe in my brothers room, swinging on the doors of it, etc... next I remember I was wedged sideways between the fallen wardrobe and a chair... by my face... cue Dunbar, Raigmore, jaw broken in two places, prepare for surgery to get it pinned/wired the following day... Luckily they shunted it back into place (😱) and left it to heal. If I had been a couple inches on either side of where I got hit, it wouldve been my neck, or my skull, and it might not have been such a funny story... But because it wasnt either of those things, my friends think it is hilarious! Some of the cards from school were shockingly graphic, kids drawing my lifeless body under a wardrobe... My eyes were crossed and my tongue was hanging out! Get well soon Jill! ....er, thanks! 😧 3. I ran the London Marathon in 2008. It seemed like a good idea at the time to apply alongside two of my (much fitter) friends. They both got their sorry, try again next year letters, and I assumed mine got lost in the post. Nope! I bought a treadmill from an old dude with no legs (this may or may not be an exaggeration), and set it up in my living room. I remember watching Coccon on TV while running along, thinking, YES! I can do this! after which the treadmill entered a new career as elephant in the room and I would avoid eye contact as I scooted past, Doritos and beer in hand, to play online poker and watch youtube videos on how to not die during a marathon. 4. At some point (unspecified) I will take home a Great Dane (yes, Im 54 and weigh about the same as half a bag of chips, but still). My Labrador (that Im not even convinced is an actual dog) apparently does not speak English but always tends to wince when I mention this to him. 5. Very soon all my lovely Facebook friendys will receive an invite to a new business venture of mine. Apologies in advance, Im sending to all! Feel free to ignore (I will not hunt you down with my canines in note 4) 6. I once abseiled down the chimney of Wick Hospital. I am pretty terrified of free fall heights, and at no point during it did I overcome that fear. The only thing that reassured me was that if I ended up a bloody broken mess at the bottom, someone would surely shovel me up and stick me inside... So I couldnt ask for a better place to do it! Needless to say, I have no other jumping from or hanging off facts about myself. 7. I have an (absolutely logical) fear of wooden spoons. Its hard to even write down. Someone told my daughter this and now she chases me with them at Grannys. Whoever it was, I will find you.
