6 Things Meme

July 05th, 2008 Comments(20)

Guera of Roaming Aussie Mum has tagged me for this meme. Go and check her place out if you haven’t already, I love her blog’s new look. Anyway, back to the meme. Here’s the rules:

I have to answer 6 questions about myself. At the end of the post, I then tag 6 people and post their names, then go to their blogs and leave them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read my blog. Then, I must let the person who tagged me know when I’ve posted my answers.

6 Places I Have Lived

Sydney, I have lived the majority of my life here, but to get the 6 places I have to break it down a bit
- Family home where I grew up, on the Northern Beaches of Sydney
- 2nd family home in the northern suburbs of Sydney
- Our old house on this block of land, which we demolished in 2004
- The house we currently live in which replaces the old house.
England, for a year in 1987
Canada, for a year in 1991/1992

What was I doing 10 years ago?

We had been married for 3 years, Tiger was 1 and in November 1998 I found out I was pregnant with Daisy.

I was learning Calligraphy, doing classes one night a week and loving it. I was working 3 days a week selling furniture.

Where will I be in 10 years time?? Who knows. Hopefully I will have finished Uni, Tiger will have finished school and Daisy will be almost finished. Apart from that, I am not even going to try and guess what the future holds for me.

5 Things on My To-Do List Today

Washing, Folding and Ironing
Order text books for Semester 2 for Uni
Tidy and organise a few rooms in the house that badly need it
Wash my car (depending on the weather of course)
Read a book

Snacks I like to eat

Cheese on Vita-Weats
PB & J sandwiches (I love seeing my kids reactions when they see me eating this)
Milk Chocolate
Camembert or Brie (I’m not fussy, either one will do)on wheaten biscuits. If I am feeling very extravagant, a creamy blue cheese with rockmelon (no biscuit). Mmmmm yummy

If I was a billionaire

The first thing that I would do would be to pay our mortgage off. Then give some to family or buy a house for them. Some of them would be better off without a wad of cash Then I would put some in trust for the kids until they are older and wiser, and pay all their school fees for the next however many years. Then I would buy myself one of my dream cars and go cruising for a few months.

I would give some money to the business so that we can build our own premises just the way that we want them. And like Guera, pay a great big lump of money to our local kids hospital. Neither of my kids have had major health issues but Daisy has been in there three times for operations as well as an emergency visit when she stuck her finger in Tiger’s bike chain. The staff there were absolutely fantastic every time we have been and I would not hesitate to go back there or to recommend it to anyone that unfortunately needs their kids to go to hospital. I would probably also make donations to research specifically related to kids. I’m not sure which one though, there’s not one in particular that I can think of.

And I don’t really want billions, millions would do, even one million would be fine. Its all a dream though, a nice dream though. And we all need dreams don’t we.
