MEME - Yet Another 7 Weird Things!

1 - I have quite a collection of giraffes - of all sizes.  My first was a wooden on bought by Mum and Dad when I was 4, the smallest one is one I bought in Venice and is about 2" tall (blue glass) and the largest is "Portius" that Toni bought me the Christmas after I lost Jaykub.

 

2 - I am a hoarder.  I collect anything and everything.  If you are thinking of throwing something out, don't I have a little space left in my loft!  My house looks "Victorian" according to everyone.  I have pictures in every space and ornaments on every surface ... no real theme, other than the 'raffes ... just souveneirs of holidays and family.

3 - I hate gardening.  Sorry to say, as I know a lot of my f-list are very green-fingered.  However it just isn't "me".  I do it as I have a garden at my place and try to help Mum and Dad - but that is as far as it goes.

4 - I always have been - and still am, a head-banger.  No - nothing to do with music - but the ones that bash their heads - for me it has always been when I have been asleep ... I used to really upset Mum and Dad as they had read it meant I felt un-loved.  I will admit that now, as an adult, if I wake up doing it there is usually some reason of stress behind it.

5 - I love going down slides (including the death slides / vertical drop slides)  and helter-skelters .... but don't like any fairground rides.

6 - I hate going out for meals as a group ... or even when on holiday etc.  (A nice meal with someone special is different - but that doesn't happen all that often, so no worries!)  To me it is both a waste of time and money - and as I only like really simple plain food I can never find anything I like.

7 - I love ironing ... as do both my brothers by the way, although Mum hates it!
