Wierd Tag As Tagged By Sandra

I was tagged by Sandra at Just A Countrygirl and "According to the rules... Each player of this game starts with the "6 Weird Things about You". People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says 'you are tagged' in their comments and tell them to read your blog!" Not sure if I will tag six people, as most of the bloggers I know have already completed, or are due to complete, the task.

SIX WEIRD THINGS ABOUT ME

1. I'm paranoid! I always worry I have upset/offended people. I always think I have done something wrong, no matter whether it's online, at work, or at home. I don't know when I developed this trait....but it's lingering for a long time.

2. I have to have even numbers. When I stir my milky coffee it has to be exactly 100 stirs?! If I get biscuits, cream crackers or chocolates out of a container I have to have 2,4,6,8 depending how I feel. There's more....I could have mild OCD.

3. If I eat sweets, such as skittles, smarties, fruit gums, basically any coloured sweets, I empty out the bag, sort them into colours and eat them in a particular order. Green first, then yellow, then orange, then white if there are any, then red, then black/purple. To me coloured sweets taste better this way. The green, yellow, and orange are ok sweets, but the white, red, black and purple are always yummy!

4. I normally eat my dinner in order too! Now this is getting wierd. If I have a roast dinner, I will eat mainly my vegetables to get them out of the way (unless it's cauliflower cheese which I love), then I will eat the meat and potatoes together, including stuffing if relevant....then I will always eat my yorkshire pudding, and if there is any, mix it with my califlower cheese. So many times hubby has tried to nick my yorkshire from my plate and I have to tell him I am saving it for last as it's my favourite!

5.I can "roll" my eyeballs. I've never seen myself do it, obviously, but I can spin my eyes around in circles together. Apparently it looks really wierd! I must get hubby to film me doing it so I can see what it looks like.

6. I do a mean tortoise impression!!! I used to, and still sometimes do, wear polo neck tops. I pull my head down into the top, stretch out my jaw sideways, straining the tendons out in my neck, slowly lift my head up out of the polo neck, and there you have a tortoise! Cool hey.

There. That's my tag complete. And yes, I am wierd.

Last night was ok. I got home from work and decided to ring Curry's customer service regarding the credit yet to be received for my faulty MP3 player. I was basically told to go away. So.....after losing my temper, not over the phone, I wrote an e mail, and sent it to the Daily Mail. There is a lady who specialises in resolving issues like these. Boy will she get a shock when she reads my rambling e mail about the situation. Yes I did rub it in to Curry's by copying them in on the e mail, it's a requisite of sending the e mail to the Daily Mail that you do this, so it gives the lady permission to contact them to try and help you. Lord help her if she does attempt this. I doubt she will get any further than I did, which was basically "wait for an e mail response to your e mail response" or the wonderful alternative of "the store is dealing with it, but we can't tell you when it will be done, no action has been taken as yet, it is only three weeks since you first went into the store" or even "the situation as far as we are concerned is resolved...the store are dealing with it". Hmmmm my idea of the situation being resolved is to have the money credited back to my account for a faulty item.

Anyone got any other ideas for people for me to contact to get a reimbursement? All ideas welcome. Other than traveling back to the Eurotunnel shop, as I would have to pay for another crossing to France!!!

The barbershop night was cool. Mum and I sat on the front row, and the songs were beautiful. We of course bought raffle tickets, and jammy deevil Mum won two prizes! I won one so I was quite chuffed. My Mum's colleague from the charity shop makes jewellery....Mum had mentioned this, but I wasn't sure what sort of things she made. She had a stall at the meeting......boy was that stuff gorgeous! It was all sorts of stones from Amethyst, heamatite, quartz, rose quartz, jade, tigers eye etc etc. I bought a beautiful necklace adorned with a purple amethyst heart....and Mum bought me the dangly earrings to match! Perfect.

The musical director made me promise to go on the 3rd January and join! I did record some of the songs using my MP3 player that works! and will have a practise so I know some of the songs when I go. Quite a few of them are from musicals so I was well chuffed.

Got home, gave hubby my own personal analysis of the serial killer in Ipswich, we had a bit of a chat and he went up to bed. I was not long following and was soon sleeping.

Up early again today for another afternoon of work. I got told off yesterday! I fogto that on Wednesdays I'm supposedto finish at four not four thirty. This is so I don't go over my allowance of hours with the disability payments. So, today Boss S is going to throw me out at four o clock. Guess what guys.....that means you might get another post! Oh joy I hear you cry (not).

No, I really must deliver some more of my Avon tonight.

College buddy is coming to see me tomorrow which will be fun :), I'm going to ensure that the next time she is due to meet up with a certain boy band she takes me and SIL with her! Hubby is working from home, so I guess once CB is gone, I will busy myself by wrapping some of the Christmas presents.

Not long to go til Santa comes!

Hugs for all.
