Nah, neither can I! 
The very gorgeous London City Mum has bestowed upon me the glory of an award that came to her from a Land Downunder (where women glow and men chunder!) so as I am indeed a follower of the Southern Cross I happily accept, whilst of cause fatuously thanking my Mum and Dad, and other Vegemitevixens (a very exclusive club!), and of course The Academy.
And genuinely thanking the lovely London City Mum (cheque’s in the mail hun!)
Now howsabout ten secrets that I cannot keep, about me?
1/I have problems keeping my contact lenses in my eyes. I am horrifically astigmatic and see everything completely askew (ya guessed huh?) without them plump square in the middle of my eyeballs. I have over the years, slept in them, (after drinking copious quantities of Bollinger!) and put them in the wrong eye (walked crooked all day!), and lost them down the back of the car. I have even drunk them. Oh yes, I am that sophisticated! Whilst trying to impress a man I might add. Contact
2/I can cook. It’s a secret because whilst I’ve been in England I seem to have forgotten how to cook anything at all. I used to cook and cater dinner parties and and BBQs and all sorts of things. I used to love pouring over cook books. I’ve just lost my cooking mojo I suppose. If you stumble across it can you forward it to me?
3/I will never again make chilli whilst drinking vodka and orange. You don’t need to know why.
4/I have webbed toes. Not all of them just the first two toes have a fold of skin between them. Unfortunately it is not unusual enough to secure carny work, nor to toss away the flippers. Though it is something of an advantage when boogie boarding.
5/ I love Blue Tack. I say this quite shame facedly. I love to stretch it, play with it, roll it and fiddle with it. It’s this businesswoman’s ‘silly putty’. It helps with the ADD energy thingy too. If I can dispense the extra energy on the bluetack I can concentrate on the task at hand. Don’t judge, you have that thing about a perfectly squeezed tube of toothpaste! (yes you, husband of mine furtively sneeking a peek at the blog!)
6/I’m a bleeder. I have a genetic condition called Von Willebrand’s Disorder. It means that when I start bleeding I sometimes have a big problem stopping. Queen Victoria’s line had it too as did the Anastacia crowd in Russia. So obviously I have blue blood!
7/I am half Australian. Yeah I know. Put another prawn on the Barbie cobber!
8/My life has been affected by: flood, hurricane, fire, bush fire, tornado, earthquake, and blizzard. I haven’t yet had the pleasure of tsunami or locust strike. But I’m only 42. There’s time.
9/I’m a serial expat. This is the fourth country I’ve lived in. Needless to say I’m really good at packing, and unpacking.
10/I’m insanely competitive. I was once rebuked at work for being ‘a very ambitious young woman’. Funny that. I always thought ambition was an equal opportunity employer!
To further the meme I will pass this on to the following:
Martini Mummy – cos I love a great Martini
Marketing to Milk - not so keen on the milk mindst but M2M is a lovely ascerbic writer.
Mommys Got a Headache – Cos she’s a smart sassy lady and she can write erotic literature!
