Me! Me! Me!
1. What were you doing ten years ago?
I was working at FoxKids and what with it being in the meedja and all, was drinking far too much. I'd been living in my flat for two months and I think Helen might have just moved in and was setting up her nest in the living room. We didn't have a sofa and were having to make do with a couple of cheap deckchairs from Woolies but other than that, were in a whirlwind of fun. Not much has changed, really.
2. List five (non-work) things on my to-do list for today.
Claim refund from TFL for Friday's shambles on the tube
Get some money out to spend on gin later
Leave the office and have a stroll in the park at lunchtime
Investigate train times from Barcelona to Benicasim
Eat more fruit
3. Snacks I enjoy:
I like all snacks indiscriminately, but particularly savoury things, if I had to choose. I have a limitless capacity for cheese and biscuits.
4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Initially I thought of buying property - New York, Sydney, Buenos Aires but if I'm a billionaire I could buy Tooting and fill it with bookshops and nice places to eat and drink.
5. Places I have lived:
Leeds, Sunderland, Birmingham, Sowerby Bridge, Bradford, London
6. Jobs I have had:
0898 Tarot card reader
Flogging timeshare to the unsuspecting public of Leamington Spa
Bar maid
Stuffing teddy bears and tying on ribbons at a toy factory
Purchase ledger clerk in a department store
PA (various places)
Customer service manager for a travel agency (manic laughter)
Private investigator
I now pass the mantle to Redshoes, Colonel Knowledge and Moobs and anyone else who can be arsed.
Comments
I forgot about my 5 week stint as a barmaid and waitress - put me off working in hospitality for a long time... shame as it was just before I was about to start my 4 year degree!
I love that - getting money out to buy gin! Glad someone's got their priorities right!
Shame on you Moobs! You'll be clamouring to get into our leafy suburbs once I've had my way with them.
Ms Hostess - yes, but it wasn't as much fun as you'd think...
Gin is always a priority and the world would be a lot more glamourous if we were billionaires.
