1/ I am an ESSEX girl, and have suffered for it ever since.......but only because I don't have the blonde hair, white stiletto's and not a chance am I dancing around anyones handbag ! I dont even have the accent anymore...thankfully !
2/ I had the perfect childhood from years 0 - 11, then I hit senior school and my parents split and I went totally into 'Wild child mode ' ....... this has been tamed slightly (and I mean slightly) in my aging years but I still have a long way to go...
3/ I love childish things, I still go flying kites, I still bump down the stairs on my 'arris' , I can often be found doing forward rolls and handstands in my living room....... this is not for show as I can assure you that I actually do these things when I am alone, they make me happy and make me laugh !!
4/ I was once married to the perfect guy, he asked for nothing and never questioned my actions, we had 15 bridesmaids and 12 pageboys, the vicar was a 'mrs vicar' and the music was provided by a choir....... to this day I am still destroyed about the fact that we never even got to kiss before the ' end of playtime ' bell sounded and we all had to resume lessons. I was 7.
5/ I can not eat liver, kidneys, or the fat on bacon........ it makes me shudder to even contemplate putting this near my mouth....... there are other things I wouldnt put near my mouth.......... but not going there.
6/ I also can not see/hear/look at anyone brushing their teeth, this has me instantly running from the room and heading for the nearest exit at a huge rate of knots, it is disgusting and reminds me of rabies or something...........aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.
7/ I have a burn on my wrist that I got when I was 2 years old, my mum was heating milk for my brothers bottle and I turned the gas off just as the milk boiled over the pan, I had a woolen jumper on that stuck to the burnt skin and to this day I can trace the pattern of the wool on my skin...(not sure you can see the scar)
8/ I am funloving and care free, I live every day for what it is, I make the most of every day, I laugh, I smile and I have fun (yeah of cause I have bad days) but then I have the next day to look forward to, and my glass is ALWAYS ALWAYS half full !!
anyway I think thats enough of my rubbish for this week, but I will carry on regardless soon enough !!

What's odd about essex? You've got me curious :)
Can you eat avocado? A lot of people with an aversion to the foods you describe keep away from that too.

I love watching my lady brushing her teeth, feels all kinda intimate :-)
Do we get to know how old you are or have I missed that part?!

How old am I ?

Het - the toothbrushing phobia cracked me up. A good answer when someone asks your age: old enough to know better, young enough not to care.
I see Essex and blonde are interchangable?
ps - loved the planet Het post on my blog.
i was 7 hahahahahahahahaha
Love the list, can't wait for the rest.
The whole "100 Things About Me" thing just freaks me out. I don't even know if I can think of 100 things! But you're making a noble attempt and that is wonderful! HA AHA!

Essex is a county in the uk located in east anglia.... sort of streches up from the top of london and out in the country..
Essex is famed for providing the world with bimbo's, tarts and generally dumb blonde people (however this is NOT the case) but the famous ones are like this thus giving Essex a bad name..
Q: What's the difference between an Essex Girl and a Bag of Crisps?
A: You only get one bang out of a bag of crisps
Q: What is the difference between a supermarket trolley and an Essex girl?
A: A supermarket trolley has a mind of it's own.
these jokes sums it up really

Essex girl as descibed by Wikipedia
The stereotypical image was formed as a variation of the dumb blonde/bimbo persona, with references to: the Estuary English accent, white stiletto heels, peroxide blonde hair, promiscuity, loud verbal vulgarity, and socialising at downmarket nightclubs in large groups.[1]
The term initially became synonymous with the lead characters of Sharon and Tracey in the BBC sitcom Birds of a Feather. These brash and uninhibited women had escaped working class backgrounds in London and now lived in a large house in the desirable and wealthy Essex suburbs.
got it!
so kind of like SoCal Girl. Blonde, Dumb, collagen filled lips, silicon filled breasts and carries a chihuahua under her arm like a handbag.
Damn Hollywood celebrities ruined the reputation for all SoCal Girls.
SoCal = Southern California
But at least I can say I didn't grow up here so nobody can pin that label on me.
Rachel you have got it 100%
I think every country has it own area full of these people...lol
