Some months ago, the love Sara at mumturnedmom tagged me in her All About Me meme post, and because I’ve been totally useless I’ve not replied before – slapping wrist whilst typing!
So here are some snippets about me:
1. Tell us your name and what you do…
I’m Mary and I’m a stay at home Mum. Up until 4 years ago I worked for 20 years in Export Sales / Business Development / Shipping for various companies.
2. I live at home with…
My Monkey 4 year old son Monkey, our cat Brewster and with Daddy P (a workaholic!)
3. My favourite thing to do is…
I love Formula One, Ferrari is my team of choice, I love reading, would love to cross stitch – just never manage to fit it in these days. I know, that’s more than one thing – I’m cheating!
4. My favourite thing to eat is…
Oh gosh – just one thing …. eek. Not sure I have a favourite main meal, I like so many. For pudding it would have to be Tiramisu – adore it.
5. When I get cross I…
I shout and stomp! Also I’m rather hormonal, so have been known to cry when angry – which is very annoying.
6. Sometimes I worry because…
That’s who I am. I blame my Mother, I am her daughter and worrying is what we do best.
7. My favourite book is…
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
8. My favourite toy is …
My SatNav – I have zero sense of direction. It is my saviour.
9. I dislike…
Custard, liver, bad time keeping, dog owners who don’t clean up after their dogs, prejudice and injustice, oranges and anything citrus other than a slice of lime in a G&T!
10. When I grow up I want to be…
God, I’ve never known what I want to be! Content, healthy, a time traveller. I’d really love to spend time researching people’s family trees – something I find fascinating.
The lovely Meredith over at Ponder the Irrelevant, recently nominated me for my second Liebster award – how lucky am I! So I thought I would answer a few of her questions in this post too.
1. Where is your dream vacation destination?
Easy, Thailand – love it there. If I had to pick somewhere I’ve not been to – then Switzerland, I have family there I’ve never visited and my Papa loved it there. Want to have a ‘Heidi’ experience!!
2. Do you prefer movies or books?
Tough one, I love books, think that’s fairly obvious. I do love films too, but normally not ones that have been adapted from a novel. Rarely live up to expectations – but I did love the LOTR films
3. When is your favorite time of day?
When I pick Monkey up from Nursery School, I love seeing his face as he runs towards me – priceless, love!
So there you go, all about me – well a little bit of me anyway. Time to pass the baton on, I’d love to learn more about these ladies and would love them to answer the top 10 questions from this post …..

Lovely to get to know you better! I’m a hormonal beast too, and always cry when I get cross!
Annoying isn’t it!
Love it! Yes, I too am rather elaborate? when I get cross. And then I tell the children not to be so dramatic when they have a strop. Ooops!
Dangerous ground isn’t it
Lovely finding out more! I think time-traveller sounds great 🙂 Thanks very much for the tag, but I did this one a little while back – http://www.thereadingresidence.com/all-about-me/ x
Yes, I quite fancy disappearing to the past from time to time! Ah, ok, there are so many of these doing the rounds 🙂
How can you not like citrus fruit? I am “shocked”. 😉
Lovely to find out more about you, Mary
Quite easily!! The smell of oranges used to give me really bad headaches – I’d offer killer stares to anyone who brought them into the office 🙂
I’m a worrier like my Mum too
Wish I wasn’t some times!
Thanks so much for the tag.
Who doesn’t like custard?! My life would be very sad without custard in it 🙂 x
God no!! It’s banned in this house, I can’t even look at it!
