I have been tagged by the kind and lovely Amanda to share seven things about me, so here they are:
1. I collect ribbon and tissue paper, I guess ribbon is quite normal but there's something about the colours of tissue paper that I love. I think it started from buying bits from dinosaur designs, all the paper they wrap purchases in matches the pieces you buy. I'm a sucker for colour.
2. Stripe tops – I have a definite thing for stripe tops at the moment, at last count I may have had seven… anyway I have been looking for the ‘one’ and last week took the plunge and ordered a Saint James one (you know the one Audrey Tautou in Coco Avant Chanel), I’m hoping this will end the search and my obsession.
3. I walk to work every morning and need this 25 minute one-on-one time with my ipod and the fresh air to wake up. If it’s raining or frosty and I have to catch the bus it feels like a part of my day is missing and end up a little cranky.
4. I’m clumsy, if you can drop it, bang into it or trip on it I will. It’s very frustrating, I’m completely uncoordinated.
5. I wish I had a cat of my own, I love house sitting for my parents when I get to spend time with Angus and Lola, they are such lovely beasts especially when they sneak onto my bed at night and moaw at me for a cuddle. It's one of my favourite things.
6. I watch the Mighty Boosh a lot, I love that everytime you get something a little different from it and it always makes me laugh, so does the IT Crowd.
7. I’m going through a stage where I want to change the style of my house a bit, but don’t know what I want or what I want to change. I’m stuck, but it’s interesting.
I’m passing the tag onto my new-to-blogging cousin Amelia, my real life friend Amanda, and anyone else who may like to join in.

Thanks for playing along Catherine! As one of my loveliest blogging friends I really enjoyed getting to know that little bit more about you :) How good you are walking to and from work - it must be nice in the morning having that time to yourself with your ipod. You'll have to post a photo of some of your tissue papers and ribbons one day... as for being clumsy, I too am a real clutz :)
My husband walks to and from work every day and I think it's the greatest thing. I wish I had that built into my day. You can really do alot of thinking or just zone out and relax while walking. Good for you!
I used to walk to work and loved it so much. It was the best commute I ever had :) I ALSO have the striped shirt obsession. I think I have about 7 too. Let me know what you think of the o ne you just ordered. So fun to reading your list!
It's really nice to learn new things about our bloggy friends, and I really like your list! You shared some great things, and I love that you collect tissue paper and ribbon!
:)
you're not that clumsy! i have little scraps of tissue paper that i keep to, there is defiinitely something about it - it's very tactile.
thanks for passing it on!
i will check out Amelia's blog too
xo Amanda
So nice to learn more about you. I totally get the stripey top thing - I must check out the top you mentioned - or wait until you post about it!
I love your seven things! I too have an enormous tissue paper collection, i love all the different colours. I use them for wrapping gifts and making things. It's the kind of collection that just seems to grow and grow... And ditto too on number 2 and 3, i love my walk and a stripey tee! Thanks for sharing!
I would have to agree with you on 1 & definitely 2.
I should spend more one and one time with my ipod with a little morning exercise - i'd be a lot more spritely not so desperate for caffeine.
Would love to be a runner or jogger but I am too, abit unco and often trip over my own feet :)
I love your 7 things Catherine. I often listen to my ipod when I'm commuting in the mornings, it makes the journey that little bit nicer. Also I love that you collect tissue paper and adore stripes - also I'm channeling the clumsy thing as well at the moment lol! :)
