ADVERTISING BACHELOR DEGREE

The lovely Annette (Bunch Photo) dedicated a leaf shot to me after I wrote her a testimonial. To say thank you for mine (and for being such a great flickr-friend) I wanted to do the same x

Okay - Also, I've been tagged by the lovely ladies Linda and Tracie for some questions lately so here goes :)

1. If you could meet one person, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Probably Stephen Fry - he is a bit of a national treasure in the UK.

2. What did you wanna be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a teacher. My mum trained as one when I was starting high school and I did a few work placements with her. I really enjoyed it and got into Uni, but never went. In the end having my own place and money seemed more important. I guess by 18 I wasn't as keen on the idea as I thought I would be. I do regret not getting a degree sometimes but unless you feel passionately about something, I'm not sure all that debt is worth it.

3. What's your biggest asset?
My bum? Haha, only kidding. Probably the same as my worst asset - my need to organise everything. It's something that I have had to let slide these past few years (as for some reason, the twins just won't stay tidy!).

4. What's your favorite late night snack?
I'm partial to a bowl of Cocoa Pops in the evening if I am peckish. Has to be soya milk though.

5. If money were no object, what would you like to do?
If money were no object, I could stop worrying about everything all the time - so perhaps I would be happy. I would love to buy out my house and help my family too.
See the world, with my camera :)

6. Name one talent you wish you had.
There are lots of things I wish I was better at but, as daft as this sounds, I would love to be able to whistle a tune :)

7. If you knew then, what you know now.
My life would be completely different - I have way too many regrets. That said, they make me who I am now so perhaps I wouldn't change much after all.
I guess I would be healthier

8. Would you rather take a dip in a lake or the ocean?
The sea for sure, lakes around here are not nice!

9. what are your 2 favorite movies?
Pride & Predjudice (2005 version) and The Shawshank Redemption.

10. List 3 things you'd like to achieve in 2011.
(1) Improve my photography.
(2) Stop beating myself up over everything I do wrong. Learn to appreciate what I have more and not focus on the negative so much.
(3) Stop making excuses for being fat and just loose the bloomin' weight.
