Brayergirl's Book of Banter: I've been TAGGED

You have probably been wondering where I have been for the past week and a half. I've actually been very ill, let's face it, I must have been feeling bad if I couldn't even make myself stamp something! Thankfully I seem to be on the mend now but I know it's going to take a little time to get my strength back. Everytime I do anything even slightly energetic (like climbing the stairs) I have to sit down to recover. Not good, especially as the Christmas decorations etc are all up in the loft and I normally have them all up by now!

Sadly, although I seem to be recovering, my TV decided to die last night. Why do these things always break down at Christmas? Anyway, I've wasted no time and hopped onto Comet and ordered a new silver LCD flat screen which is the same width as my current TV and if I remember correctly, seems to be cheaper than my old TV was when I bought it 6 years ago. Not only that, it has a built in DVD player and is HD ready. Boy - prices have REALLY come down on those LCD TVs. Just as well really! It gets delivered on Friday, so in the meantime I will have to survive with terrestial channels on my bedroom portable. - Oh no! That means I will miss Grey's Anatomy this week :o(

Whilst I have been incapacitated I've received back my Ornament from the round robin and WOW what a great job Mary and Linda have done to my background! Mary made some wonderful Fimo and beaded Snowflakes and Linda added a few snowflake crystals. This really is going to take pride of place on my tree this year!

I have also been Tagged by Audrey Hernandez. This is a first for me, and quite a challenge! I have to List 6 weird things about myself. Then I have to tag 6 more people. So here goes with 6 weird things about myself:

1. I have performed twice at the Royal Albert Hall in London, but I am not famous.

2. I have an award from the Queen, but I have never met her

3. In 2005 I spent more time out of the UK than in it

4. I was on television when I was aged 3 at Nursery School

5. In 1977 my 'Bodacea' costume won me 2 Fancy Dress competitions in the space of a week

6. When I was a student I used to work in a very up-market Supermarket in Brighton that was frequented by a lot of famous British celebrities who were regulars through my checkout! (Carol Barnes (Newsreader), Nick Kamen (the original Levi Jeans model in the Launderette commercial - big poser who brought his Body Guard with him - pleeeeease!) , Tommy Boyd (Children's TV Presenter and Talk Radio DJ), Brian Capron (actor who played Tricky Dicky in Coronation Street and Mr Hopwood in Grange Hill), Dame Dora Bryan (famous British actress), Chris Eubank (boxer).

I quickly worked out that these people kept choosing my lane to come through because I never made a 'fuss' of them. Tommy Boyd in particular only ever used to come through my lane because I used help quiet down his baby because I gave him my keys to play with. I think I was quite fast getting people through too, from what I remember, but it was a very long time ago - 20 years in fact!!!!! That baby is now an adult - yikes!

So, now I have to tag 6 people myself: Kym (Galaxy Girl), Godelieve (Stamping Mathilda), Dymphie (Livreblanc) Nancy (Wildheart), Sue (Ozzigirl), and last but not least, Aud Nordheim (Aud). Have fun folks!

Kristy, your new Holiday header is wonderful!! So festive!!
Sorry to hear that you had such a terrible week, I hope you will feel completely well soon!
Thanks for tagging me,... and I hate to spoil the game, but I can't think of 6 weird things... no special things happened in my life... Maybe that's weird? SORRY
