50 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT MEEEEEEEE

I did actually try and film this a couple of days ago until I watched it back and noticed that you couldn't actually see me. Ok, lesson learnt, I won't film at 9pm again.

  3. Oh god, Habbo Hotel. I must have spent the majority of my pocket money on that website. I just loved being a HC with all the cool hair do's, and with my virtual pet dogs. Ah, those were the days. Game of falling furni anyone?

    Loads of these things reminded me of myself, the secret love for One Direction, love going to gigs, always being a S Club 7 fan (pah Steps can go home), not being able to sleep during the day, very much enjoying my own company, and I love Little Miss Sunshine, such a good film!

    Tempted to do this post myself, however I'm not sure if I have 50 things. Maybe 25?

  8. Looooved this :-) Just read your piercings post (I wasn't following you back then) and you've kick started my craving for more ear piercing! All that bothers me is that I wouldn't be able to sleep on that ear for a while. Yep, sleep really matters that much to me.

  10. I've always wondered how it must be working at Lush because of such strong (but pleasant) smells. Can you smell anything else after you're done with work? :D
