I Have a Little List


Seven Reasons I'm not a true blogger
It takes me forever to think up a clever & witty title
I don't know how to insert links using key words & phrases
I don't know how to edit text when making a comment
I haven't yet worked out how to insert a picture in my profile
I don't know what a tag is
I don't know how to put slinking on to my page
I don't understand how to do almost anything related to blogging

Totally believe in anything that a politician says

Seven Things that attract me to my spouse/partner
His tolerance
His fortitude in the face of the fact that I now dislike housework/cooking (not that he does it for me!)
His sense of humour
His willingness to help me out in any of my interests/projects without complaint
His patience
His acceptance of me and my many faults over the last 40+ years
Just him being himself

Seven Things I say most often
Bugger
Bollocks
Fuck (but I only say this in my head as I'm an old lady & don't approve!)

Please
Thank you
Please yourself!
