I have a tendency to jiggle my legs around when I'm waiting to have bloodwork done or before an interview through nerves.
Apparently I do a subtle shoulder wiggle when I am uncomfrotable in conversation.
Hmmm. I'm pretty much the anti-pickyournose police so don't really have too many bad habits...
I get cross easily with people (drivers / people shopping etc). Not sure if that's a habit though!

Day 41 Whatever tickles your fancy
My Grandad is out of hospital but is so afraid of dying that he kept ringing ambulances and shouting at his neighbours to help him in the middle of the night. So he's now a resident of the same care home as my Grandma Joyce (his wife). It is a relief for the whole family to know that they are both being monitored and being looked after.
I keep hearing songs that they always used to sing to me when I was little but then never remember the names of any of them!
Hopefully we'll manage to get up there next year but funds are lacking atm :(
Just fancied writing down that they're ok.

Day 40 A letter to a deceased person you wish you could talk to
I am lucky enough to have both sets of grandparents (at the moment anyway) and a pretty healthy family. If there was one deseased person I'd have interest in speaking to it woud probably be someone like the late Freddie Mercury. I have watched loads of programmes about his life and wish I could understand more about his character etc. My step mum would probably love it too!

Day 39 Zodiac sign and do you think it fits your personality
I am a Virgo. I would say that I am pretty typical.
Modest and shy
Meticulous and reliable
Practical and diligent
Intelligent and analytical (I would like to think!)
Fussy and a worrier
Overcritical and harsh
Perfectionist and conservative
The only attributes in this list I was unsure of are in orange. I'm not particularly practical and diligent sounds a bit sumbmissive to me.
I think Tabby posted the massive section from the website on Virgo personality (are we virgoans? I never know!) So if you fancy a look again it's here: http://www.astrology-online.com/virgo.htm
It discusses cleanliness and needing things in order. I'm much better now that I have lived with Dan for 4 years. I understand that other people can't always meet my expectations on the tidiness front and can adapt to this. With exception of my sister that is. She is horrendously untidy and doesn't care about rooms smelling nice or washing clothes. I really struggled with having her here. Dan knows how odd I am about having things in their right places. I hate having anything on the fireplace (honestly why do people put their dirty plates / car keys / phones on our fireplace??) or in my line of vision on the floor. Ok I'm mad, moving on!!
It goes onto having trust issues and being self concious, both of which I can relate to well. I am constantly putting pressure on myself etc. It sucks.
So they bring the art of self concealment to a high pitch, hiding their apprehensiveness about themselves and their often considerable sympathy with other people under a mantle of matter-of-factness and undemonstrative, quiet reserve. They are still waters that run deep. Yet in their unassuming, outwardly cheerful and agreeable fashion, they can be sensible, discreet, well spoken, wise and witty, with a good understanding of other people's problems which they can tackle with a practicality not always evident in their own personal relationships.
Yep yep and yep.

- LIKES
- Health foods
- Lists
- Hygiene
- Order
- Wholesomeness ??
- DISLIKES
- Hazards to health
- Anything sordid
- Sloppy workers
- Squalor
- Being uncertain
You rarely hear the word squalor these days! I guess these fit me. Lists are my favourite of course, they help me to be organised and get things done. So yeah, I am your typical virgo(an) destined to be obsessive compulsive and reserved forever and ever.

Cool Places
Writers Block Question:
What's your favorite city or town that you've visited? Why do you love it?
My favourite UK city has to be Bath. My earliest memory of it is when I was about 6. I remember getting a magazine with free black jack sweets I hated and palmed off on my Dad. We did the whole visiting the Roman Baths thing because I was obsessed with history (I was an odd child) and it was very exciting.
More recently Dan and I went together as a couple. We stayed in the Travel Lodge that has a Wagamama's (my favurite restaurant in the UK) beneath it. We took lots of lovely walks which mostly involved looking for piggies (http://www.kingbladudspigs.org/)

We also went to a couple of tea rooms (Not Sally Lunn's because it was too busy!) We also visited the Roman Baths! Some pictures of the very beautiful and historic Bath:
Day 38 A photo of your parent(s)
There aren't many photo's of my parents together but luckily my graduation helped with this one. My Step Dad is in this one too. Weird!! Mum on the left. Dad on the right.

Day 37 A song that you like to dance to
Sorry I've been a rubbish blogger. My grandad is still in hospital and has taken a turn for the worse so a bit preoccupied.
I like to dance to lots of songs, normally in the car (much to the disdain of BoyFace) or whilst cleaning. At home I like to listen to XFM and dance to the likes of:
