I have a phobia of jewellery! More on myself, im the same with coins, I can't touch loose change makes me boak. I dont own any jewellery, never had my ears pierced. The only jewellery I have is a leather black Pandora bracelet. And I have to be wearing a long sleep top I have no idea why I'm like this. I've had serious conversations with my bf about my fear, I dont even want an engagement ring! I told him to just propose to me with a big mac instead

A bit like the random fact about anything thread but just something random about yourself instead

I'm double jointed!

Me too!

And every time I see you've posted I can't get that Harry Styles song out of my head!

I used to date someone famous ... no, I will not reveal his name; yes, he is someone you will all know. He wasn't very well known at the time; he just came to NZ to film something. I thought it was serious but he never asked me to go back to his home country after filming finished and subsequently married someone else. Oh well.

[A girl has no name]

I've kept a diary every day since I was 13. I'm now 40.

There are 64 unread books on my shelves that are waiting for me to be in a certain mood for each of them.

Woah! Go you! Which languages? And do you have any tips to learning a new language please?

english, croatian, italian, french and spanish

my tip is probably useless to you as i'm assuming you're over 5 years old but the most important thing in my opinion is to start learning as early as possible. so it's on the parents. i started with english when i was 4 so i really don't remember not speaking english. i also went to a language high school where we were taught latin (which i'm not counting of course ) and this really connected italian, french and spanish for me.

other than that, it's important to just let go and not be afraid or embarrassed to actually use the language. don't worry about grammar - try to use the vocabulary you have and the grammar will come with time. immerse yourself into the language: watch movies and tv shows either in this language or with subtitles in this language, listen to their music, podcasts, even if you don't understand, let it get into your ear!

and to stay on topic - my next task is german!

I passed my driving test the first time, aged 25. I sat my test when I felt fully confident.

I've been emailed by Mark's and sparks to say that I was in the top 10 of purchasing beef joints in the area and top 3 of orange juice.
I know, it's shameful
