Eight things...

I'm copying Keris, who has done this meme on her rather fabulous blog.

Eight things I like:

1. Wi-fi. It is still a novelty for me.
2. Stationery. I have just bought some gorgeous Rupert the Bear notecards.
3. Going to National Trust places. I love Waddesden Manor.
4. Proper coffee
5. Beaches. Being from the middle of England I still get excited when I can see the sea!
6. Walking.
7. Baking. It soothes me.
8. Body step and Body Combat classes. Sadly don’t go any more as not member of gym. Number six is just a good though as can walk past a Costa.

Eight things I did yesterday:

1. Made ginger and all-bran cookies
2. Worked out how to put adverts on my cake blog. (It has taken me a while.)
3. Went to a children’s book coffee afternoon thing
4. Drank coffee.
5. Changed nappies and cleaned up baby sick.
6. Put a load of washing on and forgot to hang it out.
7. Cuddled baby.
8. Played Mario Karts on the wii with husband and son. And won. Naturally

Eight things I wish I could do:

1. Travel without worrying
2. Write without worrying (and cringing)
3. Basically to live my life without worrying
4. Keep a tidy house
5. Fly
6. Run for long distances (or rather run. Full stop). (I am working up to it though)
7. Be more organised.
8. Make small talk.

Eight things I don't like:

1. Snails eating my plants and cats emptying themselves in my garden (I’ve just been outside)
2. My DVD player has no remote
3. Being tired. I want to do so much.
4. Instructions for techno things. My brain can’t cope. (see no. 2 of things I did yesterday).
5. Bad customer service.
6. Worrying.
7. Having items on my ‘to do list’ for too long. Stresses me out (see previous).
8. Stubbing my toe (yup, just done it on daughter’s high chair)

Eight things I look forward to:

1. My first coffee of the day (addicted? Me?)
2. The children being old enough to take them to Australia where I went on honeymoon and New Zealand where my friend lives
3. Christmas with my children
4. Getting my pre-pregnancy body back and fitting into my new trousers
5. Husband coming home (he told me to write that)
6. Being successful
7. Achieving my ambitions
8. Picking my son up from school.

Eight TV shows I watch:

1. Auf Wiedersehen, Pet
2. Lewis/Morse
3. Frost (last episode coming soon)
4. Miss Marple
5. Poirot (do you detect a theme here?)
6. Brothers & Sisters
7. Katie & Peter (though not as inclined to watch it now due to recent events)
8. The West Wing (over and over and over)

Love your lists. I empathize with the worrying as I struggle with it too. And the first cup of coffee every morning...bliss!

Funny, I knew I'd like you (and Angie see comment above...) I wonder if it's anything to do with recognising a fellow worrier!

(When you go to Australia ... please come via Bangkok for a few days!)
