Hello Earthlings,
I feel like I have kind of abandoned my blog recently and it makes me sad but at the same time I don't want to rush a post or write about something just for the sake of it so I have just taken a step back and tried to think of some ideas for the next few weeks. You see I have quite a few ideas for summer but it's the whole run up to summer that may be lacking. But anyway, I was thinking to myself about how much I have changed over the past couple of years and then I remembered that about 2 years ago I did the 100 Questions No One Ever Asks so I figured that I could do it again and see if I have changed. So let's go! (P.S. if you want to read the original then here you go)
1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18 and find line 4.

Scrolling through Twitter, Instagram and Facebook in the hope that something interesting would pop up. it didn't.
4. What is the last thing you watched on TV?

6. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time?
21:32
7. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?

8. When did you last step outside?
I took some recycling to the bin, but earlier this afternoon I went to my friend's baby shower which was lovely.
9. Did you dream last night?
Probably I tend to dream most nights quite vividly but I never manage to remember anything from them, unless it's a nightmare where I unfortunately remember them down to the littlest detail.
10. Do you remember your dreams?
I'm an idiot but hey I answered that above so...
11. When did you last laugh?
I don't remember, not in a way that it is so rare for me to laugh but more in a way of I laugh all the time so I really couldn't tell you the exact time.
12. Do you remember why/at what?
Why am I so good at predicting these questions?
13. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
Well I'm currently in my room and there's the television, lots of heart plaques and various quote plaques, my mirror, calendars, pictures, a board full of tickets, a number plate with LI4 99 on it and a the certificate I received for donating my hair to the Little Princess Trust.
53. Do you know how to pump your own gas?

59. Think fast. what do you like right now?
Spring.
60. Where were you on Valentine's day?

61. What time do you get up?

Wallace, and he was a boxer dog.

I feel like this has been a pretty successful reflective post and I do think I definitely have changed, if you actually managed to read all of this then thank you so much, you definitely deserve a cookie. I'm going to include a snazzy mirror selfie with half my face missing because it has been super sunny today and I looked very summery, although I got sun burn which now stings a lot so anyway!
Until next week,

14. Seen anything weird lately?
I lose count of the weird things I see regularly.
15. What do you think of this quiz?
Well, my eyes are suddenly very tired and I am only 15 questions in so I guess this is the perfect time to warn you and apologise for any spelling mistakes and nonsense stuff in the later questions.
16. What is the last film you saw?
I always put films on and then get distracted but the last film I actually sat and watched all the way through was Beauty and the Beast in the cinema. I had never seen the original so although I knew it would inevitably be a happy ever after I didn't really know what else to expect. It was perfect and I recommend it to everyone.
17. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
Hmm, right now I'm feeling New York. However I don't really know where I'd live like is it long term? I don't know, I feel like I'd have to know a lot about somewhere before I decided to move there, maybe I'm weird like that.
18. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?
I would buy a hotel and turn it into a place for the homeless to stay, with the help of my Mumma G.

Equality.

I'm not sure if this question means serious dancing or what but I have always wanted to learn how to dance properly but right now I prance around like Bambi on ice singing really badly to 00s hits on Spotify.
22. Would you ever consider living abroad?
More than likely.
23. Does your name make any interesting anagrams?
My name is three letters long so not really, but backwards it spells ail, is that good or not?
24. Who made the last incoming call on your phone?
My Mum, to ask me to bring my Dad's wallet out to the front of the house because he forgot it...like an idiot.
25. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer?
I don't really download things onto my computer so I think it was probably Netflix.
26. Last time you swam in a pool?
Last October in Spain, Jack then noticed there was a frog in the pool so we quickly left as Jack didn't want to make friends with Freddie.

I can listen to so many different genres of music which I think is fab but my favourite band ever are Catfish and the Bottlemen.
28. Type of music you dislike most?
Erm, I don't really know.
29. Are you listening to music right now?
Nope, my phone is nearly dead.
30. What colour is your bedroom carpet?
You see, I struggled answering this last time because if we go for a simple answer then my carpet is brown but if we go a bit more detailed it kinda looks like a milky hot chocolate.
31. If you could change something about your home, without worry about expense or mess, what would you do?
I would pick it up and move it to a different location.

37. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning?
When I can go back to sleep or breakfast, depends how hungry I am.
38. If you could eat lunch with one famous person, who would it be?
This is such a difficult question, I have a long list of people I would love to have lunch with and ask them a tonne of questions but I think this time I'm just going to stick with Maya Angelou as she was so inspirational. (I know she isn't alive anymore but the question doesn't state that they have to be breathing)
39. Who sent the last text message you received?
Jack.
40. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?
I am 100% going to cheat with this answer and just choose a massive shopping centre that preferably has all my favourite shops in because then it is a win win situation.

La Cala de Mijas which is 1,572 miles away from Chesterfield.
