a fifo wife {fifo life: ten things you didnt know:about me}

And because I thought you couldn’t get enough of me here are ten random things you didn’t know about me. I didn’t think that after 583 posts there was anything to tell but there is. Truth be told it’s an attempt for you to tell me about you. I am nosey that way and I hate one sided conversations besides I took a couple of days off for self reflection because well I needed to and so remembered a few things about myself that I thought I would share because you know I can and it’s my blog so I will.

1. I’m an etiquette freak. Manners and good habits are my thing. I have almost every etiquette book written. If there is only one thing in this world I can teach my children its manners and good habits. Please and thank you will get you most places being rude will not..being an arse is only acceptable in politics and union debates. I do not deal with rudeness on any level. Don’t return my text, phone call ,email or ignore me on the street (but say hello on face book) without a good reason on more than one occasion I will drop you like a hot potato. I’m also the woman who will intervene when someone is screaming or being intolerably rude to the 15 year old attendant at Mc Donald’s because she made a mistake with an order…There is no excuse bad manners it will usually only get your burger spat on.

2. Hoons that use the street as a place to play annoy me; there are speed ways for that kind of thing. In fact I have been known to stand in the middle of my one way street. Holt them like I own it and tell them to f*#k off out my street. I never swear in public. I don’t see the need for that type of language when there are perfectly other good words to describe a situation however when I’m that angry that’s all that comes to mind. I hit a 3 year old boy when I was 19 years old. I was driving the speed limit but he being three didn’t know not to run out in from of a car…I was lucky I stopped in time his bike went under the car he did not..It took me until I had my own children why I needed police protection for a couple of days…the parents knew where I lived and didnt see it from my point of view that he should have bee home tucked up watching place school.

3. I’m only 157 cm tall and with a size 6 foot. I love it…its taken awhile though…my husband is 6ft5 with a size 18 shoe. I’m not sure we could get any further apart however it makes Gwyneth Paltrows marriage advice less back breaking…

4. Travel and not doing more of it is the only regret I have in life. I don’t believe in regret it’s a wasted emotion just as jealousy is.

5. I can’t use a glue gun or sewing machine. I am however handy with a grinder, sander, paint brush, drop saw and drill.

6. I want my helicopters licence. I love aviation. I wanted to be a pilot but my best friend told me I wasn’t smart enough so I believed her…she went on to be a disease researcher who then got hit by a car because she was coming home from a party after trying some party drugs…guess who wasn’t the smart one after all…

7. I can throw a throw net. I can gut a fish and tie a mud crab. I could survive in the bush if need be. You never ever know when those skills will come in handy standing in the middle of Woolworths.

8. I can’t stand seeing hair on the floor. If I get touched by a stranger’s hair I literally want to vomit. I’m gagging as I type. Moving on quickly.

9. I cannot dance at all which is a pity because my husband can move like Fred Freaking Astaire.

10. I’m a not religious but we all have to have faith in something. Mine is karma. I believe in karma what you put out will come back to you; eventually at some point. It’s the law of attraction thing…

So my friends tell me a little something about you..Come on it would be rude not to…
