3) When I was a kid I was addicted to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. So much so that Dad taped over the film so he wouldn’t have to watch it again!
4) When I was a child, Michael Buerk was my fancy man! Or so I’ve been told – whenever he presented th lunchtime news I would sit in front if the telly and not move until he’d finished!
5) Public speaking scares me – gives me cold sweats I can tell you!

I’m not tagging anyone specific since I keep tagging the same people! So I tag you lovely readers – please let me know if you participate! 🙂
I have glasses too, for the same reason :)) The bears look so cute, I use to have a lot of stuffed animals at home, but when I moved (from Romania) they didn’t fit in the car, so I had to leave them behind. I would love to get them back, but I can’t justify a 6000 miles round trip to get them :))
Funilly I was really obsessed with the newer adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I saw it in the cinema 11 times! Though I actually remember seeing the earlier version when I was really young for the first time and getting so scared to the point where my mum had to turn it off haha

I love that you speak welsh, I didn’t know that! I did French A level too. I got a B though, was 1 mark off of an A. It still upsets me.
I had pink streaks that same year!!
♡ Carebears!!!
It must’ve been the fashion back then!!
Yeah pretty much have to speak Welsh in this county as education is done through Welsh. That is so gutting to have missed by 1 mark!!
I’ve not seen the new version from start to finish. I find Johnny Depp to be mildly disturbing in it!! The original version does get scary when the boat goes through the tunnel I must admit!
Honestly couldn’t see a thing without my glasses! Should really buy a spare pair really. Wow yes a 6000 mile round trip would be a tad excessive for stuffed animals!
I tried to dye my hair pink once but you couldn’t even tell. Should have bleached it first! And the time I tried to dye it blue it went green :-/ My sister is a natural blonde and at one point she had rainbow streaks! So unfair!
Blondes have more fun huh?! Would love to have rainbow streaks but I don’t think my hair could handle it now
