1996 - I was living in London and working HMV on Oxford Street. I was living with my lovely friend Irene and my bestie Scott (he was gay, we shared a bed for a year - dont ask..) I had very little money, but was going out a lot and clubbing alot (as you do in London). Also had a chance to travel quite a bit - went to Italy and Belgium. I was in love with Jarvis Cocker from PULP and a guy from my work called Chris! I came home that year - via New York and hated being back in Sydney, but ended up sharing a house in Newtown with 2 girl friends - and so my love affair for the inner west began!
2. What were you doing a year ago?
A year ago I had just started at the newly merged SONY BMG. It was all very strange being in a new environment after working in the same building with the same people for 7 years. It was a strange time. I was also planning my wedding - getting a bit stressed, but also very excited about the big day. I think it was about this time last year that my hubby sat me down and said 'do we really need to do this?' and I actually said to him 'if you want to cancel, its your call, but you have to think about it for a couple of days', because that is the caring understanding woman that I am! After I had planned the whole thing, invited EVERYONE and booked everything. Thankfully he came to his senses (he was just nervous) and we are happier now than we have ever been!
3. Five snacks I enjoy: (god this is a hard one)
- home made pizza on lebanese bread
- cheese, olives, pickles and wine (not so much wine at the moment)
- oysters
- fruit toast or date scones
- weight watchers chocolate mousse, layered with diet rasberry jelly, topped with strawberries, in a kind of parfait - try it, its very YUM!
4. Five songs to which I know all the lyrics:
I am reknowned for knowing lots of lyrics to lots of songs, but I will try and pick 5 (my favourite karaoke tunes)
- Especially For You - Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan
- All My Life - Foo Fighters
- Common People - PULP
- Torn - Natalie Imbruglia
- Better man - Robbie Williams
5. Five things I would do if I were a millionaire, apart from donating to charity:
- Buy the dream house with water views
- Get my hubby the best digital SLR camera I can find
- travel the world, possibly even move to Thailand and start my own guest house
- Open our own business - a beauty salon especially for men
- cure my insomnia
6.Five Bad Habits:
7. Five Things I Enjoy Doing:
- cooking
- going to gym (when I actually get there)
- going out for breakfast
- suduko
- going to the cinema
8. Five Things I Would Never Wear (or buy):
9. Five favourite toys:
I'm not really a toy person, so this is a tough one
- my dogs
- my sunglasses
- my CD collection
- the new smoothie blender
- the air conditioning in our house (what a godsend!)
I wasnt tagged on this, I just thought it would be fun to do! Feel free to do it yourself if you wish!

What I wouldn't give for air conditioning right now! Tassie girl can't cope with this Melbourne heat!
And LOL I know the words to all the songs you mentioned too! I remember thinking the Kylie and Jase song was the most romantic song ever at the time - I was about 8!!!
Have a great weekend xxxx
Hey there,
just thought I would say HI!!
congrats on the baby bump! :) YAY
Hi Miss Vas,
Thanks for your comment on my blog. Yes it certainly is nice to follow the progress of other pregnant women, especially during your first. That way if anything happens it gives you an indication if it is normal or not! This is also our first after many years of trying and hardwork. We have been through 2 previous miscarriages but both of them were in early stages 4.5-5 weeks. I'm now 9 weeks today and I'm getting more and more excited with each day. I'm back to my specialist on the 31st at 10 weeks and he will organise the down syndrome test and then he is handing me over to another specialist to see me through the pregnancy. We decided to go the private way with this one as we've had so much trouble getting here that we want the one on one attention that you get with specialist. There's no way I want anything the jeoprodise this one!! The tiredness is starting to ease a little during the day but still need to be in bed around 9pm!! Congrats once again on your pregnancy and I look forward to following the progress! XX
Wow, working and living in London. That would have been fantastic!
I love London. I want to seriously ask about the gay friend sharing the bed story, but you said don't - so I won't (but if you want to spill go ahead LOL)
Glad you are finding your way back to the blog more often. Not sure if you are free on the 11th but would love to catch up with you for lunch with the girls if you are available. Jodie is coming, and Mary, Me, Linda, Julie, and perhaps Michelle. Should be fun.
Hope you have a great day :D
Another Jarvis fan... do u remember when he ran on stage when Michael Jackson was getting an award? how funny. Another person that doesn't like hats - it must be a Melb thing because we cant avoid them in Oct/Nov. have a great day.
Hi there. Glad to know someone else knows what Ryka's are LOL.
Lunch will be at Chinta Ria at Cockle Bay wharf at 12.00 on Saturday 11th Feb. I don't have your direct email so if you would like to send me one I will put you in the group so you can keep up with all the info. It is the last weekend of the Chinese New Year festival and the Dragon Boats will be racing so will be a great atmosphere.
Funny if we had passed each other in the park. At the moment I am ALWAYS wearing turquoise top / grey pants. I am trying to get my wear out of my clothes before they are too big on me. If you see me, say Hi, then avert your eyes at the hideousness that is me at my puffy red faced best :D
Thanks for sharing! This is a great way to get to know each other a little better. I should probably do it soon too.
