Tell me something surprising about yourself

[gr8nailz]

My first school was Corona academy stage school of arts from the age of 5 until the age of 8.
I'm in fiddler on the roof, a couple of hammer house of horror stories. The persuaders and far to many adverts to remember. I was on a giant bill board in the middle of London for ages seen sitting on a giant wheat a bix. My first boyfriend was Russel Lewis, he played young Whinston Churchill in the film about his life. Russel grew up to be a doctor. My god father owned the first private car hire company in London, before him it was just black cabs.
I've moved home 15 times and lived in 4 countries.
My first job was on a fair ground at a spooky haunted house. I was so scared of the dark that I never went inside it even though I worked there for 3 summers. Now, I can't sleep unless the room is completely dark! I have to have black out blinds at the windows:biggrin:
I used to have a timber wolf for a family pet.

Spooky Drama Queen. ;o)

I'm heavily tattooed, about 90% covered, arm pieces, full back piece, chest piece, ribs and more lol nobody even realises unless I'm wearing a vest or t-shirt:wink2: I was also diagnosed with borderline cervical cancer at the age of 24,caught literally in the nick of time:biggrin: But still have to be tested yearly for the next 10 years and a 50/50 chance that I could get cervical cancer, I also have 9 cats,absolutely love pink and red,which if you see me,you would understand why thats a shocker:biggrin: Also work in a builders yard,with 30 odd men and hold my own quite happily,oh and tonight I found out that I'm not as hard as I make out,which was a shocker to me, but I guess someone trying to break into your house while your in would do that to you :Scared: There's probably way more than I can even think of right now lol Oh I'm a bit like Phoebe off friends, kooky and a tad mad, but not really surprising if you read the above:wink2:

Big love to you. I wish everyone could be as lucky xxx

I used to be a synchronised swimmer for Sussex but had to give it up when I kept getting repeated ear and sinus infections as the doctor said I would cause permanent damage. I was gutted! Still adore swimming now though xx

I've been in the Royal Navy for 7 years as a Communications and IT specialist, serving in Sierra Lione, The Gulf, the Caribbean where we captured drug smugglers with millions of pound of cocaine and have been all over the world. I had to lower a ceremonial flag in front of John Prescott, have had to play a ceremonial whistle called a 'pipe' for Dame Ellen Macarther when she was visiting my ship, have met Richard Hammond when he was filming on my ship and also Jodie Kidd who was doing a photo shoot. I'm now going to leave all this behind as I'm retraining as a beauty therapist/nail tech as although I loved it at 18 as a married mother of one it no longer fits around my life anymore and my passion lies in making people beautiful! It always has as even at sea I was the 'unofficial' eyebrow shaper, hair styler, etc! Lol.

I've been hit by a car once, and by a van once in the space of two weeks, I've fallen off the motorcycle and had my leg twisted into its wheel. Every time got away scrape free , I nearly drowned once but my father saved me. I've been playing around with poisonous snakes as a little girl as my father was into reptiles. I come from country a, live in country b, work for country c. I've lost 30 kg, gone down from size 30 (UK) to 12 (UK). I can't think of any other weird stuff just now

I was on Where There's Life with Miriam Stoppard when I was a goofy 11 year old with terrible bunches and a dress my Grandma had made.....I will find some picures....
I hate the tops of tomatoes because they look like spiders
I met Princess Diana who was lovely
The first baby I delivered was the daughter of Stevie V (famous for a song called Dirty Cash in 1990ish). Her name is Tanisha...20 years later she finds me on facebook and makes me feel really old. She's now a musician herself, maybe we'll record together one day.
I sing in a wedding and corporate function band
My godson is a west end musical theatre star
I walked around on a fractured pelvis for 6 months popping ibuprofen before another fall in the bath sent me to the hospital.
I am a cervical cancer survivor and can therefore only have fur babies

Loving this thread x

Wow some great stories on here.

About me:
I went to 36 different primary schools. My step father was on the run from the police so we moved every 6 mths and changed our names, first and last, about four times (not officially of course or he'd of been caught).
He eventually got caught when I was about 8 and went back to prison for 2 or 3 years (can't remember). I never found out what he did wrong.
