The beautiful Stacey at Sunny Mummy has passed me the Kreative Blogger Meme (thank you Sunny Stacey). This award states that I must list 7 random things about me so here we go!
1. My mum and dad took my sister and I to the local RSL club every Friday night for dinner from the moment we were born (well maybe I was a week old!) – we would go every week without fail and we would sit and eat our food and not leave the table (so we were told!) – we did this for 18 years and I do remember religiously ordering Angels on Horseback (OMG do they still exist).
2. My first car was a silver Hyundai Excel named Holly
3. I have a thing for White Platters and have collected so many over the years that I have a cupboard called the platter cupboard – I am so thingy about food being presented on white platters that if someone brings food into my house that is not on a white platter when they are not looking I will take it off their platter and put it onto one of mine! (Please be mindful of this if you ever visit!)
4. You are either a handbag person or a shoe person – I am definitely without doubt a handbag person!!
5. I had 8 different addresses in my first 21 years of life and have had 8 addresses in the last 21 years (hoping this current address will do me for the next 21!)
6. I love Stationery – paper, envelopes, storage boxes, labels, folders, gift wrap, ribbon
7. I love the name Noah for a boy but my husband wasn’t that keen on it – lucky we didn’t have boys!
So now I have shared 7 random things about me I must pass this award on to some other lovely bloggers – hoping these friends would like to play

I am with you on the zillion addresses. I to have moved a lot. Now that I have kids though, I want to stay here forever 🙂 Moving is NO FUN!
I used to be a shoe person, but I seem to be moving to the handbag person these days. I love that I now have a daughter and she will enjoy all the shoes and handbags I have when she gets older. What fun!
I am totally a shoe person! Boots in particular. My first car was a Camry named Banana because its number plate was BNN. My new car is called Elise the Altise. People think I’m crazy cause I name my cars.
Loving the RSL memories Leanne! My first car was a 1978 Toyota Corona called Bertha the Blue Bullet. I loved that car – it represented FREEDOM!! I’ll try and think of some random stuff and post about it soon. Thanks for sharing this:) Meredy xo.
p.s. any chance of a catch up in the second week of holidays? I’m so keen to hear all about your new adventures.
i love stationery too -im a paper goods addict! i too had a few special girl names picked out but i had two boys so that made it easy that i didnt have to choose!
Cool! Thanks Leanne, I’ll have to come up with seven interesting things. Love what you wrote about… I collect white platters too. Everything and anything looks more expensive on them!
What fun! I just found your blog and this was a great “introduction.” 🙂
I, too, have had MANY addresses. Eleven (maybe twelve?) so far and I’m only 26!
I must disagree though, on your statement about being either a shoe person or a handbag person. I’m not either one, but I have a sister who’s both, so I guess she makes up for me! I’m a dishes/linens person, and I have enough teacups to open up my own tea parlor!
I’m looking forward to poking around your blog some more.
Oh, where did the photo you have on this post come from? It’s lovely. 🙂
Oooh this will be a challenge dear Leanne! Off to think of something vaguely interesting. I love the idea of your platter cupboard!
Millie ^_^
I was smiling while I was reading through your list…more similarities I see…my father was in the Air Force, I have moved so many times, it’s insane. I am a handbag girl for sure, completely adore stationery and would definately bring something over on a white platter, so that will work. Noah was one of the names on our list when I was pregnant with Jeremiah…but I have never been to the RSL! Lovely to learn more about you Leanne. xx
