100 Favourite Things.

1) Everything relating to my children- laughing with them, being silly, baking with them, dancing with them, watching them sleep(they look so peaceful and angelic), enjoying my children's innocence before society taints it! Oh to be young and free again!

2) Writing - poetry mainly, but I am writing a book too :)

3) Reading, I am a book worm, love all kinds of literature, from Shakespeare to even 50 shades of grey, (yes I read it) I like a bit of sauciness ;) I probably read too much, I live and breathe words.

4) Driving (yes very boyish I know)

5) Cars, I love cars, the way they're designed, the mechanics behind them, they are mostly intelligently designed. (Yes I've said mostly because I've had a few dodgy ones)

6) Being a mum and all that goes with it. I'm sure if any of you have read my past posts about my life, you will know I was only 17 when I gave birth to my eldest, blimey Jeremy Kyle would have a field day! But I hope I've proven I don't fit the "kids having kids stereotype" and even though parenting can be tough I wouldn't have it any other day. My daughters disabled and she's an inspiration.

7) #disabilityaware I'm very humbled with how many of you have contributed towards this project, (if you haven't why not??) ;) this project is something that someone spurred me on to do after their ugly comments, but I'm going to turn that into something beautiful!! So thanks guys :)

8) Opuss - need I say more?

9) Family and Friends, -hanging out, talking, having bizarre convos, you get the jist.

10) Going to the cinema- I like pretty much all genres of film, action, horror, rom com......

11) Music- is huge in my life. I have an eclectic taste, like all types of music, even a little bit of classical. To me it's about the way the music makes me feel, I find music can evoke an emotion in me, the heartbreaker music, the happy music, the chilled music, the passionate, the music that makes you feel strong, god I could go on forever. Music to me is a soundtrack to life.

12) Soaps- yes I'm a soap addict!! But I hate Emmerdale with a passion. I like corrie, Enders, and hollyoaks!

13) Derren Brown - this man is a genius - the things he can do with the mind is awesome, he's highly educated and I'd love to have an hour or two to pick his brains. This is why I love my brother. He got my tickets to go see him in may- I'm so so so excited about that!!

42) Flowers - especially Asian flowers :)

I share with you alot of things really. But cars I don't understand and don't drive (got driver), cooking I don't do (got a cook) and thunderstorms scare me but don't know what to get for that πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

You're gonna love Derren Brown hun πŸ‘ I can't get enough of what he does, we went to see him and it was utterly superb. ❀❀❀😘

@sarahgamal What you need for that is Mother Nature πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ bet she's quite expensive though! I'd love a cook πŸ‘ thank you for the lovely repost sweetie 😘❀

@blacknova thank you for the lovely repost honey 😘❀

@patdolan83 thank you for the lovely rp honey 😘❀🍺

@leelee101 I'm sure I will!! I'm so excited I may pee πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ he is just amazing!! I've watched everything he does on tele so I can only imagine watching him live will just be fantastic!! πŸ˜˜β€πŸ’‹πŸ’‹

@sammielee46 and don't be scared to go along with it all, he makes you feel totally at ease and is a lot funnier than you imagine! πŸ‘πŸ‘β€

@leelee101 fabulous! Not sure if I'd be happy going up on stage. My brothers loved till at least Christmas now! We're the 7th row from the front!! What fab seats! Then my best mate got us 2nd row seats for Jimmy Carr's tour! I just know I'm going to get picked on πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜˜πŸ‘

@BethyBoo thank you for reposting sweetie 😘❀😊

That's fascinating to read. You have put lots of things that should have been on my list too. I didn't spend enough time thinking about it! ☺😘

@crowncottage well I wouldn't call it copying if you added to yours, great minds think alike 😊 I didn't think I'd actually reach 100 so I'm quite chuffed I did! Sometimes life can bog you down with frustration and its hard to remember the things that are beautiful that we just take for granted. I read a book recently about mindfulness. I believe everyone should research it. It's about living in the now and noticing the small things, there's more to it but I couldn't sum the rest of that up πŸ˜‚πŸ˜˜β€

@crowncottage and thank you for the repost lovely Linda 😘😊

Thank you, I will edit mine and add the extras, or do a part two! I can't believe I forgot to add Opuss! πŸ˜‚

What was the title of the book, I would like to read it.

@crowncottage πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ it kinda goes without saying anyways πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜˜ Do a part 2 it would probably be easier πŸ‘ the book was called "Mindfulness. A practical guide to finding peace in a frantic world" absolutely fantastic and well worth the read 😘😊❀

Too late, I added them on the end of the original. I realise it means they probably won't be seen, but I wanted them on there to make it more complete. Still not 100 and I couldn't remember exactly your username, I need to go back again to credit you! 😘

@crowncottage you don't need to credit me, we are all going to have some similarities within our 100! 😊😘❀

@sammielee46. Sammie you have just made me realise that this is part of a competition or something, I must get the hang of this # signs what they are for. Is it all from a particular book? πŸ‘―πŸ‘―πŸ‘―

@marymint no people here make up challenges and create their own #. This one in particular is an idea that someone came up with to write 100 of your favourite things or things to do. By adding the # other people can search these and find others whom they aren't following so they can read them too. If that makes any sense. @crowncottage maybe you could add to what I've said? 😘❀😊

@marymint also @Burrfoot did a list of the # maybe Mr teddyburr could tag you in that particular post. They really just act as an inspiration to write if you want to join in 😊😘🌹

@sammielee46. Thank you, I likeπŸ™πŸ™πŸ’ that idea

Sorry, I have been out but you explained perfectly! 😊

@crowncottage at least I can get something right then πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ thanks Linda 😘❀ and @marymint you are very welcome 😘❀

I heard you are always right, about everything! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜˜

@crowncottage πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ where'd you hear that? I wish! πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ mind you we are women and women are always right πŸ˜‚πŸ˜œπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜˜

A woman told me! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚βœŠthat's supposed to show girl power! 😊

@crowncottage well I guess she must be right then πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ ✊✊ girl power straight back at you!! 😘🌹❀
