OK...so here's where I start....Day1 I have to tell a bit about me, add a recent picture and tell 15 interesting facts.

A bit about me. Well I'm Di (was born Diane...but no-one calls me that these days). I live in Sydney with my husband Aidan, and we have a 10yr old daughter Emma. I'm known as scrappy*di around digiland. And here's a recent picture


And here's my 15 interesting facts. Well, I'm not sure that they're that interesting...but they are facts....lol!

1. I met my husband in the UK. I'd moved to London to study Drama, but got a transfer to Qantas up there so I had an income to support myself. He was working there, and we became freinds. Friendship turned to romance, and the rest as they say is history.
2. I'm seriously addicted to reality TV. Amazing Race is probably my fave. But I love Idol, Masterchef, Escape to the Country, The Mole (when it was on)
3. I love soppy, girly, chick-flicks. Love Actually is one of my all time favourite movies, along with Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Yes...I'm an Audrey Hepburn fan too!
4. I'm addicted to coffee! But I am seriously trying to cut back this year.
5. Chocolate is my friend! But I am seriously trying to cut back this year. Do you see a pattern happening here...LOL!
6. My favourite colour is pink.
7. I work part-time for Qantas Airways, working out the airfares to charge between Europe & Australia and Africa & Australia. It's the best job I've had in a long time.
8. I love most genres of music and can often be heard singing at the top of my voice.
9. I adore being a mum, and always wanted to have a large family...but life doesn't always turn out as you plan. We have one gorgeous princess who came into our lives quite unexpectedly after 9 years of infertility and much heartache!
10. I have one brother who is 7 years younger than me. So I grew up as an only child for the formative years of my life. I definitely have 'only child' tendancies...LOL!
11. I want to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge
12. I have 5 piercings, but no tatoos.
    
13. I love to travel, and have been lucky enough to travel to every continent in the world.
14. The farthest I have been from home is Iceland.
15. My iphone is my friend!
    

So there it is. I've just realised that I am a couple of days behind everyone else, so I am going to try and do a bit of a catchup tomorrow.
