Anyhoo, the idea is to write 50 facts about yourself. Seems simple, but according to the others that have done this, it’s surprisingly hard. Also, I’m going to do a little bit obscure ones that maybe you didn’t know.

1. I don’t have a middle name
2. I wanted to have my middle name as Isabelle, but it rhymes with my last name and would’ve ended in disasterious nicknames.
3. I have blue eyes.
4. I have three scars on my tummy, two on my face and one on my leg from scratching chicken pox when I was little
5. Regarding these chicken pox a doctor, when I was little, thought they were cigarette burns (awkward)

21. I can be slightly vain
22. Vain, in a jokey way

24. I once flooded my bedroom by putting my pyjamas in the sink and leaving the tap on
