Ten things you didn't know about me! #Chicandstylish #LINKUP

Morning my lovely friends.
Hope all is well with you are in blogging land.
I'm feeling a little despondent of late, you know comparing, see what others are doing and wondering why little ol' me should think I can do this blogging lark.  I know I shouldn't compare myself to others, but my juggling skills just don't cut the mustard sometimes.  I'm trying to complete a marathon on all my social media sites and on the blog - visiting, commenting, and sharing seems to be all I do - but it doesn't seem to make a different, my numbers don't seem to be going anywhere!  If you have a secret answer, please pass it on!!!
A little late with posting today, had to rush out and get these photos done last minute, many thanks to my son who I begged to take photos before he went training. Hugs to you darling. x
So my #ootd for getting my fringe trimmed and looking after my grandson is this.  It's an old number put together through haste rather then knowing it would work, but I think I've just about managed it!

Do you all know Nancy - Nancy's Fashion Style she blogs about her fashion and lifestyle with many additions peppered throughout her posts. Recently she shared a fabulous one about herself.  She told us all about ten things we didn't already know about her.  Such an interesting insight into someone so imaginative and likeable.
So today I'm sharing my 'Ten things you don't know about me!'
Before we see what they are I want to take you through what I'm wearing first.
A stretchy pencil skirt is a must for any wardrobe and I have a few to my name.  I've had it for ages and it's always a winning addition to whatever I team it with.  Normally paired with a jumper I'm pleased it looks just as good with this pretty silky blouse and black peplum style jacket - previously seen here with these cute floral trousers.  The neck wasn't a good match so I grabbed this floral scarf which did the trick and covered it up!

My stretchy skirt fits in just the right places and isn't too tight.  I've teamed it with a short sleeved blouse that has been around for a long while, it fits me better these days and is a soft mink colour that matches perfectly the background of my skirt.  I've worn long boots to save wearing tights something that I hate wearing, they're just so uncomfortable either being too snug and tight, or fall down - do you have this problem?  Back in the day I used to slip another pair of pants over the top to keep them in place, anyone else do that??

The obvious choice was my pale pink Lotus shoes bag - I love the intricate cut out design, and the long handle means it can be worn cross-body for a safer, sporty feel.

Read all about these long boot here - they're from Lotus Shoes and are so useful now the weather has changed.

Ten things you don't know about me!

1. I have a distinctive birth mark on my left thigh.
2. I've been on telly twice - once on Top of The Pops in 1981, secondly on Ten Years Younger when I was interviewed on Carnaby Street by Nicky Hambleton Jones about adding brighter colours to a beige outfit - hence making yourself look younger.
3. I love music - all sorts of music.  My genre choices are vast - loving anything from classic, jazz funk, disco, club & cheesy 80's vibes - anything really that I can dance to!
4. I worked in a Travel Agents before having the children - making lifelong friends along the way. I managed a couple of educational holidays too.
5. I jumped from a cliff in to the sea - resulting in a rather large bruise and very sore & achy legs after entering the water in a sitting position - ouch!
6. I used to live down the road from Harry Hill & Janet Street Porter.
7. As a baby I had curly hair, but after my sister cut my curls off when she found scissors it's now poker straight!
8. I held the school 100m record for a few years at 13.9 seconds!
9. I met my husband at college & have been married for 33 years. 
10. I had a Saturday job once I was 16 and worked in a shoe shop called Freeman, Hardy and Willis.
