Day 2 : 20 Facts About Me #BEDAoutmumbered

I really struggled to put my list of 20 facts about me together; it's hard to think of myself as anything other than a Mum and a Housewife lately. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not...?

1. Although everyone knows me as Shay, my 'real name' is actually Sharon. I rarely use it - especially as it rhymes with my Husband's name, Aaron!
2. I used to be Vegetarian...up until my second pregnancy when my little man left me craving chicken, pork and fish in copious amounts.
3. I'm a chocoholic and can quite often be found scoffing chocolate bars for breakfast. Oops!
4. I'm a runner and I'm going slightly stir-crazy recently as I've had to take a break due to injury and health issues. I'm hoping to be back out and about in the next few weeks *fingers crossed*
5. I'm a scaredy-cat and have far too many fears to count and name.
6. Despite being pretty good at killing houseplants I'm quite a keen gardener and enjoy growing our own food and flowers from seed with my two 'terrors.'
7. I love the smell of freshly washed laundry.
8. I can't stand the smell of cut grass - it makes me feel physically sick.
9. I love to read and I have a book case filled with books from all genres.
10. I'm a reality TV addict and can't get enough of MasterChef, Big Brother, Next Top Model, Dragon's Den and the likes.
11. I have 5 tattoos. The most visible one, on my forearm, I absolutely hate and regret and I'm currently saving for a cover-up. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll have enough to get it done as a Birthday present to myself next March.
12. I love music but I am completely useless at playing any kind of instrument or singing.
13. Before having my children I worked as a Senior Administrator.
14. I have a huge collection of nail varnish and haven't gone a day without having my nails painted for years. I don't feel 'right' without it :/
15. I am a feminist.
16. Growing up I wanted to be a Legal Advisor - I even started a Law Degree at University but poor timing and health issues meant I had to leave. A part of me still hopes to enter the Legal profession one day.
17. I've been with my Husband since I was 18; he was my high-school sweetheart and we've been together for 8 and a half years and married for just over 1 year.
18. I'm planning on taking my two swimming during the Summer Holiday's this year and I am TERRIFIED!! I haven't been in the water since an incident in a rough sea when I was 15/16.
19. I'm a home-bird and have lived in the same town all my life.
20. I live in skinny jeans and t-shirts and don't have much else in my wardrobe!
