Right then, lets not beat around the bush here. Clearly I’m completely new to this and being my first blog it only seems appropriate to do the get to know me tag, so are you ready to get personal?
Here goes…. Don’t judge ha!!
1. Name
Melanie
2. Are you named after anyone?
Not as such but my parents did give me my name because it is made up of letters from both of their names. Does that count? Hmm. I’m going with it anyway.
3. Do you have any pets?
Yes, one little fur baby, also known as Charlie our little Jack Russell Terrier. What a little bugger he is at times as well! Anyone who owns a Jack Russell, or Terrier will know exactly what I mean.

4. What was the name of your first teddy as a child?
Sod. Yep, at about 4 years of age I named my little bear, SOD! Why you ask! I can only assume I was a bit of a terror in my earlier years because I would often be called a “little sod”, not knowing what the term meant I decided to name my bear that, very proudly might I add, and so Sod the bear was born!
5. Do you have any weird body skills?
Only the freakiest arms ever! My elbows are hyper mobile, very very much so. So much so at school I managed to fool someone into believing they broke my arm when they accidentally knocked it…. See, I told you I was a little sod! Hey, at least I can false tan and moisturise my own back!
6. Do you enjoy any weird food combinations?
Now look, lets not judge here, we’re all friends, right? Plus, if you haven’t actually tried this then really, you haven’t lived, you must go and prepare one immediately… MARS BAR SANDWICH! Oh yesss!! Seriously, stop twisting and go make one!
7. Favourite band / artist
Queen. Queen. Queen!! I am OBSESSED, with Freddie Mercury! Literally! I have a tattoo dedicated to him on my ribs, you’d have to be to get a rib inking!! Major ouch! *Shudders*
8. Do you have any bad habits?
Who doesn’t? I’m a picker, a compulsive, obsessive picker, if its not the skin around my nails, dry skin, its my lips, I legit pick the skin off my lips until they are red raw and bleeding! I know, I’m totally disgusting aren’t I ha, but at least it wasn’t something like I bite off my own toe nails! Don’t get me wrong I’d love to be able to have my foot reach that far! But no, just no!
9. Do you have any fears?
Flying!!! I am the worst flyer!! If I’m not off my box on far too many valium tablets and alcohol then its just not happening really.
10. Tea or coffee?
Tea. Love me a cup of char!
11. Favourite book?
Harry Potter!!! Can’t beat a bit of witchcraft and wizardry!

Pirates of the Caribbean, because Jack Sparrow!

17. What is your favourite perfume?
YSL Black Opium, a classic.
18. Have you broken any bones?
Yep, toe/foot, took a step, opened the door right over the left side of my foot including little toe and proceeded to walk…. followed by a stomach-churning CRACKKKK!! It makes me shudder at the thought!
19. What is your favourite day of the year?
ITSSSSSSS CHRISTTTTTMMASSSSS!! I kid you not, I am like Buddy the Elf, on prozac!! Seriously!
20. Last movie you watched?
Deadpool. HIL-ARI-OUS!!! The first time I watched it I nearly spat my drink out laughing! If you haven’t seen it, go, watch!
21. Do you have any tattoos and piercings?
I technically have 6 tattoos but two look like the same one, and I also have two piercings.
22. Any regrets?
Over plucking and one time shaving my eyebrows as a result of growing up in the 90s and 00s when barely-there brows were all the rage, now has left me looking like I have alopecia of the face! Who knew eyebrows would come to be so important!
23. Do you have any children?
No, just one little fur baby.
24. What is your zodiac sign?
Taurus, I’m a stubborn little bull.
