Randomness abounds

In a random YOU'RE IT fly by TAGGING, Absolute Vanilla (and her chickeny hijacker) bade me to come up with 7 bits of randomness ~ I believe she's trying to keep from more of my thieving ways ... it'll take more than that Ms AV!!

The rules are as follows ...

Link to the person’s blog who tagged you.
Post these rules on your blog.
List seven random and/or weird facts* about yourself.
Tag seven random [?] people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
Let each person know that they have been tagged by posting a comment on their blog.

1. I'm allergic to cat hair, it makes me sneeze and my ears swell.

2. I haven't been to London this year even though I only live 35.8 miles from Charring Cross (the centre of London).

3. My favourite tinned soup is Heinz Cream of Tomato. It gives me heart burn.

4. I have had mehndi on the palm of my left hand since Tuesday. I couldn't go to the loo for 45 minutes whilst it dried - I was fairly desperate by that time!!

5. I used to be on the school synchronized swimming team - I can hold my leg straight up in the air at a 90 degree angle from my body whilst floating on the surface of a swimming pool whilst wearing lipstick and a fixed grin.

6. I can't ice skate. I've never fallen over whilst ice skating but I just know that I can't ice skate.

7. My favourite Italian-y sounding word is piccolina. I call the girls in class piccolina. I call the boys piccalilli.

I'm not tagging 7 of you, just have a go if you fancy it :o)

* Do I got to stop at just 7? I could be random for months at a time!
** I don't think it's a real Italian word!
