Double Belle Trouble

I have been tagged, twice, by both Belle's that I follow! Thank you so much Bama Belle in the Big City and Une Belle Vie - I'm loving the fun distraction of answering these questions. If you haven't already, please go and check out both of these blogs - they're fabulous.

It's freezing here - today as well as the snow we have loads of ice. Great. I've been at work since 07:20 this morning... Mr B drove me here on his way to work so that I didn't have to drive in the death trap Mazda. He's a gent. I've already got a lot done and I'm in no mood for faffing around so I'm being naughty and lazy with the tag-rules. Please forgive me!

What were you doing​ and who were you with at 9:59 PM on Frida​y night​?​​​ Snuggling on the sofa watching tv with Mr B.

What is the last thing you read/are currently reading? I'm reading Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky. It took me a little while to get into, but I'm really enjoying it now.

Do you nap a lot? No, apart from when I'm ill. I wish I did but I always feel awful after sleeping during the day.

Who was the last person you hugged? Mr B.

What is your current obsession/addiction? Getting ideas & inspiration for my little home.

What was the last thing you said out loud? "Aren't the cars loud?" to my colleague. The cars outside our window are crushing ice as they drive and making a lot of racket.

What websites do you always visit when you go online? Blogger of course, Hotmail, Facebook, Sky News.

What was the last item you bought? Some Dermalogica goodies.

What is your most challenging goal? At the moment it's to find a new, enjoyable, job - the credit crunch has affected my job hunt a lot more than I imagined it would... there's nothing out there!

If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished- anywhere in the world, where would it be? Holland, so I could be closer to my family.

Favorite Vacation spot? Bali, Indonesia. It's magical.

Name one thing you can not live with out: TEA. Strong but with lots of milk. No sugar. Can't beat it.

Has a celebrity's haircut ever influenced you on your own hairstyle? No, they copy me! I'm not all that experimental with my hair, it's normally mid-length/long with a longish blunt frige. I had a fringe WAY before Keira Knightley aka copy cat, ha.

If you could pick one ingredient in a mojito that best represents you what would it be and why? Lime. I'm a Limey.
