Can you all hear me at the back?

Oh gosh, I've been tagged!  Marie (Marie's Muses), having herself been challenged to give 6 "Things about me", then had to challenge 6 others!  So anyway, while I'm honoured that I popped into someone's mind, I'm not sure there are that many things about me that would interest anyone.  I'll have a go,.....now let me think........

1.    When I was 7 I had a Reading Age (how they assessed it then) of 16.  My junior school report says so.  I don't know why because I was never particularly good at anything else.  I can only think it was because my mum taught me to read before I went to school, flying in the face of the governmental advice of the time.  I firmly believe that was the start of me filling my head with useless information which only ever comes in handy for the Sunday Express Crossword and the Daily Telegraph Cryptic.  And for screaming at the telly for Eggheads and Millionaire.

2.    I cry.  I would love to have a bash at Weakest Link but would cry if Anne Robinson had a go at me!  If I'm cross about something, I can't take issue with the source of my wrath because I get about five words out and dissolve in tears.

3.    I laugh.  I'm a nervous laugher.  I laugh (just silent spluttering) when the bride is walking down the aisle because if I didn't I would cry.  Same with funerals and that's even worse!

4.    I snore.  Apparently.  Keith says.  I would like to say "But hey, what does he know." but I fear it's true.  He alleges that's why our neighbours decided to swap their living room and bedroom over, so their bedroom no longer adjoins ours.

5    Most people know I'm terrified of butterflies and moths but in my time (for which read childhood) I've been scared of birds, balloons, flowers, bats and stained glasss windows (huh?), all at the same time!  All of them stem back to the original butterflies.

    ..........gosh this is hard......

6.    All through school I wanted to play the piano or the violin or both,  and be a nurse.  Ah - no - there was a brief period when I wanted to be a bus conductress because I used to love bell pushes and tearing perforations and bus conductresses got to do these things all day, every day.  All I got play was the recorder and at the time I thought this was very melodic and tuneful but listening as an adult to school recorder bands - nasty, screechy things.  Sorry kids!

Well, there's my 6 so now I get to be picker of six pickees and my pickees  are:
