So a few bloggers have done these 30 facts about me posts recently - I thought I might join in too :) I think the challenge will be thinking of 30 things about me, I'm not really that exciting - I may have to stop at 20! Oh well, here goes...

1. (Some of you may know this already) - I live on a small island, population about 200, 1 mile by 2 miles, off the coast of Cornwall! It's nice and I live about 10 metres from the beach! It's called Tresco, in the Isles of Scilly - Google it!
2.  I'm a massive dog lover - we have 2 springer spaniels at home and I adore them
3. I didn't go abroad until I was 17
4. But now I'm desperate to go travelling!
5. I don't eat cheese unless it's melted! (probably the weirdest thing about me, people are often horrified to hear this!)
6. I own over 70 pairs of shoes
7. I'm half Scottish
8. I used to play football a lot and was my University Womens Football club 2nd team captain in my final year. I really miss it but made some great friends whilst there :)
9. I sometimes get sleep paralysis
10. My mum is my style inspiration. She's 55, looks better than me on a daily basis, and taught me how to be adventurous and creative with what I wear
11. I currently work at my local pub, doing housekeeping and barwork. It's OK for now but after travelling all I want is to do something in fashion
12. I've only just discovered Instagram and Whatsapp. Absolutely shameful I know
13. I have what some would consider terrible taste in music - I love Girls Aloud, The Saturdays and have recently fallen in love with 1D's Kiss You - but I LOVE it. Guilty pleasure toons are my thang!!
14. I'm 24 and have a 19 year old boyfriend - true toyboy sitch!
15. I love a good sausage roll
16. I don't wear make-up although am considering starting to - I really want to experiment with colourful lipsticks!
17. I left home at 16 to go to college on the mainland. It was daunting but great for my independence
18. I like to think I have very good manners - I can't stand people who are impolite or rude, it costs nothing to say your Ps and Qs people!
19. I've loved hi-tops for ages, long before they recently became high-fashion. I think I got my first pair just before I went to uni, probably in about 2008.
20. I'm terrible at remembering birthdays and hate myself for it!
21. I really want a pair of retro roller skates
22. I love wearing fake glasses even though I probably look like a Class A tool in them
23. My fave TV program EVER is the US Office - it's frikkin hilarious and if you haven't watched it - do it, now!! I'll lend you the DVDs :p
24. I sing in a band at home, just covers, playing local pub gigs but it's really fun
25. I don't mind tattoos on other people but would never get one myself
26. I pride myself on being a nice person, I would hate to treat people badly
27. I'm awful at watching films, I have such a short attention span I can only watch them if I'm doing other stuff at the same time!
28. I LOVE wiwt.com and it makes my day if I get Editor's Choice
29. I think having good friends is one of the most important things in life. Surrounding yourself with people that make you a better person is intrinsic to a healthy life
30. My first ever shopping trip to the mainland was for my 10th birthday. I bought a black puffa jacket and a red sequin dress. My life has never been the same since. In a good way :)
