Heidi's 'Seven Things' list

*this post has been updated*

Argh! This took me ages!

Seven things to do before I die:
1. Go to Egypt
2. Go back to Corsica for a second honeymoon (for longer than four days this time!)
3. Sing in a smoke-filled nightclub, in a swanky dress
4. Find my vocation- as if motherhood wasn't enough!
5. See a revival (in Carterton?)
6. Not screw up my kids or my husband any more than is inevitable
7. Lose my baby tummy and become a hot young mama! (snigger)

Seven things I cannot do:
1. Maths (by about £35,000 apparently!)
2. Geography- even finding our car in a car park. I kid you not.
3. Say no to people, or chips
4. Give directions
5. Stop my hair and fingernails growing at a ridiculous rate, or even stop time altogether
6. A french plait
7. Survive on a small amount of sleep

Seven things that attract me to my spouse:
1. That he humours me
2. How great he is with kids, not just our own
3. His stamina and determination
4. You've got to love a French-speaker!
5. That he's big and tall and manly
6. His tenderness
7. His bottom (You asked!)

Seven things I say most often:
1. I'm going to count to three...
2. Sweeeeet
3. I need Coke/chips/chocolate
4. I'm knackered
5. If only.../I wish...
6. No way!
7. Right, so...
