There’s a tag going around on Instagram where called 20 things about me, and as the title suggests, you tell people twenty things about yourself. From what I can tell, that is the only rule. What you decide to divulge is entirely up to you.

I was tagged last week by @MsXpat, who blogs over at Tiger Tales. I actually found the exercise quite hard to complete and had to come back to my list over a few sittings in order to reach the twenty mark. Who knew that someone who talks so much could be lost for words when it came to talking about oneself?

Anyway, I thought it would be nice to put my #20thingsaboutme on here for all of you to see too. So without no further ado, here are twenty random facts about moi.

#1 I’m the eldest of two kids.
#2 I’ve serious weight insecurities, so much so that I sometimes avoid social events because I feel everyone will stare at me in disgust. Seriously. It’s irrational but something I can’t shake.
#3 I love travelling
#4 I used to run for Enfield and Haringey Harriers as a teen
#5 I have a impulsive personality
#6 I hate doing my hair. I love hairdressers doing it though.
#7 I used to think I was a twin. I’m not
#8 I have a massive crush on Denzel Washington
#9 I have a phobia of sharp objects poking my eyes (pens, car antennas, fishtail combs…)
#10 I taught English in Northern China for a year
#11 I’m messy.
#12 I have a habit of fixating over small details
#13 I love to write
#14 I hoard books
#15 I want to have three kids by 30. A tad impossible.
#16 I have discovered a love for photography
#17 I can’t say the word sandwich
#18 I have big feet
#19 I love being alone just as much as I love being surrounded by people. Constant tug of war. Seriously
#20 I usually ignore convention.

So there you have it, 20 things about me!

Have you taken part in this? If not, why not have a go writing 20 things about yourself and post it on Instagram too? Be sure to tag me so I can have a snoop! (@circusmum_)
