40 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Me

Hello!

How’s your Monday been? Today I thought I’d share a bit more of a personal post so that you can get to know me better. So, here’s 40 things you probably didn’t know about me….

1. I was born on my due date, I wasn’t early nor late!
2. I currently have braces and I have pink bands on them!
3. I wear 2 hearing aids due to a high frequency bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (Yes, that’s the full name!)
4. I don’t really have a favourite food… I don’t really enjoy food to be honest!
5. I have 2 cats called Rodney & Dylan who are 3 years old
6. When I was younger I wanted to change my name!
7. I already know what I want to call my kids when I am older (Grace for a girl, Charlie for a boy!)
8. I have an iPhone SE and I’m not planning to upgrade for a while
9. My hair is naturally really curly and I hate it because it’s really hard to brush so it hurts my head a lot and also I can’t really do anything with it except tie it up in a ponytail
10. I bought all my schools supplies for college an entire year before I was due to start
11. I love photography, and I’m doing it for A level!
12. I think I’m really good at gymnastics, but I’m not!
13. I write right handed but there’s some things I do with my left
14. I’m left footed (basically my left foot is in front in splits)
15. My college interview was about an hour long, and everyone else’s was about 20 minutes…
16. I have Joint Hypermobility Syndrome with a Beighton Score (level of bendyness) of 9/9!
17. I don’t have a job right now, but I’m looking!
18. I first started blogging in 2013 and I was at jessslouise.blogspot.co.uk and I have restarted at least 5 times to get to where I am now
19. My blog is actually hosted by one of my mum’s friends!
20. There’s a small village in Scotland which shares a name with me, my surname!
21. For a while, my favourite subject at school was maths…
22. …and then it was science….
23. …but I’m not doing either of these for A Level
24. I have 10 GCSEs C and above
25. I wanted to be a vet when I was younger (or an actual animal if you asked any of my teachers!)
26. I’ve wrote a book about my old cats (Charlie and Winston) and one day I’d like to get it published because why the heck not!
27. My friends call me Jeff because we went bowling once and on the score board the staff had spelt my name wrong!
28. I literally went swimming for my 16th birthday… that’s it.
29. I only have UK size 3 feet and in fact one of my pairs of shoes is actually a size 2

31. I have a form of dyslexia.
32. I never really been in a relationship.
33. I’m only 5 foot!
34. I’ve never broken a bone but I have sprained my elbow and toe quite badly before and I’ve pulled a lot of muscles!
35. I have very dark brown eyes (can you tell I’m running out of ideas??)
36. My first phone, which I got when I was 10 or 11, was my dad’s old iPhone 3G…
37. …and after that I got a Samsung Galaxy Young (Y) which got stolen when I went camping somewhere which meant my mum had to upgrade her phone so that I could have her old iPhone 4 which then I upgraded to a 4S which then got upgraded to a 5S and then finally an SE! (Yep, that’s my phone story!)
38. My favourite lip balms are the round EOS ones (HIGHLY recommend)
39. I love stationery; I’ve already bought my 2018 diary!
40. I have a whiteboard in my room which currently has all the posts planned out that I want to do between now and roughly the middle of January!

I hope you’ve enjoyed this post, I realise it may be a bittttttt boring but it’s meant to be practical, as in hopefully you know me a bit better now!

See you again on Fridayyyyyyy!
