73 Things About Me - A Blogger's Version Of Vogue's 73 Questions!

I don't take part in tag blog posts quite as often as I used to but I always enjoy reading them and one that has been going around recently is the 73 thing about me - a blogger's version of Vogue's 73 questions. I last saw this on the lovely Lisa's blog and she left it open for anyone to take part so I had to share my answers. I'm not tagging anyone in particular so if you like the look of the questions, feel free to take part on your blog and let me know so I can have a read!

I love these Vogue parody Q&A's! I might have to do this soon. I don't like surprises either. My boyfriend was going to surprise me with tickets for Wicked on my last birthday but I went on about how much I hate surprises so much that he didn't bother haha!
