Grocery Shopping and Personals.
I'm linking up with Halie for a new version of First Things First - I'm so excited today, because today Hallie and Halie are re-starting their weekly link-up, with just a slightly spiced-up version, From Firsts to Lasts! Today though, let's just jump right into our 'first' topics!
This usually depends whether or not the grocery store in question is Tesco's - You see most Tesco stores have a clothing section right? Unless they're the Tesco Express ones. Another factor I consider is, if I'm with my Grandma or my Mum. If I'm with my Gran, then normally it's the Fruit and Veg aisle, but with my Mum we generally hit the clothing section. I'm not a big fan of food shopping but if it needs doing then I'd rather get in and get done.
First store you head to at the mall.
I have to admit, I don't really go to the mall much these days. I used to go quite a lot before I met Kevin. Kevin hates shopping. He will mostly buy his clothes on-line, but if I do get to the mall, whether it be Trafford Centre or Arndale Centre (Both in Manchester UK), it's most like to be Selfidges in the Trafford Centre or Marks & Spencer in the Arndale.

Blog Everyday In May - Days 6 & 7 Jobs and Spiders
Anyway I know I've missed out on a couple of these, but I'm going to catch up now and hopefully I'll be back blogging everyday.
So Day 6, Monday: If you couldn't answer with your job, how would you answer the question, 'what do you do'?
I'm an Administrative Assistant. Short, simple answer. I'd like to thing of myself as an amateur blogger, photographer and all round nice person. Or to put it mildly - A Dogsbody.
Day 7, Tuesday: The thing(s) you're most afraid of.
Oh this is obvious. Spiders. I just simply hate them. Even the small ones.
I think my fear got worse when my brother decided he wanted a Chilean rose tarantula
as a pet. In the summer it lived in a fish tank in the garage, but come winter he would bring it inside and kept it in his bedroom, in a smaller glass cage. The cage had a plastic mesh roof with a small flap on top so that you could get it out (not that you would want to.) and every night I could hear it tapping either it's leg or it's fangs on the flap. It would sit upside down against it.I was secretly relived when it died. It scared the hell out of me that Spider. I have always been afraid of spiders ever since.
Five for 5
