Seven Random Facts About Me:

1. I got my motorbike license before I got my car license.
2. I’m very comfortable sitting on the floor. In fact, I often prefer it to furniture.
3. I’m rather conceited about the metabolism I inherited from my mother. I show this by eating dessert while watching The Biggest Loser. How bad is that!
