The Daily 11

I was tagged in the Daily 11 by Me from My Journey - Am I There Yet? .

I hope you enjoy these random facts about me 

The Rules :

Post the rules
  1. You must post 11 random things about yourself
  2. Answer the questions set for you in this post
  3. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer
  4. Go to their  blog and tell them you have tagged them
  5. No stuff in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you are reading this" - you legitimately have to tag 11 people (However if I haven't tagged you and you would like to play along just leave a comment with your blog address and I will add you to my list of tagged peeps)

11  Random Things About Tif :
  1. Apart from my gorgeous Mum and beautiful Nanna, my two role models for being a woman are Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe
  2. I still have the He-Man toys and Castles I owned as a child
  3. I secretly want to be a police officer (but would totes be too fat and unhealthy to get in)
  4. I am addicted to television. I love it, especially Crime/Police shows, Sci-fi, Fantasy and my guilty pleasure is reality shows (but only certain ones... mostly ones with Gordon Ramsey... and Cupcake Wars... and Pawn Stars... oh and Sister Wives )... But I'll pretty much watch anything if it has a good story.
  5. I am allergic to Capsicum, a blessing I inherited from my mother.
  6. I don't drink alcohol on a regular basis and haven't done since I was 18. Every now and then (once a year at most) I will try a glass of wine or have a glass of Gin, Cranberry Juice and Lime but it is always a struggle for me to get through as I really don't like the taste of alcohol.
  7. Since giving up Coca-Cola 3 weeks ago I drink between 3 and 4 litres of water a day and spend a lot of time running to the toilet for a wee
  8. I have dreamt of visiting Paris since I was about 5 years old... haven't made it yet but hopefully in the next 10 years
  9. I love playing all those stupid games on Facebook. I know this makes me a very sad individual but I don't care. (I don't play Farmville though, it's a boring game)
  10. I read the last three Harry Potter books in less than 8 hours each

Now to answer the questions from Me:
  1. Sedan, 4x4 or sports car ? Because I currently have three children I would say 4x4 but if I didn't have to worry about the kids then definitely a sports car!
  2. Fruit or veg ? This is a hard one! I love both fruit and veg but fruit often gives me an itchy mouth (because of my hayfever I think) so I'm gonna go with veg. Also because nothing beats roast vegies!
  3. Gold or silver ? If you've got lots of money then white gold but I will make do with silver you don't! I do not like yellow gold and I absolutely despise rose gold
  4. Inland or the coast ? Coast. Wish we lived closer to it
  5. Picnic or restaurant ? Depends on the occasion but I'd probably lean more towards restaurant because I have to do all the prep and cleanup for a picnic
  6. Diamonds or pearls ? Diamonds... they're a girl's best friend! (Boop boop be doop)
  7. Wear a watch or not ? I wish I was a watch person but I'm totally not. In fact I hardly ever know what the time is
  8. Walking or running ? Walking, I've always been a walker, I love it
  9. Cadbury or Nestle chocolate ? Cadbury!!! How is that even a question! ;)
  10. Caravan or hotel ? Again it depends on the situation but I do like having people come in and do the cleaning in a hotel!
  11. Dogs or cats ? I'm such a fence sitter! I like both cats and dogs. They have different strengths and weaknesses. At the moment we only have dogs though and I do not miss having cat fur all over the house and my clothes

My Tagees :

Week One... Or Should I Say Week Two Thousand One Hundred and Seventy Nine...

 That's how many weeks I have been alive (give or take a couple of days). Two thousand one hundred and seventy-nine. Yet here I am still fighting the same fights I have always fought. Self-image, self-acceptance, unrelenting standards, imposter syndrome.  Once again I find myself in a body that feels uncomfortable and unhealthy. It crept up on me slowly and suddenly all at the same time. I still barely eat any refined sugar. I turn down the lollies and cakes and doughnuts at work. It's not even a struggle, I no longer enjoy the way sugar makes my body feel. But my old nemesis, potato chips, remains undefeated. I eat potato chips to fill the emptiness in my soul. To feel as miserable physically as I do mentally or emotionally. To get comfort from an association with my childhood. It is the struggle I can't overcome. The war I can't win. So after months of trying on my own to no avail, months of the scales not budging, I have signed up for a healthy eating plan. I'm n

Unsent Letter: Dear Broken Little Girl

Dear Broken Little Girl You've got the world fooled. With your masks and your costumes. With the illusion you have created. I'm not fooled anymore, I see who you truly are. I see the little girl terrified of revealing any weakness or cracks. The little girl who uses people for what they can do for her and then casts them aside until she needs them once more. I used to look at you and think you were so much more than me, that I was so much less. Now I realise that you will never be as much as me. Not until you are willing to be wrong, to be imperfect, to be fragile and vulnerable and human. Anybody can do what you do, yet you doubt my ability. You think you are so grown up and in control, but you're not. Everything you stand against, you have been. Everything you fight for, you've never endured. You are an empty shadow trying to fill yourself up at the expense of others. You once told me that I should learn to put myself first and say no. Well I've learnt. I

World Domination and the Darkness

"Gee Brain, what do you want to do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night Pinky -  try to take over the world!" Two things are clear to me , I love that cartoon and Brain never suffered from depression. You see it's much easier to try to take over the world if you don't have to use every ounce of motivation and determination in your body to get out of bed each morning. If Brain had suffered from depression it is likely he may have given up his plan after the first failure. For even the smallest hurdle can, to a depressive, seem like an insurmountable barrier. Now don't get me wrong, there are lots of depressed people who have achieved all sorts of amazing things. World domination while depressed is not completely impossible its just a hell of a lot harder. Before people start accusing me of being a whiner and making excuses I would first ask those people a) do you currently have or have you ever depression? and b) can you shut your stupid
