That 100 question tag thing!
Thanks to Three Times Daddy for tagging me in this 100 question tag mega beast. Never been one to take a risk on a chain letter I thought I best join in before monsters started lurking under my bed or hoards of black crows started circling my house in an insane fashion.
If you’ve got a couple of hours then give this a read…and if you’re un/lucky enough to be mentioned at the end – you’ve been tagged!
