Giving my opinion on absolutely everything.

Oooh, I do love memes. It's so interesting to get a glimpse slightly beyond the blog.
FEEL BETTER!
(on behal of the blogosphere - ugh, another meme?!)
JJ, thanks!
David, cheers. Memes make the blogsphere go round, dontcha know?
You only lasted a month over here?
I love reading everyone's answers and am amused that chocolate plays such a big part in all of our lives.
Dx
I'm a Jersey gal too - I didn't know you'd lived there. Hurrah for memes!
Debs and Jen, I went to Jersey for the summer after second year to work, but it was slim pickings and I found it difficult to find a place to live without working. I ended up lying about having silver service experience and being fired from my first and last waitressing job! I ran out of money and came back to Luxembourg. I absolutely loved my stay there though, it is such a beautiful island, and I'd love to go back sometime with a bit more cash!
These memes are helping me get to know so many of you bloggers out there. Love them.
Hummus, chocolate & popcorn - had hummus earlier but now feel the need for chocolate.....SPAR shop is calling me....
Ok you're not the only one who has tagged everyone - it's time I went and did my own meme..........suddenly I have writer's block!
Kat :-)
KatW looking forward to your answers. Spar is not so much calling me as hollering...might break my diet and raid the place!
Would love to live in Sydney - I visted once and fell in love with the place... (big, wistful sigh)
Great answers! Is there any female alive who doesn't love chocolate I wonder? I think I'm going to pinch this meme :o)
Jen, Sydney was amazing. The Ours and I lived there for five months in a gorgeous flat overlooking Darling Harbour. Completely jammy!
Karen, I'm really craving chocolate at the moment! Looking forward to your answers.
I also love Sydney. I only managed three days there, but would love to go back x
Helen I loved it too, would go back in a shot.
