Hello Everyone!
I thought long and hard about what my first proper post on this blog was going to be and I decided to go with the slightly obvious answer of a simple get to know me post! At first I really wanted something cool and different, but people do these 50 facts about me posts for a reason, so I abandoned my extravagant ideas and went back to basics. I want you all to get the chance to get to know me a little better, so this post is just going to be a big long list of 50 facts about me!
