5 things you didn’t know about me

I’ve been tagged over at Oz Bargain Blog so here I go.

1.) I splurged a little on my phone plan this year. Picked up a Nokia N70. Four months later, I left it on a train and haven’t seen the bugger again. But the cap is good.

2.) I started Jonk’s Bargains as a personal website just for myself and whichever friends were interested. But so many of them forwarded it off to strangers… that I had to make it presentable in an extremely quick amount of time. In fact, more than 75% of my hits are still coming from people forwarding the site via email.

3.) My number one personal, non-work, goal is to learn Spanish. I have an under-utilised language learning gift but I strongly intend to use it. I have found the course, I have found the program where I can tutor English for free board (yesss..!). Now to get the time (and I actually am working on that!) and the fare.

4.) In March last year I was told I could have a tumour, MS or have had a stroke. What a day… In July I had finally finished the gauntlet and was declared healthy. It had a net positive effect on my life though.

5.) My first job was doing door-to-door surveys on behalf of a contractor to Chubb security. They went broke after one month of me working there… and I didn’t get paid a cent for the whole time!!

Cool. I tag…
