    * My Christmas present from my mum was my first tattoo (she got her second with me!). It's of three birds behind my ear, to symbolise freedom and new beginnings.
    * I am petrified of flying but will be getting on a plane for the first time in over 12 years next month. I am nervous but excited.
    * I have a neurologicial condition called synaesthesia which means I hear music as colours and shapes and see words and numbers as colour.
    * I am strongly considering training to be a Zumba instructor when I reach my goal weight.
    * I want nothing more than to travel the world.
