80sKatie

Hi I'm Katie, I live on the Wirral near Liverpool, UK. But I'm originally from Manchester :) I'm married with 4 children- 2 boys and 2 girls aged 11,8,4 & 2! I'm animal mad and have a few pets, an African Pygmy Hedgehog, a guinea pig, a skinny pig, a budgie, 2 naked rats and a furry rat! My favourite animals are horses, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, mice, rats, zebras, capybara, skunks, sloths and giraffes.

I collect My Little Pony and have a whole 'pony room' in my house to display my collection! I mainly collect G1 ponies from the 80s but I also have an extensive, almost complete collection of G4s- Friendship is Magic. I attend UK PonyCon every year and love to get involved with lots of swaps within the pony collecting community. I also collect all girls toys from the 80s such as Care Bears, Keypers, Snugglebumms, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, Fairy Tails, Wuzzles, Cabbage Patch Kids, Trolls and Monchhichi.

I'm virtually vegetarian as I don't like meat and I don't drink hot drinks apart from Hot Chocolate which I love. I love horse riding, reading, photography, writing, walking on the beach, good quality milk chocolate, handbags, lip balm, nail varnish, penpals, swaps, pastel colours, rainbows, stars, clouds, stationary, stickers, washi, deco tape, diddl, all things kawaii, pink, sparkly and glittery! And also nautical-navy and white stripes etc

I am obsessed with Tokyo culture and American culture. My dream is to travel USA, Japan, Thailand and squeeze in a trip to Hong Kong! Though I think I would need to win the lottery to afford all the toys, clothes and stationary that I would want to buy on my travels lol

I am a HUGE fan of the band 'Take That' and have been a fan for 23 years! I collect all their memorabilia and go to all their concerts! I have made lots of friends with other fans and travelled thousands of miles to follow them and meet them! I also love Justin Timberlake and Olly Murs.

My favourite TV shows are Revenge, Waterloo Road, Big Bang Theory, Real Housewives of Orange County, Grand Designs, Wanted Down Under, Catfish, Cribs and Geordie Shore. I like shows that you don't have to take too seriously!

I pretty much love most movies apart from ridiculously unnecessary violent ones. I like films that are believable and could actually happen. Not a fan of anything Sci Fi either! I'm definitely a Chick Flick fan but also love anything Disney Pixar. My favourite films are The Holiday and Friends With Benefits.

I like to make custom Tote Bags and custom Converse shoes. Most seem to be based on the My Little Pony theme but I do hope to branch out when I get more spare time! I currently don't get much with the four children!

I love writing penpal letters and decorating them with washi, deco tape, kawaii stickers, doodles and hand drawn pictures.

I have also just invested in a pastel Pink Collins Personal sized Planner which I intend to decorate and use to manage my chaotic life! I've just started buying tape, memo notes and sticky notes etc I also have a pink pocket sized Filofax but I need to buy a new Diary infill as it's currently from 2005!
