Weirdest housemate behaviour: Someone is a guilty sweetooth and leaves their chocolate and chips supply on the kitchen table…very tempting.
Fave Aussie saying: Im quite impatient at times so anything from the “Fang it!, Fanging it! Absolutely Fanging it!” department.
Fave Aussie food: A Chicken Parma or Cheese Twistees & of course, my Grandmas cooking.
Holden or Ford: Holden over Ford, but neither would be my first choice! Im having an ongoing debate about the Vauxhall Omega with a mate back home, its gotta be a rebadged Commodore.
Geez, I miss this about Australia: Family, friends, the beach!
What I love about London life? I love the late night light in the summers and the equal focus on the arts and sports.
