Éamonn!!!!
He predicted I would hit 1000 visitors sometime between 10am and midnight on 30th April... Which was only about 34 hours out (give or take)...
Not only did he guess the closest, but he also was my 1000th visitor! ("Fix!!", I hear you cry!) I guess I'll have to marry him then... (SHMILY...) :-D
However, another special mention must go to Therese, who came second in this wonderful competition... ;-)

I’ve been tagged by Carole over at A Light to the Nations...
So here goes…
1. The rules of the game get posted on the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about himself.
3. At the end of the post, the player tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read their blog.
What I was doing ten years ago:
Studying/cramming for my A-levels!
Five things on my To-Do list today:
1. Leave my car in to be serviced
2. Talk to my wonderful fiancé on Skype
3. Follow up on a couple of emails
4. Go to the post office
5. Shorten my to-do list
Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1. Pay off my debts
2. Give money to charities such as Marie Curie
3. Buy a house & car (nothing too fancy!)
4. Put some aside for family for the future
5. Probably crack up!
Three of my bad habits/qualities:
1. I’m not exactly the tidiest person in the world…
2. I tend to give in to self-pity too much
3. I tend to pick holes in things… Like, why does this question only require three answers instead of five?!
Five places I’ve lived:
1. Downpatrick
2. Dublin
3. West Belfast!
4. South Belfast!
5. East Belfast!
Five jobs I’ve had:
1. Software QA Engineer
2. Assistant Network Administrator
3. Data Entry person
4. Crew member/“lobby hostess” at McDonalds (urgh!)
5. Waitress
Five books I’ve recently read:
1. Jodi Picoult – Change of Heart (just started it)
2. The Princess Bride (just started it)
3. Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire (yes I really am reading 3 books simultaneously!)
4. Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light
5. Get Thee to a Punnery!
Five people or communities I’m going to tag:
Éamonn at Peregrinus Hibernensis (my lovely love!)
Therese at the Aussie Coffee Shop
Joakim at Catholic Ponderer
Dana at Lilder's blog
The Mom at Shoved to Them

... until I reach 1,000 visitors to my blog! :-)
I just logged into Sitemeter and noticed I've had 926 visitors since I added it to my site about 8 months ago.
Soooo.... does anyone feel like a little competition? Predict when I will reach the 1,000 mark and the person with the closest guess will win a very special mention on my blog. Wow, what an incentive, eh?! ;-)

... my lovely spell-checking fiancé! ;-)
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin not sea
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar Wright
It shows me strait a weigh
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
It rare lea ever wrong
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My Chequer toed me sew
