The challenge has been won!!
But Firstly
The stories behind the truths......
I did in fact leave school at 14 with no qualifications because it was at that time that I had number 2 on my list .... the motorbike accident. I went back to school afterwards but because the school was on many levels and there was multiple staircases between classes, I just couldn't manage with 2 broken legs and casts, screws and rods. I asked if I could come part time and do english and maths but they said no.... Hence no more school. Sorry @len.george,

I got charged at by a cow when I was 8 months pregnant. This is TRUE. I was trying to turn a herd of cows and calves in to a gateway. They were coming down the road towards me. At the time I had a 3 year old and a puppy with me and the cow took exception to the puppy being there. The puppy ran behind me and the cow ran towards me at full pelt..... It wasn't going to stop and the only thing I could do was scream at the top of my lungs. It got such a fright at the noise that it stopped and backed away. I may not sing well but I can sure scream when I need to .... it saved all 3 of us lol. Sorry @peggyhazelwood :)
I can get sea sick watching boats bob up and down on the water. This is TRUE. It was worse when I was pregnant.
Sorry @mineopoly and

I owned my own home when I was 18. This is true - I was lucky enough to have a deposit for my own home. Sorry @dreemsteem my lovely :D
I was once chased by a male ostrich while riding an ATV. This it TRUE! I was working on an ostrich farm and I had to go in to the paddock to feed them... The male got rather upset that I was in there with his females so he chased me round and round the paddock for about 10 minutes before I managed to get enough distance away from him to get to the gate. My young son was out there waiting for me so I yelled for him to open the gate and I roared through. It was extremely scary as they are very aggressive and can kill you easily. Sorry @marianneyardley. I have to say it's concerning that not more people guessed this. It's as though it's perfectly normal to be chased by an ostrich lol.
My favorite hobby is speed boating. Yes yes it is - it's such fun and going fast makes the bobbing stop - I'm a speed freak! So sorry to @wrath-of-grapes,

I owned a livestock sales business. TRUE I did own a livestock sales for many years - loved it!
I did in fact rear over 400 lambs by myself in one season. It was very hard physical labour but I did manage it. My arms and shoulders will never be the same again mind you and I think they grew in lenght by an inch from carrying all the heavy buckets of milk. Sorry @iseeyouvee and
@powellx5
I did live in a house with no walls, power, plumbing or heating for nearly 2 years while we slowly built it. I have to say it was not fun and I would never be that silly again.
So the big lie is 10. I have not been around NZ in an RV. It's on my bucket list along with going around the USA in an RV but I have never been anywhere in an RV at all. So the winners are @sift666 and
@redheadpei you will get 1 SBD each!
Thank you to everyone that played along in this most excellent challenge. It has been really fun getting to know more about people.
Thanks again to @dreemsteem for nominating me and those that participated after I nominated them!
