@LunaTheCat not prissy at all! I could never master flute or oboe x

Ooh, now, I can play the saxophone and the oboe 🙂 I'm not sure if that makes me cool or prissy 😆

My Christmas cake, my guacamole and my gob.

Being able to make conversation with anyone. I’m invariably put with the awkward SIL, racist uncle or pervy friend at weddings. It’s a curse.

I was the female arm wrestling champion in primary school, circa 1990. I played a lot of tennis and netball so my arm muscles were really strong. I beat most of the lads at arm wrestling and amazed loads of people. Didn’t tell anyone my arms always ached for days after!

They're all coming back to me now - won the national scout quiz back in the day, think I was 11ish. It was a great experience, still have the trophy.

MaryBerrysCamelToe · 23/01/2023 01:18

Having lots of kids 🤣🤣

Finding things

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 23/01/2023 01:42

This is outing but I can burp the alphabet.. I do it loudly & clearly I honed the skill as a child and I'm quite proud of it....

I also feature as a chapter in a special book.

Was it a basic 'guidelines' book for parents - with cautionary case studies - given out free by Social Services? Grin

I was in The Sun, the subject of a very silly 'heartwarming' story, on the page between an armed robber and a paedophile.

They had interviewed me in advance (our local paper got in touch with them without my knowledge), but they were such talented journalists that they didn't need to be lazy and just report the actual words that I'd said to them, but they were clever enough to be able to make up some completely different quotes 'from me' all by themselves.

Also, my arm was on Brookside once - they were filming at Alton Towers on the day I'd gone there with school, and I was partially caught right in the very edge of a low-level shot. To this day, I still have to go out wearing dark glasses like Bono whenever I leave the house, to avoid getting mobbed.

My cooking skills, fashion and my bluntness Blush

HamBone · 23/01/2023 02:11

My roast chicken and my writing skills.

Helping lots of people(families mainly)it runs into the hundreds by now.

Being the first one on the dancefloor at any family party,wedding, christening ect and usually the last off(that was before becoming disabled though)the dancefloor.

For feeding everybody and being a good cook.

For being able to say the most inappropriate thing at the exact wrong time. I have ADHD. The quote that sums me up the most is "I don't like to think before I speak, I like to be just as surprised as everyone else"

This is outing: taking 2 pre-schoolers to Africa in a camper van.

Repeal the 8th. It's years ago and I still haven't recovered. I will never canvass again.

Me neither. It was brutal. I’m sorry you’re still holding the stress of it.

ThePoshUns · 23/01/2023 05:59

Being the first click and collect customer at my local supermarket. They gave me flowers!

CheeseDreamsTonight · 23/01/2023 06:07

My flexibility. My daughters friends find it hilarious that I can do the splits.
