Not at all sentimental. I don’t get the kind of emotional attachment to objects like many do. I don’t do clutter so I don’t really mind if it’s an heirloom or something like that, if it doesn’t fit the aesthetic, it’s got to go!

Maybe been done already, sorry! Favourite cocktail?

Currently a Hugo Spritz had them in Cuba on hol (along with plenty of Mojitos in Ernest Hemingway bar 😁)

What was your most outrageous purchase?

Breakfast was a slice of home made banana bread with Greek yoghurt & blueberries, washed down with builders’ tea.

What’s your favourite tv series to binge watch either currently, or historically (or both!)?

Fried fish and rice - from the legendary β€˜Leo’s’ food truck in the Seychelles and then a half melted ice cream and 2x large cans of Seybrew lager from the stall opposite.
Was yum.

favourite fictional character - book, tv or big screen.

Shameless UK and This Country are my go-to’s with Gavin and Stacey at Xmas

Have to watch Sex and the City at least every three years though!

A series you watched but compared to the consensus felt was massively overrated?

Haven't seen their shorts, but I don't want to see arses!

Big Sunday breakfast or other?

No big Sunday breakfast here. I only really have a big breakfast abroad! 🀷 Just cereal today!

Do you have a Sunday Roast dinner?

2 with a huuuuuge age gap between. My second is my absolute miracle baby.

Least favourite room in the house? (and why because I’m a nosey git!)

The utility room. That's where the ironing happens.

The room I chuck everything that doesn’t have a home into and then close the door and pretend it doesn’t exist… for (hopefully) obvious reasons!

What’s the song you’d listen to on repeat if you could only listen to one song forever?

On a side note - what is the age gap? My Mum has a 27-year gap between her eldest and youngest child. The Surgeon welcomed her out of retirement for the last one! 😲

23 years. No children in between. I don’t give in easily put it that way and I definitely don’t follow the β€˜norm’ πŸ˜‚

Also to add at this point- Eric Clapton, Wonderful Tonight. Yesss girl! πŸ‘ŒπŸΌin reply to @Lmnop22s question.

Favourite smelling fabric conditioner? (I do realise it’s a sin on MN to use it but I use loads and I don’t care a hoot!)

I WFH so currently living in cropped jeans and a nice t shirt or wide leg trousers and a boxy t shirt. If I’m helping on the farm (like today) usually general country wear and wellies, that’s what I’m most comfortable in.

What are you most proud of about yourself, something that you’ve accomplished or done - big or little?
