Ask anything 😂 ! 'Ask and Answer' a question from the previous poster - Part 2!

Ask and answer a question from the previous poster!

I will start it off.....

What items do you forget to pack for a holiday abroad? ✈️

Yorkshire was last. Lincolnshire is next. We like a lot of UK breaks.

When was the last time you played? Like actual joyful play?

Ooooh! That would be telling! 😉

Which song would be your anthem?

That's so difficult to choose just 1 song! I'll pick Shiny Happy People by R.E.M this morning but ask me later and I will choose something entirely different!

Has the change from B.S.T. to G.M.T. thrown your body clock out?

Not really, l travel to Singapore a number of times a year for work, so l find one hour neither here nor there.

Why are you up so early?

I generally always wake up early but it takes me a while to adjust to any time change! I don't sleep a lot 'normally' anyway. I just don't need a lot of sleep it seems. I don't get grumpy when I'm tired either 🤷

Favourite thing about Singapore?

The combination of a vibrant safe modern city and vibrant luscious vegetation. Plus the old and the new mix.

Happiest time in your life?

Mid-20s. Age. Not year. I'm not 100 years old - yet.

Which celebrity would you choose to play you in a film?

Assuming a different ethnicity wasn’t a film casting issue Sunetra Sarker.

How many different handbags do you use regularly?

I have a lot of bags! but regularly, I'd say I have 10 that are in frequent use.

Do you collect anything?

Crikey that’s a lot of bags in frequent use, how many have you got in your collection in total? And is there a theme? (Brand, colour choices, style)
I collect things to read 😁 physical books, e-books, and this month it seems that I’ve started collecting newspaper supplements too! I like to have a lot of choice, from fiction (thrillers, crime procedurals) to non-fiction (health, history, food).

Which shampoo and conditioner are you currently using?
(I’ve found that Tresemmé Lamellar Gloss is perfect for my hair, and a decent price too which is nice!)

I have about 50 🫣 and I reluctantly parted with some last year. No brand, colour or style specifically - just whatever I like! Some are a specific colour to go with certain items of clothing. I used to go to Italy a lot and can't resist the leather handbags there; hence why I have quite a few really. All different and all different sizes! I think I've bought 2 bags this year so far. Bags and dresses are my 'thing'.

Currently using Pantene Pro V Miracles Silky & Glowing Shampoo and Conditioner.

Favourite Song? 🎵

Cian Ducrot - I’ll be waiting
I love music, it’s like a form of therapy for me so have multiple favourites but this one I could listen to all day.

Would you rather talk: text, call or face to face?

I’d rather message, then face to face, finally phone.
(I’d much rather see photos of @SaraHoliday’s bags though!)

Do you prefer hard floors or carpets in your downstairs rooms?

Oh! it's the smell and touch that gets you not just the visual! 👜😂

Definitely prefer carpet as I tend to walk around barefoot.

When do you put up your Christmas tree? 🎄

Mid December. It’s a real (rooted) one, over 5 years old now and she lives in a pot and l bring her in every year.

How comfortable are you with your own body?

I'm very comfortable with my body but I do wish I was slightly taller!

Do you exercise?

Never exercise. I have a toddler, the farm and I like to keep a very tidy home so I’m never not ‘on the go’

What are you enjoying on tv at the moment?

All creatures great and small is my current favourite, when I’m alone - thrillers when DH and I are watching together. And nature or antiques programmes if I’m watching with my elderly DM.

What is your favourite ever meal?

Many years ago while me and DH were on holiday the little independent hotel we stayed in asked what we wanted for our last meal , I chose lobster it came wonderfully dressed , and had four big peppers stuffed with , huge prawns , fresh tuna , rice salad and a spicy mayo buttery dip .
I don't like prawns so my DH got them much to his delight .
The rest of the meal was absolutely wonderful.

I wouldn't buy it again for welfare reasons but I am glad I had it.

What was your worst meal ?

DH & I ordered Wagyu steaks in a swanky restaurant in Nairobi, Kenya, thinking they’d make a lovely treat for our last meal there. They were absolutely not Wagyu beef, just below average, slightly tough steaks. We couldn’t eat them.

Have you ever been really good at any sport or physical activity (I haven’t really, hence my curiosity)?

Netball - despite being tiny; I was fast! 😂
Hockey - still have my hockey stick.

Ever kissed a stranger?

Yep! And more 😉.

Ever kissed a girl and liked it?

No - but I do like the taste of cherry chapstick! 🎶😁

Who is your current celebrity crush?

If l can only have one, Sunetra Sarker.

5 things that are always in your handbag.

Phone, keys, lipsalve - ironically it's Nivea cherry!, hair clip and a travel perfume bottle!

Are you tactile?
