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? ✈️

I’m beginning to wonder if your answer up thread was verging on the economical with the truth 🍒😉.

Very tactile. Because of dad’s job l was UK born but brought up in France. It was very much hugs and kisses.

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

It is true!

I don't need a lot of sleep 🤷. I tend to stay awake late over getting up really early though.

Something you have been repeatedly told about yourself? (e.g. I get told 'never change' quite frequently! 😂 I'm never sure how to take that!)

Well does it count if multiple people tell me I’m a good cook? I seem to spend an inordinate amount of my time feeding people & animals!

Would you be able to use a proper, paper map for a long car journey, if satnav wasn’t available? And I suppose the follow on question is whether your DC would be able to, too.
(Inspired by today being the 225th anniversary of Ordnance Survey Mapping.)

I would definitely be able to use a proper, paper map. Occasionally I still do, to plan long car journeys & I often do to plan country walks. Not sure about DSs though, probably not, although DS3 got DofE bronze award, so should have some idea.

What’s your favourite poem?

Oh it's a sad one! I've been hoping someone else would answer.

"When Tomorrow Starts Without Me" - David M. Romano

Have you ever been to a rave!?

No, unfortunately I was far too dull when raves were happening! Can’t imagine staying up that late now! Although the Daytime Discos that are so successful look great fun.
So my question is:

Have you been to a Daytime Disco?

No daytime disco, unless it includes 4pm at my junior school in the 90s!!!!

Most favourite home cooked meal?

@CleanSkin No, but I would love to! I've seen that there is a 'silent' daytime disco about 1.5 hours away. It seems to be on 4 times a year but it's always on a weekday! I should make the effort and go but I tend to 'save' my annual leave for sunnier climes!

If there was an adult 'Christmas Disco' with fake snow I'd be first in the queue though! 😂

What item of clothing would you like to see come back into fashion?

It's a close call between a roast dinner and spaghetti bolognese! 😋

Hot Chocolate or Milkshake or Tea/Coffee or something alcoholic?

Nothing alcoholic.
Love a milkshake
Hate tea or coffee

Do you watch the apprentice

Pencil skirts. Hi

Out for a meal? Lots of sharers tappas/mezze style or more formal.

I do! I love the interviews! 😂

Do you have any funny interview stories (about yourself or someone else?)

I still wear pencil skirts! 😂🫪

I prefer a main and a dessert!

Have you ever been in love?

Yes, I’ve been gloriously in love for 27 years ♥️ ♥️

How do you like your steak?

Can I come over? 🙏

I dont really eat steak....
My husband however likes his well done.

If you could win your food shopping delivery 200 weekly for a month or 1000 clothes voucher for your favourite shop, what would you pick?

The £200 food shop, tho god know where I'd store it all as that well over twice what I spend a week.

Then the money I save I'd spend on clothes from lots of different places 😉.

If you had to eat one like a orange would you pick a lemon or lime?

@SeraphionLightbringer anytime, my door is always open and the more the merrier!

@ScottBakulalemon, oooh it makes my mouth water in a weird way just thinking about it.

What percentage of your Christmas shopping have you done?

70% of Christmas gifts purchased.
I've wrapped some items that I need to post.
I'm making some advents this year too which are at varying stages!
No cards written yet, though I have purchased them all.

Favourite Christmas TV advert?

“Holidays are coming …” The coke ad is my favourite.

Favourite perfume?

Issey Miyake

What’s the longest you have binge watched a series (& please don’t answer without saying what it was that you watched)?

Ive just checked with DH and it would definitely be ‘Lost’ (years ago before our little one came along) we would have sat all day on a weekend and watched it, the early ones were amazing then it all got a bit weird!

Today, I’ve ordered a new Christmas tree as we have decided no real tree again this year because of the needles and having little one running around. I’m thinking of switching up my decs this year for a change, keeping traditional though. What colour do you tend to go with at Christmas when decking up?

Red Burgundy and gold on tree

What is on your Xmas dinner plate this year !

Generally, red and gold. Occasionally multi-coloured.

Tell me about something you think is overrated?

I think pedicures are massively overrated. On the couple of times I’ve had them I’ve just found the feeling really strange; not remotely relaxing!

Would you rather be really hot or really cold?
