June 2007 Secret Santa Info

[JammyOLantern]

OK, so we can all easily refer to what we need to know as and when we need it, I've started a separate thread.

i prefer presents i would use every day, but they can be fun - ie jokey apron or oven mitts, you know the sort, with boobs on or something

i cant wait. when are doing this? i need time to plot a good pressie!

Foxy's Answers

1. Are there any colours you absolutely love which would be good to include in a project? Love green, teal and scarlet. And a bit of leopard print

2. Are there any colours you cannot stand or which will clash with any of your decorating schemes ie no purple for bathroom-destined gifts Not fond of purple or yellow.

3)Are there any smells or flavours you love. I just love nice things.

4. ok - a bit predictable but are there any smells or flavours you cannot abide/make you puke etc Not really. Raw chicken makes me heave. But I don't suppose Santa has that in his workshop.

5. are there any habits or hobbies we should bear in mind? I wish I had hobbies. I wish I had a few more (bad) habits, actually. Cooking is probably my thing right now.

6. are there any habits or hobbies you never indulge in - ie cooking, drinking, DIY etc.
   Dogging

7. are there any logos or characters you love or loathe? Don't do logos or characters at all.

8. do fragile objects have a safe haven?
   or will they get smashed to pieces within 5 minutes? They have a safe place. Trouble is, no one has told DS2s football.

9. do you have any phobias that might be relevant ie buttons etc No. Hard as nails me.

Only just noticed the extra questions

I wear earrings, but rarely change from the nice little studs DH bought me a few years ago. I wear necklaces and bracelets. I don't wear brooches, but think I might like to. I tend to wear scarves for warmth rather than decoration, though I like my warm scarves to be pretty too. But I have loads of scarves, in fact just had to donate some to charity as had too many.

me too butterfly.

I never watched Byker Grove really. But I used to love SMTV:live. It is just a shame all the TV they do is so dire, because I think they're funny. I liked that remake of the Likely Lads they did.
