With advancing age I seem to have acquired a touch of claustrophobia...

Do you hold a current passport?

NanSue Tue 18-Aug-15 06:47:38

No, I did try learning Mandarin but it was so hard I gave up.

Do you have any phobias?

Grandma2213 Tue 18-Aug-15 00:08:20

No. I would usually with one of my DSs and they are all competent drivers.

Do you speak more than one language?

ninathenana Mon 17-Aug-15 23:19:18

On the speed limit never over it, well not more than one or two mph

Are you a nervous passenger ?

Bellanonna Mon 17-Aug-15 22:20:00

My DD2. She's very competent but still scares me.

Do you drive fast?

soontobe Mon 17-Aug-15 22:03:05

Both. But mainly the latter nowadays.

Is there someone you know who drives too fast?

Shysal - we'll be grandma and grandpa as soon as she can say the words! (She's only 15 months). The other Gps will be Nanny and Granddad.

Do you suffer from empty nest syndrome or do you enjoy the freedom

2 B or not 2 B ?-That is the question.

shysal Mon 17-Aug-15 17:21:56

Puddings. A starter spoils my appetite for the main.

What do your GCs call you?

Margsus Mon 17-Aug-15 15:15:33

We watched Ripper Street, which we had recorded a couple of days earlier. Love it!

Do you prefer starters or puddings? (Or both!)

Indinana Mon 17-Aug-15 14:20:56

Sorry, crossed posts. No, I don't use a fountain pen these days, mostly a pencil or the computer!

What did you watch on TV last night?

Indinana Mon 17-Aug-15 14:19:39

Yes, when my 10 year old DS lobbed a house-brick-sized rock into a lake, but got over enthusiastic with his lobbing technique and ending up lobbing it over his head, so that it came down hard on my head. shock. We were in the middle of Dartmoor at the time, about 1.5 miles from the car and I was bleeding profusely... A passing school trip with a 4x4 came to the rescue!

What did you watch on TV last night?

shysal Mon 17-Aug-15 14:17:28

Yes, I had to be stitched when I was bitten by a chimp at the fair, when I was a teenager.

Do you use a fountain pen?

ninathenana Mon 17-Aug-15 13:51:33

Navy and white cotton skirt, white T-shirt and Birkenstocks.

Have you ever needed stitches apart from surgery ?

Grannyeggs Mon 17-Aug-15 09:46:08

Roast chicken, the Grandchildren will be here and they love it.

soontobe Mon 17-Aug-15 09:08:42

I like to tan. My skin likes to stay pale and mysterious.

What is the best thing you have ever witnessed?

Bellanonna Mon 17-Aug-15 09:07:18

I don't tan easily

Do you do barbecues?

shysal Mon 17-Aug-15 08:42:18

Average, could have worked harder.

Did you do well at school ?

Indinana Sun 16-Aug-15 23:22:07

I'd love to be able to dance still, but alas, my feet and knees wouldn't allow it these days!

What was your favourite subject at school?

Grandma2213 Sun 16-Aug-15 22:13:10

No spare cash, but used to read 'Ballet Shoes' practically every other week and practised the bar on the rail at the bottom of my bed.

Just found out that my DGD's ballet teacher is doing classes in tap and ballet for more mature ladies. Is there a class that might tempt you to join?

Bellanonna Sun 16-Aug-15 21:59:25

I love it

Did you do ballet as a child ?

Grandma2213 Sun 16-Aug-15 21:45:29

I don't know about good but bake and ice all the birthday cakes for DC and DGCs according to relevant or chosen themes eg golf, football, 'Frozen', 'Scooby Doo' and too many others to mention!

Do you enjoy watching ballet?
