Indinana Sun 16-Aug-15 17:47:08

No! I've never wanted loads of jars of them, and couldn't stand the crying involved grin

Have you been on holiday this year? If so where did you go?

Falconbird Sun 16-Aug-15 17:42:16

Yes I went for a walk up to my local park.

Ever made pickled onions?

ninathenana Sun 16-Aug-15 17:37:02

No way !! buttons and hems are my limit.

Have you been out today, other than the garden?

hildajenniJ Sun 16-Aug-15 16:29:07

Yes, and up here in the frozen north we haven't had much of a summer.

Can you sew well enough to make your own clothes?

Don't like vinegar at all.

Yes, a lovely white Nissan Juke two years ago. I had been lusting after one since they came out!

Are you sad that the days are starting to get shorter?

Never had a new car.

A sort of pale pinky beige.

What colour are your living room walls?

Louise.
I wanted to call DD that but a good friend has a daughter by that name. Oddly it's what DD would have liked to be called.

Do/did you like DH/SO 's name ?

Anya Sun 16-Aug-15 12:50:06

Sticky window decals and fly curtains.

If you could have chosen a name for yourself, rather than the one given to you by your parents, what would it be?

Indinana Sun 16-Aug-15 10:58:05

No, thank Heavens!

How do you deal with flies and wasps etc. that invade your home at this time of year? Fly spray? Swat? Sticky window decals? Electronic zapper?

Falconbird Sun 16-Aug-15 07:53:19

No but my grand daughter has my name as her second name which of course isn't Falconbird which would be strange.

Have you ever had shingles?

ninathenana Sun 16-Aug-15 07:50:42

Yes, DH and I both have a Kindle.
I have been up since 4am sad

Did you name any of DC after a family member?

Falconbird Sun 16-Aug-15 07:39:58

I'm up at 7.30 which is late for me.

Do you own a Kindle?

Anya Sun 16-Aug-15 07:09:44

Blackberries (from the bottom of my garden) and double cream.

What are you having for Sunday breakfast ?

Grandma2213 Sat 15-Aug-15 23:18:01

I am delighted to say I don't share and sleep all over the bed except when granddaughter comes in and she goes on the 'safe' (not able to fall out) side!

What possession would you save if your house was on fire?

ninathenana Sat 15-Aug-15 22:30:33

I'm not knowledgeable enough on the subject to choose.

If you share your bed, do you still sleep 'on your side' when you go away ?

hildajenniJ Sat 15-Aug-15 20:32:30

Probably not. I am fed up with all these wannabes.

Who is your favourite classical composer?

shysal Sat 15-Aug-15 19:42:27

Under 13 hockey.

Will you be watching X factor this year?

soontobe Sat 15-Aug-15 19:36:05

Having now listened to the both, I prefer traditional jazz.
I heard some live jazz in America some years ago[ not in New Orleans, but they were professionals] and I think now that it was modern jazz they were playing. It put me off jazz because I thought that it was all like that.
Now I like jazz so thanks for the question!

Sport for the school? No, I wasnt good enough.

Did you play any sport for your school?

Bellanonna Sat 15-Aug-15 19:15:55
