Should really have proof read before posting.. Am aware of the errors!

several when I was younger if I could be as mature and confident as now.
But I suppose your really mean the best year. Four year ago when my daughter had her twins. We were very hands on..she is a single mum, and because she lives close. We shared lots of the special moments with her. My other GCs live in Spain so it was really special to do this.
When I had my two children I had terrible post natal depression, was doing a degree while I had one and a Cert. Ed. For the other so didn't really enjoy that first year.

Taken ages so hope this doesn't cross post.

My question?

What is your biggest regret?

Somewhere else mainly. Only tend to do city breaks if we are visiting someone.

Which whole year of your life would you like to relive again?

I love those kind of days out. Great Compton within reach but never been. (Just an aside to NanK - brought back great memories of days out on bike with picnic in saddle bag. Oh those were the days).

City breaks or breaks somewhere else?

We're going to Great Compton Gardens.

Would this be a good day out for you ?

Slightly eccentric.

Are you doing anything exciting today?

I had an idyllic childhood living in the heart of Birmingham. Used to go cycling with my friends with a white bread and dripping sandwich, an apple and a bottle of Tizer. I would give anything to relive those carefree days.

Do you have any unusual relatives ?

On more than one occasion. Can't say why too close to home.

Were you happy for most of your childhood?

Not in the last 10 years but once took a school party to the Lake District for the weekend. The teaching staff ended up making tea in the kitchen in the middle of the night as the noise (and smell) of 'many' 9/10 yr old children sleeping in the dorm with us was horrendous.

Have you ever been really terrified and why?

In the winter.

Have you been Youth Hostelling in the last 10 years?

I've got a thick skin ! You have to in mental health nursing!

Do you wear slippers indoors?

Salami, mortadella, all cheeses, but had MI in 1999 so try to be a bit more careful. Tho not very.

Love being NT member so cheating by answering 2 questions

Are you sensitive or quite resilient ?

I think I was a member as a trial offer once.

What would you eat a lot more of, if it wasnt fattening?

Sail, your holiday starts the moment you step on board. If it was business then flying for quickness.

Are you a member of the N T ?

White every time.

X posts, sorry!

Would you rather sail or fly across the Atlantic.

Up north the further the better.

Would you rather fly or sail across the Atlantic

Prefer living Down South (South West), but love Up North for holidays - Lake District, Yorkshire etc..

Do you prefer red or white wine?

It suddenly went really hot here in the W. Country.

(Going back to my question which got a bit muddled -)

Do you prefer down South or Up North?

a pottery bird DD1 made when she was about 12

is it hot where you are? (as it is here)

Mothers' day presents from years back - a little lace hankie, never used, a cup saying Magic Mum, leather gloves for 50th, a special birthday card, hand painted, with lovely message from DD2 aged about 7. Nothing material.

Interesting question so same to next poster please

Falconbird did you forget to refresh?

Yes I've been there twice.

Which do you prefer - down south or up north?

People say DD is like me. I'm morphing into DM.

Apart from family what's your most treasured possession ?

Yes when I was 19 with a friend. Stayed in a Youth Hostel and hitchhiked to the North staying in Youth Hostels and Climbing Club huts. Happy days!

Do you have relatives that look like you?

5' 6"

Have you ever been to Dublin ?
