What is your favourite colour?

soontobe Mon 31-Aug-15 17:31:53

I do centigrade. Can only remember that 16 c is 61 f. So can manage to switch them, if the temperature is around there!

How often do you eat out?

ninathenana Mon 31-Aug-15 17:47:17

A full evening dinner only 2-3 times a year.We have lunch out a couple of times a month.

Do you know who Sheldon Cooper is?

Grandma2213 Mon 31-Aug-15 23:49:06

No idea - but will 'google' him/her to educate myself!

What sweet do you remember best from childhood? I used to buy fruit gums with the rare 3d I got from my dad.

ninathenana Tue 01-Sept-15 00:04:30

Black jacks and fruit salads.

Did you have a first dance at your wedding, what song was it ?

Falconbird Tue 01-Sept-15 05:48:36

I don't think first dances were in fashion when I got married.

At your wedding did you throw your bouquet and the person who caught it was supposed to be the next one to be married?

ninathenana Tue 01-Sept-15 08:26:37

No, it was thrown out to sea where my grandad's ashes are scattered.

Do you like small boats, are you a good sailor ?

soontobe Wed 02-Sept-15 06:29:50

I am not sure what is meant by good sailor. If you mean do I throw up, then no.
I have gone off boats large and small. I think they are going to tip over.

How often do you wash your hair?

Falconbird Wed 02-Sept-15 06:42:52

Twice a week.

Do you use a tumble dryer?

soontobe Wed 02-Sept-15 07:29:18

A couple times of year if I am desperate.

Do you use hand cream?

ninathenana Wed 02-Sept-15 08:22:15

When I remember.

Do you always buy the same shampoo, shower gel etc. Or what's on offer ?

Falconbird Wed 02-Sept-15 08:41:26

Always use baby products. It started when I was a hard up young mum.

Do you have a favourite perfume?

Bellanonna Wed 02-Sept-15 09:49:25

Used to love it but allergic to perfumes of any kind. Even sneeze walking down the supermarket detergents aisle

Assuming you go to the theatre sometimes would you usually choose a matinee these days ?

ninathenana Wed 02-Sept-15 10:19:02

If we go to the theatre it's in London and due to distance stay over. So evening performance.

Assuming you go to the theatre smile What do you like to see ?

Bellanonna Wed 02-Sept-15 10:45:49

Sorry Nina, but some people may live too far away/ not like theatre smile

Falconbird Wed 02-Sept-15 12:51:26

When I go to the theatre (which is rarely) I go to a matinée because there's no worries about getting home in the dark.

Do you like Riverdance?

shysal Wed 02-Sept-15 13:35:25

It moved me to tears the first time I saw it on TV, and still does. Never seen a live performance.

Do you make soup, if so which is your favourite flavour?

ninathenana Wed 02-Sept-15 14:38:50

Bella I have sent you a pm.
I apologise publicly for any misunderstanding

Bellanonna Wed 02-Sept-15 16:34:23

I've replied Nina. My fault, sorry x

Bellanonna Wed 02-Sept-15 16:37:19

Different soups, depending on what I have. A nice robust minestrone, perhaps, on a cold day.

Do you have any upcoming occasions to attend, e.g. Christening, wedding, or other celebration

Falconbird Thu 03-Sept-15 06:07:41

Just the usual round of birthdays.

Do you go to the Pantomime at Christmas/New Year?

ninathenana Thu 03-Sept-15 10:58:21

Not since our children were small. DGSx2 don't like crowds and noise sad

If you drive do you still use public transport at all?

Bellanonna Thu 03-Sept-15 11:03:36

Yes, our freedom passes include trains, so very useful !

Do you knit ?

shysal Thu 03-Sept-15 12:44:30

Only knit little things for charity.

Do you have a 'no shoes' policy in your home?

ninathenana Thu 03-Sept-15 18:32:32

No, but personally my shoes come off as soon as I'm home.

Did you enjoy dancing when younger, or maybe you still do ?

Indinana Thu 03-Sept-15 18:46:15

I did dance but was never really that good.

Do you have any 'family names' in your family, i.e. a first name that has been passed down through the generations?
