Do you, or did you used to enjoy horse riding?

Grandma2213 Thu 05-Nov-15 00:52:49

Yes I learned touch typing many years ago and can type on a keyboard pretty much as fast as I think. However this means I am useless at i-pad or mobile phone because my fingers, not my eyes, know where the letters are!

What was the best course/class you attended since you have left school.

shysal Thu 05-Nov-15 07:40:35

I did enrol for a digital photography course, but the tutor abandoned us after one class! I would therefore have to say exercise classes are my favourites, especially Body Attack.

Which is your favourite James Bond actor? It has to be Sean Connery for me.

I may go to the Vintage and Craft Show in my small town and possible have a coffee at Waitrose.

What are you planning for Sunday Lunch ?

shysal Sat 07-Nov-15 08:12:01

Sunday will be a diet day for me, so it will be home-made leek and potato soup.

Have you ever had a professional make-up?

On my daughter's wedding day

Ever worn a bikini ?

ninathenana Sat 07-Nov-15 09:00:52

gringrin if you saw me you wouldn't need to ask

Is there a magazine you buy every week/month

Grandma2213 Sun 08-Nov-15 01:16:49

No not now. I used to buy 'Woman' or 'Woman's Own' occasionally when I had some 'disposable income'!

What is the first thing you remember watching on TV?

shysal Sun 08-Nov-15 06:45:10

Muffin the Mule.

Which tune do you have on your brain at this moment?

loopylou Sun 08-Nov-15 07:19:46

I didn't until I read your question shysal! Now it's Abide with Me because the news is talking about the Cenotaph ceremony this morning.

What is your favourite smell?

Leticia Sun 08-Nov-15 08:00:52

Old fashioned roses.

What book are you reading at the moment? (Or are do you not have one at the moment?)

Nana3 Sun 08-Nov-15 09:07:36

The Go Between, L.P. Hartley
It was on the BBC a few weeks ago and now my book club have chosen it for this month. I'm enjoying it.

What's on your Christmas wish list, if anything?

Grandma2213 Mon 09-Nov-15 01:04:32

I wish for peace and no upset/arguments. Last year was horrendous due to son's ex partners and last minute changes of plan!

If it was free and painless would you change anything about your appearance?

Nana3 Mon 09-Nov-15 06:56:08

So sorry about your upset last year Grandma, forewarned is forearmed as the saying goes, best wishes.

shysal Mon 09-Nov-15 08:29:44

If it was free and painless I would have the whole works!

What is your favourite soup, and do you make your own?

Grandma2213 Tue 10-Nov-15 00:46:47

Can't decide between Tomato and Basil or Carrot and Coriander (both home made)

Have you ever owned a bread maker and used it?

Thanks Nana3 but I have no control over the matter.

Bellanonna Tue 10-Nov-15 08:23:08

I was given a bread maker as a Christmas present by DD2 about 5 years ago. Not long after, she "borrowed" it. That's the last I saw of it.

Have you made Xmas puddings? I no longer do.

ninathenana Tue 10-Nov-15 08:51:37

I've never made a Christmas pud or cake.

Is your DH/SO if you have one any good at small DIY jobs

shysal Tue 10-Nov-15 09:04:08

He is now my ex, but he was rubbish at anything practical, I did it all, often in a bodge-it way.

Do you use a microwave for anything apart from heating up stuff?

soontobe Tue 10-Nov-15 09:36:39

I used to . I used to have quite a few recipes. But now just use it for heating food up.

Do you use kilos or lbs?

soontobe Tue 10-Nov-15 09:37:10

I meant generally, not just microwaving.

Bellanonna Tue 10-Nov-15 22:39:59

Preferably lbs but I can adapt if I have to

Did you have roller skates in your younger days?

chelseababy Wed 11-Nov-15 06:48:49

Yes spent many hours skating up and down our street (on the path) with my best friend.

Will you be observing the two minutes silence today?

Nana3 Wed 11-Nov-15 08:07:44

Looking after 2 year old GD, so I doubt it.

What are you doing for you today?

soontobe Wed 11-Nov-15 10:32:44

Sounds sad, but doing bits of housework that I havent been able to get to for a while. Is cheering me up, but may not be others' way of enjoying yourself! grin

How long ago since you last changed your hairstyle?
