Ask a question Part 2

I loved sparklers and Catherine wheels.

Do you enjoy crosswords

Yes, locally, with DD1 and 3 GCs.

Favourite firework as a child?

Yes

Are you going to a firework display?

No sorry though I know quite a few groups who have received lottery grants.

Do you like firework displays?

Whoops messages crossed.
Bellanonna, I feel nervous every year when I have to drive in the dark, especially if it's raining. I do eventually get used to it.

Same question about Children in Need.

No I really don't. Went to Cinderella with my DDs once but after that organised my DH to take them most years. They always told me they had a good time. Tried again with DGD aged 5 or 6, she was frightened and we left. Gave the tickets to two lively teenagers we met in the cafe.

Do you have a story about someone who has benefited from Children in Need?

I'm looking forward to liking it third time around.

Do you happily drive in the dark? I just did but with the fog, didn't feel too confident

Yes - and jeggings, almost all the time.

Do you like the pantomime?

No.

Do you wear jeans?

No thank goodness!

Do you watch Downton Abbey?

Don't think so, but we do usually eat baked beans cold. It dates from the days when DH was on call as a GP, and we would have sausages and beans. I could cook the sausages when the DC had their supper and ours could be ready on the plates when (if!) he came home. We could then eat it quickly in case he had to go out again in a hurry, and it didn't matter if it was hot or cold. This was before the days of microwaves.

Did you have any guisers/trick-or-treaters at your door last night?

Theatre of any kind. I like musicals but I can't stand opera.

Do you eat any food combinations that could be considered out of the ordinary

A backlog of magazines.

Theatre or opera?

White wine

What are you currently reading ?

My own engagement ring (opals) , my MIL's engagement ring (diamonds) and in summer either a little multicoloured bead necklace which I love because it goes with everything and in winter a long double string of grey and white pearls (also late MIL's)
Variations depending on clothes and/or occasion.

What is your tipple of choice?

We have our main meal in the evening every day except Christmas day.

Apart from a possible wedding ring do you have a piece of jewellery you wear every day.

The Lake District or Cornwall

Do you have your main meal at lunchtime or in the evening on a Sunday?

Don't have a current one, but met my ex-H at work.

Where would be your holiday destination of choice in the UK?

My first proper kiss, it was down an alley on the way home from school. His name was John.

How did you meet your current DH/DW or SO

I love every Autumn. I have a September birthday so perhaps I am biased.

We often have lovely weather at this time of year, plus chilly evenings which I also like, being all snuggled up with a hottie and my IPad or good book.

What do you particularly remember about your first real boyfriend or girlfriend ?

After showering, my knickers. ( not the ones I wore in bed.

Do you think Autumn this year is particularly spectacular ?

Cleanse at bedtime, moisturise, fall asleep!
After my morning shower, moisturise, allow to sink in while I do my teeth, then a bit of foundation.

What item of clothing do you put on first in the morning when you get dressed?

If I have been to a meeting that was contencious.

LuckyDucky, you are welcome to pm me. But I dont know an awful lot about horses.

Do you have a beauty regime?

Like morning coffee and afternoon tea. Coffee after mid-day keeps me awake.
What keeps you awake?

No, I am a non-believer, a realist.

Do you prefer tea or coffee or neither?
