Ask a question Part 2

Yes a 'Frozen' fleecy jacket and a sparkly Minnie Mouse T shirt for two DGDs from the sale rail in Tesco. I always keep my eyes open for suitable clothes and gifts when they are reduced in price! (But I do have to make a list of what I have bought and keep in in my handbag or I forget!)

What is the worst gift you ever received? My ex once bought me long handled shears so I did not have to bend down to cut the edges of the grass. I was 7 months pregnant at the time - how thoughtful!!

My dad taught me after he rescued me from drowning in the sea aged about 7.

Have you bought anything to do with Ch****mas yet ?

No, I envy people who effortlessly wear scarves, I look like Norah Batty

How/when did you learn to swim?

Back to Leticia to continue the thread!

Yes, as an early riser I'm quite happy with the clocks going back, but I do wish they went forward again as far from the spring equinox as we are now from the autumn one, ie just over a month. That would start our lighter evenings in February instead of March.

Do you wear scarves a lot, either for warmth or to complement your outfit?

Have you missed the point of the thread LuckyDucky. People ask a random question, someone else answers it and asks a random question of their own.

The horse one just started a second thread in September, when the first thread was full.
The present question is mine about clocks.

Soontobe asked "Do you or did you used to enjoy riding horses?

I did. Still love them but watch from the side-lines or watch dressage on Horse & Country. Dressage is on next Tuesday at 9pm, if interested.
I'm a fan of Monty Roberts and Carl Hester. They are gentle in their different ways.

What prompted your question?

Yes, I love charity shops- especially good for children's things.

Do you agree with the clocks going back or do you think we should stick with summer time all year?

The way time seems to have speeded up. The days/weeks/months/years just fly by!

Do you shop in Charity Shops? I just bought a lovely coat for DGD for 99p!

Yes, I have taking my own bags for as long as I can remember.

Apart from a possibly failing body/looks (like me ) is there one thing that bugs you about being older

Slightly ruthless when it's needed

Do you always remember shopping bags ? I had to pay my 5p yesterday but it was just a small number of things.

Sewing. Today I plan to make seat cushion covers for my leather sofa which has split.

Are you lethal with a pair of secateurs?

Too many to narrow down.
Probably the days that I gave birth.

What is your favourite wet day activity?

Dive into a swimming pool. The thought terrifies me!

What was the best day of your life?

shysal I hadn't though about it being part2
Shall I get us back on track?

No never worn winkle pickers

Is there one thing you'd like to do but nerves stop you ?

LuckyDucky, this is a confusing thread for newcomers as it is part 2 of the one which explained the idea of it. You answer the previous poster's question, than asks one for the next person. A bit mindless really, but I like it!

The horse question was posted on 11/9/15 there are 7 pages of questions since

Would you like to pose your own question?

Can I politely suggest that you may have more response to your horsey discussions if you start a new thread

All about horses:
Are you going to expand on your horsey question Soontobe?

I've loved horses since I used to pull myself upright in my cot and listen to the clip clop of the milkman on his rounds. We lived in Melbourne then. Incidentally, was milk was delivered by horse and cart in the early 50s - in the UK?

I'm a fan of dressage. Anyone interested? I know it's a niche sport, but it would be great to exchange opinions and information as my family and friends aren't interested.

Not for years. I took a pair of favourite sandals in back in the Summer in the hope they could be re-heeled but the man said 'Lady, go treat yourself to a new pair'.

Did you ever wear winkle pickers? (I did.)

If someone's coming

When did you last have shoes heeled ? I can't even remember when.

Not a lot !!

How often do you buy cut flowers?

I haven't worn a skirt since the day I retired.

What do you think of the artificially coloured cut flowers and heather plants which the supermarkets sell?

Enjoy being out in it and trying to keep it tidy. We have it pruned once a year

Do you ever wear skirts/dresses? How often on average if you do?

All of them.

Do you enjoy gardening.

No. I tumble dry towels, pants and socks, and the rest I hang on two racks hanging from the rails of bunk beds in spare (junk) room. Hang outside whenever possible though.

How many of your own teeth do you have?

Aaargh... crisps are my downfall! One packet leads to another (and another), especially on my late night GN visits!

Do you dry washing on radiators?
