Ask a question Part 2

Despite being +size I only eat chocolate 3-4 times a year. It would probably be mint aero.

Do you eat supper, meaning a snack before bed.

Yes - and DH has lit the woodburner this evening, too. I don't know why as it is not very cold at all. I think he just likes playing with fire. It's too hot for me so I've brought my laptop in here where it's cooler.

What's your favourite chocolate bar - or do you never eat chocolate?

Only the usual school sports. I don't play now (should do!)

Have you had your central heating on this year yet?

One of my primary school teachers Mrs Ryder, she was lovely and inspired my love of literature.

Did you play sport when younger ? If so which one. Or maybe you still do !

Tricky one, as I had several jobs when at school, university and college - shop assistant, waitress, old folks home, metal box factory, post lady (person), chambermaid, barmaid and several more holiday jobs. There were two periods of time out, lasting more than 8 months, as an assistant in a TV Hire shop and a ward maid in a hospital but then I finally ended up as a teacher. Even then I went from Primary to Secondary to Special Needs.

Is there one person in your life (apart from parents) who has had a profound influence on you?

Had one the first time around, it was a sort of twist with three tiny diamonds. I'm saving if for my DiL but I don't wear it.

What was your first job after leaving school?

NO! The only housewifely thing I enjoy is baking.

Describe your engagement ring, if you have one, and do you wear it all the time?

Grandma2213 that sounds just like my brother

Hate cleaning the oven

Is there a household chore you enjoy ?

Yes - an extremely clever, well read, knowledgeable friend who has strong opinions. Half the time I don't understand what she is talking about but I like her!

What household chore do you hate the most?

No.

Is there anyone who you are afraid to stand up to?[not talking about gransnetters]

Yes, probably too regularly if I'm honest!

Have you ever had your fortune told?

If only!
But having said that, the living room is and the kitchen and utility, but if anyone knows of a free painter and decorator, send him or her my way please.

Do you regularly treat yourself?

I only listen to the radio in the car. It's set to Radio 1

Is your decor colour coordinated

I would not have married my first real boyfriend. I was far too naïve and young.

Which radio station(s) do you listen to?

I did in the past but don't seem to have the time (or money) now!

Is there anything in your past that you would change if you could?

Yes, with and without the aid of my fingers

Do you ever go to the cinema/theatre alone.
(I know some have no choice, I don't mean to offend/upset)

Yes - German. I learnt it in school to O level (remember those?) and kept it up by regular holiday visits. And in 1989 I was seconded to a German company based in Munich for 3 months as a liaison while they were building a system for us. You soon learn the language if you are immersed in it every day.

Can you whistle?

I would like to speak another language fluently.

Are you fluent in more than one language?

No

Is there a skill you wish you had learnt?

3 nights in a caravan in N Wales with DS and 3 DGC. Exhausting but they loved it!!

Have you ever had a supernatural/mystical experience?

Cats! Shysal - I've never heard of zawadibengals, so what am I like (as they say)?

DH have spent a whole week recently 'spring' cleaning the house, including shampooing all the carpets and upholstery and washing and ironing the curtains. It's been enjoyable having quite a big project to undertake together and we're done now. We normally do it in the spring but this year I had a hip replacement in March so it didn't get done. Normally I hate housework.

Where did you go on holiday this year?

www.zawadibengals.net/

Is there any housework which you enjoy?

At the moment, it's jeggings, but I'm very fickle.

What's your next favourite website after Gransnet?

I was about 25 years old, and passed first time, much to my surprise!

What is your favourite item of clothing, past or present?

I always did the wallpapering but I last did it 2 yrs ago and vowed. never again !

If you drive, how old were you when you passed your test.
