Ask a question Part 2

It varies, fruit n fiber cereal, porridge or maybe poached egg on toast.

Do you eat supper ? Late night snack, not evening meal that is.

Only on a diet day (on the 5:2) when I keep enough calories back to let me have a small piece of fruit before I go to bed so that I don't wake either of us up with my tummy rumbling

Are there any foods that you really can't stand - not allergies or intolerances, but just a taste you really hate?

Spinach and kidneys!

Are you a good singer?

If only !

What do you wish you could do better ?

Dance! I find it hard to move arms and legs in any organised sort of way. (Poor co-ordination)

Have you ever made your own clothes?

No, I only sew when I have to.

What do you do when you can't sleep ?

The method of getting back to sleep that worked for me last night, was suggested by a doctor. I slow down my breathing and count each in breath to about 50, I am usually gone round 20.

Do you go out in the snow and how do your avoid falling over in the icy, snowy conditions ?

Yes. I walk in the road. So could end up in A&E either way, but at least on the road I can keep dodging in away from any cars. I love the crispy air and quietness of being out in the snow.

Do you keep the CH on overnight in cold spells ?

I run mine on the thermostat during the winter. I turn it down very low st night so it only kicks in if the temperature drops to 12o or less. I'm usually snuggled up under a 13.5 tog duvet with a hot water bottle by then.

Does anyone remember chilblains as a child? Nobody seems to suffer from them these days.

All my friends got chilblains Anya and I thought I was missing out as I didn't. I don't know why as my feet were probably just as wet and cold as theirs. My shoes often had holes in them!!!

Do you still build snowmen or throw snowballs? I love it!!!

Yes, I do. Love clearing snow too, although back-breaking.

What length is your hair?

Only clear snow when car has vanished
My hair, like me, is short but not necessarily neat!!!

Grannylyn didn't ask a question so I'll answer sal's: short at the back, longer at the sides

Do you wear a woolly hat in the cold weather ( or any kind. of hat, really) ?

Never wear hats, find them claustrophobic, have plenty of hair for insulation.

Did you used to like the frost patterns on your windows as a child?

Yes, I thought they were very pretty, but am exceedingly glad that someone invented double glazing, as I wouldn't like them now!

Do you like doing jigsaws?

No - don't have the patience.

Do you like Sudoku puzzles?

Love them. Try to do all 3 in the Times every day.

What is your opinion on staying in or leaving the EEC?

Any why?

In.

Did you go to church today?

No

Do you have a Sunday paper?

No.

Do you own anything in animal print?

Yes I have a lovely velvet scarf that I am wearing at this very moment and it looks like zebra stripes.

Do you call your evening meal - tea, supper, dinner ?

S/b afters!
