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

soontobe Wed 23-Sept-15 17:04:13

No. I suppose I enjoy looking at foreign stamps but would not collect them.
[just noticed your question from friday. I am early/mid 50s]

If you had a day off tomorrow, and could visit a place in the UK, money etc no object, where would you choose to visit?

Bellanonna Wed 23-Sept-15 13:56:11

Ooh, difficult. Love marmite on crisp breads or cheese sarnie, jam on scones, so I suppose I don't have a preference

Have you ever collected stamps ?

shysal Wed 23-Sept-15 12:38:06

I hate the taste of all alcoholic drinks, so not good for me!

Marmite or jam?

Marmark1 Wed 23-Sept-15 08:15:37

No,my Freinds looking foreword to theirs in October .
Is a tot of whiskey good for you?

Bellanonna Tue 22-Sept-15 10:00:30

Yes ! Interesting to watch them having to adapt to current times. My, how does one cope without an under butler ? I'm so lucky, I've never had to !

Are holidays for this year finished ? ( I'm listening to the downpour outside my window and looking forward to my holiday in the sun next week. Ever the optimist)

Indinana Tue 22-Sept-15 09:22:44

Yes, my current one was new a few months after I retired. I'd promised myself and had saved for it!

Did you watch Downton Abbey on Sunday?

soontobe Tue 22-Sept-15 09:02:16

I used to regularly ride. Now I ride occasionally.

Have you ever owned a new car? [I havent].

shysal Tue 22-Sept-15 08:51:40

Not often. The last one a tried had 5 different corner pieces, so I couldn't be bothered to complete it, assuming there were errors!

Do or did you regularly ride a bicycle?

Marmark1 Tue 22-Sept-15 08:38:39

Arlington court.
Do you do jig saws?

Leticia Mon 21-Sept-15 22:10:07

It can't have been a very exciting weekend!

Which is your favourite National Trust property?

Leticia Fri 18-Sept-15 22:21:54

I joined the library before I can remember.

Are you doing anything exciting this weekend?

Bellanonna Fri 18-Sept-15 20:46:35

Would much prefer train, but it's always car - cheaper, easier for luggage, and access to remote places possible

Can you remember your first library book ( probably aged 7 if you're my era)?

Soon, can't believe you never bought a record ! Are you fairly young ? Mine was Lonnie Donegal too - Great Coolie Dam

soontobe Fri 18-Sept-15 17:06:32

I dont think I ever bought a record.
I used to buy compilation cassettes for my car.

Going on a longer journey, do you prefer to go by train or car?

shysal Wed 16-Sept-15 15:56:54

Never been keen on camping. Don't mind a caravan though.

What was the first record you bought? Mine was Lonnie Donegan's Battle of New Orleans on a 78rpm.

Bellanonna Wed 16-Sept-15 14:07:18

Funny smell, too !!

love dogs, not overly keen on cats these days though I look after DD1s when she's away. I hate dealing with litter trays.

As a gran, do you still go camping, if that's something you've enjoyed in the past ?

TerriBull Wed 16-Sept-15 13:48:13

Yes I do even if it turns pee a funny colour.

Cats or dogs, which do you prefer? assuming you like animals.

POGS Wed 16-Sept-15 11:52:29

no I bloomin don't

Do you like asparagus

soontobe Wed 16-Sept-15 10:38:22

Not as a general rule. I do put the radio on a music channel though sometimes.

Do you enjoy housework?

Joelsnan Wed 16-Sept-15 08:54:10

I usually use plain English, I only know the meaning of a few abbreviations!

Do you sing whilst doing housework?

shysal Wed 16-Sept-15 08:42:00

Posted too soon!

Do you use all the abbreviations when texting or use plain English?

shysal Wed 16-Sept-15 08:41:00

I remember the horror of starting school at 4 years old, not knowing anyone. The most upsetting part was the gristly mince for lunch, which I was made to finish!

Leticia Wed 16-Sept-15 07:44:37

I have bought one thing that I saw on holiday.

What age were you at your first memory?

soontobe Tue 15-Sept-15 20:26:31

I always start off with good intentions, but basically no!

Have you bought anything for christmas yet?

henetha Tue 15-Sept-15 10:04:37

Both, at times.

Do you make your own Christmas caker/puddings/mince pies?

Bellanonna Tue 15-Sept-15 09:15:52

No. Not at all.

Are you a worrier, or laid back and relaxed ? ( I'm the former )
