Sponge cake or similar, jelly, maybe fruit, custard, topped with whipped cream. The lemon jubilee trifle is good.

No Ive never made my own ice cream.

Have you ever gate crashed an event?

I did when I was younger - several parties and a charity auction. No one seemed to notice.

No, but myself and a two friends were watching guests at an Indian wedding when staying at a hotel. Before we knew it we had been gathered up and included in the reception. We had a lovely time.

I wasn’t keen on the name chosen for our DGS3. I didn’t say so and now he is 14 months old his name suits him so well.
Have you ever found the same ?

Only with one DGD, it was more the fact that it wasn’t what I was expecting and it’s not often used much nowadays. I like it now and it suits her. My mother in law said are you sure when my husband rang and told her we had a little girl & her name!? It was nothing out of the ordinary at all.


Have you ever had your eyebrows micro bladed, tattooed, tinted, laminated etc. I’ve had them tinted and did make an appointment for micro blading but chickened out.
