Chicken bald back

[Valkyrie]

Maths - I don't need to use logs or slide rules - multiplication, division, adding, subtracting and fractions are all that I needed or have ever used.

 

School - the best years of your life or worst (difficult one for the young'uns!)

[Chickvic]

Best - for the simple lack of responsibility! I didn't have to work, pay the bills, organise anything *sigh*

My favourite teacher from primary was Mr Gray, I had him in Year 3 (7-8 years old) and I adored him!

 

Who was your favourite teacher?

[Looney]

I didn't have a favourite....just those that I could wrap around my little finger and get away with murder and those that I couldn't!

 

Did you get many detentions at school?

[kitbag]

Not one!!

 

Did your school have any pets??

[Chickvic]

No - I was an or a creep which ever way you look at it

 

Were you in the 'in-crowd'? I wasn't - too nerdy

[Chickvic]

Cross posted!

 

Yes, we had slow worms, rats, gerbils and mice. Looked after the slow worms at home

 

Were you in the 'in-crowd'?

[ClaireG]

Defiantly not in the in crowd! Was bullied at school

 

Did you go to a state or private school?

[Valkyrie]

Grammar which became a secondary 3 years after I started. We looked like the girls from St Trinians (should have seen me wielding my hockey stick - we ruled) - and then we had what looked like a sack with a collar and a zip.

 

Favourite school sport?

[Chickvic]

Netball - I was tall and never got picked last

 

Do you still see school friends?

[Fizzle Knit]

One of them - we were at school together from 5 to 18 and became friends in secondary school. Seeing her this weekend in fact

 

What have been the happiest times of your life (edited to change question as it had already been asked)

[Valkyrie]

I think the happiest time of all was staying in the New Forest most school holidays with my grandparents. If I could turn back time . . .

 

. . . what would you do (I think this has already been done, but maybe someone else might like a stab at it) - don't worry if you double up Fizzle.

[Helly Welly]

I wouldn't put on 5 stone whilst pregnant as it's a lot harder to get off than put on. Trouble was, i weighed 7.5 stone when i got pregnant and pregnancy just made me constantly starving.

 

Where do you shop? (Just being nosey )

[Space Chick]

I shall answer all. Food shopping - I get my meat from an organic farmer or a fabulous traditional butcher, my veg from Riverford, my fish from a lovely fishmonger and the rest from Sainsburys.

 

My clothes I tend to buy from Next, M&S or Principles, unless its for around the house and then its Matalan.

 

What is your favourite shop and why?

[redhotchick]

For me it's Sainsbury's. It is a bit further than Asda, but is much less crowded, has excellent produce, I can find my way around easily and the car park is never too full or difficult to park in.

 

Do you watch Wimbledon?

[bigmommasally]

Sort of watching it with one eye, the other one is on here.

 

Being an line judge looks a bit dangerous though.

 

Can you play tennis?

[Looney]

Nope! Was always rubbish

 

Are you a fan of strawberries and cream?

[redhotchick]

I love Strawberries and cream!

 

Do you add sugar to your strawberries or not?

[Chickvic]

Not if they've got cream on them

 

What sport is a 'must watch' for you?

[theherd123]

Tennis right now and if Murray doesnt win this match he needs bashing over the head!

 

Which sport do you hate watching?

[bigmommasally]

Hate Football/Cricket/Golf/Basketball. My OH watches them all though Which is why he loves me being on here, he gets control of the remote control.

 

Who controls the TV in your house?

[Chickvic]

*snorts* (very unladylike) DH, as always

 

How many remotes do you have?

[Looney]

Just the two!

 

 

Do you lounge on your sofa or sit properly?

[Chickvic]

Lounge - I have a big leather corner suite, so you have to lounge

 

What colour is your living room?

[bigmommasally]

Cream walls and carpet, Minky suite, and with various shades of teal green accents in the accessories. I love it, OH just goes along with what ever I want usually, though he would pretend that he had input if you asked him.

 

Who does the interior design in your house?

[Fizzle Knit]

I have the bigger say, although "interior design" sounds rather grand for our decorating escapades.

What;s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you?
