Fizzle Knit Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Homemade soup, with kidney beans, lentils, veg and spices. Your lunch sounded yummy. What's the worst job you've ever done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Shelf stacking on the twilight shift at Asda - absolutely hated it! Bacon, eggs, saute potatoes,baked beans and toast followed by low fat yogurt What will you eat tonight? - Good job the yogurt was low fat Plum! Plum has led to me having a serious fabric addiction (she introduced me to Patchwork). Today I spent another £28 on fabric that I don't really need, I have no firm idea of what I will make with it but I just had to have it. What serious addiction do you have?

theherd123 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Maya Angelou - maybe not as well known as some celebs but i love her and would just love to be in her shoes for a day, to feel her wisdom & have her experience.

Valkyrie Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thank goodness Emma - I was beating the brains trying to think and all I could think of was the Ron's mum in Harry Potter and I couldn't remember her name! I would like to meet Albert Einstein because I think he was such a cutie and so clever - hope it would rub off on me! Who was your idol in your teens?

Valkyrie Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 A smallholding. Would you opt for a smallholding if you had the chance, or nice cottage with tennis court, pool and a big garden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 It would be a nice cottage with tennis court, pool and a big garden which I would turn into a nice cottage with tennis court, pool and smallholding. Lovely dream to have Koojie. If you had a smallholding what would you stock it with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 The last one I had was OH wouldn't mow the lawn - very frustrating. Most of my dreams tend to be winding me up in one way or another. No wonder I get up feeling exhausted! I dream in fabulous technicolour - do you know if yours are in colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hmm thats tough as I have two, one is Shawshank Redemption because it is thought provoking, happy and sad and beautifully filmed and put together and the other is My Fair Lady - the singing, dancing, costumes, colour and most of all I love the story. Talking of Shawshank Redemption and prison - one of my worst fears is being put in prison for something you didnt do - whats your worst fear (not phobia)?

Chucky Mama Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 The Omlet forum of course plus enjoy playing the saxophone and am now enjoying learning to play the clarinet. Do you think that the Royal Family are good value for money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Hard one.... I like having the royal family there and really admire the Queen. I'm sure they generate alot of income for the country but not sure that I think they are "value for money". If one of your off-spring dated one the the young royals - how would you feel?

Chickvic Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Embarrassed! They probably wouldn't understand my broad Brummie accent! Who is your favourite Royal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Probably Princess Anne, as she seems quite grounded and has appeared to bring up sensible kids. Would you rescue a chicken you thought was in danger even if it would technically be stealing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hmmm thats a difficult one. I would try and do all i could before it got to desperate measures like stealing. Whats your favourite plant in the garden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Well I love my roses although ask me in the spring and I would be saying the daffs Have to say I also love any dandelions that I can get to grow (and boy do we struggle to grow dandelions ) as I need them for the torts.

bigmommasally Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Yes 2, Collar bone as a child and my wrist as an adult when I tried ice skating for the first and last time Have you had a sporting accident? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Fell off a horse while it was racing another horse - but I wasn't racing I was hanging on round it's neck for grim death! I then landed in a cow pat and then got dragged along the ground in even more cow pats - my foot was stuck in a stirrup. Not sport for me, but the bloke thought it was a jolly good one. Words cannot express what I would have loved to have said afterwards. Fortunately only my pride was hurt while my derriere was a little bruised. Can you ride and if so how many times have you fallen off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I had lessons some years ago, it was something I'd always wanted to learn but my parents couldn't afford it when I was a child. It was ok while I had 1:1 lessons but then they said I should join a class and learn to jump, and I hated that. I fell off three times, and the last time I remember thinking 'this isn't fun any more ... and I'm PAYING for this!' So I hung up my riding hat! Is there something you really wanted to do as a child but couldn't (or weren't allowed to!) and have you done it or do you think you ever will?

Valkyrie Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 That would have been the horse riding. I started learning when I started work - like you my parents couldn't afford it. I started off in stables at Englefield Green and we went out 1-1 in Windsor Great Park. Nice setting - except the horse bolted luckily it was uphill and I brought it under control. Never managed to get a horse to gallop though - they just trotted faster. It wasn't until DD wanted to ride that I thought I'd have another go just up the road at Wellington. I liked it there and I did gallop - thrilling. But then I changed to a beautiful Apaloosa (spotty botty) and he was like a slippery barrel - I fell off. Never wanted to jump and they didn't force us to either, thankfully. But when I fell off the last time I thought how lucky I didn't break anything because of all the children's activities would have to go on hold until broken bones mended. In short I realised I was a mere mortal! The only other thing that I wasn't allowed to do was when mum went out to the shops briefly. "I'm locking up while you play in the garden because I don't want you getting water for mud pies." Well, she left the little kitchen window open and I climbed up, opened the big window and filled a bucket full of water and when she came home I was covered in mud - I was about 9 then. But she wasn't too cross - she realised that if I got in easily, then so could a burglar. Have you ever been a bit of a daredevil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scramble Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yes unfortunately, when my friends dared me to go on Air at Alton Toweres This year it's Oblivion I think they like to see my face, honestly I never buy the pictures when they come out at the end Do you ever think that you are a bit too scaredy-cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I am such a goody goody because I am too scared to get into trouble. I love Alton Towers - especially the hairy ones - I usually do an Austin Powers baddy pose (can't remember the name, but he's the bigger version of Mini me ) Your favourite ride there is?
