B) What does the last text you received say? And from whom?     "Aw great, what a fantastic day".

D) Are you afraid of walking alone at night?  Nope;  I have a husband who is a Scout leader and spends  considerable nights under canvas.  Am more than comfortable to wake up, dawdle to the loo and return with no problem.


E) What do you do to relax at the end of a stressful day?  Crochet. or knot, I like crafts. 


F) Where did your last kiss take place and with whom?   With my husband, last night in bed. 


G) Do/did you get into trouble a lot at school?  No, I was invisible at school.  A girl I sat beside for two years at School met me in the supermarket, and I said "Oh F, it's been so long How have you been?" and she stood and looked at me and had that look on her face which told me she had not a clue who I was. 


H) Do you enjoy your job? If unemployed, are you content being so?  yes, I love my job.  Numbers. 


I) Do you often pick up on double entendres and innuendos?  Yes, in fact, I pick them up in places I shouldn't.


J) Have you ever been offered drugs but declined?  No.  Not one git has ever offered me drugs, ever. Even when my friend went out with a dealer, HE didn't even offer me any. I must have one of those permanently disapproving faces.



K) Have you ever met someone who has completely altered your way of thinking?  Hmmmm, no.  I have noises in my head who alter my opinions all the time. 


L) Have you ever been offered drugs and accepted?  No. No... No one has ever offered me drugs AT ALL.

Pretty much just being any where near my husband does... seeing him walking down the street.  On the other hand, my neighbour - she REALLY likes the smell of camp fire.  I have to smuggle my husbandinto the house when he come back from camping. 


N) When did someone last admit romantic or sexual feelings for you? Was the feeling mutual?   My husband.  We are a match.. Yesterday, our daughter Tooli said "I remember when you and dad were driving us in France, we thought you would get divorced when we got home".   We both are very vocal in our joint disapproval of each other's map reading and driving skill set.   We both looked at each other and said that the one thing she would never have to worry was about us breaking up.  We are together for life.  Lobsters. 


O) What is something you have given a lot of thought to lately?   I don't think about much for any great length of time.  Ever.


P) When did you last swallow your beliefs to avoid an argument or confrontation?  A couple of weeks ago.  I hate political / religious argument.  I could win flat down any argument supporting my political or religious belief, but I do believe that everyone is entitled to their own belief without hammering it on someone else.  I was in the company of someone who slated everything I know and support, and was throwing in a bit of bigotry and racism to boot;  I got up and left, rather than partake in it.

Healthy Meme

Stolen from: Love me some surveys

When was the last time you got a nose bleed?   Hmm, one night this week - I woke up with my face stuck to the pillow.   I put the pillow straight in the wash, but the blood stain didn't come out. So I steeped it for a day in salted water, and then washed it all again, with Vanish, and now they are perfect again


Do you keep magazines by your toilet?   No no no no.... If I left magazines there my husband would never come out.

What are the best kind of Girl Scout cookies?   Aw, this is a very American thing to ask.... our Girl Scouts don't do cookies - they do "bob a job", but now they aren't allowed to do that, because that is the same as asking kids to approach strangers, and put themselves in danger.  It's a sad world.


When was the last time you purchased alcohol?  hmmm. recently.  very recently.  Not sure when exactly..... two weeks maybe, we bought a case of wine... we had a bottle tonight, it was lush, Cause and Effect it was called; we both liked it a lot. 


Do you find it attractive when a guy actually shows his feelings?   I find it immensely confusing. My husband is the least emotional guy I know.  When he is REALLY happy, he smiles. On our wedding day -his smile was brighter than the sun, then I knew he was definitely , absolutely certain about marrying me. :-) 



Are you a fussy eater? Only with certain things.  I hate EVIL taemataes.   I struggle to eat anything with the evil taemataes in them.  I think its a seed thing.  If we have melons or pomegranates - seeds have to be hidden from me. Peppers, too.  I can eat them, but the seeds are difficult. 


List everything you ate and drank today:   A bread roll with cheese and coleslaw. A stick of natural liquorice, chicken filet with mozerella and bacon with Sweet potato fries.

Have you ever told anyone you were okay when you really weren’t?  Yes, frequently.  And quite a lot recently.
