Mega Rushed today so I won't say much. You know what to do!

[Laurafoster]

What is your favorite NON Disney park? and why?

[natalielongstaff]

how did you find the disboards?

have you always lived in the midlands ?

good luck with all the questions ?

[wils]

What is your favorite NON Disney park? and why?

Mornin' :goodvibes

It would have to be Sea World as I love dolphins and manatees and I'm not a big thrill ride girl! I love Discovery Cove too but it's not a 'must do' every trip (mostly because of the price!)

[wils]

how did you find the disboards?

From the Brits Guide back in 2004 when we were planning our first trip with DD and wanted to have a vague plan in place (Yep I had previously been to WDW with no plan and no list of busy park days :scared1:)

have you always lived in the midlands ?

Nope, we previously lived in Redhill, Surrey but my husband's job was relocated. We weren't going to move as I loved my job but then we found out I was expecting (DD) and the thought of a cheaper mortgage (and a career break for me ;) ) appealed so we took the offer.

good luck with all the questions ?

Thanks - I feel like I'm been eased in gently at the mo!

Finding the site sluggish this morning and I'm impatient so another duplicate post - sorry

7 years - I was a child bride :rotfl:

[mikki.young]

Same questions for you :)

What is your favourite Disney memory?
What was your worst Disney experience?
Do you have a favourite Disney resort?

[Minniespal]

Hi Jo:yay:

If you could visit Orlando for 6 months - what resort/resorts would you stay at?

[carolfoy]

what did you do before the career break?

will you go back to it?

if you could get retrained in any other career immediately what would you choose and why?

[higgy66]

Hi

Do you have any pets?

What's your favourite TV programme at the moment?

What's the one thing you couldn't live without?

Did you go to university?

[wils]

Same questions for you :)

What is your favourite Disney memory??

On the last night of our last trip we were in Magic Kingdom late (it was the night before Thanksgiving) DH decided that he wanted one last go on Space Mountain so I said I'd take DD (who'd just turned 2) to see the Princesses. We did this and then Wishes started. Molly was terrified and said she was scared and wanted Cinderella. So we went round to the queue which was very short and saw the Princesses. We went to see Minnie and then back to the Princesses again. Aurora recognised us and we explained we were waiting for Daddy.

When DH returned we decided to go and say goodbye to the Princesses and again there was no queue. Aurora asked DH how the ride had been and then asked her CM to shut the door to the room. When everyone else had left Aurora, Cindrella and Snow White danced with Molly and she had a photo taken with the 3 of them. She looks exhausted (we were trying to wear her out in the hope she'd sleep more than the 20 minutes she had on the flight out!)

http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/data/500/65354princess4.jpg

What was your worst Disney experience??

None really yet! When I went as I child we were going round the world so only had 3 days in Florida. I was really ill on the flight out and so I was made to spend a day in bed :confused3 Luckily i didn't know what I was missing!

Do you have a favourite Disney resort?

I have only stayed at All Star Movies and haven't seen them all. I love ASMo but I like the feel of Wilderness Lodge

[Madjock]

Good luck Jo :goodvibes

Who is your favourite Disney character?
what is your favourite Disney movie?
If you were only able to catch one which would it be Wishes or Illuminations?

[wils]

Hi Jo:yay:

If you could visit Orlando for 6 months - what resort/resorts would you stay at?

All of them (I guess that's cheating!)

We'd have to stop in at ASMo as Molly loves the pool and the decoration is such fun

Would love to chill at Wilderness Lodge. DH and DD liked the rocking chairs when we went to nose!

A few days at the Contempory - for convenience for MK and also as I loved the trip report about the conceirge service (sorry i can't remember who posted it!)

Also one of Boardwalk/ Yacht Club villas (if we could do a deal with a DVCer!) as I've never been over that way and the photos I've seen look lovely.

Then for convenience for I-drive the Nickelodeon Hotel and Hard Rock Hotel.

I think a month in each would be very nice!

[wils]

what did you do before the career break?

I worked as a Data Planner for the Direct arm (don't hate me Carol!) of a holiday company. It was my job to analyse data and make recommedations on brochure mailing programmes.

will you go back to it??

No - I have a good excuse as it was based near Gatwick ;) Seriously the thought of dealing with hundreds of thousands of brochures and the associated postage costs fills me with horror :scared1: these days (It was just major fear when I was in the job!)

if you could get retrained in any other career immediately what would you choose and why?

Um Good question! I have no idea! I guess being a seamstress would be useful at the moment as I could make DD's costumes for dancing rather than paying for them to be made.

[wils]

Do you have any pets?

No, just the kids ;)

What's your favourite TV programme at the moment?

Really enjoying Prison Break. Also Bones, Heros and 24

What's the one thing you couldn't live without? My car. I don't know how my friends who don't drive manage (especially one couple with 2 kids where neither drive)

Did you go to university?

I did, I studied Education and Mathematics at Reading

[carolfoy]

ha ha, I don't hate you (even I booked with TCD direct last year!)

is it snowing where you are?

do you like the snow?

can you ski?

[wils]

ha ha, I don't hate you (even I booked with TCD direct last year!)

is it snowing where you are?

Phew - glad we are OK on that one ;)

No and the stuff that fell overnight has melted

do you like the snow??

I love the snow but hate the way the country seems to grind to a halt once a flake has fallen

can you ski?

No, can't imagine I'd be any good at it as I'm not the most co-ordinated!

[mandymouse]

Hey Jo

How long have you lived in Coventry ?

What secondary school did you go to ? (I went to Coundon Court)

Do you support Coventry City FC ?

Did you go to see CCFC win the FA Cup ?

Mandy :)

[JohnnySharp2]

Joshua really likes the 'Cat in the hat' ride at Islands Of Adventure but all that spinning makes me feel ill, have you ever felt ill after any ride?

Do you have any particular close friends on the DIS and have you ever met them?

I have a number of friends on the non-UK forums on the DIS, do you just post on the UK one's?

I really like the Trip Planning Forum and do not spend much time on the Community Board as I like to talk about Florida. Do you feel there are not enough guys on the CB?

[wils]

Hey Jo

Hi Mandy :goodvibes

How long have you lived in Coventry ? Next month we will have been here for 4 years

What secondary school did you go to ? (I went to Coundon Court) Aha the school that also gets noted on estate agent details "In the catchment area for Coundon Court"

I went to school in Welwyn Garden City and then in Hatfield

Do you support Coventry City FC ?

No, I used to watch Luton Town when I lived further south and DH supports Middlesbrough. DH is taken DD to a match at the Ricoh at Easter (through Nursery) so I think she could well be one in a few years

Did you go to see CCFC win the FA Cup ?

No, I vaguely remember seeing some of it on TV . Was at Wembley to see Luton lose to Chelsea in the semis one year though:confused3

[wils]

Joshua really likes the 'Cat in the hat' ride at Islands Of Adventure but all that spinning makes me feel ill, have you ever felt ill after any ride?

I am a real big ride wimp though actually I'm worst on spinning rides too. I went on the spinning whatevers at Legoland with DH and my nephew and had to sit for about 1/2 an hour afterwards. I also had a bad episode on a ferris wheel at a fairground where the seats spun too

Do you have any particular close friends on the DIS and have you ever met them?

I wouldn't say that there is anyone in particular who I am close to. The only Disser I have met to date is Gems (T1GEM) who I spent a very pleasant couple of hours with last autum.

I have a number of friends on the non-UK forums on the DIS, do you just post on the UK one's?

I don't post regularly beyond the UK boards - just don't have time to keep up with it all.

I really like the Trip Planning Forum and do not spend much time on the Community Board as I like to talk about Florida. Do you feel there are not enough guys on the CB?

To be honest i'd not really thought about it. Though I am honoured you've popped over to this thread! :goodvibes I suppose it would be nice to have a few more male opinions/perspectives around. I'll hopefully be over to trip planning a bit more often when my next trip gets a bit closer

Who is your favourite actress?

What is your favourite movie?

[wils]

Hello again...

Would you consider cosmetic surgery in the future?

To make it worthwhile it would have to be extensive and as I'm a wimp with pain it would be a no!

Which is your favourite city for shopping?

Not sure. haven't had a chance to go relaxed take your time shopping for ages. Probably Birmingham as it has most of the shops. Locally I prefer Nuneaton to Coventry as it always feels more relaxed there.

Do you exercise and, if so, how often?

No, I've never been very disciplined about exercise.

Thong or big knickers?

:laughing: Big knickers for sure - comfort over style

[wils]

Hey Wils.. :) Sorry I couldn't post questions earlier but I didn't have the time. Good luck! :goodvibes (Ignore if already said!)

Hi Matt! Thanks for the good wishes

How old are you at heart? How old are you really? ;)

At heart about 19 but really 33


Have you really had Sparrow on your Desktop? What kind of picture was it?? :lmao:

I have and I still do have regularly! It's a background that a Disser made for a friend with 4 Pics of Capt Jack on and a quote which I set as my background on the PC. He is covered in icons at the moment so I must do some housekeeping

Hope you have a great week.. :) No I am not trying to get revenge.. :rotfl2:

Thanks remember I was very nice to you and as your DIS big sis I'll tell Mummy if you upset me!

[wils]

Who is your favourite actor? ?

Toughy! (This week) Matt Damon and I do think Johnny Depp is very talented (and easy on the eye!)

Who is your favourite actress? I do like Drew Barrymore even though she always seems to play herself!

What is your favourite movie? ?I still love 'While you were sleeping','Jerry Maguire' and the 'LOTR' trilogy but the last film I really really enjoyed was 'Jarhead!'

What was the last movie you saw at the cinema? Saw 'Music and Lyrics' a couple of weeks ago with some mates - I thought it was good but not brilliant

[JohnnySharp2]

I love horror films whether it be sci-fi horror like Alien or just plain gory like the Saw trilogy.
What sort of films scare or shock you and which type do you avoid?

There are some crackers on at the cinema this year ALL these are absolute musts for me but if you could choose just 1 which would it be?
Spiderman 3, Die Hard 4, Bourne Ultimatum.

It's well known I like showing off pictures of Joshua, which of the 3 below do you prefer?

If you could choose a week at a beach location on the coast in Florida, where would you choose?

[florida sun]

[wils]

I love horror films whether it be sci-fi horror like Alien or just plain gory like the Saw trilogy.
What sort of films scare or shock you and which type do you avoid?

Everything scares me! :scared1: I do enjoy a good thiller though I always jump out of my skin even when I'm expecting something to happen (e.g. it's never going to turn out well when someone is looking in the bathroom mirror.) I must admit the out and out gore shock films are not my cup of tea - I can't imagine me ever seeing the Saw series! Alien and the like are about my limit!

There are some crackers on at the cinema this year ALL these are absolute musts for me but if you could choose just 1 which would it be?
Spiderman 3, Die Hard 4, Bourne Ultimatum.

OOOOoooo toughie! I have loved the Bourne series so far so I'd go for Bourne Ultimatum. Would love to see all 3 though

It's well known I like showing off pictures of Joshua, which of the 3 below do you prefer?

I had noticed - it's great and you've used some great shots over the years! I love seeing pics of Dis kids :) In this case I'd go for the middle one as he looks happy and relaxed and I can imagine you are sitting relaxing at a poolside table with a beverage in hand.

If you could choose a week at a beach location on the coast in Florida, where would you choose?

I have never ventured further than Universal Studios from Disney property so I have no idea - where would you recommend Johnny?

[wils]

Afternoon Jo

Hi Sue :)

Favorite Ice Cream Flavour??

Ben and Jerry's Phish food - Chocolate ice cream with marshmallow, caramel swirls and fish shaped chocolatey chunks.

Favorite Crisps??
Dull old ready salted

Have you ever met any Dissers??
Just Gems (T1GEM)

Lost or Nip/Tuck ??

Lost - I've never seen Nip/Tuck!!!

[CustardTart]

Here's a few more...

What's the best gift your DH has ever given you?

Who makes you laugh?

Which of the smilies best sums you up?

Are you a keen cook or do you hardly know the way to the kitchen?

[pokemon_master]

Thanks remember I was very nice to you and as your DIS big sis I'll tell Mummy if you upset me!

Yikes better not say anything mean or Carol will go all out on me!! :scared1: ;) (Won't stop her though! :rotfl2: )

How long ago did you join the DIS? How long before were you a Lurker? Have you enjoy your time with the DIS so far?

Are you expecting any really hard questions?? :rotfl2:

[JohnnySharp2]

I have never ventured further than Universal Studios from Disney property so I have no idea - where would you recommend Johnny?

Hi Jo - no chance of sitting relaxing at all I am afraid, Josh would want me to splash him in the water or play ball or something....very difficult to get time to oursleves though naturally we like to see him happy.

Clearwater is the nicest beach I have been to, lovely white sand, Naples the nicest place, quiet and classy - either is a sound choice but only if you want to relax.
For excitement, great shopping and things to do Miami/Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach cannot be beat, and all fairly close to one another.

Sorry I have invaded the Community Board with Trip Planning stuff haven't I.

Back on subject:

Do you like beach holidays and relaxing or do you prefer to be always on the go and doing something?

[wils]

What's the best gift your DH has ever given you?

He got me a ring for my 21st which was stolen. When we got married he managed to get me one exactly the same to replace it even though the shop had stopped producing them - they made him one specially :love: I loved it the first time and second time round :goodvibes

Who makes you laugh? The kids - DD is 4 going on 13 and DS is going through a cheeky phase. I find Dave Gorman very funny - just watched a DVD of a show we'd seen live and it still made me laugh until it hurt!

Which of the smilies best sums you up?

;) It hopefully lets me get away with being cheeky and naughty!

Are you a keen cook or do you hardly know the way to the kitchen?

I know the way from the freezer to the microwave ;) I'm not the world's best cook but we don't starve.

[wils]

Good luck Jo :goodvibes

Who is your favourite Disney character??

Sorry missed this one earlier

Eeyore :eeyore:

what is your favourite Disney movie? ?

The Little Mermaid

If you were only able to catch one which would it be Wishes or Illuminations?

Wishes - I just love the music!

[wils]

Yikes better not say anything mean or Carol will go all out on me!! :scared1: ;) (Won't stop her though! :rotfl2: )

How long ago did you join the DIS? How long before were you a Lurker? Have you enjoy your time with the DIS so far?

Nearly 3 years ago - I didn't lurk for long as I had lots of questions I needed answering!

Are you expecting any really hard questions?? :rotfl2:

I hope not!

[wils]

Hi Jo - no chance of sitting relaxing at all I am afraid, Josh would want me to splash him in the water or play ball or something....very difficult to get time to oursleves though naturally we like to see him happy.

Silly me! :laughing: It must be really rewarding to see him enjoying himself :goodvibes

Clearwater is the nicest beach I have been to, lovely white sand, Naples the nicest place, quiet and classy - either is a sound choice but only if you want to relax.
For excitement, great shopping and things to do Miami/Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach cannot be beat, and all fairly close to one another.

Relaxing sounds great. Perhaps I could ditch the kids with DH for a day or two!

Sorry I have invaded the Community Board with Trip Planning stuff haven't I.

No probs :) We are all interested in planning to some degree as that's what brought us together and I've learnt new stuff about the coast now!

Back on subject:

Do you like beach holidays and relaxing or do you prefer to be always on the go and doing something? Pre-kids (and actually pre DH!) I'd like to sometimes do a beach/pool holiday and read but these days it's all go, go, go! DH isn't great sitting in the sun doing nothing and needless to say neither are the kids. I have to be doing something whilst relaxing but there is no chance of reading these days so I'd rather be on the go too

[DisneyJo]

Hi Jo

[wils]

Out of all the Disney parks you have visited which is your favourite and why? :)

I love MK at WDW :love: As soon as I'm at the top end of Main Street any problems or stresses diappear and I feel like a kid again. I love the range of attractions and just the whole feel of the place.

which of those would you most hate to come round your house?

kim and aggie as they'd get a whole series out of this place!

[wils]

Do you get alot of presents for Christmas?

Not so many these days as amongst friends we just buy for the children now. I always get cash from my parents which is nice for the sales

Who would you most like to be stuck in a lift with? and why?

who would you least like to be stuck in a lift with? and why?

[wils]

Me too and MIL insists on calling me Joanne :rotfl2:

:laughing: I don't actually respond to Joanne now - I actually have to think "oh that's me!"

What is the most you've spent on an outfit?

That would by far be my Wedding dress etc. Can't remember how much it was it total but it wasn't an obscene amount!)

What clothes do you wear most?

I'm def a jeans and casual top girl at the moment!

Handbags, shoes or not bothered?

My feet grow (again) last pregnancy so I don't have that many pairs of shoes at the moment - I eventually got rid of the ones that didn't fit as it not as if I'll ever get back into them.:guilty: All my bags are the size of a truck and full of junk so I guess not bothered!

[wils]

What was the worst date you ever went on?


I's struggling to think of anything really horrendous.

DH did nearly once force me out of the car for singing along with backing vocals of a song. :rolleyes1 I had to stop it was miles from home and I have no idea how I'd have got back

Have you ever been on a blind date?

No

Do you keep outfits from your youth that you know you should throw out?

Oh yes, guilty as charged :thumbsup2 though I am trying to cull at the moment but it totally isn't my nature to!

How often do you go out for a meal?

Apart from fast food not that often. Was just saying to DH yesterday that we must make the effort to get a babysitter more often.

[wils]

Hi:wave2:

Hi there Nikki :)

If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go & why?

Would love to a trip down the West Coast of the US. Some friends did it a few years ago and the photos were Fab!

who would you least like to be stuck in a lift with? and why?

Russell Brand - I think we'd struggle to find anything to talk about and he wouldn't be able to make me laugh.

[carolfoy]

last thing you bought - what was it and how much?

where do you stand on the Iraq war?

If passenger duty tax goes up by another £20-£30 per head would you still fly?

[florida sun]

Evening Jo

Where is the furthest country you have travelled to??

What one domestic thing could you not live without??

Do you have any hobbies???

:goodvibes :goodvibes

[carolfoy]

whats in your handbag?

describe every item of clothing you are wearing now?

do you Ebay? whats the last thing you bought/sold and how much?

[wils]

last thing you bought - what was it and how much?

A craft die in the shape of a heart on eBay for £1.99 - bargain!

where do you stand on the Iraq war?

I was against it from the start. I thought the whole attempt to find WOMD was just an excuse to invade. It is very sad that so many people have lost their lives during the war and I don't know if the resulting situation over there, although different, is any better than it was in 2003. :confused3

If passenger duty tax goes up by another £20-£30 per head would you still fly?

As we don't fly that often (every 4 years?) it wouldn't put us off . It would be a pain though

[wils]

Evening Jo

Where is the furthest country you have travelled to??

New Zealand

What one domestic thing could you not live without??

My Kettle

Do you have any hobbies???

I make greetings cards (should be making one I've had ordered as we speak but it can wait 5 mins!)

[wils]

whats in your handbag?

You've asked for it! It needs a clean out and its huge so here goes :

mobile, purse, ipod, changing mat, nappies, nappy sacks, money of vouchers, receipts, £5 note (:banana:), £5 off Make Up at Boots voucher (thanks - that would have gone out of date!), address book, charge of clothes for Dec, Batteries, McD's toy, tampax, Free soft play voucher (which i won today), paracetamol, Molly's epipen.

describe every item of clothing you are wearing now?

:laughing: I am dressed for an evening's slobbing (Changed to bath the kids)

Old frayed green next tracky bottoms, black knickers, White flowery bra (had I known I'd have made sure to put a matching set on :rotfl:), black loose top with cap sleeves, beige zip up top with a strange ink stain on.

do you Ebay? whats the last thing you bought/sold and how much?

I do indeed eBay. I posted the cheque for a heart shaped craft die (£1.99) yesterday.

[carolfoy]

Wilderness Lodge

[wils]

Hi Jo

Sorry it's taken me a while to get on to ask you a question.

Hi Laur's - I'll let you off ;)

How did you meet your DH?

When I went to Uni I got friendly with some of the local lads through a youth group at the local Church and he was their friend who was away (in Guildford) at Uni. I met him a few times and we got together when he came back 'home' to do an industrial year placement.

How old were you?

We are looking at villas so that we can prepare some of the kids meals (DD is very fussy) and to give us some extra space when the little ones are sleeping

:Have you ever hosted a Dis quiz?

Not yet. I currently have no photos evil enough for picture questions :laughing:

:Are you going to have more children?

Probably not.

What is your favourite book?

Is there a song that describes you?

What is your favourite album?

Laur's princess:

[wils]

What type of cards do you make?

Cards made with die cut shapes and simple embelishments. I am not at all artistic - I can't draw or paint to save my life

Do you sell them or just for you?

Mostly just for my own use but I keep a box at a local toddler group and I am getting asked more these days to make personalised cards.

Where do you get your ideas for your cards?

Magazines, craft websites mostly. My M-I-L also makes cards using similar materials - we have completely different styles but we sometiems get ideas from each other.

[wils]

what was the last lie you told?

Probably along the times of I'm just going to make a cup of tea - I'll be back in 5 minutes (or 20 after I've Dissed for a bit!)

what was the last text you sent? and recieved?

My friend Carrie had a planned C-section this am so it was From her Mum telling me the time and weight of the baby (boy) and I replied sending my love and congrats.

which holiday? caribbean all inclusive or African safari?

Much as I'd love to do a safari at the mo AI in the caribbean sounds like heaven :cloud9:

[wils]

City or countryside to live in?

City - I'm too used to the covenience of having all the big shops locally

Did you pass your driving test 1st time? (assuming you drive)

4th! :upsidedow. The test I passed was the 3rd one I'd taken that week!

Autumn or Winter?

Winter though I think I get a bit of SAD. I love Christmas

When did you 1st go to Disney? When I was about 9 with my parents. We were only there 3 days before going to Hawaii (I think their planning was a bit off!):sad1:

[wils]

What is your favourite book?

Can't think of one in particular but I do love Cecilia Ahern's novels and the Shopaholic series (nothing too deep or demanding for me!)

Is there a song that describes you?

I'm Going slightly mad by Queen :eek:

What is your favourite album?

James - Getting Away with It Live

What is your current favourite song?

I still love Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars not least because DS recognises it and puts his arms up to dance with me when it comes on

[Chilly]

Good morning, what are your plans for the weekend?

[Madjock]

Morning Jo :goodvibes

Do you enjoy being a stay at home mum or do you miss work?

What's the silliest thing you've heard yourself say to the children?

If you ever manage to get some 'me' time how do you like to spend it? (apart from DISing of course ;) )

Are you ever allowed to lock the bathroom door? :rotfl:

[arieljasmine]

Morning Jo

Are you going on holiday this year?

If so, where to?

What was your best ever holiday and why?

Laur's princess:

[wils]

Good morning, what are your plans for the weekend?


Morning! Nothing too exciting I'm afraid just watching Dancing On Ice with DD on Saturday Night and then taking her to a Festival she's dancing in on Sunday

[wils]

Morning Jo :goodvibes

Hi!

Do you enjoy being a stay at home mum or do you miss work?

I like being home with the kids but I do miss the adult company (Lucky I have you guys to chat to!) and taking long lunches ;) I suppose I also miss the satisfaction of a job well done and the thrill of an exciting project (Trying to make a tea that everyone will eat without complaint doesn't give me the same buzz!)

What's the silliest thing you've heard yourself say to the children?

'If you don't stop doing that there'll be no TV for a month'. I wouldn't get through the first morning as I need to have my first cuppa in peace!

If you ever manage to get some 'me' time how do you like to spend it? (apart from DISing of course ;) )

Crafting or having a long soaky bath

Are you ever allowed to lock the bathroom door? :rotfl:

:laughing: It's not worth it - It is incredible how Molly always needs the loo when I'm in the bathroom. Oh for a downstairs toilet!

[wils]

Morning Jo

Hi Laur's

Are you going on holiday this year?

If so, where to?[/QUOTE]

We are off to Butlins in Bognor at Easter - when for the first time last year and the kids loved it!

What was your best ever holiday and why?

I suppose our last trip to WDW when we took DD. It was such fun seeing everything through her eyes and doing different things like queuing up to meet ALL the characters

[saratogagirl]

...and Florence got the same!:goodvibes

[wils]

Hi Jo

I'm so sorry I haven't been able to ask questions this week, wonky donkey computer, but its coming home tonight so I can catch up.

Hi! Good to 'see' you - hope your 'puter is better soon

Which five people would you have to a dinner party and why (alive or dead) ?

Ooo Toughy - I am even having to get DH to make suggestions!

Angelina Jolie - she seems to have undergone such a transformation over the last few years. I'd love to see what she was really like
Dave Gorman - as he tells a good tale
Wentworth Miller - to improve the scenery
Stephen Fry - To raise (or lower!) the tone of the conversation
Walt Disney - he would be facinating to listen to

Favourite cocktail ?

Strawberry Daquiri

f you could have three items on a Desert Island what would they be ?

PC (broadband enabled), My bed, a fridge (pref. filled with cold drinks)

sweet or savoury ?

Sweet :)

[wils]

Jammies or Nighty?

Jammies

Tea or coffee?

Tea

Full fat, skimmed or semi?

skimmed

Crisps or chocolate?

chocolate

Marmite Love it or Hate it?

Love it

[wils]

have you been to New York?

No but I'd love to

do you like fish?

No, just the occasional fish & chips

have you ever cruised?

No and DH will need convincing to

[wils]

if you could be a charcter in a book who would you be? Same question for film and TV programme?

Book - Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice - would love the clothes and being wooed

Film - Elizabeth Swann in POTC - being fought over by Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom :love:

TV - Chloe in 24 - It would be fun to say what you thought (and be rude to people and get away with it!)

[wils]

lets get a little bit controversial...

Okay Carol lets go!

where do you stand on the death penalty?

I believe that the taking of any life is murder

do you believe murderers are natural or nurtured?

I'd think most are probably a bit of both

do you /would you wear fur?

No and I don't know that I would (unless I was cold and nothing else was available ;) )

what about hair extensions?

I've never had them as I have to keep my hair long (otherwise think little ophan Annie!) but I have nothing against them!

...and Florence got the same!:goodvibes

I'll have to go and check out what she said!

[Lisash]

i'll pass these to Flo too!

[wils]

have you any speeding points on your licence?

No

have you ever drank and driven?

No, if you saw me after a couple of drinks you'd see why :)

If you bought a really expensive item of clothing and wore it then got home to find your DH had been made redundant would you take it back?

Yes, We clearly would not longer be able to afford it and I'd also feel guilty everytime I wore it.

you scratch someones car in a car park but nobody sees you do you drive away?

No, if I'd caused damage I'd leave a note

[Chilly]

Morning,

If you could time travel which 3 periods in time would you visit and why?

If you had to live in a different period of time which would it be and why?

[wils]

Morning,

If you could time travel which 3 periods in time would you visit and why?

If you had to live in a different period of time which would it be and why?


Okay, great question but the most difficult one yet!

visitng


1) The court of Henry VIII to see what all his wives really thought of him

2) Back to before we had kids to have a lazy weekend not getting out of bed until after 12 both days :goodvibes

3) Two weeks time as I am having 2 wisdom teeth out next week and I'm dreading it! I would also find out the lottery numbers for the next couple of draws whilst i was there!

I think I'd like to live c1800, I love the clothing and observing the social order would be facinating.
