Ask Me Anything: Ask CustardTart Anything

[pokemon_master]

Hey. Little Miss Partyer (Going out for the weekend? Phmpt, no-one is off on my time!! ) will hopefully be here all week. I hope, but we shall see!

Again, I am busy at the moment, but I will ask:

Did you like Exams?

Revising for them?

The Results Afterwards?

Have fun, good luck!!

 

[CustardTart]

Sorry, Matt, it won't happen again!

1. Hated exams! I went to a very competitive all-Girls high school which made an uber-deal out of exams and, as my mission was non-conforming, it could only end in disaster...

2. Found it impossible to revise for 'em - I always had something better to do so never opened my books until the night before...

3. Got used to poor results (compared to my peers) and never let it ruffle my "too cool for school" attitude...

Thankfully none of my children are like me!

Hi there, Good Luck!

How old are you?

Do you go to the cinema much?

What's the last movie you watched?

What's your fave brand of make-up?

What's your fave brand of perfume?

That'll do for now, Thanx

How many times have you been to WDW?

Have you been to any of the other Disney locations?

Are you planning a trip at the moment?

Which is your favourite park?

 

[CustardTart]

Hey, Audrey! Happy you took time to ask me something.

1. I'm 43 (44 in June).

2. Not as much as I'd like - I've got a dodgy back and cinema seats can really play it up...

3. Actually (despite my above answer) I went last week to see Blades of Glory, wonderfully stupid Will Ferrell comedy - loved it!

4. I'm a bit of a secret QVC shopper so I mainly buy stuff from there - Laura Geller's make-up is fantastic IMO and what I use the most. I also love MAC and Smashbox...

5. That's tough. I'm on the lookout for a new perfume but at the moment I wear Falling In Love by Philosophy...

Thanks Natalie!

Do you know, I knew someone would ask me that and the truth is I don't really know!!! Many moons ago I had to come up with a screen name on another site and I didn't want to use my name. I think someone was called 'fruitcake' and I just had a 'moment' and thought "ooh, CustardTart is cool plus it's almost(!) my initials!!!" I've regretted it ever since - specially as Mr. Stringer decided it was rhyming slang for a certain bodily function...

I love cakes - BUT they don't love me! I've got a few pastries clinging onto my midriff as we speak...

I do love cold custard too - especially with hot apple pie. It's that whole hot/cold sensation - oooh....

thanks Karen

what is your favourite song ?

have you ever been to a concert ? if so who ?

 

[pokemon_master]

How many pages will I go before I get bored and not both to check anymore?

 

[CustardTart]

How many times have you been to WDW?

Which is your favourite park?

Hi Jo!

I've been to WDW 6 times so far.

I've been to DLP a few times and the original Disneyland once.

At the moment I'm planning sooo many trips it's quite embarrassing and ridiculous! My excuse is I am official trip planner for my friends and family who don't seem to mind if I tag along...

My favourite park is probably MK - despite it's lack of alcohol opportunites! IMO nothing beats the whole "walking down Main Street" experience tho' "drinking your way around the World Showcase" comes a close second...

 

[CustardTart]

thanks Karen

what is your favourite song ?

have you ever been to a concert ? if so who ?

OMG THAT'S TOUGH!!! My current fave song has to be something by Death Cab For Cutie from their last album, Plans or is it a track from Keane's Under The Iron Sea which I can't stop playing!!!??? Decisions, decisions...

OK I'll go for Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen - it was my favourite song growing up and I still get a shiver when I listen to it...

I've been to many concerts starting back in the 1970's when I went to see Cliff Richard with my Mum, bless her! Then I got the bug and saw David Essex, Slade, Mud, Showaddywaddy, Glitter Band, Roxy Music, Blondie, Thin Lizzy, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Roy Harper, Dire Straits, Bob Dylan, Santana, Ramones, XTC, Steve Forbert, Nils Lofgren, EMF, Rolling Stones, David Bowie and others I can't (or won't) remember... Most recently I've seen DCFC (see above) and Keane who were brilliant!

 

[CustardTart]

How many pages will I go before I get bored and not both to check anymore?

I'd say 2 - life's too short!

Hi Karen ! (Glad I've finished with this now) !

Do you enjoy cooking?

Do you enjoy gardening?

Do you watch much television?

Do you like sport?

 

[CustardTart]

Hi Sue!

Love cooking - I'm doing lemon sole with lemon and garlic butter for dinner! I don't do as much of it as I'd like now my kids aren't home that often - still make a DH a fantastic full breakfast at the weekend tho'...

Gardening not so much. I just don't have green fingers and plants die on me too regularly for it to be fun. The whole hosepipe ban gets on my nerves too - how am I supposed to make my patio look purty if I can't give the poor wretched plants a drink..?

I definitely think about watching too much TV now I've got Sky+! I record all the US cop shows I love and then get stressed if there's more than 60% being used up at any one time so end up deleting them...

I do enjoy sport. I'm a gym goer and have just started running. Plus I'm an armchair sports fan - tennis, cycling and football. I'm a Man Utd fan marooned in a sea of Aston Villa fans (DH, DS21, DS13) - pity the fools...

That's tough! OK, theme-wise, it's a toss-up between Darling Buds of May or St. Trinian's - shall I be Ma Larkin or an impossibly old schoolgirl??? St. Trinian's it is...

I would wear my old school uniform (if I could find it) - blouse, low-slung tie, short skirt and comedy fish-nets!!!

I'd invite Hulk Hogan; Bill Oddie; Fern Britton and Tyra Banks...

I wouldn't! I hate food at parties - all those hands touching it, YUK!!! Let 'em get McDonald's or a kebab on the way home...

I'd play my iPod on Shuffle - there's a banging mix of tunes from the last 4 decades on that baby...

Champagne, champagne, champagne!!!

It's not been too bad. Nothing to make me squirm - yet!!!

I love so many but Victoria & Albert's at GF is just such a top dine-fest!

Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville on Citywalk...

Love 'em now tho' it's taken a while. I try and do a new one each time I go to Orlando. Last time it was Kraken and next time it's Duelling Dragons...

My overall fave is ToT! Fantastic theming and an awesome pre-ride experience - I get so scared every time...

Usually go to Seaworld - I need my Clyde & Seamore fix....

We spent a wonderful day at DC back in August 2004. I'm somewhat scared of water & I did things that day I never thought I'd do - swim with dolphins and rays as well as snorkel! I'll never forget it and hope to do it again soon...

Ah the addiction that is the Disney Cruise Line! I did a 3 night taster with my DD back in May 2005 and raved about it so much DH agreed to a 7 night Western Caribbean to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary this September. Then my DD, DSs and partners started getting interested in the itinerary and on-board facilities so we've booked the whole family on a NYE cruise in 2008. Thank goodness for deposit only bookings!
