Hi Nikki!

We had a fabulous holiday in Egypt 3 years ago and I got to see the Sphinx which was one of my childhood ambitions... And I'll never forget a pre-Christmas trip to NYC with a girlfriend when we flew back on Concorde, the flash British babes that we were... Plus the budget back-packing Greek Island hopping trip DH and I did when we'd just finished sixth form - we always said we'd do it again when we had more cash but never have...

I've been to the US (obviously), Canada, India, China, Senegal, Egypt, France, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Italy, Cyprus, Turkey, Tunisia, Croatia, Greece...

One day I'd like to go on one of those extended Round the World cruises so DH and I can see many countries in one go - I'd especially love to see more of Asia and Africa. Hopefully if/when he retires...

I tend to prefer more active holidays to laying on a beach 24/7 but TBH I love anything that involves my DH - we always have such a fab time together whatever we do...

Hello, Sue!

Currently Samsung...

Ready-salted every time - why mess with a classic!?

A sort of dark turquoise - teal, I think it's called - looks fantastic with brown...

Good Afternoon Karen

Do you have matching luggage?

When packing, do you roll or fold your clothes?

Do you always pack too much? (i do )

Are you organised or disorganised?

Do you pack ages before your hols or last minute?

Do you always make an itinerary? (i do)

Do you ever stick to it? (i hardly ever do)

Thanx,

 

[CustardTart]

Afternoon, Audrey!

We travel with a collection of cheap, hideous, gaudy pink and purple luggage that I insisted we have so I can always spot the cases on the carousel - they don't really match but are the same brand! My DH hates them but I reckon they've got another trip or two left in 'em yet...

I do a mixture of both - I am an excellent packer, even if I do say so myself...

Yes, tho' I'm much better than I used to be.

In life overall, horribly disorganised. About holidays, beautifully organised. I've got my priorities sorted, don't you think..?

One year, I packed well in advance and that was brilliant - I worked out all my outfits before-hand and didn't overpack at all. Usually tho' it's a last-minute, night before job which starts off OK but descends into panic packing quite quickly!

We have a very loose itinerary - a few ADRs and a tour or two booked in advance but usually we just discuss our plans for the next day, the night before...

Not always as some ADRs tend to go by the wayside...

Hi Karen!

What shoe size do you wear?

Who's sexier: George Clooney, David Bowie, or Johnny Depp?

Are you a night owl or an early bird?

 

[CustardTart]

Hey there, Aisling! Nice to see you!

Shoe size is a UK 4, which I think is a US 7...

Sexiest has to be Johnny Depp and as I have met him in the flesh, I should know!!!! To cut a long story short, when I lived in Paris (cue for everyone to start yawning) he was on my bus and asked me directions. George Clooney is a looker but his commitment issues make me wonder and I know David Bowie has fixed his teeth but eeuuww!!!

I have phases - currently I'm having trouble getting up in the morning so have switched back to Night-Owling. Hopefully I'll be Early-Birding again soon...

Evening Karen

When was the last time you went to the movies and what did you see?

 

[eyoreaud]

Good Evening Karen

Do you like board games?

What's your fave?

What really ticks you off?

If you have a car, what colour/make is it?

Do you like garden gnomes?

Thanx,

 

[CustardTart]

Morning Kaylee!

I went to the cinema a couple of weeks ago to see Blades of Glory, a hysterical Will Ferrell comedy about skating! Very silly and utterly ridiculous - just the way I like 'em...

 

[CustardTart]

Good Evening Karen

Do you like board games?

What's your fave?

What really ticks you off?

If you have a car, what colour/make is it?

Do you like garden gnomes?

Thanx,

Not especially - my over-competitive in-laws ruined most board games for me...

I do enjoy a game of Cranium tho' - it's very silly...

OMG where do I start!?!! People who seem incapable of positioning their cars correctly at junctions or islands! My dogs when they drink pond water as I know later they're going to be making some very bad smells... People with smelly feet who take their shoes off in a public place - a man did just that on Eurostar the other day and YUK!!! Builders who refuse to admit that they won't be finished by Christmas even tho' you know it, they know it, you know they know it, they know you know it... I'm sure there's plenty more but, in the interests of my blood pressure, I'll leave it there...

Silver Mercedes convertible...

Mmm garden gnomes? Well, I was going to say "no" but remembered I used to have some garden sheep and I quite liked those so I guess I have to say "yes" to quirky garden ornaments in general...

Hi Karen

Sorry I have neglected you !

Do you believe in fate ?

No problem!
Yes I definitely believe in fate - my path crossed DH's several times before we finally got together...

 

[Madjock]

Hello Karen , sorry I've been so busy not neglectful! a few easy ones from me to start (and apologies if they've already been asked):

what is your favourite park and why
who is your favourite character
which character do you think you are most like
which character do you think sums up each of your children and your DH
which is your favourite Disney movie

 

[CustardTart]

who or what do you think you were in a previous life ?

Mmm, that's a good one! Possibly a matriarchal Meerkat - I'm small, bossy, maternal and very clean...

...what would you like to come back as next time ?

I'd like to come back as a future winner of America's Next Top Model...

 

[CustardTart]

are you still up for a drink in December ?

OF COURSE!!!!
