Hiya everyone....I am so nervous about this as everybody else whose done this before has such busy and interesting lives...I feel that I will be quite a let down...

Any way here goes....

My favourite tipple would have to be a bottle of Miller light

I have a hamster called Mia (it's the kids really) and a goldfish called...erm...I don't think it has a name and up until February I had a beautiful black cat called Purdy but unfortunately she had to be put to sleep as she was ill and was an old lady of 16ys

I'm not really into shoes scared1: shock, horror I know) but I have about 3 pairs I wear all the time and 10 pairs lying around in the wardrobe.

Hope I've answered my 1st set of questions OK?

Sorry I meant Miller not Miller light (getting confused with my yoghurts....do'h)

Good Evening Lesley

WHy don't you like Croc's?

What is your favourite Item of Clothes?

How did you meet your DH?

Hiya Kaylee,

Sorry somehow missed your question.....

I hope I haven't upset people by not liking crocs but I just don't find them attractive. The colours are a bit bright for me and the white ones just remind me of hospitals...sorry....my daughter likes them though...she saw some in a shop the other day and said "ooo I like those, can I have some?" To which I replied "we'll see, maybe when we get to Florida!" So maybe she might be able to persuade me to get some for me aswell as her...who knows, I'm easily persuaded!

I love to wear jeans and t-shirts and I have this fab pair of jeans that fit just right (which is unusual for me as I am quite short!)

I met Martyn my DH when we were both in amateur dramatics. We were doing 'It's a lovely war' and I was playing a dead person (no talent then and no talent now!!) and he had to carry me on as he'd supposedly killed me, (don't ask!). From then on we were just friends in a big group of friends that use to go around together and it just developed from there.

Hi Sue,

Yes thanks I'm enjoying being quizzed, I think

Nothing very adventurous really but you can't beat fish 'n' chips

I don't really buy magazines regularly, unless you can count 'Professional Child Care' but that's for my job. I sometimes buy things like Best or Bella, something like that and my friend passes on OK and Now mags

I know this is odd but I don't buy a newspaper. DH sometimes gets the Daily Mail and the Sunday Mail and I read those and also the local weekly paper 'The Wakefield Express' but to be honest it's always full of doom ans gloom

Yes I do drive and the car I have at the moment is for my job as a childminder so it has to be big. It's a Toyota Picnic (7 seater) to pack all those little monkeys in

Laur's

The singer I have loved for a long time is Robbie Williams but I thought his last album was rubbish. It really depends on who I am listening to at the time...I'm into My Chemical Romance at the mo.

I haven't been to that many but the one that sticks out from when I was a teenager was a Motorhead gig they once did in Leeds.....I was deaf for a week after....but it was wicked.......and also a couple of years ago we saw Madness at Alton Towers and they were brilliant

Fat Bottom Girls by Queen although I posed this question to my family and my youngest DS (7) said "I think it's that 'Pretty Woman' song......awww bless

I would have loved to see Queen

I love all musicals (have been in a few in my time) but one of my favs is Oliver.

Hello Annmarie,

Shop assistant in Superdrug & Matalan, clerical assistant for BT, a playworker for a day nursery and my current job as a childminder.

Definately being a childminder as I am my own boss, work the hours I choose in my own home and play all day...who could ask for more?

Doya know, my 14yr old is not like ordinary boys of his age he just likes to be on his computer or x-box. The trouble is because of the school he goes to all his friends live miles away so if he goes to one of them he is always picked up by me or DH, around 9 o'clockish.

I do the DIS boards of course and sometimes I read or watch telly

Hello again...

I have more than 5 but the top five would probably be:
1. Cling Film on a roll because once I lose the end I'm snookered and I get really cross If they could invent some other way of having it rather than a roll I would be pleased.
2. Dog owners that DON'T clean up their dogs doodoo....I have nothing against dogs, my Mum had a beautiful spaniel but she use to carry a pooper-scooper and nappy sacs around with her....the amount of times I've had to clean it off my kids shoes
3. Argos. I hate that you have to queue twice why..what a daft idea.
4. 5 day working weeks...why can't we work Sat & Sun and have the rest off
5. Guns....big issue at the moment I know but I hate them.

I'd like to slap most celebs but the 3 I have chosen are Tracy Emin, sorry but I really don't like her work, Jeremy Paxman because he's arrogant and John McCririck same reason

I'd love to meet Gary Oldman as I'm a big fan of his and his films, he's such a great actor, Robbie Williams (for reasons we won't go into and the girls from 'Loose Women' they seem a riot

Robbie of course

Les Patterson...yuk

Hi Andrea,

Thats a toughy...but I think I would invite Gary Rhodes (cos he can cook and I can't), Peter Kay, Ant & Dec, Gary Oldman, Robbie, Freddie Mercury and Ronnie Barker because these are some of the people I admire most

It would be simple fare like minestrone soup, roast beef & Yorkshire puds, black forest gateaux and coffee 'n' mints

I'm open to discussion on any topics that might come up (although if I'm sat next to Robbie I might not be listening )

 

[Floridadreamlel]

Hi Andrea,

I'd love to be a cat....you get to laze around all day, go out if you want and get fed twice a day...great

SpongeBob Squarepants...does that count?

I'm brilliant at DIY.....I've put together loads of Ikea flatpacks with a little help from DH

Not many really, I couldn't wait to leave school. I left at 16yrs and went to art college but dropped out.
I have 3 'o' levels in Art, Maths and English. 26 yrs later I now have a certificate in First aid, health & Hygiene and introduction in childminding practice. In September, though, I am going to do my NVQ 3.
