In my younger days i fancied working at Epcot but now it doesn't appeal to me that much - unless I was to star in a movie of course!

If you could invent a new Disney park what would the theme be?

Not sure - I think they've covered most things. Perhaps they could come up with a park made of chocolate and sweets like Willy Wonka?

General search for DLRP reviews.

No - I dropped on being up against Carol. Do I send the cheque made out to you Matt?

At least the line rental free for the months that it's been going on.

A rocket that took the men to the moon.

OMG - when I worked at Barclays - often!

What's the best excuse you've ever had for not going to work?

When I was a barmaid I had to work Saturdsay nights and my brother had suprised his girlfriend by asking her to marry him adn we were all going out. I said i'd slipped on a pile of wet leves and sprained my wrist so I couldn't pull pints. Obviosuly then if I was seen out it was ok because I wasn't actually ill!

If you had to tighten your belt at home, what luxury would go first?

Slimming world. I pay £4.50 every week to be told I'm 7lbs over weight. I can do that every morning for free when i look in the mirror!

 

[higgy66]

Why is your thread so much shorter than Carols? Is this because you are so nice, that everyone is being kind to you?

I agree with the nice bit - of course - but I think people are just being polite!

How many photo's do you usually take when you got to WDW and are they all sitting in their packets still or have you managed to put them in an album?

I have about 20 packets of film from my first trip in the 80's. It was so unusual for anybody to go to Florida I was a bit of a celebrity at work!
When I went a few years ago we only took about 3 lots and yes they're still in the packets.
On our trip to DLRP at Christmas everything is digital so they're on a disc but also as the screen saver so every time the computer goes into sleep mode a slide show starts.

 

[higgy66]

What is your earliest childhood memory?

My older brother Michael bathing me when I was about 4-5 and washing my hands and feet saying "likkle hands, likkle feet".

What are your plans for this weekend?

Nipping down to the local designer outlet for some new sports tops and then in the evening out for a Mexican with some friends - kids free - a very rare treat!

Do you have a lie in at the weekends?

Yes - every Sat and Sun as my husband gets up with the girls about 7.00 and I get up about 8.30. Bliss!

Whats the weather like where you are?

Today - dull and damp!

 

[carolfoy]

Do you think they don't like me and that's why they keep asking me questions?

do you think we'd be mates if we met?

would you ever remarry if things went wrong with your current hubby?

 

[higgy66]

Do you think they don't like me and that's why they keep asking me questions?

No the opposite but they know you well enough to ask the really interesting questions

do you think we'd be mates if we met?

Actually I do but even though I'm a "little" older than you I think you'd be the one to look after me!
I also think you'd fetch out the "naughty" side in me and I'd spend the whole night squelching around in soggy knickers and p**s in my shoes!

would you ever remarry if things went wrong with your current hubby?

No unless he died.
I'd be so devestated if we ended up divorced that I'd never "trust" another marriage working. Besides I've had my children why would I need another husband? I'd only be looking for a quick

why was the date that bad that you felt the need to leave through the toilet window

 

[higgy66]

why was the date that bad that you felt the need to leave through the toilet window

It was a double date and my friend & I climbed out of the window and got in the car and went home. Trouble is we were driving so god knows how they got home?

We bumped into them about 6 months later in a club Needless to say they didn't buy us a drink!
