Advantages: You can forget about this review once your done.

Disadvantages: You will be singing Frank Sinatra all day!

With nothing better to do, I thought I’d have a shot at the Q and A review of my daily life. So feet up, relax and start scrolling down.



*****1. How long, on average, does it take you to get rid of someone trying to sell you something over the phone?******

We have barred most so don’t tend to get many but there is always the odd one that plucks your number out of thin air. I just politely say No. Most get it but occasionally you have to keep repeating yourself until they understand what No really means.

******2. What is the most expensive object you have ever broken on purpose? ('when angry' counts as 'on purpose' even if you regretted it soon afterwards)*****

I don’t recall ever breaking anything on purpose, but I guess the closest would be removing a telephone extension that we had just had fitted at our expense before being kicked out by a psychotic landlord….Well why should he benefit?

******3. If you buy something for 99p with a £1 coin, do you really want the 1p back? ******

I would, but no idea why. I guess if you assume you get a penny change most days then it could be over £3.50 you are chucking away each year. I actually like the idea I saw up in Yorkshire where they have a bowl full of pennies. You can chuck your old change in, but if you are a penny or two short then you can also help yourself. I found it so annoying when I am that penny short and rather than let you off the vendor expects me to break into a £10 note.

******4. What was the last thing you shouted while alone in a car? ******

Although I was alone it was actually to hubby who was nearby, so I was shouting for him to hear rather than in anger. We have recently bought a new car and I was attempting to turn it around in the road. I couldn’t get it into reverse as it’s one of those lift and move types and I just didn’t have the strength to lift it with one hand, or even two. So I was shouting at hubby to help me since I was stuck in the middle of the road. Fortunately a particularly quiet one.


******5. What is your typical path through a supermarket? ******

Up and down most aisles. That way If I have forgotten anything I should spot it. But some aisles I can just pass as I am sure I don’t need any chocolates or biscuits most weeks!


******6. Do you lick the underside of the foil top when eating a pot of yoghurt? ******

Oh definitely, or scrape it off if in public.


******7. How many greetings cards have you sent in the last 12 months?******

None as far as I know as I give all cards personally.

******8. A criminal maniac invites you to "Pick a city for destruction, Mr. Bond." Which one do you choose? ******

Since all are occupied I couldn’t since it would mean blowing up innocent people. I guess a fictional one such as where the Simpsons live would be Ok though.

******9. Which font do you use most often?******

Comic sans. I love the curly shape but the reason mostly is because I am normally doing bits for children/school and it is one of the few fonts that does the proper a and not the fancy one in this text.

******10. If you had the choice between a petrol chainsaw and a bread knife, which would you use for felling a small tree with a 1" diameter trunk? ******

If it’s only 1” then chances are I can just pull it up with my bare hands.

******11. On a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you that you know when to use a semicolon?******

I have; no idea when; is the best; time ; to use a semi colon;. But I think it is when you sort of finish a sentence but not quite, but need a break in what is being written.

******12. What proportion of the CDs you own are in their original cases right now?******

Most of them are, although a little battered thanks to the kids.

******13. Favourite colour black or white?******

I would go with white, but can I add a touch of purple?

******14. How accurate is the time on your watch?******

I believe it is quite accurate but since I do not have it on yet I cannot check.

******15. What you wearing right now?******

Blue ¾ length PJs with blue vest top and a short pink dressing gown….fetching isn’t it!

******16. Have you ever written to, emailed or telephoned a newspaper, radio station, TV programme etc? If so, what did you say?******

I email the radio a few times to enter their comps, never win though! I also emailed BB when Emily was chucked out as I wanted my say on their boards and unsurprisingly it was playing up and you could not post.

******17. Do you, in the most fundamental depths of your soul, give a crap about the extinction of the Red Cockaded Woodpecker?******

The what? I guess it is sad, but I am sure life will go on, for the rest of us anyway.


******18. What is the cheapest thing you've bought with a debit or credit card in the past month?******

I bought a top for my daughter in Woolworths for £2. I had no change so had no other option.

*****19. Favourite books?******

I like Meg Hutchinson, but am currently reading Hotel Babylon by Imogen Edward Jones and Anonymous.

******20. What is your most favourite meal?******

Nothing in particular but anything Italian or with cheese in. I did live on nothing but macaroni cheese for a few weeks, but I was pregnant with twins at the time, so I guess that would be a good contender.



and now I pass it over to Frank Sinantra.........


And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!



Yes, it was my way

Summary: A few mad and random questions posed by someone, sometime, somewhere.
