scouts/kids)

Living arrangements - chaotic! Specifically, Me, him (12th anniversary

last Easter Sunday), them (3 kids) and 2 cats

Favourite TV - Horizon, Equinox, Whose line is it anyway?, Frasier, Cold

Feet, The Doubledeckers, The Clangers, Ivor the Engine... (yes, OK, and

Neighbours too...)

What's on your mouse pad? - Whatever himself got given at the last

conference he went to...

Favourite magazine? - Trying desperately to remember when I last read

one....?????!!!! (Excluding New Gen and Scouting Magazine, as that's

" work " not leisure!!!)

Favourite smells? - new babies, Avon's Rare Gold bath range,

frankincense, fresh-laundered bed sheets, fruit cake.

Worst feeling in the world? - seeing my the " bend " in my son's arm when

the plaster cast first came off.

Best feeling in the world? - hearing my (normally unflappable) Mum drop

the phone with a squeal when I phone to give her my degree results.

Waking up in a hospital bed at 5am when everyone else was still asleep,

with my newborn firstborn snuggled up in my arms (still going goo-ey

nearly 8 years later!)

What is the first thing you think of in the morning? - don't think, just

run on auto-pilot - wake up when I get back from school and have 2nd cup

of tea of the morning. (Shame hibernation is no longer physiologically

feasible for human beings....)

Do you get motion sickness? - never

Roller coasters - cool or scary? - roller what???? Which way to the

candy floss stand...?!

Pen or pencil? - Whatever I can find that is still capable of writing

with (have been known to take phone messages with an eye pencil!

Favourite food? - you mean I have to CHOOSE!!!!! Baked potato, cous-cous

with roast vegetables, peperkoek (Belgian spice cake), Mars bars, smoked

mackerel pate, anything Indian, Spring rolls, aagh, this list is getting

too long - anything except corned beef really...

Chocolate or Vanilla? - Neopolitan - that way I don't have to choose and

I get strawberry as well!!!!!

Storms - love 'em, but prefer to be indoors! Favourite one was when I

was living in Lausanne, huge storm flew across Lake Geneva, big black

shadow, bending trees flat in the wind as it roared across, then after

it had gone and all was quiet, just uncanny calm, eerie brightness and

dripping wet trees... wonderful!

First car - Green morris minor called Millie, borrowed from my Dad.

First own car was a yellow Talbot Samba, cheap but effective!

Is the glass half empty or half full? - depends how much is left in the

bottle!!!! (If it was a cup of tea I made earlier, it's probably

completely full and stone cold, but I'll microwave it when I get the

chance!)

Favourite snack? - FOOOOOOOOODDDDDD!

Lefty, righty or ambidextrous - Right.

Do you type with your fingers on the right keys? - Yes - did a short

course at Newbury College after finishing my O-levels (designed to keep

us off the streets!) Came in handy working for a boss who was always

hogging our shared secretary's time - the only way to get your work done

was to type it yourself.

What's under your bed? - not too sure, maybe I should pluck up the

courage to have a look...?????

Tee hee

Let Rob read my " getting to know you " answers. They were generally

complimentary about him, and praised his mother's cooking.

Yesterday evening, I came down from putting Caitlin to bed (a long process),

to find the house immaculately tidy, lights down low, candles lit and a

glass of wine waiting for me. This morning when bounded in at 5

to 7, and Caitlin was squawking as usual, he suggested I stay in bed and

he'd take them downstairs. He didn't come and get me until 10am!!! 3 hours

of uninterrupted sleep - wonderful! He's also suggested a takeway tonight

" so that I don't have to cook " .

The cynical " glass half empty " part of me is saying " what's he after? " .....

I'd be very interested to know if there is anything that can be taken whilst

pregnant. I am hoping that once we are (eventually) living in Florida, we will

perhaps one day have a successful pregnancy and I get terribly airsick if I

don't take my Stugeron. Is there anything anyone knows of that is safe and

effective to take (bar the tape that Sam has mentioned - I have details of

that, thanks Sam!) whilst pregnant otherwise I can see me not wanting to visit

home, if and when I am pregnant.

I don't think it would wash - although the taxi drive was " interesting " as

Anne & Shirley can testify - let's say I don't think it helped but I can't

claim it was the whole problem.

>> Favourite T.V. show? - don't watch anything regularly, catch Eastenders

every now & then, the odd documemntary, but did make a point of trying to

watch Cold Feet ( wouldn't have remembered unless so many people mentioned

it ) and This Life first time round

>> Favourite foods? - Thai, milk chocolate, although all this may change as

Anyone got a good recipe for Tofu?!
