New Lockdown Special Edition: Ask the Person Below You a Question!

I like bright colours, so almost every garment is blue or red, or my favourite pink. I never wear green due to an unfortunate accident when I was young.

Did you plant a lot of new spring bulbs last autumn? Are they coming up and what are your favourite spring flowers?

It's quite coordinated as I only wear certain colours. So it's like a base pallette of navy, wine, dark green, burnt orange. I suppose I dress according to 'my season' (Autumn) before I knew it was a 'thing'.

Which colours suit you / which colours do you like to wear?

I’d love to stop being a procrastinator, and implement things straight away.

Do you have a co-ordinated wardrobe, or just buy whatever clothes you like regardless of them mixing and matching with what you have?

No they dont annoy me but I would draw the line at a cuckoo clock!

If you could, what would you like to change about yourself?

About a week, less if it’s a box of Maltesers.

Do you like ticking clocks in the house or do they annoy you?

Several favourite mugs and l love Twinings Swiss Chocolate in my curvy mug, red in the outside, cream inside.

How long can you make a box of chocolates last-if you like chocolate that is?

Not really wear out, but I quite often chuck them if the suede upper looks a bit worse for wear. I've probably got far too many shoes - well, boots and trainers, don't really wear shoes.
