I have not had a cigarette since 1990.

1980 for me. And there are still times when I could really fancy one. Though I’d probably have to get over an almighty coughing fit first. grin Do they still sell Sobranie Black Russian I wonder?

I once smoked a Black Russian in the back of my friend's dad's car. He asked if someone was smoking a cigar?
Haven't smoked since 1974! Thank goodness I gave up or I'd be completely penniless by now!

I haven't bought a dress for over 10 years. I make almost all of my clothes and keep a spreadsheet of all my makes. I've just counted up and since 2015 I've sewn 61 dresses for myself! I still have most of them as I'm still the same size - no wonder the wardrobes are full to bursting. I'm not even going to count all the tops and trousers I've also made. I do love to be creative.

I used to make all my dresses when I was young but the last one I made for myself was my wedding dress in 1984. I rarely wear a dress nowadays and the last one I bought was for my son's wedding 8 years ago. I live in trousers!
I recently made a dress for my granddaughter's toy rabbit which I also made for her. My sewing projects these days are much smaller size!

The only ironing I do is my work uniforms but other that that I refuse to iron anything - it bores me into a coma! I live in leggin's, t-shirts and sleeveless jackets so no real ironing is needed!

I've not done any housework, other than basic, since I was 18 and rented my first flat, where I immediately hired a cleaner, 42 years later I still have a cleaner coming in twice weekly! My current one, who has been with me since 2020, Tony is brilliant and he keeps my place immaculate! And when it's his time off he sends in his husband, Martin until he comes back! Both of them are the best cleaners I've ever had!

I've not had a bath since...forever as I hate them but love showers so wherever I move to or book B&B's/hotel it HAS to have a shower unit of some sort!

I've never ever worn heels, only flats, partly as I think they're hideous looking things and I can't understand why so many women - and men! - wear them, and partly as I'm 6'2 so what would I need heels for?!

I haven't smoked for nearly 6 years and it's saved me a fortune. Also since the lockdown, I've only been in a local pub once at night for a drink.
