Ask The Person Below You A Question: that tricky third thread...

Yes - not getting involved with random people Im not interested in. Tell my neighbours "Sorry I dont have my hearing aid in" and closing the dooror walking off. Not a lie as I dont wear one! You can be selectively short sighted, deaf and gaga at my age. Works a treat.

Have you ever had a disagreement with a neighbour?

Ive had some roasters with CF neighbours. Thats why I now avoid them when at all possible.

If I had a windfall, I would help my daughter buy a house outright.

On what occasion do you lie? (Getting out of meet ups I don’t fancy for me)

? ninathenana

I would pay for DD to have the operation she's desperate for.
Depending on the amount I would pay for a friends daughter to have the operation she needs too

If you had a windfall, how would you spend it ?

My brother left me some money in his Will…….wasn’t a lot, but the fact that he thought of me was enough to realise how special I was to him. So did my sister. I am the youngest of 9 and am the only one left ?

I am friendly with my first cousins but not the more remote ones as I seldom see them.

Have you ever been left money or property in a will?

I was left the contents of my grandmothers house in my late twenties and several thousand pounds - which was a lot of money back then. I invested it.

I know a couple of people who are rich, but not famous.

Have you got cousins that you are friendly with?

I had a best friend at school and at a past job but sadly we've lost touch. I'm a bit of a loner and don't really need people desperately ifswim.

Do you know anyone who's rich or famous?

Yes, I like cats. We've had a few, current one is all black. I like dogs too.

Do you have a "best" friend ?

I live in the suburbs of a large city so the roads are in fairly good condition.

Do you like cats?

I did not particularly like them until my nephew got a ginger kitten and I watched him grow up (the kitten not the nephew). He is a beautiful and intelligent creature who learns very quickly. Not tempted to get one myself though.

FC I do hope not! Here some minor procedures I know of seem to be going ahead-removal of a mole, colonoscopy and laser eye treatment, but I don’t know about elsewhere. Fingers crossed for you. Will you be OK for a while if it is cancelled?

They are finally resurfacing one stretch of potholes near us. How are the roads near you?

That’s tricky
It doesn’t really apply to anything in my life,
I’ve not longed for much tbh!

I’ve got a minor op on the 9th August.
Do you think that it might be cancelled / postponed?

My eyes.

What did you long for, then got whatever it was and found that it wasn't what it was cracked up to be?

My nose……wish it was smaller and sharper

What’s your best feature?

Summer (but not a heatwave). I find working out what to wear much simpler.

What do you dislike most about your appearance?

I cant think of anyone political I would vote for offhand. Maybe someone like Alan Sugar or Richard Branson. I admire self made people.

I would prefer the monarchy to continue but in an updated way with far less hangers on!

Which is your favorite season of the year and why.

Erm, a bit.
I don’t know much about it.
I’m interested in seeing what they say

Who would you like as an elected head of state?

I got moonpig beautifulselection pink and white flowetprs and roses and lots tiny white flowers.

Will you be interested to see where the first 12 billboards about monarchy are located this Monday?

How long do you find Alstromeria last when you get a bouquet delivered. They are so beautiful.

I’d like a home like the one I own, not quite in the country and not too far from a small town. I’d love to have more land so I could have a shepherd’s cot in the grounds where my family who live a long way away could stay when they come to visit.
I’d really love a balcony outside our bedroom where I could sit and gaze out over the fields to the distant sea. We actually considered that once, but life got in the way.

The answer is no because I dont like being surrounded by large crowds. The only similar things Ive been to were pop concerts back in the 1960s and everyone sat in their seats.

If you could live in any kind of home (no expense spared) what would it be?

I would like to buy an island so there were no neighbours but have my own delivery/internet service. Failing that a large detached house in the middle of no-where.

I love Just William too, especially read by Martin Jarvis

No, not at all, I find it exhilarating! Well, I used to, but I’m not so keen now as my little dog is absolutely terrified of it.

Have you ever been to Glastonbury, or anything similar?

Sorry.......

Are you frightened of thunder and lighting?

Peter Pan was my favourite for many years, and then Little Women when I was older. I also loved the Just William books.
But for many years I read and loved all Enid Blyton books and had a special bookcase to keep them in. I still have the bookcase.
