Ask the Person Below You a Question: Thread Four! Countdown to C********! ?

I dont really use milk as such as I buy the coffe sachets from Tesco. Probably skimmed if I did.

Have you ever looked after an exotic pet like a snake for someone?

Ive looked after a snake, lizards, terrapins and tortoises.

I looked after stick insects from school in the long summer break.

Have you tried sleeping on a silk pillow?

No. My winter pillow cases are flannelette.

Do you wear extra undies in winter? Vests or whatever?

Yes thermal vest and tights if it is very cold.

What is your favourite genre of books? . I like detective novels

Semi skimmed.

Do you have an open fire or log burner?

Apologies! I've gone a bit awry. Story of my day.

I like detective novels too.

Do you have an open fire or log burner?

No, I'm not keen on them although they look nice.

Have you any musical ability?

Probably but never tested. I can sing.

Do you like cooking?

I used to, but live alone now and make do as it were, unless I have visitors when it seems a huge faff.

Do you think Meghan DOS is a good speaker!

I have no idea who she is!

Are you into wearing layers or do you keep the house warm?

I am arthritic so I have to keep warm. I would rather economise on something else than heating.

I do wear layers. Thermal vest when very cold.

Are you happy on your own or do you crave company?

It was hard at first (H left me for someone else). I was not short of company because my friends rallied round and I still had my youngest at home. Nights were awful.
But strangely enough, after all these years, I do enjoy my own company. Today I have enforced solitude, due to the fact, I’m not feeling too good after my Covid jab yesterday. And it’s bliss ?

I am quite happy on my own too.

Do you feel old some days?

Yes, I feel old when I hear the dreadful racket that is modern music and my hip creaks.

Did you ever forge a parent's signature in your homework book at school? We did - and got away with it.

No, never.

If you drive, what is your favourite out if the cars you have owned?
Citroen 2CV

A Porsche-unfortunately I didn’t own it, just won a day in it in a competition. My favourite owned car was a Nova.
Now I love cars that are high enough to get in and out of.

Have you ever needed/tried to get a roofer in bad weather?

No! DH was a builder, he would be up in anyone’s roof at the drop of a hat. It used to worry me sick.

What is your spirit animal?

On the roof, not in it

I've never really given any thought to having a spirit animal.
But it would have to be a bird I think. A sea eagle maybe.

Do you know how to turn the water off in your house?
It's quite a good idea to know this, as I discovered one day.

I do now. After my kitchen flooded in my new house and I had to get a neighbour to help I made certain I know where it is now.

Do you find out of control dogs annoying? I was almost knocked over by one this morning when he ran up behind me and jumped up. Owner's fault not the dog's.

Dreadful - people shouldn't have them if they can't control them. They should also accept that not everyone is a dog lover!!!

How many pairs of earrings do you have? (I have about 150)

Just a few pairs less than you Grandmattie, but I usually just stick to my favourite ones.

Are you comfortable mixing with unvaccinated friends? re Covid

No. My friend used to be my hairdresser too, now I am going to go elsewhere as she is refusing to be vaccinated

My hair is far too long - see above - and I am getting it cut tomorrow. I am really looking forward to getting it done


Are you looking forward to anything?

I am looking forward to seeing my little grandson soon.

Do you have little accidents like the one I had today when a viscous twig jumped up and hit my leg. Big twig like bruise there now.

Picking up the small timer in the kitchen. It flew out of my hand and jumped into a freshly made cup of tea which splashed everywhere - all over the worktop, down the drawer fronts and up the wall. I dismantled it and there was even tea inside and so it was done for. I got a nicer replacement in the shape of an apple.

Same question as I can't be the only clumsy twit on here.
