Hello! ?

By my reckoning, this thread will see us through until we are near to C********!

SachaMac’s question was ‘if you could travel back to any time or place for one day, where / when would it be’?

I’m still mulling it over…

DanniRae Tue 18-Oct-22 16:45:26

I'd go to Jersey and stay in St Helier smile

Same question, please

crazyH Tue 18-Oct-22 16:51:58

Kerala, India

I’m lazy today, so same question..

Do you have a skincare routine?

biglouis Tue 18-Oct-22 23:54:24

At my age I no longer feel obliged to bother!

Have you ever spent time in hospital (except for childbirth)?

I had a D&C in my 20s and that was it!

MrsKen33 Wed 19-Oct-22 05:09:54

Yes I had a hysterectomy when I was 35. Ten days in hospital and then a week away convalescing. ……lovely

Did you love or loathe school?

biglouis Thu 20-Oct-22 02:37:18

Except for the sport (which I hated) I loved school and was sorry to leave. I always got on with most teachers.

Did you have competing "houses" or teams in your school?

We had 4 competing houses in ours and I loved the competitions (except for the sporty ones)

FannyCornforth Thu 20-Oct-22 06:31:36

We did, but they weren’t really a ‘thing’, we only really used them at Sports Day, which I avoided like the plague.
The were named after hills in the West Midlands.
I was in Wenlock; we always came last, much to my delight.

Do you have any type of SEN or something similar?
I realised when I was doing teacher training that I definitely have dyscalculia. It explained a lot

MrsKen33 Thu 20-Oct-22 08:47:48

Yes, I have Synesthesia. Monday is blue, Tuesday yellow etc. I also have difficulty with pattern so most of my clothes are plain ish.

Anyone else ?

biglouis Thu 20-Oct-22 11:56:08

Ive done a number of tests because I suspected that I have some autistic tendencies. I like routine, tend to plan everything and HATE to be interrupted. I dislike change for the mere sake of it.

Do you have a system for organizing jobs in the house you dont really want to do?

My system is to put them off for as long as possible!

henetha Thu 20-Oct-22 12:19:17

I've tried systems but always fail to keep to them so I've given up now

Do you ever plan to go out somewhere but just don't make I. To tired or whatever. Not if you are meeting someone if course as that would be bad manners, but on your own?

henetha Thu 20-Oct-22 12:19:51

Typo...don't make IT

hollysteers Thu 20-Oct-22 13:40:41

Yes, sometimes I take too much on, morning and afternoon stuff, come home, fall asleep in a chair and can’t make the effort to go out again in the evening.

Are you a hat person?

lovebeigecardigans1955 Thu 20-Oct-22 15:39:14

I do love hats but possess only two.

Mittens or gloves?

MrsKen33 Thu 20-Oct-22 15:49:26

Nearly always just hands in pockets Though I do possess gloves.

I had a fur muff when I was about 5. I loved it and it did keep my hands warm. Anyone else have such a fashion statement?

crazyH Thu 20-Oct-22 17:27:50

No, didn’t have a fur muff- but my fashion statement is ‘leg warmers’. I still use them, under my trousers if it’s a very cold day. Do you use leg warmers or Damart underwear in Winter?

Mollygo Thu 20-Oct-22 17:31:35

I use fleece lined tights. My Nan used legwarmers when she was sitting and knitting. She said warm ankles meant a warm body.

I’ve got a fluorescent yellow waterproof for walking the dog in winter and at night. Would you wear one?

FannyCornforth Thu 20-Oct-22 17:42:05

I used to wear one when walking the kids in my watch into town.
I would not chose to walk in the darkness, so probably not
