No games for me.

Do you think it’s better to grow up in the countryside or in a city?

My current favourite is Memories, by Maroon 5.

Do you play Heardle
the daily musical intros game? Its like playing “name that tune”.

‘When you walk through a storm’. From Carousel. Nothing to do with football.

Same lovely question please

I've never bought a lottery ticket or scratchcard. My husband does both. He also does the Irish lottery, at the bookmaker's. He's won a few times but not recently. He once won £14,000, which was nice.

What's your favourite song? mine is Faint by Linkin Park

biglouis - What is a BTL and who is LL?

Yes - I bought a BTL when the LL was moving to Dubai and wanted a quick sale so I got a bargain.

Do you do any lottteries or competitions regularly? Have you ever won anything?

I do the postcode lottery (only £10 a month) but havnt won anything. I dont do competitions as I cant be bothered with them and have never been a "gambler".

I am looking forward to cooler days. Too hot to go out when it's over 30°.

Have you ever bought a house on your own?

I was married for 32 years. Then divorced.

The hot weather is set to end soon. Are you glad? I hope we get some rain. Do you welcome cooler days and possibly rainy days?

I haven't travelled alone since I was about 17 (63 now) and that was only about 150 miles, on a train. I drive alone, but never far and never on a motorway.

How long have/had you been married? Me, 42 years

Countless bras for every occasion,but pleased I have lined them up neatly in my bedroom drawers.

Do you enjoy travelling alone?

Actually, I was 22 (don't know why I put 21)

I breastfed him for 2 months

How many bras do you own? I must have about 7 but only seem to wear 3

Me too, then another six years wait for the next

Did you breastfeed?

How old were you when you had your first baby? I was 21

I've been lost quite a few times. The last time was a few days ago, when I took a wrong turn and ended up in the middle of a housing estate. It wasn't my fault, son was navigating and took his eye off his 'phone for a minute

I usually wear trousers with socks and boots or sandals in summer.

Have you ever been lost? I got very lost with a road diversion that stopped diverting and was driving down endless country lanes as it was going dark

Clean behind the oven? Ours is integrated, so it's impossible to get to - however, we had a new one last December, and I DID clean behind it then.

Do you wear tights, socks, or have bare legs? I've got bare legs

Sorry. Crossed post.

No. But I am apparently descended from the Howard family, of which Catherine Howard was a member.

Do you find it hard to clean behind the oven? It's almost impossible isn't it. I'm trying to today.

Sorry forgot the question:

Did you get on better with your mum or your dad? I loved my dad but somehow loved my mum more. (Sorry dad)

She started when I was about eleven. I remember she bought a new suit, with two skirts, pleated and pencil.

Do you have anyone famous in your family.?

My mum worked a few afternoons a week in a local wool shop. I remember slowing my journey home from school when I knew she was working. Home wasn't home without my darling mum

Blackberry and apple.

did your mum go to work when you were growing up?

I scrumped a few apples & plums. I ran into a girl from school in Woolworths one Saturday & she was helping herself to Miners nail varnishes. She tried to give me one but I was too chicken to take it.

What would be your favourite fruit pie or crumble. It’s Rhubarb for me.

I stole a few plums (my favourite fruit) from the local greengrocers. It wasn’t worth it as I was wracked with guilt and never stole anything again.

Do you enjoy travelling alone?

Frank Herberts classic SF novel "Dune" back in the 1960s. I could not put it down! It was well ahead of its time on many themes such as jihad, climate change and conservation.

Did you ever steal anything as a kid?

I stole a pair of false eyelashes from Woolworths!
