ReplyDeleteI hate Asparagus too much overrated
I've had mine all prepared except Quote from the movie for ages now put it on my blog.
I meant to ask what is you given name? Jemima? (ducks before getting something thrown at me) :D
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this - I might even do one myself! Did you feel cheated over lack of a = button!
ReplyDeleteThere are some interesting little nuggets in there! I applaud anyone who has their children at home - wow! Now I think I might have to go and measure myself to see if the shrinkage has started..
ReplyDeleteI'm intriged to know what you given name is too!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying seeing this list popping up everywhere :) I'm sharing mine tomorrow! Great to get to know you better xx
ReplyDeletegreat to read your list! I had DD in a midwife led unit (in and out in about 12 hours) and DS was born at home. I think I am guilty of your pet peeve and I apologise now!!! I am addicted to apostrophes!!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteThe 'frozen Christmas pud' caught my attention...and I'm curious about your given name too!
ReplyDeleteAlison xx
I think learning people's mother's names is one of my favorite parts of this list! And I want to ocme eat ribs and nansi goreg with you!

Scientific calculators are fun - I love anything that makes my life easier.
ReplyDeleteI *intended* to have both of mine at home but instead.... hmm that might be a Sunday story ;)
Asparagus is lovely and I'll happily eat yours and give you the nansi goreg (although you'll have to fight Wookie) but he'll leave the ribs to us.
I really like these - such a lovely way to let us get to know you more. :). Is the zoo animal a love or a hate?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving reading these lists and finding out all sorts of little facts about people. I shared mine earlier in the week.
ReplyDeletethese lists are interesting! but hating asparagus wouldn't go down well round here - it's a yearly highlight and obsession!
