Oh Geez , thanks LoughC , may try to live up to that wonderful introduction now !
(Thanks for having me btw!)
Fav choc bar , good old plain Cadburys Dairymilk , simple pleasure , although Lindt Lindor dairymilk is a close second .
First Single , definitely going to show my age here , it was OMD Joan of Arc . Loved their music , a bit "out there" back in those days
Bank Holiday , don't really have a favorite one if I'm honest . All BH's should be a day for taking it easy and just enjoying , no matter how you spend it imo .
Phew , ok , survived that

I have clothes bought for the grandchildren , books , and a few other bits and bobs but that's about it . Am moving house in three weeks so the Christmas Decorations are all packed and ready to go 0 -

What did you want to be when you grew up as a child, and how close to achieving it did you get?
Favourite book?
Favourite TV show?
Favourite cake?
Tbh DvB , I didn't have many aspirations growing up , it was really leave school go to work . Then I worked in childcare for a few years , left that to become a family carer , which I think was my hidden calling if I'm honest
Favourite book has to be Sebastian Faulks - Birdsong . Worth looking up if anyone likes books !
Favourite cake , Lemon Drizzle , it has to be a nice moist one , my idea of the perfect treat !0 -
Four people to invite to dinner?
Favourite place to visit/holiday?
This is a tough one .
Robin Williams , always admired him but the sadness was always visible in his eyes , and would love to just chat without him having to have felt the need to perform .
Andrea Bocelli , so he could sing for his supper
Ant and Dec , love they way they just bounce off each other .
Haven't gone on many holidays , so favorite place to go would be anywhere by the sea . Nothing better than just sitting watching waves crashing against the rocks , the smell of the salt in the air , good for the soul
Sorry for the long , rambling answers 0 -

I hear you about the sea, having grown up beside it, it was only when I moved away for a few years I realised how much I missed it. Back living beside it now and love it, especially stormy days.0 -

Favourite Christmas memory?
If you had to give one bit of advice, what would it be?
Favorite memory has to be my brothers coming into my room Christmas morning , one holding a candle and whispering "let's sneak out see if Santy has gone !"
Our parents weren't too impressed , it was around 5.30 , still dark
Advice , I'm useless at giving advice tbh , just don't worry about stuff , it all works out in the end , worrying doesn't change the outcome of anything .0 -
Favourite movie?
Favourite month?
Are you a wolf?:D
Oh and good luck with the house m move!
A Night To Remember , the original Titanic film , not a Christmas movie by any means !
Favorite month , April , when everything seems to get a new lease of life , days get brighter , always find it an uplifting month
Lol , am definitely a wolf in sheeps clothing Kitten
And thank you !0 -

Scariest thing to ever happy to you?
Favourite holiday other than Christmas?
Scariest thing was when oldest son (as a baby) , took ill one day and was rushed to Crumlin Children's Hospital , and no one knew what was wrong with him . Ventilated , surgeries , a few weeks there , that awful , horrific feeling will never leave me . Puts things into perspective tbh . (All turned out well for him though )
Easter , looking forward to brighter days ahead , flowers coming into bloom , a new lease of life ahead
Geez , ye're really making me think hard with these questions , love it 0 -

My biggest nightmare. Been to Temple Street a couple of time and if I never see the place again I'll be happy.
You can get your own back when it's my go 0 -

It's horrible isn't it ? I think it's because things are out of our control and we can't "fix" it or make it right for our child ourselves , if that makes sense ?
I hope ye don't have to go back to Temple Street 0 -

The worst, the totally feeling of being helpless when all you want to do is something/anything to help.0 -

As much as I never want to set foot in Temple Street hospital ever again I have to say the staff are magnificent, even when its clear they are under huge strain they are still so good with the patients. Have been there through the night with both pf ours and they always made it as pleasant and as friendly as possible, they earn every cent they're paid & deserve three or four times as much for the good work they do.
Anyway, back to questions.... favourite perfume/aftershave?
Fruit scone or danish pastry?
100% agree with you , they all so dedicated , and go over and above to make both parents and children , at ease .
Favorite perfume is CK One , clean and simple .
Don't like either fruit scones or danish pastries !
A plain scone with butter and jam for me 0 -

Hi Mum of Four !
Here my questions:
-What do you consider your most underrated virtue?
-Which words or phrases do you most overuse?
-Which talent would you most like to have?
Thanks !!!
Oh good lordie , I had to google virtues
Diligence I think . If I'm doing something , I will do it to the best of my capabilities , and give it everything I have , but on the flip side , I can be lazy at times too until I have to be diligent . Very roundabout answer , sorry !
It will be grand . I say that all the time , and Don't worry about it , need to find a new one I think
I would love to be able to play a musical instrument . Rest of the family are very talented , but the gene somehow missed me
Tough questions , thank you !0 -

Ah Mam of 4
Are you excited about Christmas in your new home?*
Do you have a favorite Christmas book or story?
Slate or Wizard?
*Wishing you peace!
Aw , thank you Eleysian
Am excited and thankful and yet it will be quite a nostalgic Christmas there too tbh .
Twas The Night Before Christmas , I know technically it's a poem , but I used to love reading it to the kids when they were small , captured the spirit of Christmas for them !
Wizard !!
Just upbeat and makes me smile , plus it has a Snowman in the lyrics !0 -

Hi Mam Delighted to see you over here
I’m gonna ask a few questions
When do you put up your Christmas decorations?
What time would you have Christmas dinner at?
What are you asking Santa for this year?
Auto , thank you , and you too !
I love Snowman figues/ornaments , so once December starts , a few of them get placed around the place , along with Santa's and lights . Don't usually put everything up in one go tbh , last year it was the second week in December ..
Dinner at two this year , I think , haven't decided yet
What to ask for , I need to start reading again , so a good book !0 -

What would be your ideal Christmas tree - real or fake, what type of lights, how would you decorate it etc?
Does your family have any of their own Christmas traditions?
Roses, Quality Street or Celebrations?
I love a real tree , love the smell of it , love how they look . I also love tinsel (:D) , and coloured lights , thinking about it now I kind of decorate the tree to look like what we had growing up
Own traditions , we do the childrens present giving on Christmas Eve , we all get together in my house , as might not see everyone on Christmas Day tbh .
Give me a box of Scots Clan over the three tubs of sweets mentioned anyday !0
