Know More About Your Elves - #7 Chuckles30

Howdy Chuckles30,

Do you enjoy cooking?

What was the last song you sung along to?

What brought you to Boards?

Thanks!

Two week holiday, 10k euro budget, where is it?

What did you want to be as a kid when you grew up? & how close to achieving that did you get?

Favourite cake?

Favourite alcoholic beverage?

First off - sorry for being late to reply - another crazy week at work, so just popped on now to cheer myself up - so I'll work through a few now

-Who is your favourite author? I'd find it hard to choose just one so I'll go with my top 3 (and as they say on the reality tv shows) - in no particular order - Sheila O'Flanagan, Patricia Scanlan & Cathy Kelly

-What is your favourite book? As you can probably tell from my favourite authors list above, I'm an easy reading kinda lady. One that springs to mind is Christmas with You by Sheila O'Flanagan - transports me right to my favourite time of year.

-Favourite chocolate bar? - Don't really eat bars of chocolate - mainly because I will eat the whole bar in one go - so normally just have one or two chocolates to satisfy my craving and move on. Favourite bar would be a Frys Cream Chocolate though.

Do you enjoy cooking? - Yes

What was the last song you sung along to? - Hey there Delilah by the plain white t's on the car radio yesterday morning

What brought you to Boards? - Initially I think it was the DIY forum when I first bought my house and knew diddly squat about DIY

Do you enjoy Christmas Eve or is it a hectic day ?

Favorite treat / time out for yourself ?

I'm back - been an absolutely crazy week - so I'm here for 15 mins of sanity/Christmas Cheer.

Hi Chuckles30 !
Here my questions:

-Which living person do you most admire?

-What is your greatest extravagance?

-Who is your hero of fiction?

1 - Vicky Phelan - her courage in taking on the govt and going public while fighting her own illness

2 - I don't really do extravagance - but probably my sliderobes

3 - It's mostly rom coms and chick lit with me - so not much into hero type stuff

Hey Chuckles

Will throw out my usual ones (have to come up with some new questions!)

What 4 people (dead or alive) would you invite to dinner and why?

Favourite place you've been on holiday?

1 - My dad (R.I.P.), My mam, my brother and sister in law - family is far more important than fame

2 - Montenegro - went with a friend the weekend after 9/11. We were both young, free and single - I was on two weeks hols from work with no plans. Becuase of 9/11 and the associated day of mourning etc and no one wanting to travel, we booked it on the Thursday and flew out Sat morning. We didn't really know where we were going or anything - my friend was working in a travel agency and she spotted a bargain basement deal coming in and we jumped on in. Would love to go back actually.

Have you/would you ever spend Christmas abroad?

I haven't ever spent it abroad. I don't think I would have any interest in going somewhere sunny for it - I think it wouldn't feel right. Maybe if I could find somewhere like they have in the Christmas Movies where I could go to a cosy log cabin all decorated for Christmas, then that might be it for me.

Who would you get to play your part in a film of your life?

Favourite time of year, other than Christmas?

Last concert you went to?

Favourite Christmas tradition?

Favourite memory?

Tea or Coffee person?

And going with that, are you a rich tea or digestive sort of gal?
