    Least favourite day of the year?

    Whatever the first day back to work is after Christmas holidays. Work is mental busy and there’s too long until a bank holiday.

    Go to cheat meal?

    I guess I have to say the wife, don't I :D

    Depends on what you definition of 'soulmate', do I think that two people can be very compatible and live closely together for years in relative harmony, then yes I do believe.

    Do you believe in love at first sight??

    I believe in an attraction at first sight, I think love comes later and is much deeper, sometimes it's a connection a shared joke or a common interest that binds love, IMO.

    I absolutely LOVE singing along to things at top volume, even if I don't know all the words. I work from home and sometimes I'll put on a playlist of 80s power ballads and bellow along to them :D

    If you had to compete in an Olympic sport for some reason, which one would you go for? (Summer or winter Olympics)

    What is the order of your Christmas sustenance? As in do you have a pre breakfast selection box or chocolate coins (which is completely normal by the way)

    Not sure if you mean Christmas Day or in general over Christmas!

    I'm going to go with Christmas Day..........breakfast is usually something quick as between kids opening presents and getting ready for church (10am) not much time, last year was pancakes with jam. When we get back, some of the guest come with us so will start on the snacks, peanuts, pringles etc. with some craft beers.

    Lunch starter are usually brown bread with salmon & melon with Parma ham, break then for a bit to open presents. Main course is traditional, turkey and all the extras. Another break to open more presents, desert is again traditional, mince pies, Christmas pudding, ice cream, whipped cream & pouring cream!

    As we mightn't have desert till say 6pm, it usually just crackers and cheese then around 9pm and more mice pies, turkey sandwich is anyone really hungry. Chocolate's from then on.

    Beverages is wine through out the day after the beers and then some Baileys and ice in the evening.

    If Christmas could be any other time of the year, which would you choose and why?

    Summer! I always think it's a shame for the kids who get bikes and outdoor toys off Santy to not be able to get out and properly enjoy them! Would also be nice to sit outdoors and enjoy our after-dinner drinks al fresco :)

    Can see the appeal alright. Had one Christmas when I was much younger in Australia, BBQ for Christmas Day, drinking outside in shorts etc. Was very different obviously.

    ps..cough.....no question....cough
