Hello everyone

I have been far too busy at work, some days I don't even get a proper lunch break and so can't log on at work then I'm too tired in the evenings to come online and see how you're all doing. Our wireless internet thing isn't working, I need to get that fixed so I can curl up on the sofa with the laptop rather than sit at the desk.

I do try to log on as much as I can, I've made some good friends on here and feel I can turn to you all about anything anytime :-) Anyway, I'm going to stop drivelling and get on with my email. I have some questions I'd like you to answer honestly so we can all get to know each other a bit better:

1. How many kids/ grandkids do you have and what are their ages?

2. What was the first thing you did when you woke up this morning?

3. What was the last thing you did last night before going to bed?

4. Describe for me your favourite photograph and why it's your favourite

5. Do you "do" internet banking and bills?

6. What magazines and newspapers do you read?

7. When was the last time you sulked and what was the reason?

8. Have you put your xmas decs up yet?

9. Your favourite thing to watch on telly at xmas time?

10. Your favourite rude joke :-)

Answers in full please, as long as you like :-)

PS - I'm going to answer on a seperate post

    1. How many kids/ grandkids do you have and what are their ages?

    3 daughters aged nearly 11, 7 and 6

    2. What was the first thing you did when you woke up this morning?

    Stretched because my ankles were sore

    3. What was the last thing you did last night before going to bed?

    Double checked the doors were locked and set the burglar alarm, then checked on the girls sleeping

    4. Describe for me your favourite photograph and why it's your favourite

    It's a photo of me, my brother and our 3 cousins, taken nearly 30 years ago. We are all standing in a row in the garden of our old house smiling at the camera and holding hands. It's on our mantlepiece and I love it because it shows a time when my life was free from worries and work and all the other stuff that get in the way. We haven't seen those cousins for years, by the way!

    5. Do you "do" internet banking and bills?

    Yes, I do it all online. Saves me queuing.

    6. What magazines and newspapers do you read?

    Woman every week and I like to read The Sun :-)

    7. When was the last time you sulked and what was the reason?

    I didn't get a job I applied for and the person who got it is an idiot.

    8. Have you put your xmas decs up yet?

    NO. Although the girls in my team at work have put them up there, to lots of protest from me.

    9. Your favourite thing to watch on telly at xmas time?

    The Royle Family. Classic stuff. And Only Fools and Horses.

    10. Your favourite rude joke :-)

    I made up this question and now I can't think of a joke!
