    Hi Joan

    Where are your answers to these questions? :-)

    1. What makes you happy?

    Doing a job to the best of my ability and enjoying the end results.

    2. What makes you sad?

    Seeing poor children who don't have the advantages we have.

    3. What makes you laugh?

    My husband - he never fails to make me smile no matter what kind of day I've had.

    4. What makes you proud?

    Watching my daughters interact with others, they are well-rounded, polite, intelligent children.

    5. What makes you scared?

    Thinking of my daughters' futures, what they'll come across when they're adults and knowing that I won't always be there to put things right for them.

    6. What makes you embarrassed?

    The fact that I still can't ride a bike - have been trying to do this for ages and WILL crack it this summer!

    7. What makes you angry?

    Rude people who haven't got the manners they were born with.

    8. What makes you enthusiastic?

    The promise of a night out/ in with my girlfriends putting the world to rights.

    9. What makes you bored?

    Anything repetitive - I get bored quite easy and have a low attention span.

    10. What makes you amazed?

    Reading about the Sikh Gurus and all they did for Sikhs all over the world, the heritage they gave us.

    Over to you, Joan and everyone else!

    1. What makes you happy?
    lots of things - but the best has to be my little boy (oh and my husband)

    2. What makes you sad?
    Being unable to cuddle my son when poorly
    How rubbish and selfish my family can be with regards to their 1st grandson/ niece/ nephew
    Having lost so many family and friends over the years – really sad that none of my grandparents or aunts and uncles got to meet my son

    3. What makes you laugh?
    Bad jokes, my son being silly ( and sometimes when he’s naughty) & the tickle monster

    4. What makes you proud?
    My job and my achievements – I was told that I should give up on being an architect when I was diagnosed 12 years ago and I persevered through 3 really hard degrees and I’m now the youngest associate director that I know, I’m also really proud that I funded this all myself, and bought my 1st house at 19 without any help, working hard and saving for the deposit (in case you couldn’t guess I’m fiercely independent)

    5. What makes you scared?
    Not being able to protect my son 100% all of the time (I’m usually quite relaxed but occasionally it hits me)
    Cockroaches & my boss’s driving

    6. What makes you embarrassed?
    1st thought is my mother!!! But that’s probably a bit harsh and not so much the case now I’m an adult....public speaking is more of an issue nowadays
    Not knowing stuff I should do, not being able to do stuff I should be able to do

    7. What makes you angry?
    People not taking responsibility for their actions/ passing the buck and being generally lazy when other people are busting a gut
    People being idiotic (especially when driving)
    Also my family – see 2

    8. What makes you enthusiastic?
    That there are so many talented people out there and so many interesting things in life
    Other enthusiastic people...its infectious !

    9. What makes you bored?
    My current client (arghhhh), planning applications, housework, In the Night Garden, socialising with medics (my hubby’s a Dr)
    Listening to my mother (it also makes me very confused)

    10. What makes you amazed?
    How little self preservation and how much energy & my toddler has when getting up to mischief
    How stupid people can be
    How beautiful life & the world can be sometimes
