Name a product you buy mostly because it has a cool package. I like to buy nice food. Not own brand... I'm attracted by Big Companies who know what they are doing.
What flavor cake do you like for your birthday? I'm not fussed about cake - But if you are going to buy me cake, it would be Lemon Drizzle cake.
Have you ever been in love with someone much older or younger than you? Pft no. I love only one. My husband - who rather amazingly, I met on this very day, 29 years ago.
Have you ever had a job you loved? I quite love my job right now. It's a nice mix of things I know, things I'm always learning. I have a very clever boss who I've learnt loads of, I have another boss who is so chilled that he is a good reflection on me. There are a small number of us - I've been there since there were 8. Now there are 31.
Have you ever been in a building that was on fire? Nope! O Oh oh oh Yes, yes, I have. Our very own building when we lived in Edinburgh, there were neds who prowled outside and drunk meths and sniffed glue - they dragged a sofa into the close (a communal stair) and set fire to it. We all sat in the flat and said "what have I burnt?" Then we opened the front door and all the smoke came in. I ran back in to call the fire brigade and Si and Boris ran downstairs with buckets and kettles. By the time 4 fire engines, two police cars and an ambulance arrived, the fire was out. But we had locked ourselves out the flat so the kindly fire men climbed in the window and opened the door for us. This is the building - after we moved out - and it was "refurbished".
Are you in an argument with anyone right now? Yes.
Would you change your hair color to something outrageous if you would get paid to? I change my hair colour every weekend. Last weekend it was "golden". My friend thought I had done it for "summer". Hmm, So this weekend I am brown.
Have you ever written a poem for someone? Yes I have. Called More Than. Guess who I wrote it for? I also wrote a poem for my son's teacher who was leaving school and he cried when he read it, and asked for permission to frame it. The first line read "Steven came home from school today, what was the matter, he could not say.... "
