Nope, the top ten would be made up of food related questions like how much do you love Marmite

Just completing an application form... last time you applied for a job??

Two weeks ago! Teaching agency. Went well. Now they submit my CVs to places, which saves all the hassle. I hate applying for jobs. I wouldn't mind if the Government just sent you jobs you're suitable for, like on Futurama. Although I suppose that takes the adventure and free willing out of things, doesn't it?

Last book you read?/Currently reading?

You can't beat the romance of the open sea

Do you ever wish you had been a fisherman??

It would be a hard life, but a simple and honest one.

Ever eaten Starry Gazey pie?

God no !!!!!

I come from a long line of fish merchants.
Ex also had one spell out at sea. His return was nauseating. The smell

What's your favourite fish food?

Prawns, or lobster [which I've only eaten twice but it was superb!]

I hadn't thought of the whiff

Did he do his own laundry?

It's horrific! I had one day working an outdoor catering on our fish docks. One of the worst days of my life !!!!

Thankfully the fishy ex still lived with his mam so I never had the pleasure. And he quit after one trip

What's starry gazey pie?

It's a Cornish pie made from pilchards which they popped into the pie whole, with their little faces peeping out of the pastry topping. Thus gazing at the stars

It helps if you likes pilchards

Do you?

What's your favourite kind of pie?

Fish pie, made with salmon, cod, smoked haddock and king prawns with a mash topping.

I can hear you retching from here, Moose

What is your favourite thing to eat with mash?

I like carrot and butternut squash soup, not sure I ever had straight carrot on its own.

Do you like cream of parsnip soup?

50 minutes on quickwash....which I usually use, or about an hour and a half on the full time wash for mixed fabrics.

I've never used the Eco cottons wash, it's over three hours long

How long does yours take?

I almost always use my Hotpoint's ** Fast wash ** which takes 45 minutes @ 40 degrees

The longer Fast wash is 1 hour / = 15 minutes longer - If you choose to have the water Higher @ 50 degrees
There are some cycles that are maybe 3 hours long - for maybe stubborn stains - pre soak - higher temps etc etc
I have only used this once in my life - earlier this year - but I could barely notice any benefits

What was the last pudding you ate ?

The raspberry crumble I made the other day.

Do you prefer fruit based puddings or sweet/chocolate/caramel based ones?

Noticed there is Back in Time for Christmas on at 9pm featuring the same family that went back to the 50s, 60s etc to sample the food of the period! One not to miss

Not presents, I've been known to save something I won in a raffle and give it as a gift.

Next week will I guess be 70s, 80s and 90s which we will all remember far more clearly. In the 70s I got a spacehopper for Crimbo one year and all the other kids on our estate were WELL JELL I was suddenly everyone's best pal

Did you have indoor fireworks at Xmas in the 70s?

No, I take them to my friend's annual fireworks party where a group of drunken men set 'em off on their allotment

Do you ever hear your neighbours have domestics?

No. I have neighbours on one side only here and they are the loveliest old couple. I'm going to so miss living next door to them. Mrs Neighbour is ever so sad I'm going even though I'll still be able to wave to them from over the road

New house is in the middle of a terrace. The neighbours on one side are a young couple. He's got a gob like a foghorn and they apparently have some right humdingers. I'm dreading it (a young ankle biter and two non stop barking dogs too )

Have you ever had a feud with a neighbour?
