How many Christmas cards have you had so far?

Only two, one at the office and one at home !

How many do you expect to get ?

Usually around forty or so...

Do you write in your cards, or does your other half do it? Or do you each sign your name? Or do you not have an other half? Or do you not write Christmas cards?

***Shut up DC!**

I tend to write those cards which are primarily my friends or family , and Mrs does hers.
But mostly they are signed as if from both of us.

Where will you be on Christmas Day ? For Christmas dinner ?

At home and for once its only the four of us. We're fed up of either doing or being at the other end of big mass catered jobs where the hostess gets stressed out and there ends up being a family row. So its a service taken by hubby which I'm playing for a family dinner then we'll just enjoy being a family Mum Dad and two gorgeous boys.

Going to friends, all being well!

Ordinary English tea mid-afternoon.
Oolong tea chilled in summer.

Tea first in the cup or milk ? or no milk? etc etc

Milk/tea bag first then water!

Why does stirring coffee make a different sound to stirring tea?

Probbaly because it's viscosity is a little higher, or that sound conductivity is different in coffee than in tea.

No, I didn't. (Sorry f#m! )

Good ol' fish and chips. Im not a fan of pizzas etc or chinese type food.

Do you use lot of salt and vinegar on your F & C ? I prefer not to use any!

ok I'll answer yours f#minor -
salt and lots of vinegar on chips please - but I don't put salt on anything else - ever. Don't use it in cooking either.

How do you like your beans on toast?

Well, umm...I like toast with err...beans on top. Cheese is nice too I suppose.

Are there different ways of making beans on toast? (Sorry MM! )

yes - I wondered if it might be a silly question ...
well, some people like grated cheese on top, or bacon, or extra tomato ketchup -
butter or marge, wholemeal toast or white ...
oh never mind!

erm - not sure if it is up to me to ask another question or not !

ok - is it up to me to ask the next question ?

Oven chips or deep fried ?

Deep fried.

Pie

Smoked or unsmoked bacon ?

Neither!

If you had to choose, would you lose your sight or your hearing?

Would you ever wear real fur?

The idea of wearing fur doesn't bother me THAT much, but I don't like fur, real or fake, anyway.

What can I do to get rid of my nasty cold and red nose? I am supposed to be going out tomorrow afternoon (half day from work) and don't want to be sniffing unromantically all the way through.

OOh dear..I hope you managed to get something for your cold. And that you had a good time!


Where is everyone today?

I'm here - I'm new

If a week's a fortnight, how long will it take a flea in pit boots to walk across a barrel of treacle

It would take a Preston Guild, as they say in Lancashire

How many is 'one or two' ? I recckon three !

isn't "one or two" usually "way too many but my lips are sealed"?

Ah! I dont think I dare answer that.

OK how many are there in 'a few' I reckon 6 or 7 !
