Where does Lewis Hamilton's accent come from, these days?

Prattland? I can state with a high degree of certainty that it is not Hertfordshire.

What type of fruit are you?

I'm a grape.

"You're adaptable and intelligent. Always one step ahead of the rest, your friends often rely on you to know the answer to any question or help update their resumes. If everyone would just let you write 'The Rules for Life' that everyone must follow, the world would be a better place."

I'm an apple
You are always put together and looking your best. You like to put your best foot forward at all times. Your go-getter attitude makes you successful at just about anything you try.

Did I miss something? You have a restaurant with Asda lamb? What did that become?

OH, not me.

I don't mess with her business, she doesn't mess with mine. Not being nasty (I love her to bits), but we couldn't be together 24/7.

I'm an Apple too and I guess there's no bad fruits.

Is 9 questions really enough information to accurately determine what sort of fruit someone is?!

Looks like a frustrating season coming up for lovers of the red cars....

Getting up for work is hard, getting up when everyone else is lounging in bed is even harder

Oh, I love that. Clear run of the house, no one in my way, my choice of radio station without feeling guilty........

I make a point of it in fact apart from with DH, who often does the reverse and gets up, does critters then brings me a hot drink.

Now try to work out where the motivation to do that for £15-20k would come from .... including in mid winter when it's dark, wet, cold and windy. Without any flexibility of hours and never leaving the grim/dark office once you get there... to sit, for years, among people who annoy you and a controlling boss.

I've got to start doing that budgetting thing again now .... instead of having a potentially bottomless pit of cash to dip into "if" .... then I need to make sure that each month I either meet my commitments, or change my life so I can.

I've always got an idea of how much my life costs, but now I need to really know, so I don't simply dribble away my new tinier pot, but increase it......

Might have to "get a job" to stop dossing about so much - if only to prove that I CAN get one, that people DO hire ladies of a certain age to do "proper jobs".... which, statistically, is rare.

Pah!

Try getting up when jet lag means your body still thinks its the middle of the night and the decorator is hammering away on the stairs.
