Time for another nosey post, I know you girls still have secrets to hide so I have to ferret them out somehow
1. Do you prefer an open plan dining room and kitchen or a separate dining room and kitchen?
I prefer open plan, we don't have that at the moment and I miss the interaction with guests when they come around for lunch or supper, I love people sitting around an island jabbering away drinking wine, whilst I cook. It also means I try and tidy up and clean dirty dishes etc as I go along, as I don't like everything looking a mess behind the island. In our next property, I shall be making sure we have open plan again, even if it means taking a wall down.
2. What book are you reading at the moment
American Dirt, Jeanine Cummins, brilliant, this is a summary from the Guardian
'Lydia Quixano Pérez owns a bookshop in downtown Acapulco, where she is teetering on the edge of an emotional affair with her favourite customer, the alluringly well-read Javier. Lydia’s husband, Sebastián, is an investigative journalist, working to unmask “The Owl”, the leader of an inventively gruesome new narcotics cartel whose grab for power has left the city ravaged and fearful. There are few places on the planet more deadly to be a journalist, and the integrity that attracted Lydia to Sebastián terrifies her now that they have a child – it seems “sanctimonious, selfish”. When Sebastián publishes his exposé, Lydia’s darkest fears come to pass.'
3. Do you ever wear a thong, and would you go knickerless if your dress warranted it, a la Moi ...it's Ok Bella, I know you would
I would if underwear would spoil the line of the dress/trousers but these days I have so many other bumps it probably wouldn't make much difference
4.If you entered a talent competition what would your special talent be?
I can say the alphabet backwards
5. Who manages the finances in your household, are you/they good at it?
Me and yes I am, but I am mean, OH has no idea
6. What beauty product do you have in your arsenal that you cannot do without?
Liz Earle's face exfoliator with muslin cloth and face tonic, I use it twice a week, it is very gentle. I really miss it if I run out. I have bought a Superdrug's own exfoliator with muslin cloth as a back up, but haven't tried it yet, it has been recommended to me. It is 1/3rd of the price of LE so I must give it a go.
7. Which famous person, who is still alive today, would you like to have lunch with?
Anthony Hopkins, love him as an actor and I love his art, he does massive canvases. He's a bit grumpy at times, but I am sure he wouldn't be with me ...I wouldn't want to be intimate with him though...one grumpy sex pest is enough
8. Each add a line of 6 words to the line below to make a story;
'The frightening thing about it was'.......
Over to you ladies
