Me Me Me

Nicked from Queen Margot and the Supper Club, I thought I'd have a go a these answers.  Like Suzy Norman said in her post, please feel free to have a go at this yourself:

1. What was the last thing you put in your mouth?

It was the last piece of a Mars Bar. An evening snack which I nearly always say I will not give into temptation but end up doing so.

2. Where was your profile picture taken?

That reminds me, I must get one sorted.  Hopefully one that doesn't make the reader click the cross in the top right hand corner.

3. Can you play Guitar Hero?

No.

4. Name someone who made you laugh today?

Seen as I've been at home due to the snow, the person who has made me laugh will be little Miss S., our 7 month old.

5. How late did you stay up last night and why?

I was in bed by about 10:50 last night.  This is the latest we had both been in bed for a while.  It isn't really feasible to stay up late too often with a youngster in the house who chooses to get up anytime after 6am.  I had contemplated staying up to watch some of the Cricket which wouldn't have been a bad idea judging by the first days play!

6. If you could move somewhere else, would you?

We're happy where we are at the moment in our Semi Detached house.  I dream of having my own detached property with a bit of land but I can't see that happening in this lifetime.

7. Ever been kissed under fireworks?

I think so but I can't be sure.

8. Which of your friends lives closest to you?

I have a mate who lives about a mile and a half away.  He's always good for a pot of tea and a natter about nothing important, just how blokes should be!  He has a taste for the odd Real Ale aswell.

9. Do you believe exes can be friends?

Not really.  In my opinion you need to make a clean break and not have the ex lingering in the background whilst you are trying to get your new relationship off the ground.  In my case I should have tried harder to make the splits less acrimonious.  Splitting is hard enough without things getting nasty.  Also, I would like to think that if I bumped into any of my ex's that it wouldn't be terribly uncomfortable (I know it's probably naive of me!).

10. How do you feel about Dr.Pepper?

One of the soft drinks I do enjoy.

11. When was the last time you cried really hard?

I'll pass on that one.

12. Who took your profile picture?

See question 2.

13. Who was the last person you took a picture of?

Intentionally Little Miss S.  Unintentionally a man walking his dog in the snow yesterday whilst I was out grabbing pictures of the tress in the local park covered in snow.
14. Was yesterday better than today?

Probably as I ended up having the day off from work as I couldn't get the car out of the street due to the snow.  An unexpected day at home is always welcome, even if it did mean I missed work.  I will have to work the day missed back at some stage, but that will come when the weather improves.

15. Can you live a day without TV?

I'm ashamed to say that probably not.  We enjoy a fair bit of TV and also make use of our Sky+ box to watch the desired programmes when we like.
16. Are you upset about anything?

Not today, apart from the fact that we're cut off from the main roads due to the amount of snow in our cul-de-sac.  Also, I am worried about when we will next get some milk and bread as jo public are panic buying these at the moment.

17. Do you think relationships are ever really worth it?

I would say yes.  I'm blessed with having a wonderful wife who is a great mother too.  Our relationship has been really tested over the last 18 months with plenty of bad stuff thrown at us but I think we're getting through it slowly and it is worth sticking with.
18. Are you a bad influence?

I can be I suppose.  I can be lazy at times, again something I shouldn't be proud of.  That then rubs off on the people around me.  I'm also a shopaholic, particularly in music and DVD shops.  I've been trying to cut back but I've not managed it so far.
19. Night out or night in?

It would have to be a Night Out seen as we don't have any of those these days.  I'm equally happy with a night in, the Sky+ remote and good bottle of wine or beer.

20. What items could you not go without during the day?

Mrs. S has just answered this as my iPhone.  It never really leaves my side.  One of my favourite purchases of the year.
21. Who was the last person you visited in the hospital?

Mrs. S in May this year, just after the birth of little Miss. S.

22. What does the last text message in your inbox say?

It's from Tom Smith out of Editors.  The message is a mailshot, telling fans what the band have been up to recently.

23. How do you feel about your life right now?

That is a question I hadn't considered until I started writing this blog entry.  Overall I'd say reasonably happy.  I have wonderful family and I'm trying to make the most of little Miss S before she grows up.  Other than a bad back I'm in good health.  I have a job with a steady income.  The picture at work has a gloomy outlook at the moment my department is under review and reorganisation at the moment.  Hopefully we'll come through that still having a job.
24. Do you hate anyone?

I would say not.  I don't have the time to be bitter about anything or anyone.  I'd say I get annoyed by certain people from time to time, but no hatred.
25. If we were to look in your facebook inbox, what would we find?

I have a facebook account but to be honest I only use it for nosing at other people and what they are up to.  My inbox hardly gets used.

26. Say you were given a drug test right now, would you pass?
Providing a drugs test didn't include alcohol, I'd be fine.

27. Has anyone ever called you perfect before?

No one is that daft, not even Mrs S.

28. What song is stuck in your head?

True Faith by New Order.  I've been listening to the Substance album this morning and this was the last track I heard.
29. Someone knocks on your door at 2:00am, who do you want it to be?

I wouldn't want anyone knocking on my door at 2am, unless they really needed me.

30. Wanna have grandkids by the time you're 50?


It would be nice as I would get to appreciate the grandchildren whilst I'm still young enough to do things with.  However, I wouldn't wish for little Miss S to have children at an early age!


31. Name something you have to do tomorrow.

Clear the road outside of snow so that I may be able to get the car out of the street.
32. Do you think too much or too little?

I think far too much and more often than not, it makes things worse.
33. Do you smile a lot?

I would say not as I'm a natural worrier about things.  I don't find it easy to put a brave face on things neither
