Ooh, I love food, me 1. Favourite main meal ~ spaghetti with crayfish if I'm cooking, chicken dhansak if I'm eating out. 2. Favourite starter ~ mussels 3. Favourite dessert ~ pavlova if I make it myself, chocolate anything if I'm eating out! 4. Favourite pizza topping ~ margherita 5. Favourite bread ~ Not a great lover of bread. If I eat it I like the squishy white sort, jam packed with artificial preservatives and having no nutritional value whatsoever. 6. Favourite vegetable ~ cauliflower (especially in curries - yum!) 7. Favourite fruit ~ lychees 8. Favourite cheese ~ camembert 9. Favourite takeaway ~ singapore duck with rice 10. Favourite chocolate bar ~ creme egg. Not really a bar, but never mind. 11. Favourite sandwich ~ bacon and fried egg (with runny yolk). Eaten hot, on buttered white bread, so all the butter melts and the sandwich sticks to your hand in a glob of grease and egg yolk. I'm such a classy lady.

My mum is a chef, so taught me to cook from an early age. It's just as well, since our school cookery classes were a joke (making sausage rolls using jus-roll pastry and sausage meat, making christmas cake using a ready-made cake and ready to roll icing...). It's a skill which I am increasingly glad to have. Thanks mum

Turned the TV on at the weekend and there was Dick Van Dyke, dancing with his old bamboo.

Oh goody - I have this on my pile of books to read. I may bump it up a few places now!

I enjoyed this book more than the Da Vinci Code, but thought the ending was laughably unbelievable. I think these books will make great films or even TV series - lots of drama, lots of tension, and a cliff-hanger at the end of each chapter.

I read this book over the weekend and absolutely adored everything about it, from the pink-tipped pages to the characters and story. I love the whole tone of it, it reminded me of those madcap heiress stories from the 1930s. I absolutely fell in love with Charlotte, and wanted to go and have tea and ginger scones with her myself!

I bought this book when I was going through a bit of a down phase - nothing serious, just felt stuck in a rut. It didn't really change my life, but did make me feel a lot better, mostly because I couldn't get past his comedy-hypnotist voice on the CD. Every time I listened to it I ended up crying with laughter. It's sad, really, as I never gave the book a chance. I Can Make You Thin has been a lot better for me, even if he does still use the same comedy voice on the CD...

I've only ever read What Ho, Jeeves, but thought it was completely fantastic and would love to read more.

Cup-a-soup and a bag of Ryvita minis, both of which I got free when I was still going to Slimming World. I'd shoved them in a drawer in work and promptly forgot all about them until I was looking for some sellotape today. Oh, the glamour of it all!

Try going to Eurodisney and being completely unable to stop yourself shouting at Mary Poppins. Cor Bloimey! :oops: I wouldn't be me if I didn't make a fool of myself at every given opportunity!

I read this book a good long while ago, but I enjoyed it so much I carried on to read another couple of books in the series. So far I've enjoyed them all, though I can see everyone's point about Lena. She doesn't get any less irritating as the series progresses... I normally do try to guess whodunnit, but I never really thought that far ahead as I was reading this one, so although it didn't take me by surprise it didn't feel like a let-down. I loved the fact that each character was so richly drawn. Nobody in this book is perfect, everyone has their issues. I did find some of the minor characters were almost too detailed - I kept expecting them to play a much bigger part in the story than they did.

I do love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but whenever anyone mentions it I get an overwhelming urge to break into song: "oh, me old bamboo, me old bamboo". Mary Poppins affects me in a similar way. Cor bloimey guv'nor...

I thought this book was alright, but it's not one I would bother rereading. I think I preferred the historical story rather than the modern one, but mostly because I preferred Alais to Alice. I did feel let down by the ending, and had to read the last bit again to make sure I hadn't missed a big chunk of it. Everyone I know who has read this book absolutely loves it. It passed a rainy weekend quite nicely, but for me it didn't live up to the hype.

I'm not a huge fan of stage musicals (just can't stomach Andrew Lloyd Webber). I do love all kinds of film musicals, from Calamity Jane to How to Succeed in Business (Without Really Trying). I have on DVD: Chicago Calamity Jane 7 Brides for 7 Brothers The King & I State Fair Oklahoma The Sound Of Music Oliver Annie Mary Poppins Gigi The Wizard of Oz Little Shop of Horrors Cabaret West Side Story Guys & Dolls High Society Easter Parade Meet me in St Louis Can't think of any others at the mo (though I'm sure I have others).

Birthday: 21 May 1974 Age: 31 Starsign: Taurus/Gemini (depending on who is predicted to have a better time!) Single/Married/Other? Single Children? Dear lord no - I find it hard enough to look after myself. Where do you live? Wirral - across the Mersey from Liverpool. Do you work? Oh yes. I am a buyer for a healthcare company and I adore my job. Favourite author? Probably Susan Howatch, but it can change at a moment's notice. Favourite book? I don't really have one. Today's fave is probably Rebecca, but again it all changes at the drop of a hat. How did you get here? Can you believe I can't remember (and I got here all of.. ooh... yesterday :oops: ). I think someone put a link up on another booky site.
