bookwormmum Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) Inspired from a discussion at work as someone admitted they like salad cream & peanut butter sandwiches , what are those things that you love, but are somewhat embarrassing, childish or odd??? Mine are cheesy 80s/90s pop, dipping pretzels in chocolate and playing hide & seek. just thought of another... High School Musical films.

Charm Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) I still mash my potatoes with my veg and gravy like I did when I was small I would never do it if I was out for a meal tho! I also like to put strawberry jam on sausage rolls - really delicious:smile2: I really love the series Charmed - childish I know but really entertaining and funny not to mention the georgeous Julian McMahon Edited October 4, 2008 by Charm Adding a guilty pleasure!

beef Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 winding up tele marketers. asking odd questions like "will this get in the way of the chandelier" or " do you do those windows with platinum trim" or if they ask how old the kitchen is "it should be finished in 10 min" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talisman Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I do that as well - only I tell them that I used to work for their company and that is why I would never buy from them ! I am usually greeted by silence, and no return calls ... I also like eating chocolate spread from the jar, kids playgrounds and tickling my partner.

beef Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I'm so going to say that next time! you should, I once got a woman on the other end who said "where did you get it mine needs doing" and I said "you work..selling kitchens.." she just laughed and implied that she would not touch the ones she was selling with a barge pole, good times.

SaraPepparkaka Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I just love snowracers (or anything that you can use to get yourself down a hill in winter). I'm not SO embarrassed about it right now, since my kids are in the right age for them now, and if I take them along, people just tend to think I'm a good mom who plays with her kids. Same goes for snowball fights and snowmen. I don't know what I'll do when the kids get too old for that, though. Wait for grandchildren maybe?

Nici Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I think any sort of jelly sweet is my secret addiction..Jelly babies, penny sweets, jelly beans - you name them, i'll eat them! The blacks and reds are my favourites and I don't share them with anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyB Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 if they ask how old the kitchen is "it should be finished in 10 min" I love that.

Kylie Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 winding up tele marketers. asking odd questions like "will this get in the way of the chandelier" or " do you do those windows with platinum trim" or if they ask how old the kitchen is "it should be finished in 10 min" A co-worker told me that a telemarketer rang wanting to sell her a ticket for a wine raffle. She told them she was an alcoholic (not true). He laughed, but then tried to sell her two! I also like eating chocolate spread Me too! Nutella, specifically. And, like Judy, I eat it straight out of the jar. I don't like to double-dip, so I use a large soup spoon and heap as much onto it as I can in one go. I also like red and purple Skittles and eat every other colour first so I'm left with a little pile of my favourites. I still get my Mum to buy me those chocolate advent calendars every single Christmas (you know, where you open the window and get a chocolate each day ).

I remember those, they used to come with..fruit salad's I think they were called? they were both awesome! I went to a restaurant in Brighton a couple of weeks ago, and at the end of the meal they gave us a plate of these, black jacks & fruit salads, to share. Luckily we still had a bit of room for them!
