Nice to see your answers some quite similar to mine. & I see both our last text messages were sad! I guess that means the mobile companies are desperate for business...

RE: No 25. I did wonder after you said the Armagnac had evaporated ;-)

Wow. Long list! And, interesting answers. Some made me laugh quite a bit! I know Neal's Yard. Cool little place - there's a bead shop in there! :D

And your car not quite as old as mine! Mine is an '87 Buick LeSabre Coupe - fully restored. It's sort of like my second hobby! :D

Don't drink too much! :D

Haha glad you like it!

These memes are interesting insights into those who do them but the number of questions,100, puts me off doing it.

It was a long job, no doubt about that jmb

I call my younger son Boo Boo!

A personal trainer? Fancy! I started dieting last week. I was wretched today and wolfed down two turkey cream cheese enchiladas instead of one. SO much for portion control. I'll have to move my fat ass double time tomorrow to work it off.

It's cliche but true. It's going to take a lot of effort to get rid of weight that I put on all too easily and happily.

I know what you mean EWBL. It's a lot harder to take it off than put it on
