I think the biggest tell is those of us who ramble on and on, and those of us who have one word answers.

It looks like many of us have a problem with fish in general and most of us should be dancing more - really, the amount of you that only dance when drunk and/or at weddings :roll:

Hang on, red light spell danger has come on the radio - I might need to go and boogie for a minute :toothy8:

woah there Ann, no problem with fish here, just with tinned sardines hahaha! I can't stand tinned salmon either though I prefer tinned tuna to fresh.

I'm willing to try anything once. ok almost anything.
oh how I love my tea, tea in the afternoon. I can't do without it, and I think I'll have another cup very

I prefer shellfish to actual fish, though I like tuna and a nice piece of battered cod! And I dance all the time at home, when no-one's around to see me ;)
When I was young people called me a hippy. Now I'm a bit older I'm just called environmentally aware..... that's progress!

favourite colour - Blues and Purples

last holiday - Wales first time in a family run hotel with the kids was a strange mixture of faultytowers and league of gentlem! more fun as a result though !

last dance - Thursday during assembly at school, we have a fun song with silly movements, great fun and I reckon us adults enjoy it more than the kids :lol:

Fav item of clothing - at the moment it's a big wool jacket that's sooooooo warm and snug it a hug in a coat though I still lust/long over a pair of turquoise crushed velvet leggings I had back in the day I could look good in leggings

last kiss - Boys as they went to school this morning

desert island disc - impossible to answer as I'd rather not have to choose - most played on Ipod surprises me though 'the kill' 30 seconds to Mars.

Sardines - yes please :lol:

favourite colour - Purple

last holiday - not had a holiday in years - travelled down to Manchester to see my mum in hospital last month, does that count?

last dance - in the kitchen, every day! It's good for you.

Fav item of clothing - My patchwork skirt from Namaste! I've got two actually and they are both very faded now after 5 years of use, and I need to get the needle and cotton out to do a bit of repair work.

last kiss - My youngest son when he came home from school.

desert island disc - Hobo Heaven - the Groanbox Boys

Sardines - I LOVE sardines (but make sure that they are sustainably-fished of course!) - fresh by preference, but tinned can be very good as long as they don't have that awful tomato sauce with them)

What is your favourite colour? purple or bright pink. can't decide, but like dark green as well.

Where did you go on your last holiday? Croissant Neuf Summer Party in Usk and Northern Green Gathering. Rained.

What is your favourite item of clothing? a pair of pants. Good times. But at moment a big jumper, it's cold in our house!

When did you last dance? yesterday, half heartedly while at a kid's party, and Friday madly and frenetically to Scissor Sisters with the kids watching, dumbstruck with horror and shame

Who was the last person you kissed? ds1.

What would be your desert island disc? (only one song... when the waves sweep everything else into the ocean) I simply can't limit my watching listening or reading habits to one thing. No fair!

Sardines.... yes or no? yes, I think. I don't like spines much but don't mind scoffing fish out of a tin. In fact I prefer to scoff out of the tin, and when it comes to compiling the salad or whatever, there's usually not enough!

What is your favourite colour? I'm at a don't know stage with that :? It was red when I was little, black in my late teens/early 20s, then purple. I think I'm leaning towards green, because of the many fantastic shades you get in nature throughout the year

Where did you go on your last holiday? Xante, the Greek Island, summer 2005. I was a few weeks pregnant and finally got a home pregnancy test to agree with me on the morning we set off. I felt pretty yukky all the time I was there, which wasn't helped by the huge amount of onions that was served with everything.

What is your favourite item of clothing?
Another thing that changes all the time. I wear jeans a lot because they are so practical, but I don't really like them. I like big skirts, but haven't worn them in ages because they're impractical. Err., I don't really know. So long as my pits are out I'm comfy.

When did you last dance? I don't do dance-floor dancing, but I do bounce about the house a bit with Katie (2 yrs, 5 months). It's usually to songs from Thomas the Tank Engine. :roll:

Who was the last person you kissed? Katie. She grabbed me by both ears and gave me a right smacker

What would be your desert island disc? (only one song... when the waves sweep everything else into the ocean) This one changes daily, but is always something by Kate Bush. Today it would have to be 'In Search of Peter Pan'

Sardines.... yes or no? :pukeleft:
