Have you read Sense and Sensibility? Who's the character in that novel that has the most similarities with you?

[sprite1950]

Yes when I first read it I wanted to be Marianne because she was so impulsive and had a zest for life. I was a little like her but I've calmed down a bit with age.

@Sprite1950 sorry that I arrived late in the this thread. I love the wisdom you gave me. I want to be like you. I love when you said that being honest with yourself and not blaming others for what happened in your life makes you a person. Thanks for answering that question.

[TeacherAngel]

Marianne's my favorite character!

Any plans for the Valentine's?

[sprite1950]

No my partner is not very romantic so I don't think I'll get any flowers. He might buy me some chocolates though so he can eat them with me!

[TeacherAngel]

What's your favorite chocolate?

[sprite1950]

Without a doubt Cadbury's Dairy Milk. I just like milk chocolate, no fancy fillings for me.

[TeacherAngel]

I like Cadbury too!

What's your dream car?

[sprite1950]

I have just bought a new car. It is a Suzuki Jimny. I have always liked small jeeps although my dream car would be something stylish like a BMW.

I like the Fruit & Nut bar, but it's a childhood nostalgia thing for me. I'm also not sure that we're getting the same Cadbury's chocolate here in the US as what you have in the UK; I highly prefer the taste of British chocolate over American chocolate.

PG Tips or Typhoo?

(Or, if you're not a tea drinker, what is your preferred beverage?)

[sprite1950]

We do have Fruit and Nut in the UK and other types too but I just prefer the plain dairy milk.

I drink PG tips because it's about the right strength for me. I don't like my tea too weak or too strong and this brand seems perfect.

Ever had a hyperactive dog? Mine is immensely finicky and will not stop using my leg as her scratching post. Any advice on that?

My little Jack Russell is really hyperactive but she doesn't do that She is almost 11 now so it's getting a bit easier but she is annoying when people come in the house as she jumps up at them all the time. I just keep pulling her away and saying no and if she carries on I put her in another room.

[TeacherAngel]

What did you have for dinner?

[sprite1950]

What did you have for dinner?

Sorry I haven't checked this for a while

It's morning here so I will answer for yesterday. I had sausage, mash and peas.

[TeacherAngel]

Do you like rice?

[ken alto]

How do you spend your day?

[sprite1950]

Do you like rice?

I love it and eat it several times a week. I particularly like it if it is spicy.

How do you spend your day?

I have legal custody of my 10 year old granddaughter so I start with a mad rush in the morning doing the school run. Then I try to get online to do my sites and then visit my sister who is ill (although recovering). Back to pick up granddaughter from school, a bit more on sites then usually ferry granddaughter off to clubs like Guides or Gymnastics. After that it's time to relax and watch tv until bed.

Are you strict with your granddaughter since you're her primary guardian? My grandma spoiled me very much and was never strict

There has to be boundaries. I don't know if I am strict but I am taking on the role of her parents so there have to be some rules. I can't let her run circles round me. She's pretty good though, she has her moments like all kids but she always says sorry if she's been bad and we always make up before bedtime.
