How many pair of shoes do you have? Out of those pairs, how many do you wear more than a few times a year?
Submitted by fightinggale.

Hmmm.

2 pairs of knee length boots - 1 black, 1 brown - I wear about once a month

3 pairs of brown ankle boots - 1 pair that I wear pretty much every day, the others are back-ups for when these die (although they are pointy toes and keep tripping me up by hooking into the opposite trouser leg...)

2 pairs of trainers - 1 for running, 2 for casual

Bored now.

What would you like to do more of?

• Travelling, but not in a backpacking, take a year off way. In a need more money, and more days holiday way!
• Reading, in a I need more time to read kind of way..
• Baking, in a I need to learn restraint because I daren't bake as much as I would like because I know I'd eat more.
• Cooking from recipe books, in a I need more time and discipline way.

But most of all,

I'd like to spend more time at home. To do the DIY, to have people over for dinner parties, and to just enjoy my home. I'd also like to have more friends who live locally, so that we didn't spend weekends visiting other people, and people weren't put off coming to visit by having to stay overnight and take up more of their precious weekends.

p.s. am pissed off because I've just accidentally found out who was voted off the Apprentice, and we haven't watched it yet! Grr.

What is your "role" in your family?

With my family? I'm the practical one. I'm the one no one needs to worry about because I'm fine. I'm the one who steps into the breach when starters need assembling at dinner parties, or birthday cakes need baking.

With Nick? We have a pretty even partnership so I don't think there's anything I do that he doesn't, really.

How do you think having siblings (or not having siblings) affects who you are as a person?

Absolutely, because it affects how you perceive the world, how you deal with things, how you interact with other people, all sorts of things.

If I hadn't have had my brother and sister, I can't tell you what I would have been like, of course, but I know that having them has definitely shaped who I am.

Are you a go-getter or do you wait for good things to happen to you?

Definitely a go-getter, although I'm learning to be more patient, and not always look for the next step.

That's to say - I'm not a high flyer, and I do get lazy.

For instance, I've been saying for years that I've wanted to emigrate, but I've done nothing about actually doing it, and doubt I will unless it's made much easier....
