Here goes:
1. What's for dinner tonight?
Sausage stew, a la Tom Button (currently the one doing everything around here due to my broken leg).
2. Do you read a daily newspaper?
No, not unless you count Buzzfeed.
3. If you could take off on a no-expense spared holiday next week, where would you go?
Pretty much anywhere you don't have to wear wellies, and change out of muddy clothes every five seconds, and run away from angry chickens.
4. What was your favourite book as a child?
The Bears' Picnic, by Jan and Stan Berenstain.
5. who is your favourite author as an adult?
David Nicholls, because he wrote the fabulous One Day, and introduced me to the gorgeous Dexter Mayhew.
6. Do you buy your underwear at M&S?
Yes - I have a mad splurge in M&S every five years or so.
7. What's your dream career and do you wish you'd done it?
When a careers advisor came to our school and got us to take a questionnaire to determine our ideal career, mine came up as train driver! However I was adamant I wanted to be a news reader on BBC1 - mainly because my drama teacher told me I had a good speaking voice, and this coupled with the fact that I wanted to be famous, seemed like the obvious choice.
8. Do you ever google people you meet afterwards? (And not for work reasons).
Yes! I sometimes even start googling them on my phone while still in their company. I was in hospital last week and out of sheer boredom I googled all the other patients on my ward (as their names were written above their heads), and also some of the doctors and nurses.
9. What was the last thing you saw at the theatre?
Rapunzel, and before that Ben and Holly, and before that Jack and the Beanstalk... (jeez)
10. Do you use Pinterest, and if so, do you get the point?
I use Pinterest very occasionally, like when my kids set me impossible challenges such as making a multi-coloured, three tier, flashing Disney Princess birthday cake - for this purpose it is very useful to get ideas. Other than that I haven't got a clue what it's for.
11. What's been your proudest moment as a parent so far?
I'm pretty proud of my girls right now - they are waiting on me hand and foot.
I am now going to think of some questions of my own and tag some bloggers...

One Day is fabulous, isn't it? I couldn't put it down. The film is disappointing.
Great answers! I think you deserve a holiday far away from chickens...
Love the idea of you googling other people in the hospital ward. (I asked that because I wondered if I am the only person who does such stalker-ish things - like googling other parents at school and looking at their LinkedIn profiles.)
Unless they are bloggers, I find people incredibly boring to google. People just don't share enough online ;-)
