Found this on Sunday Stealing a couple of weeks back, and thought I’d give it a go.
A is for Age: 42
B is for Beer of choice: Don’t much like beer, much rather have a nice cold glass of Sancerre, thank you.
C is for Career: Not any more really, no. (And no desire to have one, either).
D is for favourite Drink: Margarita (has to be with proper lime juice, not that dreadful cordial stuff)
E is for Essential item you use everyday: Toothbrush
F is for Favourite song at the moment: I wouldn’t call it a favourite, but I can’t resist singing along to that Cee Lo Green one when it comes on the radio.
G is for favourite Game: Scrabble.
H is for Home town: Bournemouth. I still miss living there, and would far rather live somewhere more cosmopolitan than Devon, where I’ve ended up.
I is for Instruments you play: None. I did learn the violin for a while as a child, but we are not a musical family, to be honest.
J is for favourite Juice: Grapefruit. Ideally with some soda and vodka in a long tall glass with lots of ice, sipped in the sunshine.
K is for Kids: Just the one – although I’ve got five 11 year olds coming for a sleepover next Friday, and I’m not looking forward to it at all!
L is for Last kiss: From William, before he went out to karate this morning.
M is for marriage: .Sixteen years this year – who’d have thought?
N is for full Name: Caroline Mary Mathews. I bloody hate my middle name.
O is for Overnight hospital stays: Not recently – last time was after giving birth in Feb 2000.
P is for phobias: Fish (not the kind you have with chips).
Q is for quote: Somebody (sorry, can’t remember who) posted this lovely quote by AA Milne the other day, and it really struck a chord. “If ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together . . . there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart . . . I’ll always be with you.”
R is for biggest Regret: Taking up smoking – it was so hard to stop.
S is for sports: No thanks, not for me. Although I will be tuning into the final of the Australian Open tennis at 8.15 tomorrow morning – Go Murray!
T is for Time you wake up: Far too early, particularly when I don’t have to, ridiculously enough.
U is for colour of underwear: U is for unnecessary question, I think.
V is for Vegetable you love: Most of them, really, but butternut squash is one of my favourites at the moment.
W is for Worst Habit: Snacking.
X is for X-rays you’ve had: Various, over the years, but the one I particularly remember is immediately after giving birth. When Will was about 20 mins old, the midwives informed me they’d lost one of their swabs, and asked if they could have a rootle around to see if they’d left it inside, as it were (sorry to anybody eating while reading this). I said no (far too effing painful after forceps, episiotomy and stitches, thank you), so they sent me to the other end of the hospital for an x-ray to try and locate it. Bizarrely, the x-ray operative x-rayed my stomach (did they think I’d EATEN the swab?!), which wasn’t discovered until I got back to the maternity dept and my baby, and they were about to send me off to x-ray again, when they found the missing swab elsewhere. To say I was unimpressed would be an understatement.
Y is for Yummy food you make: I love cooking lots of different things, but particularly soup at the moment.
Z is for zodiac sign: Virgo. Does anybody care?
B is for Beer of choice: Don’t much like beer, much rather have a nice cold glass of Sancerre, thank you.
C is for Career: Not any more really, no. (And no desire to have one, either).
