Good idea! Shame I'll have to rush these as it's midnight and I need sleep urgently !

Ideal Vacation? Canada - with the family! Perhaps when they're bigger I'll be both rich enough and brave enough! Always wanted to go there and see my cousins and the BIG country. And now add Marg to the list LOL!

Memorable Childhood Activity? Meals at Grandma & Grandpa's house - ALWAYS ham salad with buttered bread cut into triangles (seemed so exotic!), followed by bread and homemade jam, followed by homemade cakes, and maybe a pudding, often Trifle!

Friend's Qualities? Honesty, humour, trustworthiness, a listening ear.

Inherited Characteristics to keep and change? Hmmm, tough one! I'm very grateful they passed their faith onto me, if that counts as a keep. Change - my temper - done my best to change that already!

Good thing now? My family! I view this as the time of my life, the top of the mountain, the peak of my usefulness and influence. But if MIL is correct, I may get a second bite of the cherry one day if I become a grandma, so maybe it isn't all downhill from here!

What would I like to do in the next 5 years? I'd settle for paying the bills and maintaining the house and garden, so I could devote all my time and energies to my DH & kids.

What is the most memorable activity you did with your family as a child?
