Beau Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 61. What is it that Geraldine and Beau have in common with their favourite things? OK, so they both love freshly baked bread!- HappyMaz Actually it was the smell of freshly baked bread but we'll give you that one! 62. Narnia loved the book but someone else said it was their favourite film. What was it and who liked the film best? salsa73 Shawshank Redemption - aliamch 63. More on our favourite topic of food! Shiny was the only person who mentioned fruit with strawberries being one of her favourites. The rest of us stuck with unhealthier options, some of the favourites being treacle sponge, icecream, cheesecake, chocolate éclairs, mince pies and triple chocolate muffins. JacquieL loves her M&S carrot cake but who else loves it but can’t eat it? At a rough guess, I'd say its Cait - because she's a celiac - HappyMaz 64. FSF was the favourite website with Facebook a close second. However, who was it who posted her 1000th post in support of the forum? Catma - HappyMaz 65. The second question to do with music. There were many different bands and singers named as favourites with Marillion cropping up twice (no surprises there!) However, which singer do both Rosina and matkat love? Cliff Richard - teahead 66. Where in the world would you rather be? Although France, Barbados, Greece, USA, Latin America and Hawaii all got a mention, for most of you places in the UK were favourite. The favourites really did cover just about the whole of it - Scotland, Ireland, Wales and many places in England too. However whose favourite place was “snuggled up on a settee watching a good dvd (with my fiancé)”? Paula- aliamch 67. Linda McDowell, Aliamch and mundia were all in agreement that this was their favourite, but what was it? Fav book - To kill a mockingbird - teahead 68. Who was it that mentioned their strange hobby of letterboxing and what is it? Daisydoo: "My Favourite hobby is letterboxing - hunting for boxes with stamps inside on Dartmoor!" - HappyMaz 69. Many of you seem to have a sweet tooth with everyone in agreement that chocolate in some shape or form is favourite, although suewhit does like her toffee too. Sunshine82 likes hers melted and this favourite chocolate inspired Nichola when choosing colours for her bridesmaids - what particular chocolate is it? Cadbury's Dairy Milk - HappyMaz 70. People are obviously very important to us, with friends, parents, children, grandchildren and partners all getting a mention. A special mention should go to Jacquie’s grandson John who made his appearance in the middle of our thread and yasmeenmultani who made her first post to tell us that her husband is her favourite person! One thing that was particularly striking was that mention of people particularly special to us seemed to bring out a more poetic side of us. So who said the following? “My favourite time of the day is when I check on my two girls just before I go to sleep and they reach out a hand and murmur back at me that they love me.” Nickysussex “I’m proudest of my daughter striking out into a male dominated field because ‘I’ve every right to be there’ which proves to me I’ve done a good job raising her.” Biccy “My favourite thing is listening to my two boys playing together nicely on a Sunday afternoon, playing action men and rescue heroes and guess what they are 15 and 9.” mrsb “My favourite time is Sunday when my granddaughter is around and she wakes me up for girlie time - she is six and we share a cup of tea and biscuits!” Smiles “Tickle fights with my son, snuggles with my daughter and anytime with my Clive.” Sue Well done to aliamch for getting all of Q70 right!

Gezabel Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I think the only clue we have to how much was spent in Ikea is that it is 'a little less' than £300 but 'little' could really mean 'quite a bit'!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 I think in the interests of fairness, probabaly one guess only is allowed. I will shortly compile (if I can) a list of what people's guesses are so far... Just for recap then One question from last night 45. when did Christmas officially arrive in the forum in 2004 and from round 8. 78. What pets did Lesley not expect to see? 79. Which dance lady loves the sum of 1 and 1? 80. SO hoe much DID Maz spend at Ikea. Nearest to correct for a mug! (anyone Maz told last night is banned from answering this question….)
