Tigs is in The Hot Seat this week so fire away with your questions .One question per message box please .You can ask as many questions as you like there is no limit . Have fun

I always meant to ask you. What does ensuite mean?

See, I need translation too!!! Wonder if it means the same thing as it does on this side of the Pond.

Not sure exactly Sweet but my understanding is it means wash facilities attached to a bedroom.

And just in case it does, how many bathrooms do you have in your house?

We have one main bathroom that has a bath and a shower, two ensuites - shower rooms, one attached to James bedroom and the other to Mark's and a downstairs cloakroom - sink and toilet only.

are you getting paid for working today?

Of course I am!

Not sure if they have yet realised they can't afford me as a permanent member of their staff, not at the rates I charge.

But how can they resist such charm and efficiency.

and lol ... you obviously have not seen Remove letter etc....

Better go and hide - hmm..will go investigate this one right now......

Sweet how could you!

Since when has being forthright and outspoken translated into bossy??!

Tara has claimed it, so I guess it means that SHE is bossy. hahaha

Would I ever describe YOU as bossy.. Hey, I would not dare.

I have an ensuite off my bedroom. Shower but no tub and of course washbasin and toilet.

So will you give serious consideration to working at Run Amok?

Lol Sweet....@ the thought of Yvette as bossy....I think she can have her moments if she is pushed too far though.

So will you give serious consideration to working at Run Amok?

Yes I will Sweet....Runamok is a fun if busy place to work that can get quite hectic but the stress isn't the same as the worrying stress that my current job has. The people who run the place are really friendly especially the one who is currently on holiday, he has that air about him that makes you want to be part of what he is involved in. It's so nice to be around employers who value their staff and praise and encourage what they do instead of moaning about what isn't done all the time.

How well do you know all the members of the group xx

Oh Sue that's an interesting question.....I have actually met some members of the group several times and maintain phone contact with some and feel I know them reasonably well.

I think I am very good at forming my own ideas for what people are like regardless of how much or how little they post and whether I have met them or not.

I am very good at piecing together lifestyles and personalities even from very little information but usually keep those opinions to myself for obvious reasons.

Sometimes those that say the least are the ones that tell me the most about themselves although of course I have no evidence to substantiate my opinions and thoughts.

wow ... interesting through process. You are obviously not just a pretty face.

I know you have a reputation for your infectious laugh and want you to tell us about it. What it sounds like, how it affects people around you, and whether it has ever got you into trouble (employer thinking you are having fun?? Remember, you are not allowed to have fun at work!)

I have a friend who has a hearty laugh, and whenever she is in a restaurant, people around her send a drink over. Has anything like that happened to you?

do you like collecting things? anything.

It used to be shoes for me ... now it's bits of strings and rubber bands and "useful" stuff. J/k

Tigs, anything ... could be boyfriends (in the past!!)or beads for your card making.

How did you stumble on card making anyway?

do you have other creative talents?

Would you have wanted a daughter?

and what were your thoughts when a third boy popped out?

I have so many more questions to ask you, but quite frankly I think I will just remain curious. I do want to leave something to the imagination or maybe for when we ever meet.

Tigs is thinking to herself ... over my dead body.

I reckon I'd make a jolly good psychological profiler....doesn't take much before I have the measure of people. I reckon your pretty shrewd also Sweet as I feel you read people pretty well.

Aw that's nice for your friend Sweet...nicest thing that has happened to me is people say how good they feel when they hear me laugh and I'm always being complimented on my smile and cheery nature by people I meet at work ie patients.

Yesterday was a hoot and the miserable manager came down to find her car keys and we were having a ball...(I hasten to add at this point that whilst the laughing was going on we didn't have any patients on the premises) now she wasn't pleased but I cajoled her into the conversation so she couldn't have chance to moan about the hilarity, which she would have done. She is such a miserable person I dont think she can remember when she was last relaxed enough to enjoy a good laugh.

Do you like collecting things? anything.

I wouldn't say I'm particularly a collector but I have got collections of things. When I first found ebay I bought a variety of beanie Tiggers dressed in different outfits and have them displayed in a bureau in the lounge and on a couple of cupboards in my bedroom.

I suppose you could call all the crafty bits I buy for my creative activities a collection but only in a 'to use' capacity and not to keep. Although saying that I probably have far more stuff than I'll ever use.

When I was younger I used to collect cloth badges from every place I used to visit on day trips and holidays. I still have the little folder somewhere with them all in, probably about 60 in total before I stopped collecting them.

How did you stumble on card making anyway?

I can't really remember, but I suppose I was at a craft fair one day, bought a few things and set about making some cards for friends and relatives and from there I was hooked.

do you have other creative talents?

Sewing as in making things using a sewing machine.

Cross stitch but rarely do that nowadays as it takes so long to do.

Scrapbooking.

Tapestry

Knitting

Crochet, although not done any for years.....

Whilst at school I did pottery and made quite a selection of pots using a wheel and I got a grade A. GCE for my efforts.

Probably the only crafty thing I'm useless at is drawing and painting unless it's by numbers.

Would you have wanted a daughter?

Not particularly - Most women say they like one so they can dress her up in pretty clothes and also to have a friend to go shopping with but I'm not into the frilly frocks and prefer to shop alone so I only have to look at what I want to see.

I think Wac would have liked a girl, but I can honestly say I've never had the same wish. I am so proud of my boys they are everything I've ever wanted and needed...fine young men.

and what were your thoughts when a third boy popped out?

Well it was quite funny really because I'd carried James differently to the other two so my mum was convinced he was a girl and had said it so much throughout my pregnancy that when James arrived I was shocked because she'd convinced me I was having a girl. I soon got over the shock though and was glad I had another 'blue' one.

I have so many more questions to ask you, but quite frankly I think I will just remain curious. I do want to leave something to the imagination or maybe for when we ever meet.

Tigs is thinking to herself ... over my dead body.

ROFL!!!!

Sweet it would be a pleasure to meet you...I just hope I'm not a disappoint to you if we ever did, because I'm quite quiet and reserved in person you know....ask Yvette.
