A meme, snaffled from oddishly

1. What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now?
I don't use soap in the shower, only shampoo. Does that count? In which case, it's Tresemme something or other.

2. Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator?
No, should I?

3. Is there anything moldy in your refrigerator?
Mouldy, no, possibly liquifying though, that's a different matter. I think there's a bag of mixed salad leaves that needs disposing of.

4. What would you change about your living room?
In order to make the necessary change I'd need a house elf to tidy up after me.

5. White or wheat/brown bread?
White please, fresh and crusty.

6. What color is your sofa?
Orange

7. What color or design is on your shower curtain?
We've got one plastic seethrough one with white swirls, and one glass one with no swirls.

8. How many plants are in your home?
One, and it shouldn't be. We have a Virginia creeper growing up the front bay window that keeps creeping under the floor boards and coming up behind the radiator and skirting board in the hall.

9. Is your bed made right now?
Nope, it's never made, that's what duvets are for. And right now it's occupied by my hubby.

10. Do you drink out of glass or plastic most of the time at home?
I've got a plastic pint cup from the Latitude Festival which I should probably throw away - it's so old all the flowers and writing has worn off.

11. How many pillows do you sleep with?
One. It's an Ikea memory foam shaped one and it's awesome.

12. Do you sleep with any lights on at night?
Nope but we have the window and blinds open so we have street lights.

13. How many ceiling fans are in your home?
None - we don't tend to have such sophistication here in the UK.

14. How often do you vacuum?
Rarely. It makes me angry so Hubby does it.

15. What color is your toothbrush?
White and blue

16. Do you have a welcome mat on your front porch?
Don't have a porch.

17. Is there anything under your bed?
Four lidded, wheeled boxes of clothes on my side of the bed, gawd knows what Paul keeps under his side. Plenty of fluff and dust on both sides, for sure.

18. Chore you hate doing the most?
All of them.

19. Do you have any hidden emergency money around your home?
Not on purpose though there is money all over the show. Little pots of coppers and small change upstairs and downstairs.

20. What color are your walls?
Living room is blue, hall is kind of pale peach with darker peach under the dado rail, wiggly bit leading to the morning room is deep sunshine yellow, morning room is same yellow, kitchen is white, ex-computer room is pale blue and silver, our bedroom is pale yellow, spare bedroom is pale green, back bedrooms are white with blue and yellow stripes. Well, you did ask.

21. What does your home smell like right now?
I can't tell, I've been sitting in it. Probably damp.

22. Favorite candle scent?
Can't see the point of scented candles.

23. Who are in the pictures you display?
Oh boy, really? I'll just do the living room and only ones with people in, as we have a house full of pictures. So in here are - Julius Caesar; two blokes playing hockey on a Barcelona Olympic poster; signed photos of Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman I got them to autograph at the Goodwood Festival of Speed; Paul's dad with some speedway rider I don't know; Dean Winchester by chomaisky (thanks my darling, I still love it and I miss you!).

24. Do you have plenty of cabinet space in your kitchen?
No!

25. Ever been on your roof?
Yes, I was up there just a few weeks ago with our roofer while he showed me how rotten our timbers were. Since then we've had the whole lot replaced at vast expense... *sigh*

26. How many TVs do you have?
One. No point in having more than that, especially when we both have laptops and can watch stuff on there.

27. What style do you decorate in?
Style. What's that?

28. What temperature in your home is most comfortable to you?
Probably around whatever it is now - 17-18ºC.

If it's too warm in the house I fall asleep all the time. But around 17-18ºC is ok, as long as I have a nice fleece and maybe a blanket round my feet!

"signed photos of Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman I got them to autograph at the Goodwood Festival of Speed;" I'm so jealous! I loved their Long Way Round expedition.. Sorry about your roof timbers being rotten. I like the mix of colours on your walls, and your answer to #2 made me laugh!

Those two trips they did were so much fun! I think this was after the first one and before the second but I can't quite remember. They were there with those big BMW motorbikes, and I actually got their autographs on several different things because it was a melee situation so you could just keep handing them stuff. Ewan wasn't allowed to sign anything Star Wars related but everything else was fair game.
