| Cooking |
I like to cook and trying different recipes I have a folder full of pages ripped from magazines, but I like a night off too! I love baking cakes, and my colleagues love me baking cakes too! I like a variety of foods and will try almost anything.
|
| Shopping |
I like shopping, but not every weekend, now and again will do. A couple of hours is normally enough!
|
| DIY |
Quite an independent lady, do my own decorating, picture hanging, and small repairs/maintenance if able. Change my own tyres (car not mine) oil top-up. I'll have a go before I call a man in!
|
| Housework |
I like a tidy and clean home but i'm definitely NOT OCD! It can't always be a priority.
|
| Dining out |
Love eating out, and trying different restaurants and cultural dishes. I'll try almost anything; mexican, indian, chinese, thai, cantonese, moroccon, spanish, turkish, french, italian, etc etc etc
|
| Movies |
It would be easier to say what I don't like; can't do horrors any more, i'm far too jumpy, can't watch anything stressful just before going to bed, i'd need to watch something funny afterwards! Love comedy, documentary, action, intrigue, thriller, true story.
|
| Theatre |
I like the theatre, the last show I saw was children of the wolf, and prior to that, was a panto. Would like to see some Shakespeare, it's on my to-do list.
|
| Music |
Enjoy a variety of different music, some 50s, 60's, 70,s and I was an 80s teenager so some fond memories of those. My ipod has a variety of Stereophonics, Paul Weller, Carpenters, Snow Patrol, the Jacksons, Robbie Williams, Rush, the Undertones, Roberta Flack, Santana, Adele, Simon & Garfunkel for example
|
| Gigs |
Occasional concert goer; last one was Robbie Williams and Take That, i've also seen Sting, Texas, and a couple of the multi-artist gigs.
|
| Pubs |
Visit pubs at weekends generally with friends and family.
|
| Clubbing |
Not really into clubbing any more. Been there, done it!
|
| Newspapers and magazines |
I buy a Sunday newspaper which usually takes me a week to read (due to demands on time), either Mail on Sunday or sometimes the Times. I like the magazines with the weekend papers, don't buy the others they're full of ads!
|
| Books |
Currently reading The Guts by Roddy Doyle on the strength of my love of his film the Commitments which I have always loved! Recently finished a Ken Follet, and the next book is Adele's biography.
|
| TV |
For a start I can't abide British soaps. I like drama, comedy/drama, nature, documentary, crime/thriller, some history, some chat shows, some sport
|
| Watching sport |
I like watching the big tournaments, football and rugby, tennis, and the olympics. I went to the football world-cup in France in 98, and attempted (like millions of others) to get tickets for the Olympics, but hey-ho it wasn't to be.
|
| Playing sport |
I train for martial arts 2-3 times per week, a combination of physical and technical training. I've also been (but not so much now) swimming and cycling for fitness and used to play netball.
|
| Hobbies |
After all of the above there isn't a great deal of time for much more! I walk my dog twice each day, go to work each day, train 2-3 times each week, socialise with friends and family usually at weekends and try to relax a bit too. I've been studying part-time too for personal fulfilment.
