Questions in Quarantine

-

During lock down when facebook wasn't full of COVID posts there were several question and answer posts doing the rounds,  one was a list of questions to ask your child.  I asked the boys but didn't put it on facebook,  not when there's a blog post to be made of it! 

I've had the answers written down for months now so thought I would share. 


Leo was first, and as usual was very literal and slightly sarcastic in his answers


 1. If you won a million pounds, what would you buy?

Nothing because I'm not in England. 

2. How long does it take to get to America?

Depends from where and how you are travelling.

3. What does Mummy always say to you?

"Love you"  or "Leave me alone I'm eating"

4. What job would you like to do when you're older?

A good one, that pays well and I enjoy

5. What is the capital of England?

'E'  (then after my rolling my eyes and repeating the question with the word city in it ) London

6. Where do babies come from?

A woman's belly

7. At what age do you become an adult?

18

8. If you could change one rule in your family house, what would it be?

To give me permission to change all the rules.

9. If you could be a superhero, what superpower would you have?

The superpower to have every superpower. 

10. What would you do to save the world?

From what? Totally depends on what problem is.  If it was zombies I'd make an antidote, if it was an invasion of giant butts I'd buy all the toilet paper and go and live on the moon.
(more eye rolling from me) - I  don't know - if the whole world can't figure it out why can I?

11. If you could eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?

Does it have to be a thing that exists?  I would eat a food that contains all the food I like. 
Ok,  Chinese   (a great answer as it still didn't tie him down to one thing!) 

12. How much does it cost to buy a house?

Depends what type.   (Me: this house for example)   Over 25 thousand 

13. Why do you think we should be nice to people?

So we don't go into complete madness

14. What is love?

A song   (he means What is Love - Haddaway)

15. What are you scared of?

Don't know

16. What is so important to you?

Water. (on seeing the look of suprise on my face, he went on to add we would all die without it so there is nothing more important)


I made sure he hadn't listened to Leo's answers and then I asked Louka the same questions, 



1. If you won a million pounds, what would you buy?

Food.  (I replied, 'That's a lot of food')   Yes,  I like food but I can also give some away. 

2. How long does it take to get to America?

I have no idea.

3. What does Mummy always say to you?

Love you.

4. What job would you like to do when you're older?

Don't know.

5. What is the capital of England?

London.

6. Where do babies come from?

The stomach

7. At what age do you become an adult?

18

8. If you could change one rule in your family house, what would it be?

Never clean.

9. If you could be a superhero, what superpower would you have?

The power to make everyone happy.

10. What would you do to save the world?

Make food free.  (there's a definite theme going on here!)

11. If you could eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?

Chicken Royale.

12. How much does it cost to buy a house?

Depends what type but a lot.

13. Why do you think we should be nice to people?

Because they have feelings.

14. What is love?

Something special.

15. What are you scared of?

Nothing.

16. What is so important to you?

Everyone.



I love hearing what they come out with with things like this,  and looking back on previous years.   I am so glad that I did their 'Birthday interviews' each year and also the fact that I videoed them which I hadn't intended to do at first.   It's amazing to look back on how they have changed.

I've never written this blog as if no-one was reading it, although of course when I first started no-one was reading it as no-one knew about it.  I was trying to remember the exact reasons I started it, and I think the number one was to document our move to Cyprus,   I can't imagine that I would have thought anything else would have been worth reading but that would have been interesting,  I'd have certainly enjoyed reading someone else's story, and have done many times.  I also thought it would be something to do, and a great thing to look back on,  I realised it was an important point in my life,  new Mum and moving abroad.  I was right, I do enjoy occasionally looking back over old posts,  some I hate but overall I'm pretty proud of my blog.  I do miss it, and considered many times stopping and taking it offline.  I never wanted to officially end it though and so always left it here just in case.  Back in November 2022 I wro...

My best Slimming World recipe EVER! - Cheesy Meatball Pasta Bake

-

Since going back to Slimming World at the start of January I've been making an effort to try some new recipes and keep varying my food every day. Although there is an endless choice when it comes to what you 'can' eat with Slimming World, like anything it's all too easy to fall into a habit of eating the same things day in and day out.  I have many SW cookbooks as well as a folder with lots of recipes that I've collected from the magazine over the years, I've actually made very few though! Last week I decided to try a new one out, and I wish I'd made it sooner! Cheesy Meatball Pasta Bake was a massive hit with the whole family and possibly one of the best main Slimming World meals I've ever made! You need... For the meatballs - 500g extra lean pork mince 6 finely chopped spring onions Dried herbs ( I used about a teaspoon each of basil and oregano) 1tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp tomato puree For the sauce - 1 finely chop...
