Thank you for these! (And I *promise* I'm getting round to doing all the fic asks in a minute too!)
1] what's your favourite kitchen appliance?
This is a bit like asking who your favourite child is, but overall its probably my instant pot. I use it most days to cook rice, and occasionally to make yoghurt, or as a slow cooker, or as a quick way of doing dried beans. Its such a great appliance!
5] what's your favourite piece of furniture and where did you get it?
Our tv stand! We'd been looking for a tv stand for absolutely ages, and there's a British Heart Foundation charity shop in town that specialises in second hand furniture. We kept going in there on the off-chance they'd have what we wanted, and one day - there it was. Exactly the right height, length, with shelves for all our gaming systems, draws, and the price? It had been reduced from ÂŁ80 to twenty quid because one of the drawers wouldn't shut properly. My husband's dad is a handyman, and we thought ÂŁ20? Bargain, he'll be able to fix it, and even if he can't its too much of a bargain to pass up. So we got it home, and realised that the only reason the drawer was stuck was because a roll of sellotape had fallen behind it. So we got our perfect tv stand AND a free roll of tape for ÂŁ20!
15] do you collect anything?
Coloured pencils. I have sooooo many!
26] do you make a list before going to the grocery store or just wing it?
I keep a grocery list in the kitchen which I add to whenever anything runs out, and which I absolutely invariably forget literally every time I go shopping. So... both?
27] what's your favourite household chore?
Do people have favourites? Ummm... does cooking count? Because if so, cooking. Or maybe weeding the garden?
29] do you have houseplants and how are you at keeping them alive?
We've had one peace lily for about 15 years, and he's thriving. His name is Gee-offrey (with a hard 'G') and literally a week ago we repotted him and thought we'd like some more. So we have since bought him two new friends - another peace lily named Gee-orge, and a whatever this is
His name is Gee-eneral Tso
