49) How many aunts and uncles do you have?
None - both my parents were only children, but I do have a couple of surrogate uncles, like my mum's cousin Ronnie and family friend Simon. My parents had umpteen aunts and uncles and therefore cousins, but they are scattered to the four corners, never to be heard again. In many ways, I envy people with aunts,uncles etc., because there was no sense of extended family for me or my sister. When my parents died, the family tree was cut back to brutal stalks.
