11. What is the strangest thing you believed as a child?
The monster under the bed - oh and in the wardrobe. Or behind the curtains. I slept with the light on a lot.

10. How many times a day do you look at yourself in the mirror?
Probably about three times a day - I am a terrible scruff.

I have acute hearing which has only dimmed slightly with age. I can still here the train over a mile away by the way that the track hums. I cannot abide places that have bad accoustics (our local pizza hut has a real problem). Which sense would I do without? Probably sense of smell.

8. When making an entrance in to a party, do you make your presence known? Do you slip in and look for someone you know? Do you sneak in quietly and find a safe spot to roost?
I am not particularly a party-goer; I am far more likely to clam up and stay for the shortest time possible then leave - BUT when it has been one at my friend's house (which is very arty and laid back AND I know most of the people there), then I am happy to just chill, drink, dance etc. I remember drinking too much cabernet sauvignon and wound up play the bongos on my neighbour's lawn til the wee hours. That was an ace party :-)

7. Who is the biggest pack rat you know?
Hubby - I am continually nagging him to get rid of stuff that we simply don't need. He would say me, for the same reason. Never a good mix; two Wombles living together. I tend to go out on a mass throwing out spree, though - to the point of being minimalist. Hubby then sees it as a green light to fill it up with more of HIS junk. Or he will go on a chucking out spree of MY stuff that I want and NEED, which REALLY annoys me - we squabble like kids about it.

6. Do you save old greeting cards and letters? Throw them away?
If they are very beautiful, I keep them. If they aren't, it really depends on who sends them. I have a few that I keep for sentimental reasons - like a forget-me-not one that I had from my late Grandmother. Mostly, it is the people who send them :-)

5. How many days could you last in solitary confinement? How would you do it?
It would depend what I had in my solitary space. If it had books, dvds, pens and/or craft stuff, I would be in my element and you would probably not get me back at any price. If we are talking proper confinement 'Mythbusters - Alaska Special' kind of confinemnt, then no, I would go out of my tree.

4. What do you do if you can’t sleep at night? Do you count sheep? Toss and Turn? Try to get up and do something productive?
I used to be plagued by insomnia, but I have a phone app called 'Brainwave' which has the sound of rain on it. Plus, I listen to Audible books on my Kindle now - some of it is linked to my course i.e. I have listened to Polidori's The Vampire, Robert Louis Stevensons's Jekyll and Hyde, Walpole's Castle of Otranto (though I am only part the way through) and have just started to listen to Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla. For down time, it is definitely Terry Pratchett's 'Nightwatch' Series.

3. How often do you doodle? What do your doodles look like?
I doodle a LOT and I would say that even if they aren't particularly brilliant, I tend to hang on to them, because it describes what I feel better than anythin I could've written. These are a few years old, but I was in a very relaxed place and consequently, the doodles were happy.

1. What are your nicknames? What do you prefer to be called?
Loved ones call me Ro - others just Rosie. Probably I have others that are unprintable; however, there was a tradition with my best friend from school, that she was Yogi Bear and I was Boo Boo. I have carried that on with my sister, though I am the older one now - so I have Yogi's crown :-D
