Driving a car - fun or necessity?

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 21 Apr 10

My husband quite enjoys taking the car for a ride just for fun. I on the other side can't see the point in this. I use the car for necessity or convenience, but I would never get it out of the garage without anywhere to go...

Are you stuck due to the Icelandic volvano?

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 19 Apr 10

It's unbelievable what a major impact the volcanic ashes from Iceland have. It's been 5 days now that there is no aviation in Europe. Many of my colleagues are stuck in their holiday location or wherever they've been for work. A...

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 18 Apr 10

Years ago a boyfriend of mine proposed to me. We had one of those on-off relationships and kept breaking up because he kept lying to me. That time we had just got together and he wanted to prove to me that he changed and I could...

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 18 Apr 10

When we think of wedding proposals we think of red roses, candles, soft music and a very romantic ambience. Many couples remember their proposals as very romantic but more often than not I hear that 'we just decided to get...

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 18 Apr 10

I just listened to an interesting discussion on TV about womens chance to have a career whilst being in a child-bearing age. I never had a problem with this and being a married, childless woman has - as far as I am aware - not...

Does the social class one in born into determine how successful you are in life?

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 11 Apr 10

Do you think the above statement is true or not? Does the social class one is born into determine if one is successful in life or not? I think it is easier to be successful if you are born into a rich family - you have money...

Would you adopt a cat from the rescue centre?

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 7 Apr 10

My mother-in-law recently lost her husband and felt quite lonely. So we went out with her to buy a cat. She didn't want kittens, but some more relaxed and older cats. So the obvious choice was the RSPCA and its cat rescue centre....

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 7 Apr 10

My cousin announced not long ago that she is pregnant - 9 weeks to be exact. I was pleased she told me. We are quite close and when she told her parents she wanted me to know. I was surprised though - most people only say it after...

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 7 Apr 10

I must admit, I proposed to my husband when I wanted to get married. Well, he didn't and I was soooo ready. But I know many girls or woman who insist that proposing is the mens job and they wouldn't want to do it. Do you think in...

What is your favourite day-trip out?

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 7 Apr 10

Over the Easter break my husband and I went out for a day-trip to a close by historical house with beautiful gardens. I think a few years ago this would have bored me and I'd have rather gone for drinks or to the cinema. But I...

Girls night in or girls night out?

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 7 Apr 10

Since the recession started my friends and I spend many more good old girly nights in instead of going out for drinks or a meal. We just take it in turn to prepare a nice dinner and everyone brings a nibble or a drink with. It's...

Do you barter for a better price?

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 1 Apr 10

I don't like bartering. I usually just pay the price quoted. But I know that you can save a lot if you do. My father once came with me when I needed a new washing machine AND spin-dryer. He saved me a few hundreds by negotiating a...

Yesterday a colleague really annoyed me. She asked for for help on something she wasn't sure about and which needed to be done urgently. I came over to help, suddenly she got up without a comment and left. I was furious as I had...

Do you give a tip if you are unhappy with the service?

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 1 Apr 10

There was a report on TV the other day that people in the UK are so much against confrontation that they are prepared to pay a tip for services received even if the service was appauling and really bad. I must say that I refused...

How much to pay for an engagement ring?

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 1 Apr 10

I can't remember how much we paid, but I remember that the shop assistant said that a man should spend 3 times his salary on the engagement ring! She wanted my husband to buy a ring I liked less than the one we chose because it...

Do you ever google your name? What's the funniest thing you ever found?

taraelocin @taraelocin (1138) 1 Apr 10

Do you ever google your name? I did and it is quite funny what you can find. Someone who acts as a nude model seems to share my name, so hopefully noone will confuse me with her! So, if you google yourself, what is the...
