The 100 Questions Meme

Busy? Best move along.
Nosy? Read on....

I picked up this meme from Cherrypie's blog and decided to give it a go as it is as good a distraction as any from what I really SHOULD be doing :)

Here goes.................

Four drawings of Odie and Garfield, a belated birthday pressie from my two nephews, Alex (8) and Dominic (5), budding artists.

5. WHEN’S THE LAST TIME YOU WORKED OUT?
May, before the sponsored run that ripped my back!

If not, sausages, Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower, spinach, red cabbage, thick yummy gravy over the top. Slurp.

Oh, and I filled in lots of those forms in the back of magazines so that she would get lots of embarrassing junk mail too.

Am I evil?
