Joyce provides the questions each week and you can join in the fun here.
1. No foolin'! April is here. What's one fun thing on your April calendar?
Hubby turns 70 on Good Friday so we'll be celebrating at home with an afternoon tea with my daughter, our elder son and their families.
2. It's often said, 'A fool and his money are soon parted'...what's the last thing you wasted money on?
I signed up for an online fitness programme but thankfully didn't waste any money as I cancelled before the free trial period was over. But I have never been bombarded with so many e-mails, many of which were trying to get me to sign on up for extras and so on.
I did waste money on paying a penalty charge notice my hubby incurred when doing a friend a favour recently. He agreed to take some rubbish to the main rubbish and recycling centre but unfortunately he drove through a stretch of road that is for buses only and, of course, they have cameras in place to catch any offenders. I was really annoyed at that.
3. April 2nd is National DIY day. Are you a do-it yourself kind of person or maybe you're married to one? If so, what's the last thing you DIY-ed. If you're not a DIY-er what's the most recent job you had to hire someone to complete?
Ha well my husband is so not a DIY person. In fairness he probably could just about assemble IKEA furniture but not on his own lol. I'm much more likely to tackle a DIY project but nothing too complicated. We recently had people in to make storage/display units in our living room which we're really pleased with.
4. Do you eat lamb? If so do you have a favourite dish that calls for lamb?
I do eat lamb and we often have lamb steaks but a roast dinner with lamb is one of my favourites.
5. Do you fit a stereotype in some way? Explain.
Well I hope not but I wouldn't be the best judge of that.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Answers on a postcard please. (or comments lol) What do you get a 70 year old for their birthday when they don't want to acknowledge they're turning 70? My current dilemma.
A gift card is always my go-to gift these days because I never know what to get people. The 70s club isn't so bad. I'm three years into it and life is good. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Wendy. My husband has assembled a good number of IKEA shelves, but other than that and painting we aren't much into DIY. We always hire the experts, but it sure would be cheaper if we could do more. Happy birthday to your hubby. My husband will turn the big 7-0 in October. Have a good week. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have a lovely celebration for your husbands birthday! Good luck with getting him a gift, my dad is a bit over 70 and refuses to acknowledge his age too. lol
ReplyDeleteThat is so annoying when you sign up to something and they bombard you with emails.
Happy birthday to your hubs. What about tickets to something he might not splurge on for himself. We don't need a lot and I love finding live music tickets, shows, or special exhibitions to give as gifts. Sounds like you have a nice family celebration planned.
ReplyDeleteI get physically ill if I know I have wasted money. It's like food waste - I try not to waste but sometimes, I will buy something, and we don't like it. I hope your husband enjoys being 70. I am 71 and it's okay. No different than being 70!
