I will occasionally go elsewhere for fruit, veg or meat but generally just go to Morrisons for everything weekly.

TPBM specially chooses calendars every year. (Fave team, animal etc)

Yes and no. My SIL usually makes me one with the dudes/nephews on it. If I had to pay, I would!

TPBM is on a laptop right now.

True. We converted to laptops when we moved over here, and I don't think either of us would go back to a desktop now.

TPBM can change a car tire (tyre) without help.

True. I've done it more times than I care to count! I've become pretty good at it!

TPBM has a fun weekend planned

More of a quiet weekend this weekend. We have plans for next weekend but are going to keep it simple this weekend unless something comes up.

TPBM has discovered a new fave food since moving here.

I can't think of anything.  But my hubby's cooking is really nice and I never had that back in the US!

TPBM really misses a particular food they no longer have (due to moving to the UK or some other reason).

True. Lots of them, but one in particular is a big, juicy steak done 'properly' like they do in the steakhouses of the US or we do on the grill at family cookouts... and root beer although it isn't a food.

TPBM writes a shopping list each week.

VERY true, I'm really into lists..


TPBM has a tendency to procrastinate on things that need to get done..

False. I am a bit of a collector, including things with sentimental value. I'm nowhere near the realm of needing therapy for it, but I could part with some things instead of hanging onto them.

TPBM goes to the library regularly.

True. I am not sure if we will hit the pub, in costume, with friends or if we will stay in and have a monster movie marathon, but either is okay with me.

TPBM enjoys making Christmas/birthday gifts instead of buying them.

I do, but I usually do a little combo of both so that I don't get called cheap.  This will be the first year in a long time that I don't send out about 75 handmade Christmas cards too.  I just couldn't justify the postage. 

TPBM would rather crawl back in bed today than do whatever it is they are doing...

So very, very true! It is rainy and gloomy and we are off to the in-laws to sit and wait for the Virgin installation guys to come. They are getting an upgraded package with broadband and hubby needs to be there because the in-laws don't go online (it is for us and the nephews with laptops while visiting, since it came with the package). It could be anywhere from 1 - 5, which means we will wait and wait and they will come at 4:45.

TPBM tries to do something new at least once a week.

No, but it's a good idea!  I'm lucky if I do something new once a month.  :-\\\\
