1)What is your favourite television show currently on the telly?

Well I don't watch much TV, but Countryfile is always worth pulling up on iplayer! Any show about farming/country life is good with me!

2)Do you have a pet(s)? What kind? How many?

No. Boo. Stupid renting.

Yes I do. Every morning.  My whole house can be falling down around me and minging. But I HATE having a messy bed.

4)Would you rather change your past or know your future?

Know my future

5)Do you believe in Miracles? Have you ever experienced one?

Miracles, no- but coincidences and positive will power can do a lot!

1)What is your favourite television show currently on the telly?
I just started watching Breaking Bad and I like it a lot, or Game of Thrones. Although it's terrible I do have a major soft spot for Grey's Anatomy as I've been watching it for so long, also I think I might have too much in common with Yang, so it's good to watch her react to stuff.

2)Do you have a pet(s)? What kind? How many?

No. I really want a cat though  

3)Do you make your bed every day?

No, I've never made my bed ever.

4)Would you rather change your past or know your future?

Neither! I'm pretty happy with my life right now and wouldn't want to change that, and part of teh fun of life is not knowing what would happen next.

5)Do you believe in Miracles? Have you ever experienced one?

I don't believe in anything like this, I always get a but of stick on here when this topic comes up as my views are quite on the extreme - don't personally believe, secretly think that people who do are a bit crazy - side.

1)What is your favourite television show currently on the telly?

Homeland. Wouldn't miss it. Except last night. I'm in the Lake District so there's my excuse.

2)Do you have a pet(s)? What kind? How many?

No pets. No thanks!

3)Do you make your bed every day?

Yes, unless I am in a hotel, in which I throw caution to the wind! Ah who am I kidding. I better go make that bed.

4)Would you rather change your past or know your future?

If I had to make a choice: Past. I believe in free will, so my future can only be what I make it anyway.

5)Do you believe in Miracles? Have you ever experienced one?

No to both. Miracles are not my kind of thing.

1)What is your favourite television show currently on the telly?
Big Bang Theory

2)Do you have a pet(s)? What kind? How many?
My beloved greyhound Davie died 10 months ago.  I don't think I will get another dog, no matter how broody I am for one!

3)Do you make your bed every day?
 I leave it open to breathe/air-out during the day, and my partner makes it up again just before we get into it again at night!

4)Would you rather change your past or know your future?
Definitely change my past!  I have made some really, really bad mistakes.

5)Do you believe in Miracles? Have you ever experienced one?
No.  I use the word, but I don't mean it literally.

Should we start a new topic for each week? Then older weekly questions can be added to, discussed, fall to the wayside etc...

We can sure do that if people like!  I'll have to get back to it a bit later to split it & tidy up the separate week's headings, so bear with me. 

Thanks kbeech06 for taking it forward!  You get to pick next week's question-picker. 

1)What is your favourite television show currently on the telly?

Have I Got News for You (new season) - it's all we're watching presently, apart from the occasional languid random channel surfing (or BBC News which I don't really count).  We don't watch much TV & are kinda particular what we do watch.

2)Do you have a pet(s)? What kind? How many?

No pets.  We are a bit of a dog/cat divide couple, but we do like both.  DH would probably love having a dog, but we both accept that our lifestyles wouldn't be fair to the dog (being left for long periods of the day, in the kennel a lot while we are travelling etc = not nice).  I'd love having a cat, but members of DH's family are allergic so we don't.  I usually had a cat in the US though.

3)Do you make your bed every day?

Nope, I fluff up the pillows & throw the duvet back every morning to air the bed all day long.  Then it's ready for us to just crawl back in at night.

4)Would you rather change your past or know your future?

Neither.  I made lots of mistakes in the past, but they are all what brought me to where I am now so I wouldn't change that.  As for the future, I prefer to be (hopefully) pleasantly surprised.

5)Do you believe in Miracles? Have you ever experienced one?

No, and no.

1)What is your favourite television show currently on the telly?

Oh gosh, I can't choose cause they're each so different! Game of Thrones, Fringe, and Mad Men.

2)Do you have a pet(s)? What kind? How many?

Yes, one yellow lab who just turned 11. 

3)Do you make your bed every day?

Not at all. I make it on the day I change the sheets and that's it.  I sometimes did in the UK because it was just a duvet and all you have to do is throw the thing back up over the mattress. Now that I'm back in the US with the comforter/flat sheet situation...meh, no chance of that happening! 

4)Would you rather change your past or know your future?

Neither. If I changed even the tiniest thing in my past, I wouldn't be who I am or where I am today. I couldn't get on with my life properly knowing my future. That's like reading the last chapter of the book to see how it turns out or something. I much prefer enjoying the ride! 

5)Do you believe in Miracles? Have you ever experienced one?

No and no.

1)What is your favourite television show currently on the telly?

Currently, Criminal Minds and Grimm. I am getting into Touch, but Kiefer is looking more and more like his dad every week, and I find that depressing.

2)Do you have a pet(s)? What kind? How many?

Since being here, no, but we had a canary, parakeets and hamsters (one hamster at a time, except when we bought a pregnant one, and we kept one, gave two away and took three back to the pet shop) and will more than likely get a pet when we get back to the States.

3)Do you make your bed every day?

Only cos hubby prefers to have it made, but with a quick flip of the duvet from each of us on our own side, it is done in seconds.

4)Would you rather change your past or know your future?

Change my past. I like the adventure of not knowing the future. I would definitely stick with college and not party my way out if I could do it again. I'd also skip a couple of my rebel bad boy boyfriends I had in my very early 20s. Of course, one of them is the reason I partied my way out of college. 

5)Do you believe in Miracles? Have you ever experienced one?

Yes, and yes.

1)What is your favourite television show currently on the telly?

Mad Men, Walking Dead & the Killing. Like cheesebiscuit, I also have a soft spot for Grey’s Anatomy and I’ll probably watch it until Meredith or Cristina leave.

2)Do you have a pet(s)? What kind? How many?

I have a fiance

3)Do you make your bed every day?

I make it every afternoon.

4)Would you rather change your past or know your future?

Neither. I think that’s what makes life interesting, but if I had to choose, there are a few things in the past I wish had gone differently.

5)Do you believe in Miracles? Have you ever experienced one?

Nope and nope.

Oh I'm a big Walking Dead fan! 

I just didn't put that one on mine, because the season is done for now so I wasn't thinking of it.  Also, a big fan of Dr Who, Torchwood, and Being Human.  And we like the occasional BBC drama series - like when they did the Crimson Petal & the White, Birdsong, and White Heat more recently.

1)What is your favourite television show currently on the telly?

I don't have a favorite.  I do like the cooking competitions like MasterChef and Great British Menu.  I also like Escape to the Country and Come Dine With Me (a guilty pleasure!)

2)Do you have a pet(s)? What kind? How many?

Our neighbor's cat Dylan hangs out with us a lot.

3)Do you make your bed every day?
Most days.  I let it air out sometimes and opt not to make it.  Or if I'm off work, I'll open the windows, let things air and then make the bed later on.

4)Would you rather change your past or know your future?
Like some of you said, neither.  The past, including our mistakes, make us who we are today, and I think I'd rather not know the future (but anyway, I believe the future is fluid and our free will has a very big role to play.).

5)Do you believe in Miracles? Have you ever experienced one?
[/quote][/color]
Sure, why not--I believe in so many things that it would be inconsistent not to believe in miracles.  I have never experienced one, but I have experienced other things that would make you scratch your head in disbelief. 

1)What is your favourite television show currently on the telly?
On TV right now, as in showing new episodes each week? Or just current and due to debut sometime in the next year? It's hard, I watch way too much tv. Probably Mad Men although I also really like How I Met Your Mother and have a soft spot for the train wrecks of Grey's and Gossip Girl. When True Blood comes back for the new season I'll be pretty obsessed (mmm....Eric...) and I really, really, really hope that the IT Crowd gets a new series because it consistently makes me literally laugh out loud the entire time.

2)Do you have a pet(s)? What kind? How many?
I have one cat.

3)Do you make your bed every day?
Definitely not. I barely make it up when I change the sheets. Even though I'm in the US, I hate flat sheets and inevitably end up kicking them down to the end of the bed in my sleep so I don't usually use them. So I just have comforters with duvet covers but I still can't be bothered! I sleep with three of them, though, because I'm ALWAYS cold and hate being cold while sleeping.

4)Would you rather change your past or know your future?
There are things in my past that I'd really like to change.

5)Do you believe in Miracles? Have you ever experienced one?
No and no. I'm with cheesebiscuit on this one.
