Oh I'm a big Walking Dead fan!  :D

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.

I really enjoy Being Human. I haven't gotten into Torchwood yet. I've seen parts of it and it's definitely on my ever growing list of things to watch.


Thanks, aimlesstravler, I love me so True Blood as well (more of a Bill fan, but I wouldn't kick Eric or Alcede out of bed either)!

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

I love The Great British Menu!  Also, Homeland and Once Upon A Time get me excited every week.  I am really looking forward to new Doctor Who. 

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

No, I am among the petless renters.  There is a big fluffy ginger cat who lives upstairs who kind of feels like a pet of ours though, as he's always trying to get into our flat! 

3)Do you make your bed every day?

Heck no.  I'm pressed enough in the morning.

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

Change my past. 

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

No and no.

Tu seras mon unique projet.

Je t'aimais, je t'aime, et je t'aimerai.

Great questions! Who knew so many people "aired" their beds?  ;D

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

If I am in charge of the TV, I love Come Dine With Me and Grand Designs. Stuff R has got me into: Mad Men, Apprentice, and Al-Jazeera news.  ::)

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

I have a cat named Albus who has lived with my sister since my move in 2006. I miss him so much it hurts!  :\\\'(

3)Do you make your bed every day?

Left to my own devices, no. R tends to make it though.

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

Neither

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


Yes! Yes!

I really love Fringe and have been watching Once Upon a Time lately too

2)Do you have a pet(s)? What kind? How many?
I have a dog named Watson.  He is a tibetan spaniel and will love the cooler weather after we move to England.

3)Do you make your bed every day?
Naw and I also can't stand flat sheets so just use a duvet


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

I think I might change one or two things in the past if I had the chance


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

No but I do think some amazing things happen and are pretty difficult to explain!

Some really good questions this week, kbeech06!!!  Be thinking about who you'd like to pick for next week's questions - as far as I'm concerned, you can nominate your person anytime you like from Friday through Monday. (I thought about it being a weekend thing, but I've been kinda late to it the first two weeks myself!  :P)

Hope a few more come on in & play on this week's too!  :)

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

My guilty pleasure that I've been following for 8 years - Desperate Housewives.  Homeland is a close 2nd.  Enjoyed the Syndicate but that ended last week.


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

Yes, we adopted a Westie in January and named her Lola.  L-O-L-A, Lola.


3)Do you make your bed every day?

Yes, including 4 bed pillows and 6 decorative pillows. I love the way it looks when it's made.


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

Neither.  If I changed my past, I probably wouldn't be who or where I am today. I wouldn't want to know the future, that would take the fun out of it.


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

Nope x 2.

Yes, including 4 bed pillows and 6 decorative pillows. I love the way it looks when it's made.

I've always wondered what does one do with all of those pillows at night? Do you put them on the floor (kind of ew, considering then you put them on the bed all day) or a chair or something? I know that pillow shams and decorative pillows are a big thing because I see them a lot in stores and movies but I don't get them. Enlighten me? :)

I just like the way they dress up the bed. When I lived in the states, I had a California King bed (huge). On it were 6 bed pillows and 11 decorative pillows. I guess it's just my thing. :D

The ones I have now are smaller (much smaller bed), so I just stack them on a chair when we go to bed.

When I was in a bad accident a few years ago, I used to use my pillows to wedge under me to alleviate all my aches and pains.  I also have restless leg syndrome, so I often wedge a pillow under my legs. I just love pillows. :D

Oh don't get me wrong, I love pillows. I sleep alone and I have 6 in the bed, they just all stay there when I sleep and none are really decorative. :) I actively use about 4 when I sleep and the rest I like to use to stack up when I read or use my laptop in bed.

I dream of having a king size bed someday. I love spreading out in one when I'm staying at a hotel, even by myself. I don't really like sleeping with someone else in a full bed, it just isn't really spacious enough.

We're counting down until we are back in our California King. We went from it (acres of space each) to a UK double which is tiny in comparison, and now we are in what MIL calls a three quarter bed, which is almost impossible for two bed hogs to share.  ::)

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

I don't watch a lot of television. But the only thing I watch with consistency is Coronation Street. [smiley=curtain.gif]

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

Yes! Two cats and a Westie. They are my babies!

3)Do you make your bed every day?

I try to, but it doesn't always happen.

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

I'd like to change three things from the past. I don't care if it changed who I am or had a knockdown effect on future events. Because I would do anything to save utter devastation and heartache (and that served zero purpose) on my family and me that.

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

Yes and yes
