On a Friday, could we feast? Well we could have, but now it's Saturday bed-time!

Appetizer
Name a trait you share with your parents or your children.
I am so much like both my mother and my father it is scary, this question should be "name a trait you don't share with your parents"! Like my mum ... I leave things to the last minute, thriving on a fast approaching deadline. Just like my dad ... I'd never dream of being sarcastic! It wouldn't even occur to me ;o)

Soup
List 3 qualities of a good leader, in your opinion.
Humility, a sense of humour and understanding/acceptance of the differing qualities of individuals!



Salad
Who is your favorite television chef?
Nigel Slater, not really a chef more of a food writer BUT he just makes food so bloody sexy and so much fun ... I could have orgasmed over his chip butty. I mean I got very excited over his excitement as he made ... oh never mind!

Main Course
Share a story about a gift you received from someone you love.
Simon and I had such a fantastic wedding day; the company of family and amazing friends, incredible food and cocktails galore truly made it a day to remember ... and then there was the speech that Simon was not going to make.

"That's fine" I said, "we just need to thank everyone for being here, thank Kev for cooking and thanks my parents for shopping*!" "No problem!" he said; but instead he said "thankyou for marrying me" and he gave me diamonds and whispered "forever!" Brought tears to my eyes!

Dessert
How do you react under pressure?
Like my mum, I react well to pressure. In fact I don't react if everything is relaxed because I'm quite laid-back** about it all! Give me a deadline :o)

* For wine :o)
** Read horizontal

Lisa ~ I think those qualities are so important in anyone, leader, family or friend!

And Simon ... he's just a big old softy!
