Ella's Meme

I think you all know enough about me by now but I can't resist a meme - so here goes....

Take a look at your walls at home. Which picture/object is your favorite and why? Bonus points if you post a picture.
We have a few pictures on our walls. My favourite is our son in his cap and gown when he graduated from university. P's is an original painting by an English artist who he studied at school. I bought it from him.

What is/are your favorite perfume(s)?
Channel No 5. I've tried others but I always go back to Channel.  

How many pairs of shoes do you own?  Have you ever hidden new shoes from your spouse? 
Lots and lots. Dare not count them. I have some from years and years ago. Couple I haven't even worn and still in their boxes and yes I have hidden one pair from P. I've just decided to go through them and take most to charity. I can't wear heels any more and I tend to wear the same 3 0r 4 pairs now.

Snacks - Sweet, Salty, or Both?  If you could choose 1 snack, and it magically had no calories, what would it be? 
I try not to snack but if I had to choose it would be lemon drizzle cake and dark chocolate. I love dark chocolate.

What are your favorite cut flowers?
I like Irises and roses but my favourite flower is the humble Daffodil. 

Without using a real name, describe one person in your life with whom you have a hard time being patient.
I'm quite a patient person (or at least I think so) but there was a guy at work who always thought he was right about everything and wouldn't listen to anyone.

What food do you love that your spouse hates?  What food does your spouse love that is "yecch" to you?
There is nothing I eat that P actually hates. He eats tinned tuna and I can't stand it or the smell and black pudding.

What is a song you associate with meeting your honey? 
Not one particular song but I'd only been going out with P for a couple of weeks when he got hard to get tickets to see The Three Degrees which was one of my favourites groups at that time 

Do you have a favorite movie that you like to watch every few months or once a year?
Shawshank Redemption and A Good Year with Russel Crowe.

What collection(s) do you have?  How did your collection start? (Add a picture if you like.)
I've mentioned before that I used to collect unusual chess pieces and orchids but nothing now.

Where would you like to go on your next vacation?  Is there somewhere else on your Bucket List?
There are too many places on my bucket list to pick one. I would still like to get together with friends here and from across the pond. Maybe one day.  

If you could only buy clothes at one store, at what store would you shop? 
I shop at a lot of different places and don't have a favourite.

What gift(s) from your spouse have been the most loved and appreciated?
P's given me lots of gifts over the years but the one that is most loved and appreciated is our son. He's priceless.

Name one item of your spouse's clothing that you would love to throw away.
A pair of black jeans. At least he doesn't wear them out now but he still wont throw them away and I dare not - or maybe I should:)

What is the submissive action (or inaction) of which you are most proud?
Now it's keeping quiet when he's swearing at another driver.

Ella - thanks for a wonderful meme. You can do another one for us please:)

Not around for a few days.

Have a good week.
