TGIF – Five Question Friday
1. What was the first car you owned?
When I first passed my test, when I was twenty-one (eons ago!!), I just borrowed my then-boyfriend / now-husband’s car. He had a Ford Escort at the time. I only needed to use the car at weekends or in the evening, as I commuted to work by bus.
I didn’t actually get my own car until I was pregnant with the girls. We were going to simply upgrade our little Rover 25 to a bigger family car. However, we ended up keeping the smaller car for Hubby to use and buy a bigger car for me to use. Therefore, we bought a Renault Scenic. I have another Scenic now, and Hubby has another smaller car – a wee Chevvy! 
2. What song are you embarrassed to know the lyrics to?
Oooooooh!! This is a good one! There’s a few I suppose. I was going to say something like “The Chicken Song”, “Star Trekkin’” by the Cast of Spitting Image or “Superman” by Black Lace, as these are really cheesy annoying songs. However, I’m sure that most people who grew up in the UK during the 80s would remember these lyrics.
Therefore, I think I’ll opt for “We Don’t Talk Anymore” by sir Cliff Richard. *cringe*
3. Have you ever had stitches?
Yes, I split my head open when I was about eight years old. I had just got new glasses, and so was not yet used to the prescription. I tripped and fell when setting the table at home, and I whacked my head off the hard arm of my parents’ leather sofa.
I hadn’t realised I’d split my head open until my dad came rushing over and shouted to my mum:
“OMG! Annette’s split her head open! It’s like a big gaping hole!!”
I then noticed all the blood and wailed:
“Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! I’m gonna die! I’m gonna die! I’m gonna die!!”
This scared the heck out of my two-year-old sister, who was soooo relieved to see me, alive and well, but with a partially-shaved head and stitches, when I returned from casualty a couple of hours later! L
The only other time I’ve had stitches was when I had my girls by emergency caesarean section.
4. What was your first job?
I had a paper round in my teens, delivering the Glasgow Evening Times after school, Monday to Friday plus a Saturday morning. I also delivered the Sunday morning papers, which was back-breaking due to all the Sunday supplements!
When I was sixteen I got promoted to a weekend sales assistant at the newsagents, where I served behind the counter on Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings.
5. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character?
It has to be Oscar, the resident grouch! I still love grouchy characters in TV shows! They’re so much more interesting than goody-two-shoes!!
