6?

How many windows do you have open right now?

wolftrap · Dec 18, 2020 at 07:29 PM

None - it's freezing out there!

What book have you read multiple times? Mine is The Hobbit. I first read it in 4th grade and re-read it every year or so.

A New Hampshire backcountry skiing guide. Go through it whenever conditions are good or its summer and I’m sick of heat.

In your opinion, what is the best mythological creature?

pekoetea · Dec 19, 2020 at 01:13 AM

I love the Phoenix and what it symbolizes, very fitting in rebuilding my life.

What's the greatest meal you make in your opinion?

Dec 19, 2020 at 08:01 AM

toad in the hole with fresh batter and sausages

what is one self-care activity you have to do every day as part of your rooteen

wolftrap · Dec 19, 2020 at 11:49 AM

Stretch out my neck and legs. I get awfully tight, which then effects my ability to do stuff and thus my mood.

How many times do you shop for groceries in a week?

Fuzzybear · Dec 19, 2020 at 06:41 PM

Once usually

Have you ever owned an unusual pet? (Or if not (?)) what is the favourite pet you’ve had?

Dec 20, 2020 at 05:46 AM

when I was really young, I knew a woman called sarah (she took me too and from school)

well: before she left her job, she gave me a box and said it was a gift.. and inside their was my very own chin-chilla!. the shock on my mom's face.. I will never forget it.
how did you get too and from school? (bus, car, walk etc)

Miss Laura · Dec 20, 2020 at 05:53 AM

Walked I live right in the middle of nursery school, primary school and secondary school. I live 10 mins from all 3.

Question: if your currently on lock down or will be through the Christmas period how are you going to cope mentally? I know we are all in the same boat but maybe helps and tips might help people?

Dec 21, 2020 at 05:36 AM

I'm just going to be using this forum, and talking to my online friends as much as I can. I think it would be a good idea if their was a thread on here (somewhere) that talked about people struggling a lot with the lockdown, and then people who reply in it... others could reach out on a regular bases to see how they are coping. it's just a thought I had.

what is your weakest subject? (school subject, mine's math)

Miss Laura · Dec 21, 2020 at 05:49 AM

Maths too.... I have a maths disability called Dyscalculia. I would love to do Maths just don't have the comprehension of it tbh.

Question: What support is there in your local area for mental health? Is there help lines to call at night etc? Could be national too

The thread How are you all dealing with coronavirus and the restrictions many of us have to live seems quite active.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

I've called a couple helplines in my time.

not so much samaratans anymore, but papyrus was good when I was feeling low

and when it was active the helpline for bipolar UK's mentoring service. that was useful to access

and I've used anxiety UK

I particularly enjoyed the first Christmas I spent with my husband's family in Czech Republic many years ago. My mother-in-law was still alive (even my mom, youngest nephew, and paternal grandmother were, but they were in the US), it was a winter wonder land, my husband's family practiced all Christmas traditions, the food was delicious, and everyone was very happy.

What do you look forward to most about 2021?

Dec 22, 2020 at 08:17 AM

the possibility of moving back to my birth city, depending on covid, of course.

how big is your bedroom?

Fuzzybear · Dec 22, 2020 at 08:57 AM

About 8 metres by 4 metres.

Favourite fairground ride?

what is the music express?. my guess is a train that plays music, but I'd rather ask than assume

Dec 23, 2020 at 05:49 AM

I don't eat dessert, so none.

favorite christmas carol?

Miss Laura · Dec 23, 2020 at 12:06 PM

Any to be honest

O Little Town Of Bethlehem has to be number 1

Then there is Come All Ye Faithful
Silent Night
Away In A Manger
Once In Royal David's City

The list is endless

Question: How would you describe your Christmas Eve?
