73 questions, or, more about me than you ever cared to know

Who doesn't love a good meme? If you have time to spare then come, read my answers to 73 questions as posed by Vogue. If you have still more, why not answer them yourself and join in the egocentric fun!

1. Were you named after anyone? Nope.

2. When was the last time you cried? Yesterday - I had a very sore cricked neck and was feeling sorry for myself. Mind, I cry at the drop of a hat.

3. Do you like your handwriting? Yes! Although my husband claims that he can't read it.

4. What is your favourite lunch? Probably a nice sandwich - tuna mayo with cucumber is hard to beat.

5. Instagram or Twitter? Instagram.

6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you? No. I'd find me highly irritating.

7. Do you bake? Yes.

8. Do you like flying? Not really. I tend to have several stiff drinks before boarding a plane.

9. Would you bungee jump? No, because I'm not an idiot.

10. What is your favourite cereal? Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.

11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Nope.

12. Do you think you’re strong? Neither physically nor emotionally.

13. What is your favourite ice cream? Ooooh, tough. We made a Christmas pudding ice cream last year that was gorgeous. And anything with chocolate is good.

14. What is the first thing you notice about someone? I honestly don't know! I often check out wedding fingers for some unknown reason - but I don't know why; I certainly wouldn't judge a person for being married or otherwise.

15. Red or pink? Pink.

16. What is the least favourite thing about yourself? My lack of willpower and drive.

17. Who do you miss the most? I always miss my husband when we're apart. He is my best friend and when he's not there I don't feel quite right.

18. What was the last book you read because everyone was reading it? I don't tend to do that.

19. What film made you cry the most? See above - I cry a LOT and am banned from watching any film where anything happens to an animal. I always well up at the end of Notting Hill.

20. What was the last thing you ate? Dinner - which was spiralised Swede with herb pesto and Parmesan cream.

21. What are you listening to right now? A Spotify playlist by a Guardian journalist called "Background music to read by". Debussy at the moment - lovely.

22. If you were a crayon, what colour would you be? Pink. Or green.

23. Favourite smell? Currently, Jo Malone "Blackberry and Bay" perfume. Also, bacon.

24. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? Um...an accountant's PA. He won't return my calls, the bar steward (work related rather than fun).

25. Mountain hideaway or beach house? I like the sea, hate the beach. Can I sit in the beachside bar?

26. Favourite sport to watch? They're all dull.

27. Hair colour? Dark brown with the odd strand of grey.

28. Eye colour? My brother once described it as untreated sewage. I prefer grey-green.

31. Scary film or happy endings? Both!

32. Last film you watched? Er....possibly Star Wars, the first of the original trilogy, with my nephew on New Year's Day. He likes the Stormtroopers.

61. To be or not to be? That is the question!

62. What would be the title of your autobiography? God knows. My life is nowhere near interesting or eventful enough to provide autobiography material. Although that never stopped Jordan.

72. Cheap or expensive shampoo? I'm not fussy. Actually I don't often use shampoo - I wash my hair with conditioner which helps the curl.

73. How difficult was it to answer these questions? Some harder than others. But fun!
