I think this is more of an issue for the ladies. I only own four pairs of shoes. Too many shoes? I think so, yes. (But then I'm not certain the ladies would agree with me!) Put off paying a bill because of overspending on shoes? No, but I have sometimes put it off for other expenses! A picture of my favourite pair of shoes? Oh dear, I had better go and clean them first! lol, Mike, you looked at the wrong quiz!

2 Do you say something when someone has more than 20 items? hmm... not sure what this means.. In the US, we have lanes (aisles, checkout lines) in the stores that are for people with "20 items or less" in their basket. It helps those who just came in for a couple items not have to wait for those who are doing their whole week's shopping.

2 Do you say something when someone has more than 20 items? hmm... not sure what this means.. In the US, we have lanes (aisles, checkout lines) in the stores that are for people with "20 items or less" in their basket. It helps those who just came in for a couple items not have to wait for those who are doing their whole week's shopping. Oh okay, I see what you mean. The thing I like about Walmart here is that there is a 'fast lane' of 10 or less items, it's goes through really quickly and there's also a 'self-serve' lane, where you can check your own items in and pay for them through a machine they have there. What would I say to someone who had more then 20 items and I only had two. Probably nothing. I tend to just mind my own business when waiting in queues in stores etc. Sometimes I just walk out if the line-up is too long. I don't like talking to people if I don't have to! Maybe I'm just unsociable. And if I have 40 items and the person behind me has one or two, I'd say 'too bad'. I was here first! The only exception being a disabled person or an elderly person or a young kid. These I'd let go in front of me. I'm not completely heartless.

1 What's your partner's most annoying habit? (Be careful!) Snoring 2 What's their sweetest habit? Too X-rated to say! 3 What is your earliest memory? Discovedring the beauty of flowers in my garden 4 What does your future hold? Hopefully many more years of happy marriage, grandchildren when the time comes and maybe getting some of my stuff published 5 Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to? That's easy - a penny for your thoughts is British and two cents is American and the pound is worth more than the dollar!

1 What's your partner's most annoying habit? (Be careful!)
I don't let him annoy me, when he does something less than ideal I just say "I wouldnt have it any other way", and to me that's love.
2 What's their sweetest habit?
The way he kisses me.
3 What is your earliest memory?
I remember playing with toys under the weeping willow when I was just turned 4.
4 What does your future hold?
money, satisfaction, fulfillment, happiness, health --I wouldnt be silly enough to wish for anything less!
5 Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?
Well, you know when you go to spend a penny? That's where.

Hm, this is a difficult set of questions.
1 My partner's most annoying habit?
The same as Sadie's remark.
2 Her sweetest habit?
There are so many I am not sure that I could pick simply one.
3 My earliest memory - nearly drowning; it has left me with a lasting fear of water and of sailing on ships.
4 What does my future hold? Hopefully in some years time grandchildren, perhaps I will eventually find time to finish the philosophical magnum opus on which I have been working in a desultory fashion for the last twenty years.
5 Two cents and a penny - ah, the vagaries of language!
Both of course are metaphors; presumably at the time these phrases were coined the expressions carried more monetary weight than they do in our present era!

Or have to ...you get the picture 5 Do you collect anything? What?music, dvd's, tea!
