Did your family move houses a lot when you were a kid? If so, what was the experience like for you? Maybe describe the place you liked best? If you just stayed in one home for most/all of your childhood, what is your fondest memory from living there? Does your family still own said home? 👥🏠📦

We only moved once, when I was about 9, and even then it was less than half a mile away and I didn't have to change school. It corresponded to my older brother leaving home, so in the new house I had a room to myself. In our old house I didn't have any friends in the same street because it was a really busy road, but the new house was in a very quiet road so I could play in the street and I made friends with kids nearby. It was therefore a generally very positive thing, although I did enjoy the much bigger and more mature garden in the old house, whereas the new house was a new-build.
My parents still live in the 2nd house but I moved out to go to university in London some years ago.

What's everyone up to tonight/this weekend? Anything interesting? 😊

Emmagine_This’s Profile PhotoEmmagine_This
Currently watching a live video podcast from one of my favourite singers, who's been doing it every Friday since the first Covid lockdown.
Then a regular zoom video chat with a load of my gig-going friends.
Saturday, I have some stuff to do in the garden - cutting back a tree and rendering a brick wall.
Sunday, the weather looks good so I'm probably going to go down to the seaside. Brighton perhaps.

For the last few months I've been writing some Windows software to control a music synthesizer that I own (to download and upload banks of sound patches and save them to disk). Today it was finished, and I launched it. Given that there are only about 30 active people on the Facebook group for this synth I'm not expecting to make any money out of it, I just did it because it was useful.

I have an attic that I’d like to make more use of, but it has no light. Do you think it would be a good idea to hire an electrician to fit lights in there, linked to the lights upstairs, and would they be able to do this without retiring the whole electricity?

Hadacol’s Profile PhotoHerbert Henry Asquith
Lighting in the attic is a good idea. It's usually pretty easy to do because you already have access to electricity from the lighting circuit of the rooms below, and because you don't generally care about where the wiring goes and so it doesn't have to look especially neat. Put the light switch somewhere that you you can reach it easily, such as on the floor of the loft right next to your access hatch. It's a pretty simple DIY job if you know what you're doing.
I would also consider putting some loft boards down to walk on, if you need access further into the loft than just the area immediately around the access point.

What do you do to be more environmentally friendly? ♻️🌍🌿

TobbeAsks’s Profile PhotoTobbe
I never drive if I can walk or cycle instead. I take public transport instead of driving if it is feasible.
I recycle everything I can, compost my kitchen and garden waste, and take things like metal, batteries, electricals etc to the council recycling center.
I never throw anything away if I can mend it (which I'm quite good at), or re-use it in some way, or give it away to someone else who can use it.
I buy second hand (or from Freecycle donation) if I can.
I collect rain water for the garden. I have thought about using it to flush my downstairs toilet but I'm not sure that's practical. I grow my own fruit and veg, but I'd like more room for that.
I use energy-efficient lights and appliances where I can, and monitor my energy usage carefully.
I don't have kids - the number one worst thing you can do for the environment is to increase the population size and generate another 80 years of waste, consumption, energy use and pollution.
Pretty much everything above saves me money, as well as the environment.

Hi, so let’s play a game, im trying to boost my writing creativity. Give me 4 random words and I’ll write a story about that.

What is more expensive? You want to travel from one city to another . The distance between them is 375 kilometers and takes around 4 hours to reach at your destination. If you take the bus you will pay 50£.if you go by car how much will you spend on fuels?

Fontaine
Petrol costs about 10p per km, but if you include wear on the tyres, exhaust and servicing costs then it works out at about 13p per km. It will vary depending on the car though. 375km therefore costs around £50, but you could carry upto 4 people at once, whereas on public transport you pay per person.

Have you ever dyed your hair?

RedPetal20969’s Profile PhotoRedPetal
I put a blue streak in it once, to go to a blue-themed party, but that's all. I did my eyebrows too. It was a temporary dye that washed straight out the next day.

As a kid, what was your idea of fun?

screams6’s Profile PhotoAndreea ♡
Feeding the ducks and fishing for tadpoles. Talking of which, a frog has taken up residence underneath a large dish that I use as a birdbath in the garden.

What do you eat if you work 12 hours shift ? And when ?

Fontaine
Different workplaces have different rules, but when I worked shifts it was 9am to 9pm and we had an hour for lunch around 1 or 2pm, and 30 mins for dinner around 6pm, although timing was flexible depending on the demands that day. I also worked some night shifts, 9pm to 9am, and then we usually had 45 mins about 1am and 45mins about 7am.
My workplace had a staff canteen that served hot food which was usually very good except, for the 1am meal.
For that meal they basically served whatever was left over from 6pm which had been sitting under heated lamps all evening. I am not kidding when I say that you had to peel back the skin on the baked beans in order to get to the liquid ones underneath. I will never forget the day that one of my work colleagues nailed a fried egg to the Suggestions Board. I wish I had a photo of that. People were talking about it for weeks 😂

Say you were the owner of a mini golf course, would it have a certain theme? If so, what kind of setpieces would you want to incorporate into the different holes? ⛳️🏰

TobbeAsks’s Profile PhotoTobbe
I've already said how I'd like to build a course in my garden (if I had a bigger garden): https://ask.fm/jigsaw20216838/answers/170404031258
I hadn't really thought about a theme though. I think it would probably just be one which represented the natural world - windmills, waterfalls, hills, a cable car, trains, ferris wheel etc. So more of a miniature village than anything themed as such (eg space, dinosaurs, pirate etc)

What's everyone doing today?

Baking!
All Bran fruit cake, two trays of ginger biscuits, and plum crumble made with plums from my tree.
With energy prices so high, I figured I should fill all four shelves in the oven. There's also room left over for a shepherd's pie that I'll be making next.

Have you ever done a bonfire on bonfire night that got out of hand that the fire emergency services had to be call out to put it out ?

Carrots are perfectly safe to hold. This bizarre idea surely makes them more dangerous!

When you were a kid, did you have an “emotional support” item? Like, a teddy bear or other stuffed animal, a doll, blanket, etc… that you just couldn’t be without? When did you get said item? How long did you use it for? Do you still own it today?

anonamouse89887’s Profile Photoanonamouse
I had a stuffed toy which was a Coldstream Guard (the soldiers at Buckingham Palace that guard the Queen/King with the red tunics and tall bearskin hats). I don't know when I got it but it must have been very early. I suspect it was homemade. We moved house when I was about 9 and my mum made me leave it behind "to guard the house" which I guess was just her way of saying that I was too old for stuffed toys now.

Did you earn an allowance growing up? How old were you when you first started receiving one? What would you typically spend your money on? 🤑💵

anonamouse89887’s Profile Photoanonamouse
I was given pocket money (as we call it in the UK) every week until I was 18. I don't remember it starting so I think I always had it, at least from the age where I understood what money was. I also earned some extra working for my dad (an accountant) at weekends and in summer holidays, from the age of about 14 or so.
My parents encouraged me to save from an early age, so while I did spend some on sweets and comics, mostly I saved it and then used that for larger purchases once or twice a year.

What’s the most convincing scam email you’ve ever received?

RedPetal20969’s Profile PhotoRedPetal
I don't think I've ever had one that was even remotely convincing, but I've had genuine emails that looked like scams.
I had one from my bank the other day which didn't use my name, so "Dear sir/madam", offered me money back for a mistake they had made, and asked me to phone a number which was not the normal customer services number on their website. It was definitely genuine so when I phoned up I gave them an earful about how they're always sending me emails about how to avoid scams and then do the exact same thing themselves.

Do you think women who make fake claims against men should be imprisoned?

haevy98wpe’s Profile Photohaevy98wpe
The crime of perverting the course of justice almost always results in a custodial sentence. Judges take a very dim view of that, so if the claims are made in court they should expect to go to prison.

Do you have any Christmas markets trip plan which Christmas Market is best one you have visited ?

missygls’s Profile Photoᴳᴸメ
I've booked (free) tickets to go to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, London, which includes a Christmas market. At some point I usually end up going to one on the South Bank of the Thames too. I also have (free) tickets to the Ideal Home at Christmas exhibition in Olympia. I'm not sure any of them are all that good really, and I wouldn't be going if I had to pay, it's just something to do in London on days when I have to be there for something else anyway.

What incoming film's at the cinema are you planning to see next ?

missygls’s Profile Photoᴳᴸメ
Next week I'm going to see Where The Crawdads Sing, which is a few months old now. I'm not sure there is anything coming up soon I'm especially interested in.
