Mrs Listers Q & A

Thanks to the super nice Emvi I am taking part in my first tag. So fingers crossed I do it right lol
This is great idea a meme from the Guardian orginally. So here goes!

Which living person do you most admire, and why?


I have to say it was my mum. She was one tough cookie and had some amazing adventures. I am not were near as strong as she was but then again I dont have her temper lol.



When were you happiest?

Not sure proberly when I found out I was expecting my son Matthew. We had tried for 2yrs for a baby with no luck. I thought I would never have children so to find out I had a baby on the way was a dream come true. My children are the light of my life. I did not wait so long for Natalie but she was just as welcome .



What was your most embarrassing moment?

Well like many people i think there could be a few. One that come to mind is me and hubbie went to the movies during the day. It was a cold sunny day and he had on a dark overcoat. When we got in the movie had started and coming from sun you could hardly see a thing. He found an empty row of seats but went on down toward the middle. I followed found him, sat down and ran my hand up and down his leg !!!
The next thing was a deep voice (not my hubbie) said " sorry love he's gone down there" I nearly died.
I had touched a totally strange man! My husband thought it was soooooo funny!

Family photo's both my parents are dead so I have most of the photo's they left behind. I love history so they are very special. I also have my mothers headscarf which she wore all the time.

When matthew was about 2 we were driving back home on the motorway. I was sitting behind my hubbie with matthew on my lap asleep with his coat over him. A lorry in front of us went over a large object and threw it up in the air . It came through the window, through the car and out the back. I had a couple of cuts but no major problems. If i had been sitting on the other side or in the front i would have died for sure.
