Thank you Di for this week’s questions.

1. Would you like to have your own private jet?

Oh yes please. I could travel home to Northern Ireland any time I wish and travel to new destinations without having that dreaded time at the airport. No checking in luggage or even having to travel to the airport. If I have a private jet I hope that it can use renewable energy resources as I don’t want to be putting more pressure on the environment.

2. Would you like a chauffeur to drive you everywhere?

Oh yes please again. I mean, I do like driving but I hate traffic and having to find parking. Tonight I am working late and will be taking public transport home. Therefore, my own chauffeur would be very much welcomed.

3. Would you like to live on your own desert island?

No thanks. I would be bored after some time and I do like company. Maybe if I could visit my own desert island on a weekly or monthly basis for a couple of days, that would be heavenly.

4. Have you ever had anything made to measure (suit, dress, shoes etc)

No, I actually don’t think I have. I’m pretty average when it comes to sizes too so it hasn’t really been a necessity. I have thought about having my own suits made when I was on holiday in Hong Kong but I don’t really have a need for them.

Gratitude: thankful to be working but I will have the weekend off. That’s a rarity in my profession unless you request it off.

Thank you Di for this week’s Christmas questions.

1 – Which do you prefer, Christmas pudding, mince pies, or trifle?

Oh I love all three. However, I have literally just finished a mince pie so I will go with that, with a cup of tea of course.

2 – Which gives you the most satisfaction:

Cooking a special meal for your family / Dining with family and friends / Not having to do the washing up afterwards.

I will say dining with friends and family as I’m not the best cook ever. I’m not bad but I find it stressful cooking for many people. Also I actually really enjoy doing the washing up, I find it very therapeutic.

3 – Can you recall the best and worst gift you received (any occasion)?

Best gift, I once received an iPad from my parents when they had just come out, I was very excited, surprised and grateful but I have had many from my partner over the years. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, I’m easily pleased if there’s been some thought put into it. Worst gift, I haven’t had any thing horrendous thankfully, not that I can recall.

4 – After a full and enjoyable meal what do you prefer to do:

Take a nap, watch TV or play board games with the kids?

Maybe watch tv or I don’t mind board games with the family. Ideally I would love to go for a walk after a meal.

Gratitude:

Grateful to be off work on Christmas Day as I know this isn’t the case for many nurses.

Thanks Di for this week’s questions!

1. Are you busy making preparations for Dec 25th?

No not really. I have nothing to plan as it will be just us two this year, which I’m really looking forward to. I will be working a lot and even bought myself a new Christmas scrub to wear. I want to try make the Christmas week festive for us and our patients.

2. What is your favourite Christmas/holiday movie?

I love The Holiday with Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet. Growing up I always loved The Santa Clause and Home Alone.

3. What is your pet hate Christmas song?

I’m not a lover of Merry Xmas Everybody” by Slade. I think it’s the shouting throughout of “It’s Christmaaaaaaaaas!” the really annoys me.

4. Which actor in your opinion made the best Father Christmas?

I always loved Tim Allen and I can totally appreciate Richard Attenborough but recently I have really enjoyed Kurt Russell in The Christmas Chronicles, he really looks like Father Christmas!
