Questions from Rachel:

1. What cheers you up?
When I'm having a bad day, my family and friends cheer me up. But you also can't go wrong with a chocolate (or KFC) and some YouTube ;)
2. What are you most proud of? 
I am proud of getting placed in my drama festivals. Which is where you perform in front of about 30 people by yourself and are up against between 5-25 people.
3. What did you so for your last birthday?
Well it was actually my birthday yesterday and I went shopping in Liverpool and out for a meal. But last year I went to Alton Towers.
4. What is your favourite book? 
My favourite books are the confessions of a shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella, but I also love the Fault in Our Stars by John Green - who doesn't love a bit of John Green?
5. What is your favourite joke?
I don't have a favourite joke really, but my sister's is 'Why do you take two pairs of trousers to golf? - In case you get a hole in one'? If that counts?
6. Day time or night time?
I love winter nights because they are so cosy and you can light candles and sit by the fire which is fab. Although I have to say I love long warm summer days.
7. White chocolate or dark?
I have to say I really don't like dark chocolate, but I love both white and milk. So the answer to that would be white chocolate.
8. What is your favourite and least favourite word?
I really don't like the word belly and I also don't like the word banter - no offence to anybody who says those! I don't really have a favourite I suppose I like the word harmony because it is peaceful and it just reminds me of a holiday or a spa.
9. Are you a glass half empty or a glass half full sort of person?
I would like to think that I am a glass half full person. I don't think you can afford to be a glass half empty person because life is too short to  be worrying about time or amounts... if that makes sense?
10. Favourite TV programme?
I loved the show Pan Am because I am in love with the 1960s beauty and air hostesses and everything. But as there is only one season of that I also like air crash investigation.
11. Favourite animal?
I have always loved dolphins because I think they show freedom and they are sort of magical. But I also love cats.
