    Yes sometimes.I do have a bit of a temper (which cools quickly!) but I'm never two faced. so err often I tend to be too frank for people's tastes. In some cases I have regretted words that escaped my mouth in the heat of the moment.

    What did you get up to over the weekend?

    I found myself alone in an almost empty city that is boiling for weeks at 38°C.
    I also found out there's not much to do with just one hand. Cried a bit.
    Nothing else.

    Is it easy for you to take decisions or do you think a lot before it?

    I like to think of myself as a quick decision maker but inspite of that I tend to think over a lot on the smaller things...like the menu in a restaurant. While I bought the apartment I live in having looked at not more than 2 other flats!

    Do you own a more than one house?

    ps: now you know how it feels to be me...38 or 39 for a month in April/May and then no rain in June either This year sucks.

    That's complicated......
    Legally I own a one room flat in a communist-type block of flats. I inherited it from an aunt and never lived there, neither have any intention to ever live or rent it. However I pay its taxes and utilities. All my life I lived in an old house in central city, a fashionable and expensive area. It's funny that I pay for all taxes, utilities,repairs but legally I own nothing. One half is still my mother's who never had money to afford it. The other half was confiscated by the communists when they arrested my dad. I had a long and tiring battle in the court to get it back. I was the one who paid the lawyer, paid for a lot of stupid documents, wasted a lot of time, nerves and tears in this battle. But living in Absurdistan the result was that it was given to by brother who paid nothing, never provided a document and generally didn't care about it. He doesn't even live here although it's his residence in his ID. I'd probably inherit my mother's part and we'll have a 50-50 share.

    How many rooms are in your home?

    If you could do one thing tomorrow that would be free and make you happy. What would it be?

    I'm sure he did a D-Type and answered a previous Q. The one about the houses he owns.

    Lol.. I remember the times when some guy knocked at our doors and said you're the winner of our special contest and you won for free some electric appliance. Then he said it's not enough and continued to offer things from a bag - about 8 products. After the "victim" nearly fainted he was like it's for free but you have to pay the import fees and asked for a considerable sum.
    It happened to me to be "chosen'' by such a guy, my mum was so excited....even offered some wine to the crook, then when he asked for money I showed him off.
    So freebies.....I don't know......My cell phone is offered for free as part of the season ticket. I bought an expensive perfume and was offered a douche gel forfree, I won a free CD when I answered at a radio contest.....

    When you're shopping do you buy things that you don't strictly need only because they're on a promotion?

    Sorry it was 8 full estates actually with big mansions on each one.

    Oh yes sometimes. If you see a special promotion on something that looks really cheap you simply have to buy it.

    Do you use a shopping list? or do you go to the shop and just buy what you see?
