Question 2

How do you feel when you are waiting for someone and they are
late?

Answer 2

To be honest, I get extremely annoyed as being punctual is respectful and, therefore, turning up late is disrespectful.
Mind you, since having children, I find I’m often late because I have a million things to do before I leave the house.

Question 3

Did you get any **pocket money **when you were young?

Answer 3

No, I did not and I am still about bitter about it!
** Mind you**, my parents used to pay for everything and I never went without so I shouldn’t complain.

Bitter: angry about something

Question 4

Do you often use public transport?

Answer 4

** I’m ashamed to** admit that no I don’t.
Mind you, I live** in the middle of nowhere** so my options are severely limited so I need to use my car to get around

I’m ashamed: i’m embarrassed

Question 5

What do you do when you have difficulty sleeping?

Answer 5

Well, there are a number of things such as reading because reading
sends me to sleep and listening to a podcast because I find if I focus
on someone speaking, it shuts down my brain and helps me sleep.
Mind you, I rarely have difficulty sleeping, I love sleeping and can
drop off immediately.

Drop off: Fall sleep
