With Christmas looming and money becoming ever tighter I needed some blog post inspiration that doesn't involve me having to buy new clothes at the moment, so imagine my delight when I stumbled across a blog post from the lovely Louise over at
Polka Spots and Freckle Dots and she had posted the next instalment of the 5000 Question Survey. I followed the link that she had left on her blog and found the questions and decided to have a go- so here are questions 1-30.
