1. Have you looked up your first-ever boyfriend on Facebook or Google recently?
No - I have neither the time nor the inclination
Yes - but only out of curiosity when I was bored
Yes - and I got back in touch with him
2. If you could give your 20-something self one piece of advice, what would it be?
Stop fretting and enjoy yourself
Stop messing around and concentrate on what you really want from life
Don't let those precious opportunities slip through your fingers
3. And if your 20-something self could see you now, what would she say?
Well done!
Not bad - but what about all the other stuff you were going to do?
Where did it all go wrong?
4. Now stop for a moment and count your blessings - close family and friends, a comfortable home, a fulfilling job, notable achievements, etc. What's the result?
I'm very grateful for what I've got right now
I'm grateful for what I've got - but I'd like a little more
I'm just not fulfilled - I want far more from life
5. How do you feel when you get out of bed on the average weekday morning?
I'm ready to get out there and get things done
I've got 101 things on my to-do list - what's first?
There's got to be more to life than this
6. Is there one overriding personal goal - motherhood, a particular job, living abroad, for instance - that you feel you've missed out on and are now unlikely to achieve?
No - but I'm still working towards smaller goals all the time
Yes - but I just don't have time to worry about them
Yes - and it eats away at me every day
7. Let's talk about sex. Are you happy with your sex life at the moment?
It's fine, thank you very much
It's not as good as it used to be, but it doesn't really worry me
What sex life?
8. And now let's talk about your career. How's it going?
It's fine, thank you very much
It's not really what I'd envisaged for myself, but it'll do
I'm not sure how I stumbled into this - but I want out
9. Altogether now! Regrets...
I have a few. But then again, too few to mention
I have a few. Some bigger than others
I have more than a few. How long have you got?
10. Be honest. If you had the no-strings opportunity to drive off into the sunset and start all over again, would you take it?
Thanks, but no thanks
Yes, but I'd have to be back in time to make the dinner
Yep - I'm off!
