Would You Rather...
with Andie M.Long and D.H.Sidebottom
Chips, chocolate or cheese?
Andie: Most definitely chocolate.
Dawn: CHOCOLATE!!
Bridget Jones, Becky Bloomwood or Carrie Bradshaw?
Andie: Carrie Bradshaw is my icon. I want to BE Carrie Bradshaw. Except I look like poop in a dress
Dawn: Gotta be Bridget
Wine, beer or vodka?
Andie: Hmmm, I’ll go for red wine. Just don’t give me limoncello...
Dawn: WINE, and then more WINE!!!
Camping or spa vacation?
Andie: Spa. Are you offering? Yes please I’ll go now.
Dawn: I like to pee in comfort! Definitely spa. We’ll go together, Andie
Water or mountains?
Andie: Water. No mountains for me.
Dawn: If you’ve ever seen me trying to climb then you’ll understand why I say water… although I’m scared of boats… Oh, shit, can we go beach??? Can sand be an option??
Zombies or vampires?
Andie: I ADORE vampires.
Dawn: Vamps… Eric Northman, please, if I can choose a certain one *Sigh* Those long teeth. Those piercing eyes. That large…. *Sigh again*
Dogs or cats?
Andie: Dogs. Particularly Husky’s and whippets.
Dawn: Dogs, I have four cockers and they’re my best friends.
Coke or Pepsi?
Andie: Coke. I hate when it's Pepsi instead.
Dawn: Wine.
Coffee or tea?
Andie: I think most of my blood is actually coffee.. tea makes me physically puke. Can’t drink it.
Dawn. Wine.
Dine out or take away?
Andie: I’d rather cook my own but takeaway otherwise. I don’t have to get changed for that.
Dawn: What did you just say, Andie? You’d rather cook??? Are you intoxicated right now? Who in their right minds gives up a night out to bloody cook? Pfft! Dine out, with preferably someone really hot, and loaded, and packed, and…. Yeah, that :D
High heels, sneakers or flip flops?
Andie: trainers (your sneakers).
Dawn: Trainers… or sneakers as you call them, although I’m not quite sure why you call them sneakers because whenever I wear them they squeak like hell, can’t sneak anywhere in them, lol.
Physical Book or ebook?
Andie: GAH. I can’t choose. If there could only be one, I’d choose a paperback because I like to sniff them. Kindles are so good for holidays and travelling though.
Dawn: I agree with Andie. I love my kindle when I’m laid in bed or travelling, but I love the smell and feel of a real book, flicking actual pages when you’re so eager to find out what’s coming.
Paperback or Hardcover?
Andie: paperback. I cannot cope with holding a heavy hardback book.
Dawn: Paperback… I abuse my books! Yes, I’m going to get doggy poop through the post now lol. I like to bend back the covers and flip over the corners. There’s nothing better than a ragged, well-loved book in your hands that’s been read over and over… especially with chocolate and wine stains!!
Andie: DAWN!!! No!!!! You flip corners, bend back covers?!! We can no longer be co-writers, I’m disowning you.
Pen or pencil?
Andie: pen every time.
Dawn: Pen.
Mad Men, Downton Abbey or Breaking Bad?
Andie: I’ve not seen any of them but I have the boxset of Mad Men so I’ll go with that one. But for me Big Bang Theory or New Girl.
Dawn: Uhh…??? Lol. I’m a Banshee and GoT girl lol… violence and sex and I’m in lol
Drama or comedy?
Andie: Comedy every time. Light relief when feeling stressy.
Dawn: Both, depending what mood I’m in.
Twilight or Hunger Games?
Andie: Hunger Games.
Dawn: Hunger Games… I’m seeing a pattern here, Andie lol
Lipstick, lipgloss or chapstick?
Andie: none. Hate them all. When I have to wear one its lipstick and the minute I’m home I wipe it off.
Dawn: Again, different moods. Lip-gloss for day, lipstick for night
Facebook or Twiter?
Andie: Facebook. I live there.
Dawn: Good ole FB
Plot your entire novel or fly by the seat of your pants?
Andie: used to be a plotter. Now I’m a pantser with a vague idea where I want to go, though the characters take over and change everything! My Bunk Up notebook only has about two sentences written in it!!
Dawn: Never plotted, ever. I love to fly, and let my characters write their own story. I’ve never changed the way it comes out either, I stick by what they tell me. I’ve been known to kill characters at the last minute and didn’t even see it coming LOL
You have Bunk Up notes, Andie??? Lol, we were always messaging with “What surname did we go for again?” and “Ohh, what’s he look like again?” hahaha
Andie: Most definitely chocolate.
Dawn: CHOCOLATE!!
Andie: Carrie Bradshaw is my icon. I want to BE Carrie Bradshaw. Except I look like poop in a dress
Dawn: Gotta be Bridget

The Bunk Up
Daisy Harlow discovers her long-term boyfriend isn’t contemplating a proposal but rather how to get his mistress out of the house before she gets home. As if things can’t get any worse, broken-hearted Daisy gets fired from her job at the Post Office.
Stuck living with her best friend and tormented by three children under the age of five, Daisy needs a fresh start and she needs it fast.
Enter her least favourite customer Mrs Haversham. Daisy finds herself offered a few weeks away in Mrs H’s country cottage in Norfolk. Time to recharge her batteries and think of her future.
Thank goodness Mrs H’s son is married though, she can do without her matchmaking efforts. So who’s the dark haired hottie currently occupying a bedroom of the cottage? He says he’s Mrs H’s other son. One who Daisy knows nothing about. Frazer reckons he’s an actor, in Heydon to land a part in a new film.
One thing she is clear about. He’s refusing to budge and as she has nowhere else to go, he’s going to have to get used to a housemate. As the boiler breaks, temperatures get cooler but tempers get hotter. Each one wants the other one out of the house.
But did Mrs H know what she was doing all along?
