| Favourite alcoholic beverage: | As long as it isn’t Baileys, Malibu or Tia Maria either but apart from that, I’ll try anything. |

| Most likely to say: | I’ll down that pint in a oner! |
| Least likely to say: | (Ed - Lauren left this blank and requested I fill it in…………..silly girl! But after careful consideration, I'd say the following for her:) Lauren is least likely to say that she's done a good job, she's highly self critical as she's such a perfectionist. She's also quite unlikely to say that she's really calm and relaxed, she stresses about anything and everything until it's done just right. Not that any of this is a bad thing, she's the most organised of the lot of us!! |
| Favourite quotation: | 1. Look in to someone’s eyes and you’ll find out everything you need to know for they are the gateway to the soul. 2. What came first? The chicken or the egg? |
| Best holiday (why): | Not a great lover of holidaying, I like going to places with a purpose or to live there and get a feel for the reality of a place |
| Claim to fame: | No claim, I like the quiet life |
