I am absolutely, I would say, obnoxiously jolly. My absolute key time is early morning. I'm not talking 4 o'clock in the morning, but I would say from 8am. I'm obnoxiously jolly and I remain like that until early afternoon, then it all goes downhill. I'm finding it increasingly hard to stay awake beyond 10pm. I'm always the one at home who falls asleep in front of the telly, which is really embarrassing.
What's your worst habit?
I think it ties in with being obnoxiously jolly in the morning and foisting that on those around me. I have a couple of friends who are really, really not morning people, and I have to tread very, very carefully because I can really p*** them off!
If you were home alone, what would you do?
