Well do you?
I’m watching the clouds, and thinking I’ll leave the laundry on the outdoor airer for another hour. But rain is forecast and I can’t be arse to sit and watch the clouds for that long. Risking it for a biscuit. That how I roll. Livin’ on the edge. |

I take risks all the time! Like moving to London before finding somewhere permanent to live and just winging it when I get there. I’m really not risk averse, life’s too short! |

Better to ask forgiveness than permission etc. Life's too short, say yes more. Live a little, the frisson of getting a risk right, even a little one (Can I get to the shop to buy milk before my fish fingers burn in the air fryer!?) feels great when you win |

Exactly what I did when I moved down to London, no job, no permanent home and a much younger girlfriend I'd met 3 months earlier.
Best thing I ever did! |

I secured a job last week but I’d already decided to move and I would have moved even without it
It’s good to take chances |

That’s an edgy one. Did you make it? Were the fishy treats edible? C’mon man don’t keep me in suspenders. |

"I like to dunk biscuits for slightly longer than probably I should in my coffee.
Hobnobs are a real challenge.
I like to live dangerously.

Do you test the integrity of the biscuit first, to find any potential weak spots? |

No. That spoils the element of surprise when it drops to the bottom of the mug if I don't remove it in time.

No, not in big ways, although I dream big dreams that I know are possible but aren't likely
I'm the one at the base of the stack keeping everyone steady. Can't be taking risks that don't only affect myself.
I suppose being on fab is a risk should anyone decide to blow up my life for the craic
But I'm single, an adult and careful what pics I post so not too much damage to be done there. |

Worst still you could trip over those lovely nipples xxx"
You're so true. I do have boobs down to my knees so could easily trip over them. xxx |

You don’t have a flunky to sweep them aside from your path? |

On the plus side.......
Built in airbags for a soft landing instead of your face being the first to hit the ground and you getting a broken nose.

I’m taking a risk with a new career at my age. Done the risk taking with my life, rock climbing, bungee jumping or riding fast motorbikes.
But actually risking going into a new role (something I’ve done several times) is still the most exciting and trepidatious thing I really do in my life. |

Let's face it, everyone, on fab is a little, risque...or is that risky....or both...
Personally, I'm risk-averse...had too much trauma in my life to just wing it.
Even with my best planning, Things still go awry but I still land on my feet somehow.
Last risky thing I did: a social meet which got cancelled so I went out on my own.
Last risk-adverse thing I did: backed out of an 8 hour flight to the tropics after throwing up in the Uber to Heathrow. Visions of me having a crisis event 4 hours away from Land 30 000 feet in the air put me off and I decided not to risk it. |

Can't see your age but my Mom's went back to college at 47. We would get up in the middle of the night and study together. Her: extra nursing. Me: CXCs- Caribbean GCSEs. She failed the first term (which my Dad teased her about) but the next term she was on it like Sonic!! |

I only run for buses and footballs and I haven't done that in ages. I'm not designed physiologically for running. Lol! |

I’m roughly the same age as your Mum. So I congratulate her for her perseverance and hopefully a new successful career.
I suppose when I became middle aged and realised there’s less time ahead of me than behind, it’s not as much of a risk more of an adventure. |

I've ridden motorcycles since I was 16, so don't consider that being risky.
I also race them and ride them off road, both of which I do consider risky.
I run my own business, which was a risk when I started and often taking risks financially over the years to do with business etc. |

Ditto, except navigating the m6 every day at rush hour on a bike is like playing Russian roulette. |

One lesser n I learned very early in business is the power and opportunity of leveraging credit , especially when rates are low. it’s feels scary when you’re skint and maxing out 5 credit cards to £40K to pay contractors and complete a project , but that’s what differentiates you from the 9-5 crowd who would never take that risk and never see the rewards |

It was actually amazing (yes I’m easily pleased). I will be going back next time I’m in Balham. |
