What would you do if you were a man for a day?
I'd freak out at first! Then maybe see how good I am at chatting up ladies.
What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought that's not a house?
A laptop - but that's not interesting, so the second most expensive is shoes. They were extra glittery and so high - I've worn them twice in the space of two years!
