I've known one of my closest friends Dona since we were 14, she was new at school and in the same class for Biology, I waved her over to sit next to me and you know what the first thing I said to her was?....wait for it... 'do you like rats?'
bam. friends for life. There aint no closer bond then that of a friendship bonded over a good rat conversation. I think she replied that she liked them OK but was so thrown by the question that all ice was broken. Try it as an opener sometime, I dare you.
^^ look at how little Wilf is in this picture! ^^
Flowers of Holland are running a fun Facebook app to see how much you know about your best friends. If you can guess the type of flower they like and guess right you could be in with a chance to win a bouquet of those flowers.
As part of this I am taking part in a challenge to guess the answers to the following questions. Actually when I looked at these questions I realised I maybe need to get to know my friend a bit better, I was quite stumped so I'm going in with some complete guesses!
What is your best friend's favourite cafe?
We both live in Bristol so I'm going to say..The Social on Stokes Croft, although this might be that it's a just where we have met since I became a mum and needed a space that was child friendly without being a soft play (and served wine!)
What’s your best friend’s favourite place to shop?
If we are going high street i'd say Zara, well made, clean simple tailoring. Otherwise I'll go with vintage (which is probably a bit of a cop out)

What’s your best friend's favourite city?
Well this is tricky I'm going with Berlin but if it is UK based then I'm sticking with the wonderful city of Bristol we both reside in :)
What’s your best friend’s favourite movie?
The last movie we watched together at the movies was Sylvia..I am a big Sylvia Plath fan and I was grateful to have a friend who would sit through it with me! As for her favourite I'm going to say something artsy and possibly involving subtitles..
What’s your best friend’s favourite flower?
On the app I choose freesias..I hope that's right!
What’s my best friend’s favourite fragrance?
Something by Chanel..
If anything this exercise has made me realise we need to meet up more!
As part of this challenge I am nominating two other bloggers to take part and test their knowledge of their bestie!
The blogs I am nominating are:
West London Living and Side Street Style
If you fancy playing along why not leave the link to your post in the comment below? I'd love to check it out and hear more about your friendships!

I like the pink ones
lovely post , and those flowers are so pretty! I'm sure I'd be rubbish and have to guess half the answers ;)

You are a much better friend than me, I'm not sure I'd know half these answers for my closest friends! Beautiful photos x
Cyan
I love how you know so much about each other! Freesias are one of my faves too :) x
I love this you are intuitive friends xx
Haha do you like rats, brilliant! It's so nice to have friends that you've known for so long, I'm still really good friends with people I went to secondary school with and it's nice to have so much history. I met Matt at school when I was 13 too so there is a big group of us, it can be rather amusing when you realise you've actually been out with and snogged most of them! And Wilf was so tiny! x
Ahhh...this is lovely, know so much about each other. Certainly a great icebreaker-rats! ha ha!

Aw, lovely post. Love the pic of you both when Wilf was tiny! :-) It's funny to look back at when you met your friends, love the rat question lol I'm useless at all these types of quizzes...even when they're about myself, I'm never quite sure! x
Joules English Garden Bedding
Great post, Wilf looks so cute! x

OOh you've got me thinking now *mentally goes through friends* It's great to see you all hanging out with a tiny wilf ;) such a cutie. x
Love the Sunbird Floral bedding!
Some great questions to get thinking about. My best friend is my hubby (yes, really!) so it'd be a worry if I got them wrong!
Joules Sunbird Floral Bedding
Coastal Birds would be my choice
Following on bloglovin' as Umm Jaffar (made a mistake on the Rafflecopter!)
So how many of these answers did you get right? I hope you're on the button with some of them at least as I love the sound of how you met. Long-lasting friendships are really amazing.
I have a very dear friend from school and it is quite scary to think how long we have actually known each other! I'm not sure I know all the answers to these questions for her though!
That is literally the best opening liner ever! Who doesn't like a good conversation about rats - made me smile so much
Laura x
I love this! Friends are so important to make special memories in life xx
Great idea!

Oh gosh, my bezzie and I have been friends for like 25 years - I don't think I'd know the answers to some of these about her though!
Harlequin Hermosa Bedlinen looks lovely, bright and fresh
love the flower photos! i don't really have any close enough friends to answer these questions about though. apart from the boyfriend but he doesn't really care about any of these things haha.

You are so lucky to have a good friend for all these years. I've sadly long drifted away from my old friends and it makes me a little sad. Great story about the rat conversation :)
I love this coastal bedspread

Oh my! Look at little Wilf!! I was about to say I can't answer these questions about any of my friends but then I can about one so I suppose she must be my best though I don't generally think in those terms.
My absolute favorite is the Joules Lulu bedding!
My favourite is Joules Coastal Boats
Metallic pink :)
The Metallic pink are lovely
I adore the Joules Sunbird Floral Bedding

It's lovely that you have an old friends living in the same city as you, that's one thing I miss terribly! I'm not sure I would be able to answer all these questions correctly about them though!
Gorgeous flower photos, very jealous that you have such old friends... I seemed to drift away from mine when the girls were born!
I love the metallic pink jellies!
I really like the coastal birds bedding :)

I'm just about to shack up with le boyf so the Joules wool blanket is the perfect gender neutral piece!

Aww love that photo of little Wilf! What a great post too, great questions and answers. Love the flowers too, beautiful :)
I have moved away from where I grew up and my friends are now dotted around the country and even abroad. It is very rare we catch up these days
I like the Lemon ones & my little girl likes the Fluro Pink.
and I think It's perfectly acceptable to match your 2 year old, My little girl (2.5years) has a habbit of picking out outfits that are as similar as possible to what I'm wearing that day. We might look a bit silly but she's happy and that's all that matters to me. xx
