I'm terrified of china dolls. No other phobias that I'm aware of - good with spiders, snakes, bats, clowns, heights, pretty much anything.
When I was younger my mother used to sleepwalk and fell down the loft room stairs one night, so she and my dad moved in to the guest bedroom. My brother moved in to the loft, my sister moved in to my brother's old room and I moved from the box room to my sister's old room, which was actually the master bedroom - huge, but exposed to the street outside by large bay windows. My sister didn't have room to move her bookcase full of china dolls in to her new room, so it stayed where it was - the room I now occupied. Because I've always slept with the curtains open, the street lights outside used to shine in and reflect off the dolls' eyes, so I turned them to face the inside of the cabinet to avoid being creeped out. Either my brother or my sister, I'm not sure which - neither has ever admitted to it - took to sneaking in to my room at night and turning them back, so I'd wake up at 3 in the morning and I'd have these dolls - which I
knew I'd turned away - staring at me again. Terrified the hell out of me, and I haven't been able to stand being in the same room as them since.

yep, spiders for me too. That means I can't come back to this thread agin because I give it 5 posts max before someone puts up a big picture of one!!
Edit 2: The prawns with eggs are the tastiest ones! We used to get a bag of prawns from Margate seafront and peel them at home. I'd put the ones with eggs in a separate bowl and they always tasted better than the ones without eggs - much juicier! Dash of pepper and a drizzle of vinegar, yum. Why do peopel think eating prawns raw is weird?
(I actually had no idea that prawns could be sold with the eggs attached as I've never seen it before)
