Name: Eloise Carr
Favourite Food: Ramen, but a very specific one from Bone Daddies called the Tantaman. It's spicy and peanutty and comes topped with - I kid you not - "cock scratchings", which thankfully are like pork scratchings but chicken
Favourite Biscuit: Chocolate hobnob. The best tea dunker there is!
Favourite Movie: Three Men and a Little Lady - This might sound rogue, but It's a dream 80s cast, proper feel good and has the best soundtrack - not to mention Tom Selleck's tash, which is exquisite!
Favourite Character: Buzz Lightyear
Hobbies: I recently bought an Olympus Trip 35mm camera and I am learning to use that - It's not going great, yet. I also like being nosy on Rightmove and I listen and watch all the true crime podcasts and documentaries I can find
