What a great discussion, Leyla!

 

As a primary school teacher, #5 is true for me.

 

So is #1, I love desserts!

 

Regarding #7, I've never heard that one before, but if someone "is green-fingered" it means that they enjoy and are good at gardening. 

 

@Micah: Here in Northern Ireland we also use the bun in the oven expression!  I'm pretty sure it's used throughout the UK.

1. is definitely me.

 

I learned an idiom in New Zealand which they use to say that a woman is pregnant: "She has a bun in the oven." I always thought that was a funny one.
