OK, OK, here is mine.
Born in 1962, so that makes me 23! (Sigh, I wish!) Have 2 girls ages 14 (going on 40) and 11, (going on 30) And of course they are both beautiful! Have a husband from Bermuda, and we lived over there for 13 years until 5 years ago, when we returned to East Sussex. My lottie was my saving grace when I returned, working the soil certainly helps sort things out! (I still dream of beaches and palm trees occasionaly!)
Family all think I am mad, and laugh when I say I am just nipping up to the lottie, they know I will be gone for hours!!
Trained as a hotel manager, but hubby does the same and does not make for good family life both working 88 hours a week! So decided to give up work and become a domestic goddess, and enjoy all the things I love, my family, cooking, gardening, entertaining, drinking chardonnay, sewing, making wine, gardening, drinking, cooking, crafty stuff, sitting on the computer.....shame I HATE cleaning!! (but so long as the weather is bad it gets done!) I now work part time as a gardener during the mornings, nothing exotic, just taking care of other peoples gardens, but long to find something else to get my teeth into!
Read anything, when I get the time. last thing was "lovely Bones".
We have an aquarium full of tropical fish, a pond full of goldfish and 2 Guinea Pigs. (used to have 2 tame rats, called Gin and Tonic!! ) Would have Dogs n cats but I am allergic to animals. :'(
Rambled on enough methinks!! You all still awake out there?????

You all sound lovely people and fascinating lives, Tim, Eric, Jo, Doris P, Robin, Suzy - Good to meet you all! Hope I haven't missed anybody out. I am sure it would be a pleasure to massage all of your feet. :D busy_lizzie

Well, as you have all been so thorough, thought I should maybe fill in a few more gaps...... and bore you all rigid!
We have 2 kids, Jessica 4 and James 3. Met the love of my life, Mark, on a canal boat holiday, where he swept me off my feet and stole me away from another! :o We live in Essex, altho I am half Surrey and half Devonian, so have an odd accent.
I drink...anything that doesn't taste of aniseed :-X, am an ex smoker, and am constantly on a diet! Thrilling so far huh! Learnt to ride a motorbike this summer. Will garden come rain or shine, by torch light if necessary - I am passionate about it. Knit, sew, read anything at all, love cars, especially vintage ones, motorbikes, and pints of ice cold beer ! ;D

Well here goes,

Born on jan 2 1957, went to school eventually, left at 15 years old, with 7 'a' and 11 'o' levels, you younguns won't know what they are ;D . Started work as a bricklayer served a 5 year apprenticeship achieved an OND and HND then worked everywhere, (have trowel will travel) 3 years in Canada as a site agent for my uncle, loads of work in London and surrounding areas (only trouble was nobody understood the geordie accent),Scotland for 2, then went into training when City and Guilds changed to NVQ. This was due to an accident (got 2 pins and a bone graft in my right shoulder)and have been doing this for 18 years. I travell all over the country delivering an assortment of courses to different companies.
I have 2 'kids' number one son (Simon) is 22 and doing his masters at uni, number one daughter (Vicky)is working (thank god) but still spending my money. When she was born had 'the snip' to make sure no more came about.
At the last count we have 5,000 books at home (more than the local library) ranging from the ' ABC of Communisim' to 'The story of PI', but i must admit that i prefer humour like Terry Pratchet.
I recently bought a Harley Davidson (no relation tough luck, you see my middle name is Davidson) and i am currently turning it into a trike, (no licence) so what with that the allottment and 'other' interests i am very active.
So that's about it (boring or what) apart from my weird sense of humour which usually gets me into trouble (ask the police). My drinking has had to be cut down due to diabetes, high cholesterol, angina etc so now i'm down to 20 pints a night with the occasionaal bottle of jack daniels thrown in. I also smoke around 20 tabs a day or some other foreign substance, which is just for medicinal purposes you understand.

Right that's definetly it, talk to you all later.

campanula · « **Reply #54 on:** December 10, 2003, 22:15:44 »

Oh Yes, this is more like it!!!
Boring....I don't think so.
I LOVE to hear other people's stories - absolute meat and drink to me. Thank you for turning into real people!
I should say that my experience of internet communication has been severely limited and I have been completely fascinated to notice my feelings towards all of you - I am a desperately shy sort (Palustris, I also have the phone and letter problem) and never, in a million years could I imagine being so forthcoming.
Keep em coming!

Palustris · « **Reply #55 on:** December 11, 2003, 00:07:22 »

I am what I am. I just embarrass myself by admitting it and then have to hide away until the blush has gone down and the memory faded.

tim · « **Reply #56 on:** December 11, 2003, 09:26:58 »

- but the tail's still wagging?
And what about the quirky smile? = Tim

legless · « **Reply #57 on:** December 11, 2003, 10:17:38 »

the weird thing i find is when you meet internet people in real life, you've never met before but you know so much about each other conversation is instant! i'm out on the toon on friday with a bunch of girls i met on a wedding planning forum in fact! ;D

Doris_Pinks · « **Reply #58 on:** December 11, 2003, 11:15:52 »

Would be funny to put us all in a room and see if we recognise each other!! :o (Well, we would EJ and Jethro!)
That would be a good Christmas quiz, post a photo and everyone has to guess who it is just by looks!! Mind you wouldn't be dificult cos our profile names would be next to us.duh! DP

Hyacinth · « **Reply #59 on:** December 11, 2003, 12:14:02 »

...agree with Legless...how was it for you, Tim??

We'd met on the Beeb lottie board and Stephan (Cleo) had come up with this nifty solution to us exchanging email addresses, and last year (god!how time flies) I went to meet Tim and his family.

And I don't recall any awkward silences ;D ;D ;D - Lishka
