Yorkshire Pudding Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I like this thread! Here are mine: 1. My family is my world. My sister and mum are my best female friends. 2. I wish my sister wasn't 200 miles away! 3. I hate makeup but can't face work without it - people ask me if I'm ill if I don't wear any! 4. I resent the time I have to spend at work but really enjoy my job. 5. I consider myself very lucky to have had children. 6. I have a degree in biology and a PhD in potatoes. 7. I am a qualified whisky taster and have a certificate to prove it. 8. I have grey hairs but my OH doesn't have ANY 9. I can happily spend days pottering in my garden with only the chickens for company. 10. I am a dab hand at baking. 11. I wish I had more fashion sense but I'm strictly a 'comfort first' girl. 12. I like my steak blue. 13. I would rather watch the wood fire than the TV. 14. I don't have time to read as much as I would like. 15. I wish I had my Dad's family's red hair - my sister and I missed out, but DS2 has it! 16. I like the smell of cats' paws. 17. I learned to drive while my Dad was doing the Knowledge - so I am not afraid of Oxford Street traffic in the rush hour! 18. My ringtone is a chicken clucking. It attracts lots of attention in pet shops. 19. I am mildly anaemic and iron tablets don't agree with me at all . 20. I loathe ironing, but love a pile of freshly ironed clothes and ironed sheets. Can't win! 21. I wish I was more organised but love that I can be impulsive too. 22. My children think I'm crackers. 23. I refuse to have bathroom scales in the house - I have no idea what I weigh and don't want to know. 24. I speak good French but can't remember Spanish although I have O levels in both. 25. I can play the piano badly, but haven't played cello since I was 18. I can still get a tune out of a piano accordion though! PS welcome back Chester!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Ooh, can we add more as we think of them ? 26. I have been mistaken for a boy twice. Once at an airport aged about 11 and once at a Who concert aged 21 . I was frisked on both occasions . 27. I flew from the Philippenes to Edinburgh by myself aged 8 (well, the pilot flew the plane, I just sat in it ). 28. I am lazy and secretly greedy . 29. I've met Gerry Rafferty. 30. I watch Neighbours (what's happened to Libby Kennedy ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayandrob Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Libby has been replaced temporarily, she had a collapsed lung and pheoumonia (can't spell that!) so they have had to replace her for a few weeks from what I have read!

Seagazer Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Welcome back Chookie/Chester - glad you came back 1. My OH is my best friend and always has been. 2. I love my kids so much and worry about them (all the time). 3. My SIL is my best friend. 4. I miss my sister so much since she moved. Used to see her every week but now every couple of months. 5. I have a strange relationship with my Dad, never got on as a teenager but now I'm the only one who bothers with him 6. I've been doing computer courses for the last five years to ready me to go to work but everytime I think about applying for a job I cry and panic 7. I love all my pets. 8. When I pop to the loo first thing in the morning I come out and there are the dog and 2 cats waiting behind the door - cupboard love though I think. 9. I keep moaning about my flabby bits but am too lazy to do anything about it. 10. I love North Devon and cry when I have to leave. 11. I drive into North Devon with a big smile on my face 12. I wish I'd done better at school - I feel like I'm quite clever but my qualifications make me feel differently. 13. I love watching films - even really old films. 14. I love ladies fashion from the 50's, very glamorous. 15. I'm really fed up wearing jeans every day but again too lazy to bother wearing skirts. 16. Its great going to our caravan on the coast and we all chill out there. 17. I like cooking and wish I was better at it. 18. I don't have enough friends, I have people I chat with but not many I'd invite in for a coffee. 19. I always say good morning to people in the street (get some funny looks sometimes ). 20. I'm quite an emotional person and worry constantly that I've said or done the wrong thing. 21. I get very nervous going to a formal 'do' - so much so that I often make myself ill and can't go. But the ones I make it to I enjoy 22. I dream a lot - I'm forever dreaming about moving. 23. Trouble is my kids don't want to move - can't leave them behind. 24. I'm fed up dyeing my grey hair - when I'm a bit older I'm going to give it up!! 25. I love this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred, you may be brilliant at computers but you're no Welsh speaker I'd managed to get the first bit, but I've only beng learning Welsh since September. It's amazing the difference between North and South it's like two totally different languages. I also find it strange that there are so many different ways to say Yes and No. Ydw/Nac ydw, Ydy/Nac ydy, Ie/Nage, Ydyn/Nac ydyn, Oes/Nac oes. Plus all the mutations are driving me mad.
