10 things we dont know about you....

It's nice to 'get to know' people like this. It is also nice to read that so many people feel the same way as I do about themselves and their lives and that makes me feel a bit less alone, which is nice.

I have very few friends IRL but unlike most, that's the way I like it, I used to be very social but have now come to the conclusion that the majority of people in the world are just not very nice and so I'd rather not know them. I'm very happy with Mr S and the cats and I know that a lot of people think I'm a total loser because of that.

?

Aww Mrs B, I'm amazed.

Actually, I'm going to be really slushy here and say that I hope we all care. I know that hitched has been a life-saver for me in the past - in ways that none of you realise. Just the fact of knowing that you are all here... Anyway, I'm never particularly sentimental, but I just dont want any one of us to think that no-one cares.

Eric I agree completely, I'm really not sure what I would have done without hitched. Right I'm going to attempt my ten!

1. My Dad did when I was 11 and I dreamt he was going to die before he did which still upsets me.

2. I'm not afraid of dying at all.

3. I behave like a complete hussy at times

4. I'm a terrible liar unless it's something which benefits me/affects me etc when I'm fantastic at it which is perhaps a bit worrying

5. My Mum has told me she loves me once in the last goodness knows how many years

6. I very regularly dream of winning the lottery and what I'd do

7. I'm not at all artistic or musical but I wish I was

8. I wish I hadn't settled into a serious relationship at 18 but I was happy at the time

9. I wish my Mum was proud of me

10. You could never call me shy and I never shut up but I like the way I am ?

What a great thread.

1. I have panic attacks when I think that I've done everything "wrong" since I was a teenager and that I should have made every decision differently

2. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I hadn't got pregnant at 19

3. I am envious of my IRL friends who have done really interesting things and I've nothing to talk about

4. I hate the way I behave when I'm drunk. I'm a ridiculous arse and nobody likes me, but I can't help myself.

5. I'd love to spend loads of time and money on my appearance but there's no point.

6. (related to five) I hate failure, so I don't do things I know I can't do at least properly. I feign contempt for things which I'd secretly like but know I'd be rubbish at.

7. I have about 4 half-written novels lying about the place and gazillions of short stories but the chances of getting published (and earning any money if you are) are so infinitessimally small that I lose interest.

8. I am terrified about what the future holds financially as I think we might come to grief in a big way in the next few years. It's no one's fault, but pretty precarious.

9. I worry that I'll never find a job that I can stand doing without it making me miserable.

10. I have suffered from depression on and off since I was a child, but I'm only now realising how bad it's been for how long. I feel sad and cross that I won't ever get that lost time back again.

1. Whilst in school I wrote two Christmas Carols. One won a local competition and the other was performed on BBC Radio Wales

2. I cannot tell the difference between left and right. Nor can I use a scissors.

3. I was the top student in my school but have absolutely no common sense

4. After ending my first pregnancy at 22 weeks due to a dire prognosis I am convinced that god will make me pay by taking away my gorgeous 5 month old daughter. I constantly picture awful things happening to her and have planned her funeral.

5. I am excellent at algebra but diabolical at arithmatic

6. I used to be able to play the violin to grade 6 standard

7. I would love to perform in a musical in the West End. Sadly whilst I can sing to a reasonable standard my acting is atrocious.

8. I once broke my leg pretty badly and my foot faced 120 degrees in the wrong direction. Due to the aforementioned injury I am excellent on crutches and could probably compete in the crutch olympics if such a thing existed.

9. If my husband is two minutes late home from work I assume he has perished in a firey wreck

10. I am going to have two poems published in the SANDS poetry anthology.

Oh I haven't been hitching for about a month due to moving house and this thread reminds me why I find Hitched so interesting! I have genuinely sat and read all of the pages.

My 10 -

1. I have no middle name and it used to really upset me when I was younger as I thought it meant that my parents couldn't be bothered.

2. I had six imaginary friends as I thought one would get lonely on its own. They were all named after Enid Blyton characters.

3. I have too many books yet the thought of getting rid of any of them upsets me.

4. I read freakishly fast and got a detention at school because the teacher did not believe I had read the textbook. A literacy test that my mum made me do proved her wrong and my mother demanded an apology (the shame!)?

5. I am really scared of the dark. Unless my husband is with me I have to have the bedside lamp on. I also have a plug in nightlight on the landing so the dark isn't "out there".

6. I am really worrying about turning 30 this year and I know its getting a bit out of hand now!

7. I wish I could go back 10 years and give myself a slap for worrying so much about what people thought of her/thinking that she wasn't a 'nice' person. Its taken me this long to realise that I am actually quite pleasant to get along with and it doesn't really matter if other people disagree.

8. I really enjoy going for long walks over the moors with my son and husband.

9. Since having my son I cry at anything. I cried at Leona Lewis' 'A Moment Like This' video a couple of days ago. Previously I never cried at anything I watched on tv.

10. I was six before I could spell my name without help.

Me too - I also remember all the times when I said something deliberately or accidentally that I know or think will have hurt someone else.

Maybe the fact you don't want to parent children is why they love you so much - Rhys clearly thinks you are the bee's knees.

I hope it's ok to join in with this as I am still relatively new...

1. I have been with my partner 9 years and have postponed our wedding twice as I was so worried about how I would look in the photos, due to poor self esteem. (Incidently, I now have a much healthier relationship with how I feel about myself and we are finally getting married this year....).

2. I haven't eaten meat since I was 12, yet I feel my days of not eating meat may shorly come to an end...

3. I was placed second in the UK dancing championships for tap dancing when I was younger.

4. I have an excellent memory, to the point I can still remember the birthdays of old school friends.

5. I have two webbed toes on each foot.

6. I sometimes feel like a failure in terms of my career. I work at a University, however I know I could be doing so much more and be far more successful.

7. My father never told me that he loved me and I don't think to this day that he is/was ever proud of me.

8. I love to travel and feel lucky to have visited many places throughout the world. I also have an exceptional knowledge of many countries.

9. I spend far too much money each month on clothes, at times to the point it makes me feel gluttonous.

10. It is only in the past year that I have allowed myself to be happy and enjoy life more. I wasted so many years being miserable.

KTC - yes I think you probably would have heard of him. He's currently at Hull, used to be at Bulls.

You're not thick either!

1. I am a terrible judge of character - if I hate someone on first impressions I sometimes end up really liking them (and a few are really close friends now)

2. I have been on hitched for years but very rarely add to threads as I feel I have nothing interesting to say. In fact I thought I would type out my 10 things just to show myself what they are and then I wouldn't post.

3. I am usually a size 8/10 but feel I have the cellulite of a much larger person and I hate it.

4. I love to read and my favourite place to go is the library. One of my life goals would be to write a book.

5. I worry about losing the people I love, and I worry I dont show them exactly how much I love them when I have the chance.

6. I like my life, there are so many things I want but I am pretty lucky in what I have.

7. I am going to be off on maternity leave soon and I am frightened that I wont adapt to it like I did the last time. I was quite the earth mother the last time but I like going to work and having a bit of me time so I hope I am not too selfish this time round.

8. I swear far to much and I love it.

9. I am obsessed with celebrity culture and love to read all the gossip pages - its shameful.

10. I still have nightmares about how i messed up university, it haunts me.

1) I feel very overwhelmed at the moment and frequently think I've taken too much on trying to have two careers simultaneously. Instead of feeling proud of my accomplishments and success within both fields, I berate myself for not being able to decide between the two.

2) I lack confidence in everything and often replay conversations in my head, and subsequently beat myself up for voicing my opinion or getting paranoid that people think I'm stupid/mean/idiotic.

3) I am convinced I will die young and often lose sleep because I'm convinced my daughter will grow up without a mother. It's either a car accident or cancer.

4) I have a terrible diet, really bad and yet cannot change it, I'm slim but I eat no green vegetables, barely any fruit and as a result, am convinced that this might be one of the reasons for #3.

5) I love travelling and it is my ambition to visit all the states in America. I've done 13 so far.

6) I would move to the States in a heartbeat if I could, I only ever feel at home there. If it hadn't been for my H I would have tried everything I could to have continued working there.

7) I am avoiding calling/visiting my parents as they owe me over £8000 and they can't make payments any more. It makes me stressed just thinking about it.

8) I love my friends, I only have a small circle of friends but they are like family to me.

9) I judge my own worth based upon what other people think of me. (Or what I think they think of me!)

10) I am 30 soon and it scares me how quickly time has passed since my teens!

This has been an ace thread, and ?s to all those who need them. You're all fab, guys.?

Anyway, here are mine:

1. The nails on my little toes grow at right angles to the toe rather than following the line of the toe iyswim. This I think is cos my sister dared me to pull out my toenails when I was young and I did it and they grew in wonky. And one of them has just fallen out again and I don't know if it will grow back. Lovely.
2. I was a size 12 until I was in my late 20s and I used to be quite sneery about fat people. Oh, how it serves me right to be a size 20/22 now. I see young girls like I used to be sneering at me and I want to say to them "watch out, you might end up like me". But I never have.
3. I have given birth twice via the natural route but yet have never felt my waters break. (First time they all trickled away before I went into labour, second time the baby was born in the bag of waters!)
4. I feel invisible and that people - well, not that they don't like me as such as I don't think I come across as a particularly horrible person, but they are just totally ambivalent about me. That no-one really cares less at all - online and IRL. I sometimes wonder that if I died who would come to my funeral and would anyone be upset or crying. I feel like I never fit in. I go to baby groups etc and although I make small talk no-one seems to want to be my friend. I'm also frightened of trying to make friends with people in case I just look needy and pathetic.
5. I have never ever even so much as had a cigarette in my mouth or tried any kind of illicit drug. My only vice has ever been alcohol!
6. I love my 2 little boys more than anything in the whole wide world, I always wanted to be a mum, but I honestly think my life would have been just as happy if I'd never had them.
7. I like playing badminton but I am terrible at it. I even went on a 10 week course once and I was just as bad at the end as when I started. I think part of the problem is that I am left handed but don't feel comfortable holding the racquet in either hand so I swap them about!
8. After the accident I had last year I don't think I will ever pluck up the courage to get on a pair of skis ever again. I haven't fessed this up to my husband yet despite him making big plans for us to have a family skiing holiday next year as he will think I am just being stupid.
9. I think horrible things far too often. And I am convinced that one day that this is going to come back and haunt me, that I am going to lose someone or something that I really love and care about and people will laugh.
10. For months after giving birth to my first son I used to wish I never had him and used to fantasise about locking him in the boot of my car just to get away from him.

Two of my nearest and dearest need a kidney transplant. I need to decide who I will offer to be a donor to.

My husband is seriously ill/ long term disabled. If I had known this would happen, I would ever have married him.

I am seriously overweight, but even the pains that I get arent enough to make me lose weight.

I am frightened of losing weight and having loads of excess skin.

I am a teacher, and I hate some of the students that i teach.

I work with one hitcher, but she doesnt know (she confessed something on here that made me realise who it was) I now feel too embarrassed to 'fess up!

One of my closest friends is lovely, but her parenting skills are terrible. Her two sons are vile ,and it embarrasses me to go out with them on days out.

My house always feels unclean.

I wash clothes even though I have only had them on for a few minutes. My washing machine is always on.

One of my friends has a son who has had such bad plagiocephaly that I cant help but think how ugly he is. Protruding forehead and bulging eyes. I also secretly loathe myself for not being brave enough to raise it when he was young enough to have help for it.

I love this! Here are mine:

1. I lived with nuns for 6 months in the middle of France when I was 21

2. I want bigger boobs but think fake ones look awful.

3. I am scared of getting old and still act like a teenager, dressing up and going out every weekend etc

4. I didn't live with my husband until just before we got married

5. I lost my virginity at 15 to my now gay ex-boyfriend

6. I started going grey at school

7. I am terrified of anything happening to my Mum or sister, who are my only family left. I stay living in my home town as they live here and I couldn't bear to be away from them. It was OK when we were younger and more people were alive, but now, I couldn't.

8. People often think I'm thick and I'm not, and it secretly really annoys me

9. I slept around when I was younger and I loved it

10. When I was 23 I had a relationship with someone who I knew was married, and I think I will have to pay for this in some way now that I am married.

1. I play the violin and viola and have always refused to play solo

2. I failed my grade 5 theory exam on purpose to annoy my mum

3. I worry, about everything, all the time. I cover it up by seeming to be laid back, even H doesn't know how much I worry

4. I used to hitch all the time and loved it but a couple of people took the pee and I got upset and left

5. I don't like my mum, I love her but I think she's a cowbag most of the time

6. I love sarcasm

7. I don't think I'll ever be a solicitor but just can't give up on the idea

8. I take really good photographs but photography is H's thing so only I see them

9. I work really hard at my job even though I know its not going to get me anywhere

10. I'm a people pleaser to the extent that I don't really know who I am sometimes

1) I worked as an undercover reporter for Channel 4 and can use a hidden camera really well, including setting up shots.

2) I think I'm really boring and no one wants to hear what I have to say so I don't talk much

3) I have 4 friends (inculding Mr B) but don't tell them everything as I think they'll hate me

4) Sometimes I worry I'm going to kill myself, it's the thought of Mr B finding me, and my cats that stops me.

5) I'm fed up of feeling poorly and worry I'm making it all up but I honestly feel crap 98% of the time

6) I really want to be a teacher but as I've been trying to get on a course for 3 years I'm losing enthusiasm for it as I just see rejection at the end of the line.

7) I'm not very confient and feel lonely

8) I'm obsessed with Nick and Nora PJ and would live in them if I could

9) I'm trying to lose weight but have found myself cutting down on what I eat during the week so much it's scaring me

10) I find it hard to forgive my inlaws for what they did 5 years ago but know I need to in order to allow our relationship to move on but I can't.

1. I lurk here all the time but rarely feel confident enough to contribute.
2. None of my IRL friends would ever believe I was not confident.
3. I don't think anyone really knows me.
4. I am the main breadwinner and my H does not work.
5. The above worries me as I feel he is too reliant on me - not for material things but for company etc.
6. I can't remember the number let alone names of 90% of the men I've slept with.
7. My H is the only person I have been faithful to
8. My parents, whilst I love them deeply, drive me mad with their comments about how i need to loose weight, exercise more etc - "We're only saying because we love you". I KNOW _ JUST SHUT UP.
9. I want a baby more than anything and am now onto third IVF. I pretend it doesn't hurt but it does.
10. My secret vice is historical bodice rippers - I can read 3 a day.

I think Hitchers are fab - I guess that;'s why I and so many others lurk here being the silent members of this community. ?

I've stayed in bed and read these, very fascinating!

1) I love dancing around the house in my pants.

2) I feel like a total failure and that I have nothing at all to offer the world.

3) I was a total slut before getting married and sometimes miss it.

4) I love my dogs a little bit more than I love my husband. He knows this ?

5) I worry all the time about something happening to someone I love. It's so bad that it actually stops me enjoying things.

6) I had a fling with a Hollywood actor just before I met my H. He's supposedly very famous but I had no idea who he was!

7) I hate the way I look.

8) I can't take a compliment without saying something horrible about myself in return.

9) I have a strained relationship with my mother and I hate it. I wish we could get along more often as she's fabulous when she wants to be.

10) I'm very dim and amaze myself with the things that come out of my mouth but it makes me who I am so I except it.

Fab thread!

1. I'm adopted, but have no inclination to find my birth mother/father
2. My brother (also adopted) had a nervous breakdown at 17, was diagnosed with schizophrenia and temporal lobe epilepsy, and committed suicide when he was 29
3. I worked in a pathology lab after my degree, then trained as a teacher, then decided I didn't like children
4. I think I'm dull and lead a very dull life - but I'm happy with it
5. My favourite programme is Midsomer Murders
6. I once had sex in the engine room of HMS Beaver
7. I met my H through forums on another server - but it was nearly two years before I met him in real life
8. I love sniffing and stroking the little curls of hair on my H's neck
9. I've never wanted children, but I get very tearful when I hear about women who want them but can't have them
10. I still own and reread a lot of books from my childhood - especially Enid Blyton

1) If I'm not going to win, I'm not going to play

2) I'm incredibly selfish at times, I wonder how MrS puts up with me

3) I'm stronger than I think

4) I'm totally addicted to my exercise at the moment, I love it

5) I lost weight and I've kept it off for years now but I'm still terrified I'll wake up fat

6) Having children utterly terrifies me - I can't see what can be good about it at all. Surely it will just destroy my body, my relationship with MrS and my work?

7) I love my job, it's what I've always wanted to do but I don't think I work anywhere near hard enough

8) I worry hugely about MrS when he's riding his motorbike

9) I don't pay enough attention to my friends, especially ones who don't live near me and that I need to make an effort to see. That makes me sad.

10) I'm greedy/avaricious - I want a nice big house of our own and I find it hard when other people have it and we don't

I could go on...

I have been considering posting on this thread for a couple of days now but I'm really quite boring!

Here's my rather dull 10 -

1 - I love shoes and have a rather unheathly obsession and cant stop buying them.

2 - I'm quite good at keeping secrets.

3 - I love my cats and treat them like my babies.

4 - The thought of being pregnant and giving birth scares me to death. It just doesnt seem natural to me.

5 - I have a semi famous cousin.

6 - Mark Radcliffe kissed me on two seperate occasions.

7 - I can be quite cruel sometimes and quite enjoy it.

8 - I'm a selfish person.

9 - I'm fairly unsocialable and dont really like mixing with people.

10 - I sit all day every day at work with my coat on because I'm too fat.

I had no idea so many of the people on here who I think are ace have such massive hang-ups. You all rock so hard, it makes me want to weep that you don't see it.

Here's my 10:

1. I used to sing in a church choir when I was a kid (but a 20-a-day Marlboro habit during my teens and twenties pretty much put paid to my voice).
2. I passed the entrance exam for Oxford University, but totally fluffed the interview because I was so nervous.
3. Of all the jobs I've ever applied for, I've only been turned down twice.
4. I'm going to write a book. One day. Honest.
5. My (now) H and I lived on different continents for two years and totally lost touch.
6. I once did a charity hitch-hike from Hull to Dublin.
7. I'm a natural blonde, but sometimes wish I could change my hair colour.
8. I once arranged Tommy Vance's insurance for his Pontiac Firebird. He was lovely and kept calling me 'ma'am'.
9. If I'm not good at something almost immediately, I tend to give up.
10. I can't drink milk unless it's mixed with something else.

Some of you have such interesting lives!

1) I once had the entire Ethiopian police force looking for me

2) Although I worked for an airline for over 20 years I hate flying. Turbulence terrifies me and can reduce me to tears (I was once travelling with a client to the US to negotiate a global contract with her company and had to hide in the loo during moderate turbluence so that she couldn't see what I state I was in) ?

3) Despite hating to fly, I love to travel and have taken full advantage of the travel benefits of working for an airline. I've travelled to 120 cities and visted every continent except Antarctica (although I've sailed around Cape Horn - about 400 miles from Antarctica)

4) I can be painfully shy in social situations although I'm confident at work. Being made redundant has shaken my confidence completely and I'm dreading job interviews.

5) My cousin is a famous historian, frequently on television

6) I was ambivilent about having children until I found out that I needed a hysterectomy then I wanted them but it was too late

7) I've put on several stone in the last few years but although I hate the way I look I can't seem to get motivated to lose weight

8) I met my H online and the first time I met him IRL, I knew he was the one. It took him longer to decide that about me ?

9) My sister and I share the same birthday although she's 3 years younger than me and was born 6 weeks early

10) I love reading and spend more on books than on everything else put togther. If i don't have at least 10 books in my "to read" pile, I panic.

1. I was bullied from the age of 8 till I was 14. It ended when I finally turned round and smacked someone. I wish I'd done it sooner.

2. I dropped out of Uni after 2 years of a law degree. I don't regret dropping out, I just wish I'd done English instead.

3. I used to be heavily into Am. Dram as a kid, and wish I still had the confidence to do it as an adult. However, I can't sing for toffee and my dancing at this point would resemble an elephant in slippers doing the okey cokey.

4. I sometimes resent WTP for being so nice - everyone he meets loves him, and he can talk to absolutely anyone about anything. I can't do this; I worry I'm boring people

5. I loved but didn't like my oldest daughter for a good year after she was born - it took me about 6 months to love her. I feel bad about this, because I was blaming her for the awfulness of her birth.

6. I used to work in a boutique hotel in London - dead posh, hideously expensive, utterly pretentious, full of actors, models, royalty etc, but still rented rooms for the afternoon to some Saudi prince for a shag.

7. I bite my nails

8. I can't work either whether I'm thick or lazy - I suspect it's laziness, in so much as if you don't try, then you fail because you didn't try. If you try and fail, then you're fick, innit?

9. I don't handle guilt well and have had two depressive episodes because of it.

10. I hitch out of habit these days. I don't post very often, because since my kids, I just don't have the necessary time to do the chitter chatter thing, or the inclination to get into the full on arguing with stoopids thing.

I think you're all really brave for sharing. x

1) When I was younger I was a fairly successful model. I don't tell people this though as I worry they will think "how can she ever have been a model she is ugly?"

2) My real mother is an alcoholic. I've had nothing to do with her for over 15 years and I don't even know (or care) if she is alive or dead. This may sound harsh but she stole a large part of my childhood and innocence with her behaviour.

3) It took me over 10 years to pass my driving test. Even though my stepmum is a driving instructor ?

4) When I was in my early teens I got very drunk at a friends house and had to be put to bed by her brothers friend. He is now one of the most famous singers in the world.

5) I adore my horses, I would give up/ lose everything in my life (apart from my son) before I got rid of them

6) Despite having a son and another baby on the way, whom I adore. I don't actually like children. my worst nightmare is when someone thrusts a newborn at me and says 'Here, have a hold'.

7) I like feeling hungry, it makes me feel 'clean' and in control

8) I have no 'off switch' when it comes to booze or drugs. I no longer take recreational drugs because of this and I have to try and be careful with booze. It frightens me sometimes what damage I may have done to myself in my teens and twenties.

9) I know that one day I will run a sub 3hour marathon

10) I get along better with men than I do with women

I love these!

1, whenever I am ill/ sad/ hungover I need orange ice lollys. They are the only lollies i eat and i can eat a pack in one sitting.

2. I have never considered whether i enjoy my job, and have no dream job. I put very little thought into whether I'm happy at work, I just get on with it.

3. I am a terrible snob, and am not concerned or ashamed by it.

4. I sometimes think it would be fab to have an enourmous family, -5, 6 children.

5. I have no issue with nudity and don't care who sees me naked.

6. I worry that the confrontational nature of hitched has made me narky IRL.

7. I suffer terribly from the grass is greener symdrome and worry that this mean I will never be happy as I am Always, always after something else. I am hoping this is either 20s selfishness or will stop when I find what I want in life.

8. Despite being snobby, I was rasied to be extremely hard working and have had tons of jobs most people woud hate. I woud have no problem doing any of them again on top of my FT job and find it puzzling that people look down on this.

9. I am scared of not working and can not for the life of me understand why some people dream of it. I have no intention of retiring. All of my grandparents worked until the day they died.

10. I don't have a problem with hair in my food. i have no idea why, it just doesn't strike me as disgusting. i pull it out and carry on eating.

I was guessing at Gavin Rossendale who's married to Gwen Steffani.

Ok, so here are mine.

1. I think I'm starting to enjoy being a single mum. Looking out for my daughter and myself is a lot easier than trying to look after a grown man too.

2. I play the flute, oboe and saxophone and have achieved my Grade 8 exams in all of them.

3. I wish I could play the piano but I can't seem to get both hands to play different things.

4. I'm lazy, I got straight A's in school but I can't seem to motivate myself to do as well now I'm responsible for myself.

5. I'm going back to university in October to do the degree I always wanted to do, not what I did when I was 17 as my parents thought my degree choice was "useless". I'm hoping that doing a degree I love will help solve Number 4.

6. I self harmed until I was 19. I still feel like doing it now.

7. I wrote to PostSecret and had it published.

8. I love watching Murder, She Wrote.

9. I'm afraid of the dark.

10. Someone who I thought was a good friend, wrote some hurtful things about me on an internet forum and I didn't cull her. I wish I had've as now she's ended up hurting me more.

1. I don't work, I've never wanted/had a career and I have no intention of working ever again so long as H continues to be happy to support me. I might have a rethink if he starts minding!

2. I hate raw tomatoes - I'll eat them cooked or sundried but not raw.

3. Having been adopted as a baby, I have now culled or been culled by every member of my "family" which is surprisingly liberating and has meant I've been able to revolve my entire life around my H and his family instead.

4. My love of Rolf Harris is almost obsessive - I know that when he dies I will be distraught to the point of being hysterical and needing to be slapped. Hard.

5. I loathe children/babies to the point that I get almost tearful/panicky if they're in close proximity to me and I can't remove myself from the situation.

6. I can't stand any of the music my H listens to - and vice versa.

7. I can't speak any foreign languages but at school invented a language called "Agy" which I used to speak fluently with my closest friends and successfully p1ssed off all the teachers and classmates who couldn't understand what we were saying. Which was sort of the point.

8. I spectacularly failed a lot of my O levels and regret even bothering turning up for most of them. I did get an A level in Psychology at evening class when I was 26 and a place at Exeter Uni that year but gave up after a term because it was too much hard work/stress. Interestingly, that period of my life never featured on any version of my CV.

9. I hated just about everything about my wedding because we had no money and did it all on a shoestring. Thankfully my H was the only thing I was happy with and still am to this day but looking at photos of the day makes me feel resentful that it wasn't really what I wanted. H doesn't know this.

10. I'm hoping to emigrate in the next two years. I don't really care where to as long as it's English speaking and me and my H continue to have a wonderful life together.

This thread reminds me so much of the Confessions thread and has been lovely to read. You are all so interesting and funny and quirky, the Hitched community at its best!
