    I'm December1984 and I spend most of my Hitched time on BT and occasionally WP if I think I can help! I'm 25 and got married last year - we're hoping to TTC next year. I work full time in payroll. In my spare time I like to read, spend time with H and I'd like to get into baking and gardening.

    I'm Deedee and spend too much time on BT, and I will be 35 a week on Friday ? I got married in 2007, and have a 16 month old baby boy (although not so much a baby anymore). I love singing, and sing with an amateur opera company, and get to perform on stage a couple of times a year, and also do quite a few concerts. I've also started singing a few gigs with my dad's rock band, which is a bit different. Don't have time to do much else these days with music and my baby.

    I went back work in March after maternity leave, and work 4 days a week as an IT Systems Analyst type thing, and live in the East Midlands.

    My name is Spangles and I spend far too much time on WP. I'm 27 and getting married very soon! Hobbies at the moment have taken a back seat to wedding planning however when I'm not being a bridezilla I can often be found baking, cooking and helping my mate with her horses. I live in Northamptonshire.

    ? Hi, I'm catarina, I joined a few months before I got married in 2005, but only lurked on wedding planning. I have been a BTer since Jan '06 after discovering I was pregnant - a complete shock (a shock who is going to be 4 years old next month ?) and have stayed there ever since. OT used to be too scary for me, but now I like it, so am planning being a BTer and an OTer.

    I'm 30 (almost 31) and a part time Early Years teacher. I don't really have any hobbies (sad, I know).

    It's lovely to see some people I haven't 'met' before over here, and to see some familiar BT faces as well.

    Hello, I'm Brat, aged 24. I live in the North Wales Countryside with my 3 cats, 9 chickens and 2 rabbits... And one Hubby to be! I'm Shropshire (Think Muller advert!) born and bred and only moved over to the welsh side of the border (Which is only 2 fields away!) last year. I am a part-time Nanny, caring for 3 different families.

    At the moment, I have zero hobbies except wedding planning and bargain hunting, it's taken over my life! We are getting married next November, which seems a lifetime away but I'm sure I will be kept busy with all my planning.

    After the wedding, we have plans to foster/adopt a kiddywinkle or two.

    Hello, I'm ActuallyMrsP. Don't let the awful, awful username fool you - I got married in November and am planning to change the username before I rack up my post count on the hopefully-soon-to-be-busy-again OT. Posted a wee bit on WP and lurk a frankly embarrassing amount on BT - hoping to TTC in spring. I'm 26 and a lawyer, hobbies are non-existant although going to the gym 3 times a week in an attempt to maintain my pre-wedding weight loss probably counts for something!

    I'm Vicki 28 from Milton Keynes. I live with my H of 4 yrs (married in Cuba), our son almost 15 months and 4yr old Rhodesian Ridgeback. My 18 yr old brother currently resides with us also but he's moving out to make room for Baby2 due Nov.

    I work part time as a Personal Injury Claims Handler and quite like working as opposed to looking after my son full time which is crazy hard work! How on earth will I cope with 2?

    When I'm not pregnant or BFing I like the odd glass of wine, G&T or cider. I love bargain hunting and toilet humour. I hate people who park in disabled spots or parent and child spots who shouldn't.

    I'm Claire, i'm 24 and originally from Scunthorpe in North Lincs but now live on the Cheshire/Staffs border with my H2B Luke. We're getting married in November 2011.

    My hobbies (when i'm not wedding planning) include singing, dancing, reading and crafty stuff like making cards and cross-stitch.

    I'm also slightly nervous about TTC in the future as i'm a non-identical twin (17% higher chance of hyperovulation!!) and there's twins on both sides of the family too!!

    Hi I'm Blackkat, I got married just over 3 weeks ago & can usually be found on wp. I'm so glad that we've managed to get OT going again. I'm 32 live in Aylesbury and am another primary teacher. I'd love to ttc but I want to wait till we get a house (currently renting) before we start trying so fingers crossed that we can be good & save a deposit soon.

    I'm mazzy, 26, and been around for about 3 years(?). Started out on WP until our wedding in Sept '08, god whacked by the broody stick, then did ALOT of lurking on BT and finally joined in 18 months ago when I fell pregnant with O, who is now my 9 month old little terror - but I loooooove him ❤️.

    Always too scared to join in on OT, but here I am!?

    I'm currently on mat leave, but in the real world, I work for a bank and live in the East Mids with O, my H and our cat, Kit.
