OT - putting the 'W' word to one side - who are you?

WhiteRose84, 7 April, 2011 at 11:17 Posted on Planning 0 181

I'll start -

I work in sales/websites - I live with my OH with a rabbit and dog. I like films, gigs, food and wine! I love holidays and would happily skint myself for a year so I can go on a nice holiday! My OH wants kids (soon) but I feel I'm still a tad young (haha! - I wish!) xx

(Added: I love Gavin & Stacey, Inbetweeners and Shameless!)

    I live in South London, and work in an administrative/fundraising role for a large Christian charity based in London. My hobbies include online gaming, model railways, photography and eating cupcakes.

    I don't drink, smoke or do drugs, or have any tattoos or piercings. Really I'm quite boring.

    Favourite films include Revenge of the Nerds (all 4), The Titfield Thunderbolt, Convoy, and I find Jethro and Bill Bailey amusing. Musically I prefer 70's and 80's stuff, and prog rock.

    I have three goldfish, and 6 functional PC's in the house all networked together. I have no idea why. My first computer was a Sinclair ZX81 which still works.

    I am curing blindness. My boy sells body parts. We used to have a hamster called Julian but he died. It was about five years ago, mind. We listen to music and argue about my vague-communist versus his Yorshire-boy-turned-Tory-boy politics. My teeth hurt.

    Love this idea! I am 27 and I work in education (teaching and research). I live with my OH and my dog Wendy (who is my small, black, furry daughter). I love food - I love cooking and I slowly getting better at it. I love sunshine and Spring time. I am obsessed with cheesy horror films (particularly 80s slasher films), and I read EVERYTHING in sight - I'm the sort of person that gets a bit twitchy if the cereal box isn't on the breakfast table and I haven't got anything to read! I love travelling and I have backpacked in loads of places...ummmmmmmmmm, I love music and I love dancing the night away with my friends. I love clothes, and getting ready is usually my favourite part of my day! (well...days when I am at work, anyway!)

    I am 22 and doing a Masters degree in Legal and Political Theory. My dissertation is going to be on the legitimacy of state intervention into citizens' relationships and marriages. I live with Mr J in a tiny 1-bed flat in south-west London which costs an extortionate amount in rent but I love it and couldn't leave London. I enjoy making and eating cupcakes, looking after Mr J, and generally living the 50s-housewife dream. I would like babies after we're married but only when we can realistically afford it, which may not be for another few years.

    Well I am 28 (29 the month after the wedding) and I live in the Warrington area with the OH and my dog Duke! OH has a daughter so we have her some of the time, we live in a 2 bed semi that is currently on the market if anyone is interested haha!! Want kids but gotta wait until after the wedding as I am old-fashioned that way.

    I am a teacher so currently on 2 week Easter (even tho it's not Easter) holidays. Worked in my current school for nearly 2 years now and work with some great people (some not so great but thats life hey?!) I enjoy hanging out with friends, drinking wine and watching trashy TV including 'W' programmes 'Don't tell the bride' and other similar ones. Also enjoy watching Shameless and Prison Break and One Tree Hill (sad I know). I love the fact that it's getting warmer coz I love the sunshine, it makes me smile...I'm sure I have that S.A.D thing where u get depressed in Winter lol ?

    I'm 30 and an accountant and work in the city of London in the world of hedge funds (not interesting) me and OH live in North west Kent in our little 2 bed terraced house that we bought 18mths ago.

    For fun - Drinking and party tricks (being able to out a 14st man on my shoulder and balancing a full pint glass on my chest while leaning backwards!) and I go and watch my OH play football on a Sunday a team who I actually take pre seasoning training as between the ages of 12-20 I played women's football at quite a high level!

    I want a dog now but actually I want a baby but we have to wait till we're married now as we'd be commiting "financial suicide" if we had one now!

    I am affectionally known as the google queen at work and my whole life is on a spreadsheet (which amuses the hell out of everyone that knows me)

    I'm the Nicky half of Millie and Me, Millie being my gorgeous yellow lab! Like Sherrie, I am in the 'W' industry.

    I live in the Wye Valley which I adore, but love getting out for a trip to the city whenever I can. I love good food, wine, Tanqueray Gin and Maltesers. I could happily spend all my days with my nose in a book, preferably crime fiction!

    I talk WAY too much, love watching golf, rugby and tennis and am usually haivng a crisis about something or other!!

    I am a "nice", pink and fluffy nurse. I hate the word "nice" though as it's so blah. I love my belly bar because it's about the most rebelious thing that I've done. I'm addicted to H, facebook and texting. I'm a natural worrier. I'm quiet but once I know people, you can't get me to shut up. Nursing is literally my life and I run a St John Ambulance Cadet division with one of my best friends. I met my OH at work in A+E and have been together for 4 years (on the 28th). I didn't even realise he fancied me! Haha We have two cats who are our babies and we adore them even though they can be monsters.

    Think that's about it ?

    Great idea - I'm 27 will be 28 in July so will be married just after my 29th birthday and OH is 13 years my senior (I'm his toy girl ?)

    OH and I have been together for 5 years (it was our anniversary in march) we have a gorgeous little boy together who is our world and he will be 2 in may. Currently working part time as a receptionist and full time mum and housewife lol. We also have a beautiful cat named Blue who our son adores but teases like mad!!

    Before becoming a mum I was a graphic designer and IT support analyst which I loved but got made redundant as I didnt want to work full time after having our little boy. I love spending time with my friends and family and love to party with my girlfriends whenever I can. My family are very important to me and get on so well with OHs family too esp his mum and dad.

    I'm a huge TV addict and love anything murder related - Bones, Waking The Dead, Midsommer Murders ... you get the drift (I always wanted to be a forensic scientist growing up) I love baking cakes and do it to relax quite often. Oh - I'm addicted to hitched!!

    I am 25 (26 the week after the wedding!), live in Kent / South East London and work in Stratford - something to do with the games but thats all I can say!

    OH is 30 (will be 31 when we marry) and has 2 kids from previous, so i am step mum to a nearly 8 year old girl and nearly 11 yr old boy! We also have a cat - Maggie-May who is a complete princess.

    We live in a 2 bed flat which OH bought after we'd been together 4 months and i moved in 2 months later...

    I like going out, drinking and dancing, however i can never afford it cos of the 'W'!!

    I am 5ft 4, brown hair that i stupidly cut ten inches off into a bob last June that i am now trying to grown back.

    Not sure what my blood type is!!

    I'm 25, Canadian and living in England for nearly 4 years now. I live with my fiancee and our cats in Nottingham. I give most of my income to various airlines, Air Canada being the most frequent, and I want to do a lot more travelling before we have kids. I'll listen to any music, but my own collection is a bit odd if you put it all together. I have also started to adopt my OH's taste in TV and have possibly watched every Don't tell the bride ever made.

    I'm 23 but technically 5 & 3/4 was born on a leap year, hated it when growing up now kinda like it.

    I'm a full time mum to a gorgeous little 2 year old boy. Who has now hit the terrible 2's i might add. Me and 0h have been together for nearly 4 years (although feels like so much longer) got engaged 3 years ago.

    Absoluetly love cooking & watching cookery programs, really doesn't help when trying to lose weight for the wedding. Love doing anything to do with art/craft. Which has helped with the 'w'. Not sure what i'm going to do with myself after though.

    Not been on here long but already addicted.

    I work in Admin, have worked for the County Council for the last 6 years, just left there as commuting was too much and now currently working part time as an administration for a small local firm.

    I love the 80's music, Dirty Dancing, Grease, am probably a bit of a girly girl at heart, like the colours Pink and Purple, enjoy trying to keep myself fit (currently working my way through the 30 day shred!!).

    Have a large family with plenty of cousins/aunts/uncles and now have 2 new little nephews who are adorable! love spending time with my family, friends, son and OH, miss my friends terribly (have now moved just under 1hour away).

    Love coming on to H and seeing everyone else's ideas/themes/flashes of their weddings.

    I'm 23 (although constantly have to ask OH to remind me how old I am), work in sales, and live with my future husband in a 2 bed house in Watford. We've lived together for 3 years, with a mortgage for 1, and have been together for 6 years. We have a really fluffly black cat called George who only has 4 teeth.

    My dream job is a west end actress or a crime scene investigator, I love eating out and my favourite food is Spanish. I want as many babies as possible as soon after the wedding as is financially viable!

    I have my nose pierced which is about the most radical thing I have ever done.

    Thank you and goodnight.
