Roll call...

Ooh, good idea (I'd volunteer to be the new OT cheerleader but my presence is very sporadic as it depends entirely on how much I can get away with posting at work)

Name: Mrs P (will hopefully be changed when I get off my backside and e-mail Hitched get round to it)

Age: 27

Reason for being here: Joined WP just before I got married as everytime I googled for the answer to a question a hitched thread came up and provided the answer. I'm too attached to the place to leave so NEEEED OT to revive so I can kill time before graduating to BT.

Specialist knowledge: Ummmm, cake? (eating not baking I might add, though hope to rectify that in the not too distant future)

Name Teehee/nona

Age 36

Reason for being here; Joined to plan wedding. Have no life. Moved in.

Specialist Knowledge; Homemaking; Vintage loveliness and Interior design.

Name: December 1984

Age: 25

Reason for being here: I graduated from WP after our wedding last October. I pop back every now again to see if I can offer any advice. I spend most of my Hitched time on BT but we're not planning on ttc until next year so I've been lurking on OT for a while. I think the whole revival thing is a good idea!

Specialist knowledge: I don't think I can specialise in anything really ?

Snap! I'm a lurker on BT though. I think if I immersed myself in the BT community any more than as just an observer at the moment I'd become so broody I could seriously compromise my sanity.

?

Currently a sporadic poster due to the boychild taking up all my time, and him kindly spilling coffee over my beloved laptop, which is now at the doctors. (I'm hoping for a miracle that PC doc can fix it, but the term 'buggered' was used ?).
