loobyg:

6. I cannot stand 'text speak'and refuse to reply to anybody that uses it

Urgh yes, me too.

1. I miss the sea terribly and am truely a country bumpkin at heart.

2. I quit my PhD 2.5 years in as I couldn't face writing up and had lost interest.

3. I feel my life is on hold at the moment, I'm waiting....for.. being able to move out of London, being able to quit my job, being in a position to TTC no.3, being able to go back to uni and retrain as a midwife, blah blah blah.

4. I love Starbucks, cheese & marmite panini with a skinny vanilla latte followed by a chocolate brownie please

5. I've suffered domestic violence (not at the hands of my H before anyone worries).

6. My favourite animal is the elephant.

7. I love music, and used to play the flute and saxaphone before leaving for uni.

8. I'm lonely and wish I could make friends easier.

9. I love running, and WILL get fit enough to enjoy it again.

10. I miss reading, I love to read, but can't seem to fit it in anymore.

I love these threads, I am so nosy!

1. I love cheese. So much in fact that as a wedding present, my friends clubbed together to buy a 'years worth of cheese' - a bi-monthly delivery of the finest cheese. I had to postpone half the deliveries due to being pregnant, but am loving it now I can eat whatever I want!

2. I hate shoe shopping. I depresses me. I have wide feet and a very high instep, plus I am tall at 5'9" so don't want to wear rediculous heels

3. I love being off work, I have no desire to return, although I've not been brave enough to tell my H

4. I need to go to a dentist but I am scared and haven't registered with one near where I live. Stupid I know as I can get 'free' treatement courtesy of the NHS for another 9 months

5. I love the water, I was a canoeing instructor for years before I moved to London. I love being in the sea and swimming in pools, yet I only do this once a year now

6. I love cooking, and I love eating. I don't do enough adventurous cooking any more as my evenings are spent encouraging the baby to sleep

7. I too, like Looby, cannot stand text speak. My eyes bleed when I see it written down

8. I can tie a cherry stalk in a knot in my mouth

9. I am a glass half full person, whereas my H is often half empty. It saddens me when he clams up and feels so miserable about our housing situation (we need to move). I wish he could be as full of optimism as me

10. If I could have 3 wishes, one of them would be for my dearest friend who has been DTC for 5 years to have a sticky successful pregnancy. You'll have to wait and find out about the other 2 wishes

I am 27 and my OH is 48. His oldest daughter is only 3 years younger than me.

I am unbelievably nervous of being a mum and it's not something I ever thought would happen.

My mum died 8 years ago of CJD and I am still heartbroken.

My sister is on the verge of being culled and I never knew I could dislike someone so much.

I am starting my counselling degree in September and I am very excited

I have very few female friends and wish I had a best friend

I am utterly all consumed by my love for my OH and he is my most favorite person

I am addicted to Hitched but don't feel I have enough life experience to be able to help people

I love shoes and I keep my Louboutins in their box on top of my wardrobe so NO ONE can touch them

I am too nice for my own good and need to toughen up!

1. I love scrapbooking, knitting and card making - but don't get enough time for any of them. I have a huge craft stash though.

2. In September I will be starting a PGCE to retrain as a science teacher. I am really looking forward to it.

3. I once won a talent competition at Pontin's playing the recorder.

4. We moved last year from Manchester to Ely and I still really miss my friends up North. There is loads more for me to do with the boys here (and much better craft shops) but I've found it really hard to make friends.

5. I've never eaten peanut butter.

6. I love tea, we have to buy the bags of 1500 teabags!

7. My husband proposed to me at York station, almost exactly on the spot where we'd first met.

8. I didn't learn to swim until I was 22.

9. When I was small I had an imaginary friend called woggle who lived in the bathroom cabinet.

10. My Dad died when I was 24 and has missed so many important moments in my life. He never met my husband or his grandchildren.

9 - Since having Ethan, I've made the best friends I have ever known

10 - I can't think of 10 interesting things about me!

Wren:

1. I wish I had a 'best' friend - I'm loyal and feel I have the qualities people would want in a close friend, but for some reason seem to have lots of casual friends, but no real special friends.

I agree with so many things that the others have said but this really struck a chord with me.
