  <sings> Getting to know you-ooooo <sings> - Regulars and lurkers, roll up!

  Madonna Joined on 30-Sep-2003 United Kingdom Posts 23,861

  Contact Well as no-one said it was an awful idea... Hello! I'm Madonna (almost my real name), I'm 34 this month, and mum to Sofie (today aka Dorothy from W Of Oz), aged 2 and a half. I live in Essex/London with my husband, the aforementioned child and two cats who moult constantly. IRL I'm in HR, though I'm currently on maternity leave following the birth of my son Joe, sadly stillborn in July this year. I have my own little kleek of DTBOH (Determined to Bring One Home) in that I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant with baby number 9. I love HPAD (photography) and chocolate. If Canon made a chocolate lens I would gleefully combine the two.   Your turn... Inspired by Sofie, Milo and all my angels, most recently Joe http://www.justgiving.com/JoeDonn/ Ideas and donations welcome x

  Contact Its a great idea Madonna. I'm Sam, 28 and Mum to Amelia (14 months) who is our first child.  We live in Swindon and I have done for the past 5 and a half years since meeting H.  I used to live just 20 miles away in a little village not too far from Oxford. IRL I work in the railway industry in project management and have done for 5 years.  Im currently studying with the OU for a degree in Management and Leadership, specialising in change and managing behaviours. I love shopping, reading and above all else learning about photography (HPAD is brilliant) and writing.  I used to write and contribute for articles in teen magazines as a hobby when I was younger and wish I'd taken it up full time as a journalist.  I am also terribly organised and love any excuse to organise a party or a project. Mum to A (September 2008) MMC August 2010. MMC2 May 2011.

  ebee Joined on 07-Sep-2003 Glasgow Posts 12,630

  Contact Well Hi there  I'm ebee (which was my initials pre wedding back in the days when I frequented WP )  I have two boys Finn (4) and Callan (2 and a half)  with a 20 month gap which has turned out to be harder work than I anticipated Before the boys I was a radio journalist and lived a sparkly life full of celebs (well OK, mainly d-list scottish 'personalities')   and never went back after Finn was born. I've been on here for ages and am lucky to count hitchers (past and present) among some of my close mummy friends..    I started up a wedding videography business last year which is great as I can work round the boys, but I am constantly worried I'm not good enough I keep meaning to leave here, but keep coming back...
