    lol monnagram - apparently when I was a small child, if anyone asked if I was tired I'd say - "not tired - just hungry" :) Now it's both!! :(

    I'd also love to know what it's like not to feel constantly knackered, it's too long ago to remember :/

    Oh <hugs>, Cat. You've been through a really rotten time, so you're likely to feel worn out. Your get up and go has gone on a break. It WILL return!

    We have a loco. Polo pony. We love her, she barely tolerates us.

    really? whats her name - OHs was actually called Loco when he bought him - and then promptly tried to demolish the horsebox delivering him.
    He hated men so me and OHs friend (female) had the task of gentling him. I still taunt OH that I got to ride him and he didnt!

    what IS it with polo ponies? my OH says they are all insane! comes from hanging around all those Nobs? :)

    Not that ALL polo players are Nobs! I think I will shut up now before I offend people!

    I have just stumbled across this thread and I LOVE it!

    I am usually to be seen being dragged across a muddy field in the distance by a over enthusiastic German Shepherd!

    I'm 5'7" and usually wear skinny jeans and my beloved biker boots I bought in 2009 and have hardly taken off since! My hair is the colour of whatever hair dye is on bogof at the supermarket!

    I don't have lapels on my jackets, so I may have to make a safety pin necklace or something.....

    Righty, off to hunt for pins!

    I'm stone cold sober but I'd just like to say how much I love you guys :j

    I've ticked so many boxes reading this...

    Small and round - Check
    Covered in dog hair/mud splashes - Check
    Trailing poo bags - check
    Rummaging by the reduced stuff...or heading through the door of a shop with a sale sign up - Check
    Has calculator in hand - check
    "Innapropriate" loud music in the car - Have fads...last one was Prince, currently Maroon 5 :o also like Bon Jovi - Check
    Will tell anyone who will listen how to save a couple of quid on their shopping - did I see that one?
    Probably wearing something bright (that was reduced as no one else would wear it - especially applies to underwear, but you won't spot that!)
    Likely to be wearing an owl or two somewhere on my person...

    I have to say, I too am quite surprised/interested to discover that we all seem to have rather a lot of similarities and tastes (other than the obvious beloved MSE :))
    I'm thinking:-
    Of a certain age (but NOT old!!!)
    Eclectic dress sense (!)
    Animal loving
    Perpetual sale/whoopsie hunters
    Slightly bemused/confused/frazzled/tired
    Organised disorganisation (lists/calculators!)
    Broad musical tastes (but veering towards the "heavier")

    This is worrying me now. In fact I'm a little freaked - are we real or are we a gestalt entity (think Red Dwarf)????? I think we should recognise each other, because we are the same - we are looking at ourselves. (Oh dear, thinking too much, it's never good. Quick, where's the alcohol??:D)

    "My name is Legion, for we are many." mmmmnnnn :think:
