  • Oh, it's beautifully sunny and fresh outside and I am completely and utterly ashamed to admit that I have the dryer on. I just couldn't be bothered this morning because I'm so ashamed of the state of my garden I don't want to go out there (I REALLY hate gardening).

    I'm almost 35, live with OH and my 2 kids (7 and 3) and I am a teacher of big kids (comprehensive school).

    La E - I am doing a Mr T photobook. The software is really easy to use and the books are great quality

    Oh the who am i game!

    I am 28 in a couple of months. I live with my Hubby who i married in Cyprus last year- we have two daughters aged 9 and 6. We live in sunny North Devon. I love living by the sea, photography and the colour Orange! I work as an administrator with accounts thrown in. I am actually now fully AAT trained and will look for another job when the kids are a little bit older! I love the flexibility of my job now while they are young :D

    Ohhhhhh DNMS...do we have to play your game?!?:rotfl:

    Now I have to tell everyone that I'm 40:o:o (I preferred my age beginning with a 3;))...um I'm a divorced mother of 2 girlies who are 14 and 12. I work in a primary school as a TA with infants, which I love. I've been there about 8years. I'm also dragging out a foundation degree in education studies _ dragging it out as I got behind when I was ill, and haven;t the motivation or interest to work very fast now:D

    Hope you're all enjoying this lovely, sunny Sunday:)
    I really need to sort out a new signature!

    Hi guys!

    I am 30 in a matter of weeks! Today I'm looking for a costume to wear to my 30th - having a safari themed house party - I'm a zebra :cool:

    I live with my hubby and an aquarium of fish... Have so far resisted getting a puppy but next door have a gorgeous border collie pup visiting today so it's getting more tempting by the minute... :D

    I work in pensions by day - yawn yawn. :p

    (Still not done my yoga coursework...)

    Love to you all xxx
