Hopefully not in quick succession?

I wish pigs were elbow only. With them it's more armpits.

Errm don't tell any one but ...Customer Development Manager I run the technical team and we, errrm well develop PVC recipes for building products

In my real life I do all the cooking, DIY,brewing ,baking and share the allotment with my OH who does a really crappy job which stresses her no end and she does all the cleaning/ironing/shopping chores. Which being a bloke apparently I'm useless at. ( I just don't see dirt the way she does

)
I think we're a good team.

One day I'll pluck up enough guts to stop being a wage slave, unfortunately it's probably going to take a major change (like redundency ...which isn't so far out of the question) to give me the push.

Erm - cooking, brewing, gardening, ironing, knitting, stitching, felt making.
Being unpaid chair of a big Allotment Society doing loads of boring admin and putting up with aggro and abuse from idle b*ggers who don`t tend their plots.
Running school growing club and allotmenteering for adults with disabilities.

Im an electrician at heart but have had to give it up as, being female, I can't find work on the sites in the area - It seems that having b**bies renders you incapable of handling a screwdriver!! So now I'm the administrator for a local development trust, which involves organising things, writing things, remembering things, typing things and rag rugging!

I'm a mum ('nuff said!), a student of herbal medicine, cat slave, carer for an elderly relative and hopefully, an all round good egg!

First and foremost I am Sophie's mummy. But I'm also a photographer-come-digital artist. ok so I'm a REALLY low earner at the moment but I've almost managed to pay off the credit for my camera.
I started out as a photographic technician for the local paper; the Echo. it's a sister paper to your Gazette, Chickenlady.
I used to process 800-1000 photos per week. sometimes more sometimes less. I miss the work I did, but not really the people, pay, boss, company, hours..... need I go on?!!

My hubby works for GWR fixing trains.

Are you a Basildon girl, then, Mrs Fibble? When I was little I lived in Langdon Hills and I went to Basildon College!

I used to know a journalist on the Echo, don't suppose she is still there now though.

born in nottingham, now a resident of south basildon (kinda near the hospital).... by way of Wickford, Chelmsford and both Prettygate and Lexden in Colchester. ok, to make sense... meand my mum live in notts until I was 9 when we moved to prettygate in colchester cos my stepdad got a better job there. then when he got an even better better job we moved to Lexden. Then i went off to uni in chelmsford, met my housemate's older brother, followed him to Wickford, moved to Basildon to be walking distance from the Echo, now no longer working at the echo we live in a cheaper and better situated area of Basildon. my parents are still in Lexden.
