Thanks for posting I feel like i know you all better already

Hi, I'm Shirley and I'm 38. I am single (long story ) and am currently living with my elderly parents. I work full time in a university Library office. A lot of my spare time is spent with the Irish Red Cross both training other people and providing first aid cover at events. I am trained to paramedic standards. When I get time I do cross stitch, knitting, reading, watching tv and sleeping

I'm Michelle, I'm 22, live at home with my parents and currently single, no kids and two cats. My hobbies include stitching, reading and watching cricket and I'm a member at Warwickshire CCC. I work full time in admin and have been at the same company for 6 years. Nice to meet everyone

Hi i'm Rachel, 37 yrs old and been married to Paul for allmost 14 yrs. We have 4 children Ellie (Helen) 17, Max 12, Thomas 5 and our very big surprise Kate 2. I'm a stay at home mum which i love, it means i get to do loads of stitching with my mum and sister who come over every Wednesday.

When i'm not on here i love to stitch and try to make cards.

Great question Steph.

My name is Jess, I'm 20, a Christian and single. I am currently working part-time whilst undergoing some treatment. I work for my family's law firm - I like it there, everyone is lovely. I have a hamster named Cecil who is such a fuzzball - so hairy but very cute and he loves to play. I adore cross stitch, reading and Star Trek. God is the most important person in my life - I've not always had an easy time in life but since getting closer to Him I've been looked after very well - although healing is always easy! The way I look at it - life isn't easy no matter who you are, but I'd rather have God's help than not

Oh and I'm one of those "allergy" people - can't have milk or wheat and unfortunately I really like Mars bars!!! Noooo!

i am amina, 23 yrs old, have been married to omar for four and half yrs now... we have one son... abdullah (10 months old)... who is a lil monster...i used to work in a playgroup... until i got pregnant... since then i am a housewife...
i love cross stitching, knitting,and reading...and now am also thinking about doing some cardmaking...
i like this forum quite alot... and have met some really lovely people here... who are really helpful...

Yup great idea, been ages since we did one of these.

I'm Janice, 42, happily married to Pete, we have one son Andrew who is 8 and 2 mad working Cocker Spaniels, Vahri and Rufus.

I work part time, 12 hours a week, in the office of a local authority nusery - which I enjoy.

I love to cross-stitch (now theres a shocker LOL) and enjoy doing my family tree, which I've been doing on and off for a year now - very addictive.

Other than that I'm either on the puter or walking the woofies.

I'm Emily, 17, and I have a boyfriend Marc who lives at our house a lot, and my brother loves to steal him and play games with him (PS2, rugby...). I live with my mum, 'Bouncy Tigger' and Jozef (13) and we have five cats (Tufty, Steele, Fish, Star and Dust), a hamster (The Fluffy One), a gecko (Echo) and seven snakes (cornsnakes Rover, Bagpuss and Kelloggs, Royal Pyhtons Tigger, Simon and Monty, and Brazilian Rainbow Boa Micki).

I volunteer at the Cleveland Child Contact Centre on a weekend, and during the week I go to college - studying AS English Lit-Lang, AS Textiles, A2 Biology, A2 Critical Thinking and A2 Psychology, and then Basic Counselling Level 2 on a Tuesday evening. And then on a Monday I go to Slimming World and have about three more stone to lose before I'm happy with my weight!

I like cross-stitching (common, on this thread... how odd? [not!]), reading, watching films and television, listening to music, card-making (for special occasions only!), writing stories, and jigsaws - and probably other things I've missed, too. I also like my Nintendo DS but I can't find the charger! I actually bought it with money I made from stitching Prilla (the fairy) for Anchor!

well miny turn
