My OH was 19 years older than me. We were going to move (husbands job) to Gibraltar when the children were small, OH was offered a teaching post there. Cancelled because the British Government fell out with the Gibraltar Gov.

Although I am right handed I eat with my knife and fork the 'left handed' way. One of my 2 right handed daughters is like me, and my left handed daughter eats the right handed way!!!

Bumping this up!


I am (very) afraid of moths!

[ZIZI]

Me too Gemini and butterflies Spiders. I cannot even look at pictures of them!!!

MMM what else, oh yes I was on my own in the hospital when I was waiting for D to be born. There were going to induce me. There was a girl in the next room being induced and she was shrieking her head off. I took fright and ran out of the hospital ten days overdue looking the size of a baby elephant and in my nightie, dressing gown and slippers. I got quite far down the road before they caught me. I was completely hysterical and distraught. I was only 18 at the time and they had to sedate me! Unfortunately the only other pregnancy I had was my still born daughter.

I was an au pair in Belgium for a year, no surprise to those who know me to hear that I hated it - that thing beginning with H and ending with work was far too much to expect me to do, I think that is where I truly decided to be a mucky trollop....

I used to play hockey, tennis and rounders for my school. I pasted a series of tests and tournaments to qualify for a scholarship to the local tennis club but that was all pushed to one side when my sister died at the age of 16 and then later on mum and dad divorced .

Mimi - that's very sad. I'm sure the loss of your sister put everything else on hold, and one of the saddest facts about such tragedies is that not many marriages survive the loss of a child. Your growing up years must have been clouded by events beyond your control. <<<hugs>>>

Awww dear. Such sadness & heartache reading some of these posts. It brings back memories of earlier days but I try not to go there. As they say backwards is not the direction I'm going. Forwards is the way for me now. Admiration for the ladies who can share their sadness tho. Hugs from me too.xx

I have a dark brown birthmark on my stomach that my Mother swore is the shape of a mouse! Apparently when she was pregnant my Dad found a mouse in the house and held it up to show her. She reckoned she was so shocked by it, it left it's mark...on me! HaHa!

[Gemini]

Ladies, I thought your stories of miscarriages and stillbirths deserved a thread of their own. I took the liberty of starting one for you, and moving your posts. It's in Memorials.

More than 40 years ago I was photographed by a young journalist named Piers Morgan. Now there can only be one I tell myself... I tried so hard to chat him up but he was so very charming in his refusal!
