Wanted to echo what am said, one of the best threads of the year Gail really good idea of yours well done.
 
Great thread Gail! Ok, here goes...

Serious:
1. I've lived in 10 different locations (6 with my parents, 4 since leaving home) so I'm somewhat nomadic
2. My family and boyfriend are brilliant
3. I work in a cancer department, which is nowhere near as depressing as you'd think
4. I have a 1st class degree in physics
5. I've just applied for a new job in Sheffield

Fun:
1. I play the flute, not well, but it's fun
2. I'm learning to do back somersaults on a trampoline
3. I once got run over by a bouncy castle
4. I make great chocolate chip cookies
5. I love walking on deserted beaches
 
ooo fab idea....now my turn...which am finding quite hard to do!

5 serious things:

1) I work for the Police (now 5 years) as a Prosecution case worker as cannot be an officer due to my diabetes but....am in the middle of studying in disclosure got 100% in one of the tests and a distinction in one of my essays....one more essay to go thank goodness but causing me stress in the meantime!
2) Have a beautiful daughter who was in the SCBU when she was born and i suffered badly with Post natal depression at the time.
3) Can look on the negative side of things and hence can often feel unlucky most of the time! 🙄
4) Have recently lost 2 and a half stone (took me a year) but am well pleased.
5) Not sure in my old age if i can do two things at once as just yesterday, i set the cooker alight whilst trying to multi task!

5 Fun things:
1) I am a kickboxer - second brown belt...want my black belt... with some disciplined training I won't let T1 diabetes stand in my way.
2) I am quirky / artistic (is that two things?)
3) I have done a lot of travelling and climbed Mount Sinai
4) I enjoy cooking even though i set the kitchen alight! 😱
4) I love Sex and the City (about the only girly girl thing about me) - (my bridesmaid stood up and did a speach on our wedding day and in her closing speach said as Samantha did from SnC to Carrie "You'd better look after our girl" which was totally unexpected and great at the same time)!
 
Here goes:

Serious:

1) I lost my Father about three weeks ago. Still can't believe it.
2) Love what I'm doing at university and have agreed to lend a had with the next years lectures on Diabetes.
3) I use a pump.
4) I've been told I'm something of a very giving person who doesn't like to think of themself.
5)I'm never one to sell whatever talents I have due to the fact that I am rather self deprciatory.

Not so serious:

1) My sense of humour is vile.
2) I'm something of a rather quiet and timid person when confronted by new people. Strange as that may sound to those I met at the last meet!
3) Iron Maiden seems to be keeping me sane at this moment in time.
4) I dance very badly and as a consequence I am always single!
5) I believe beer is the substitute for water in any situation...
 
Thanks guys got to be honest this idea comes from a mental health web site i go on so its not 100% mine . Its amazing what you can find out about people from this, have to say think people have been very brave and honest in what they have posted. Wonder as it seems to be popular if it might be possible to have a games section on here, just an idea
 
Ok;
Serious:
1) I'm 5 foot 2 and a half, and firmly believe that the half is very important, would love to be taller though
2) I've been single for longer than I care to admit. I'm generally perfectly happy being single and am quite confident doing things/going places by myself or with my great friends. However a small part of me worries that I may never meet someone, I've been a bridesmaid 3 times now so worry 'the three times a bridesmaid' rhyme may come true...!
3)My father killed himself when I was 10 years old. Not the sort of thing you can say you ever 'get over' but it's part of my background and something other people tend to find more difficult talking about than I do.
4) I'm scared of clowns, rats/mice, cotton wool and fire. The fire comes from discovering (through the window) that the farm behind our house was on fire when I was 7. I've no ideas where the other fears came from.
5) I am tone deaf. It's not just that I'm a bad singer, it's way worse than that!

Other:
1) I am very proud of myself for beating my personal best for a 10k run this morning...I celebrated this evening with pizza and wine!
2) I am an absolute chocoholic, don't think a day goes by when I don't have at least some chocolate.
3) Last year I took part in some advertising and my photo was on the back of buses throughout the region. I also did a few radio ads as part of the campaign.
4) As a child I did a fair amount of professional acting and modelling, including adverts, tv shows and a few films. Some were lead roles, others just walk on.
5) I'm known amongst my friends as the fancy dress queen, if there's any excuse for a fancy dress costume I'll be there, as anyone who's seen my facebook photos will know.
