Hi, I'm Rachel

I'm from Northampton (hello to the Milton Keynes guys back on page one! 😉My mum's family's from Emberton!)
I work as a Technician in the local hospital pharmacy. I'm not married and have no kids and no pets...In my spare time I like reading and drawing and tracing my family tree. I'm also a total sci-fi geek.
I'm 32 years old and was diagnosed with type 2 last September, my Dad's dad and my Mum's mum are also type 2.

MMmmmm Youngs beer - did the Youngs trail once with some friends a got a free Ferkin (now, now!). Yep, miss the trees - grew up near Putney/Wimbledon common and often went to Richmond Park via Roehampton Gate. My school was featured in Love Actually and one of the last Prime Suspects, don't you know.

I bet you remember catching glimpses of the stars from the bill filming in the area too then!

Quite sad when Youngs said they were selling their plot in Wandsworth, where is the ram going to live???

I didn't know that about Love Actually.
 
Wow, what a thread. I'm American, been settled in the UK for 21 years, have two children -- E, who's 13 and type 1, and M, a 9 yr old girl. Teach creative writing in a university, published writer, married to an academic in another creative field (yes, cagey. Privacy utmost in my house, somewhat understandably.)

Love all the different backgrounds and folks. Love Italy too, several summers there. Montepulciano, anyone? Spent six happy pre-child weeks there at the annual music festival. Heaven.

I think The Bill came a long way after I moved away.... T-Rex's singer, Marc Bolan's dad was the caretaker on the bit of the estate where my Nan lived tho'... and thingy (the younger fella from the older Sweeney, now in New Tricks - 'write the theme tume, sing the theme tune' - sorry, having a 'senior moment') went to my school, but before I was there.

Ha ha, the ram would be more than welcome in Norfolk, altho' we have some fine local ales already!

I'm Terry. Call me Tez 🙂 I found out I had Type 2 in March 2009. My father was Type1.

Born in Croydon. I was in care from the age of 12 living in Children's homes, foster parents and boarding schools till I was 17.

I moved to Brighton in 1991 to live with my Ex until 2007. Now I have a wonderful other half who I adore and is very supportive re diabetes. I've worked on the buses since I was 21 and have done the same route for 18 years now.

Hobbies include Amateur Radio (I have a full licence), electronics, music, photography, Linux and old buses (which I love driving). I love doing Karaoke. I have a large football kit collection.

So that's me.

I was told that there's a 1 in 6 chance of passing it on, but it sounds like it's a dead cert in your tribe!
