Hi Everyone! I was thinking that we don't really know much about each other (well most of us) so thought since I am bored and injured on this chilly Sunday morning I would create a little quiz that we can copy and paste and fill in the answers for ourselves
1. Where were you born?
2. Where do you live at the moment?
3. Where else have you lived?
4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?
5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself
That's all, trying to keep it short and sweet for now. :flowerforyou:
1. Falkirk, Scotland
2. Kent, England
3. Loads of places in England, Wales, Berlin - I was an Army kid!
4. Freelance journalist. Think I'm a bit old for dreams, and quite like this now I'm working for myself! Restaurant critic or travel writer would be good though!
5. Mum of two girls, love reading, two dogs, trying to make exercise a hobby rather than a chore, very disorganised
I answered these before I read all your replies. I'm so going to regret that0 -

5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself
1. I love running. Running my first marathon in April - the MK Marathon
2. After losing 4.5 stone I was inspired to find out more about health and fitness and qualified as a Personal Trainer.
Not sure where that will lead me at the moment but it was a great course and really eye opening.
3. I like to find unusual things to do on New Years Eve, las year we were on the side of Snowdon and this year we were on a beach on the south coast.
4. Also love cycling, especially the trails in Derbyshire. Done Monsal Trail, Tissington Trail and High Peak Trail.
5. I've driven a Ferrari around a race track and it was totally exhilarating! Again, again. LOL!0 -
1. Where were you born?
Manchester
2. Where do you live at the moment?
Just outside Manchester :-)
3. Where else have you lived?
Essex, London, Preston, Cumbria
4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation?
I am a Web Monkey (Developer) I work for my self so this is pretty much what I want to be doing.
5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself
1. I got married on the 29th of Feb (2008) :-)
2. We keep Chickens and Quail.
3. I like Snowboarding but wish I could go more.
4. I have 2 little boys aged 2 and 3.
5. I like socialising . . . struggled for the last one.0 -
1. Where were you born? - Epping, Essex
2. Where do you live at the moment? - Northampton :ohwell:
3. Where else have you lived? - All over the place! In my entire life, the longest I've ever lived anywhere is this house....I've been here since September 2006. I'm getting itchy feet again!
4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation? - Currently I am a freelance editor but after working for myself for most of my life, I now find I want something more stable, so have been applying for jobs. Lots of jobs. Dream occupation? Astronaut - the only thing (apart from Thor or Maria Callas) I ever really wanted to be as a child, and it still holds true now.
5. Tell us any 5 things about yourself:
i. I am half-Venetian, and have always been more Italian than British; have always felt pretty alien in the UK despite having lived here for most of my life.
ii. Chuck Berry has a 20ft high poster of me.
iii. I have hyperosmia (super-acute sense of smell), and really keen hearing. I am being interviewed about this by a professor in Columbia, USA. This week actually!
iv. True to my birthsign, water really is my element. When I was a child, my grandfather used to tell me I was a half-mermaid, and that was why I was always in the water. He told me I would never be able to drown because of it! As an adult (and I use this term in its loosest sense), I still love to be in water, whether it's the sea, the pool, the bath. When I went scuba diving in the Aegean a few years back, I started to believe that my grandfather might have been onto something because despite having the heaviest weights in my belt, and absolutely no air in my buoyancy jacket, I simply could not sink! Eventually my instructor had to pull me down with him! I also fell asleep once while floating on my back in a hotel pool!
v. I take photos of everything! I really don't have any photographic talent (except perhaps for taking pics of flowers) but it doesn't matter. The photographs I take today are my insurance for my old age: when I am all shrivelled and wrinkly, and my memory fails me, I will look at my photographs and know that I had a good life... a wonderful life, and that it was a life well-lived.
vi. I regularly have conversations with Leondardo da Vinci in my head...always have done, since childhood. He's my best friend!
OK, that was six things! :laugh:0 -

2. I live in Bournemouth
3. Only Guernsey & Bournemouth, moved here when I was 4 and I love living by the beach.
4. What is your current occupation? Aerospace, material management / logistics support for flight training for the military. What is your dream occupation? Tough one, ive never really known what i wanted to do but i enjoy my job. I would love to be a dance teacher.
5. a) I love dancing. Used to compete in ballroom & latin (currently not dancing but i miss it and hope to start again this year)
b) I like running in the forest but since it's got dark early i don't run because im scared to run in the dark alone - sad but true. I still run at weekends when i can - in the daylight! Come March i'll have my running shoes back on!
c) I love music and going to concerts
d) I love going to the beach and sitting on the sand with a bag of chips.
