That thread we had a year or so ago 'tell me something about you and I'll tell you what you look like' Can we have another one?

I am working (marking) but I am bored and would like something to do in between!

Okay so yes, that's a bit about me above. I live in a bungalow. I'm mid-forties.

If you don't want to say what someone might look like you can say something else you've guessed about them instead.

Thick-ish, very slightly wavy and yes, had it loose today.Probably will for work, too. I tend to only wear it up for practical purposes!

Edited

As you should! If I had thick wavy hair, I'd wear it loose too.

I am 45 and live in a 2 bed semi in South East. We had a family over for lunch after church and I am trying to motivate myself to make lunches for tomorrow.

I'm 71 and DH is 79 and exactly a year ago we effectively upsized, in the sense of moving from a house with almost no garden to a house with the biggest garden I've ever had, partly because I've always wanted to get much more into gardening. The house isn't really bigger but in effect it is because the last house was a barn conversion with lots of unusable space and stupidly designed rooms whereas this one is much more straightforward. We also moved from a village to a city. And we're both flipping delighted that we did this! Definitely the right move despite there being problems along the way! 😂

You are enviably slim with tailored trousers and a bretton stripe top. You have a grey bob and big girly eyes.

I am a 45 year old woman who works from home in an IT role, I have a husband, who I married 20 years ago, and a 10 year old son. I live in a Victorian semi with multiple reception rooms and multiple bedrooms, which costs less than a 2 bed flat in London. My favourite bands are Belle and Sebastian, the national, manic street preachers and arcade fire

Blonde hair, shoulder length, you like Dr Marten sandals but love a converse hi top. Favour black clothes, but partial to a band T.

I am wearing a man's shein tracksuit (They're fab, I put them on over my gym outfit and then take them off as I warm up). I will defend myself in that my carbon footprint is otherwise very low (no animal products ever, I don't like going abroad so don't fly, and most of my clothes are second-hand!

And yes you were very much on the right track. Bungalow is just because I loved the area, it was a bargain, close to family and I like lots of other features it has, not because I can't be arsed going up some stairs 😆

Thank you! Wish there were more bungalows in my area. I'd really like one. Unfortunately mainly due to laziness on my part!

Ha ha ha! Not even close. But thank you. I'll adopt her as my alter-ego, she sounds interesting and strangely more disciplined than I am.
I've never had a Breton striped top and I don't like trousers, although I do wear them but never tailored ones, more linen widelegs.
Long grey hair scraped up into a messy up-do.
I'm loving the enviably slim bit (especially after developing an addiction to expensive ice-cream over the summer we've just had, like a two tubs a week of Haagen Dazs type addiction...😂)

I was very academic at school but wound up with a very practical, non-academic career which I love. I'm sitting in a room full of book shelves all the way up to the ceiling. I'm tucked under an electric blanket with my cat, trying to summon the motivation to go to the gym in this very windy, cold weather.

You have chin length, choppy Auburn hair, like long flowy skirts and a fleecy cardigan. You're short and wear odd socks daily.

I spend weekends either raving until 3/4/5am or hiking for hours (sometimes both). I am a bleeding hearted liberal with 2 cats and a mad dog. I waste hours of time doodling and for the first time this year bought a Christmas decoration before November, and don't regret it.

SpangleTwangle · 25/10/2026 20:19

Haha @FrootyCider you're quite uncannily right on my height, my odd socks and my skirts, but I wouldn't wear fleece as the feeling gives me the eebie-jeebies.. That is the only wrong bit though, I like cardigans- I just prefer natural fibres. Currently wearing a giant wool crotchet one. I even have (dyed) auburn hair but it is "very long for a woman my age" (according to my mother, who would never wear an unpaired sock, a dangly earring, or a crotchet cardigan)

You sound right up my street. I picture you with thick, enviable dark wavy hair, high cheek bones and a sharp, sarcastic wit. You like a bit of leopard print and the stylish end of adidas. Big chunky sunglasses on a sunday morning. Gold earrings.

You're fresh faced and a bit 'girl next door' in your looks. You like smart classy clothes and have a quite regimented sense of style. You have a lot of things you pride yourself on and sometimes don't know which one should hold the most importance. You like your bra and knicks to match but don't let it ruin your day if they don't.

I like to talk and ask questions. I'm very smiley. I am rarely grumpy. I love music. I love to write. I go on holiday as much as possible. I go to bed early.

Slim but curvy, blonde or light brown hair, I picture you as mixed race not sure why, perhaps some exotic ancestry if not! Bit of a quirky style sense.

Partially correct! I am slim but curvy, blonde and have porcelain skin. Nothing exotic!
