Cheeky, I have also fallen pregnant on the Pill. I was 18, I continued taking it unaware of the preganancy, discovered it at 11 weeks and miscarried at 12 weeks. Sad

Second lot:

  1. I have been in Eastenders, Grange Hill, Goodnight Sweetheart, and many more (as an extra)
  1. I have a double-barrelled surname (I don't use it, it sounds too pretentious).
  1. I dye my blonde hair brown.

1)I tried to commit suicide when I was 15 after my mums boyfriend smashed my head into a brick wall while my mum just stood and watched,I spent about 4days constantly throwing up and my mum just accused me of being drunk.2)I've been arrested twice.3)I've had an abortion and a miscarriage both were extremely tramatic and painful and something I've never got over.

Love to InnocentRedhead for your number 3

So many people say they can't think of anything or that their life is boring ...

Yet to me you're all fascinating and wonderful!

  1. I speak fluent French but with a German accent even though English is my mother tongue.
  2. I was taught Sanskrit at school.
  3. My Dad first skied aged 60, his instructor was a former Olympic gold medallist.
EduStuckintheSnow · 05/01/2011 21:38

Ooh, another 3 then:

  1. Since July, I have appeared on national news at least 3 times (but on more than one channel each time) for different reasons and was ALMOST on Emergency Bikers.
  1. I once slept with someone 10 minutes after meeting them (very drunkenly in the middle of a campsite) Blush
  1. I found a cabbage that was planted by the Chuckle Brothers during an episode.

Ducknipples who is your MIL? Is she a dragon? Wink

KenDoddsDadsDog · 05/01/2011 21:39

hogshead
wow we are long lost twins! My guide trip was in Mexico but apart from that your facts are the same as mine!

EduStuckintheSnow · 05/01/2011 21:40

Number 1 was also meant to say I have appeared on local news twice, been in the local paper and have appeared in the Economist and the Guardian.

ducknipples · 05/01/2011 21:41

Titsalina I don't think she would mind me saying she is a bit of an animal Wink

jugglingjo · 05/01/2011 21:42

lovinme - so sorry to hear about your number 1.

I guess some women can be dreadfully influenced by their men. But of course it's never any excuse. I'd always put my DC's first.

taffetacat · 05/01/2011 21:43

Sad so sorry InnocentRedhead

HotSprocket · 05/01/2011 21:43

1} I am related to a famous corrupt ex-politician/author

2} I got pregnant 2 weeks after meeting dd's father

  1. I have very low self esteem and put everyone before myself. Which means i am quite unhappy really.
hogshead · 05/01/2011 21:44

Do you always have loads of change in your purse too KenWood? :) how was Mexico? SA was amazing

FellatioNelson · 05/01/2011 21:45

Jonathan Aitken (and his tedious wannabe famous daughter.)

hogshead · 05/01/2011 21:46

Kenwood? Should be KenDodd silly predictive text

FellatioNelson · 05/01/2011 21:47

Oh HS. Just read the rest. Sad I bet you are worth five of most people. Your type usually are.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 05/01/2011 21:48

I have the best change jar ever - whoever invented that coinstar machine saw me coming!!

FellatioNelson · 05/01/2011 21:48

Sorry - 'your type' sounded patronising. It wasn't meant that way.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 05/01/2011 21:49

Mexico was great - we got a week in Our Cabaña and a fortnight with a Mexican family.

CaveMum · 05/01/2011 21:50

Well, if we're doing more:

  1. My brother and I appeared on kid's Saturday morning TV show "Ghost Train" in the early 90s. when the show finished a few years later they did a Top 10 of moments from the show and my brother and I were No2!

  2. DH and I met Jimmy Carr after one of his gigs last year and JC told DH he was "punching above his weight" to be married to me Blush

  3. My dance teacher used to be a national champion and gave Anton du Beke his first professional job as a dancer.

Hugs to InnocentRedHead and lovinme
