Lovers of routine, reliable, grub loving and EXCELLENT (if somewhat predictable) in in bed Grin

Where would the world be without our strict adherence to rules and order?

What about nice eyes? Meant to be our best feature. DH and I are both Taureans and I would say that it's true for both of us.

Couldn't post before, was scoffing polenta Grin. I do like the gym though so I'm a skinny taurean.

Lists Smile, where would I be without my blackberry. Lists of everything, calendar up to date. Both babies part raised by GF.

A place for everying and everything in it's place.

Gardening, cooking, home sweet home.

GandTiceandaslice · 12/11/2011 21:15

Short, fat Taurean checking in.

Tortington · 12/11/2011 21:20

i couldnt be more disorganised - i didn't realise we were meant to be organised,

RecursiveMoon · 12/11/2011 21:23

Custardo - too disorganised to finish sentences Grin.

Callipo · 12/11/2011 21:25

I have the arse of a bull...Biscuit

NickNacks · 12/11/2011 21:29

Oh yes to the eyes thing! And long eyelashes.

My DC's all have 'my' eyes and strangers stop me in the street to tell me how striking they all look!

Stupify64 · 12/11/2011 21:30

OP, you'd've done better to start this one up at 6.30am, since that is when Taureans like to get up.

Have spent day with sister (one of you) as making plans for DM's 70th. I have never seen sooo many lists. Mostly of food. Ordered vis a vis veggie suitable;gluten free; suitable for those who eat fish not meat. Then within each category various colour-codings for Will keep for 2/3/4 days or MUST (by decree of M&S or poss capital punishment; rules are rules) be eaten on day of purchase. Had already told DCs that aunt couldn't be trusted to shop solo for crisps/nibbles as she'd buy nothing but pretzels. Guess what was top of list...pretzels. Told her I have ready salted Kettles at home but 'I don't like those'.

The clocks changed while sis,bil, my 2Ds & I were away together. Think it took us an hour in lift lobby to organise what time we should meet for bfast next day as either option seemed to break with routine.

She's routinely clawing at the door of NT properties as she gets there before they open, but despite this was adamant that we're doing the Big Party Shop at 8am sharp. Negotiated a 10 min delay so I can be sure DC have got on bus to sch but suspect she may turn up early & bodily push boys on so that we can get a head start.

Til I read this thread I had no idea that this is what Taureans're supposed to be like: so accurate it's uncanny, except for the dull bit. We always laugh a lot together; maybe that's because I'm a late Aries & she's early Taurus. Am almost tempted to look at Scorpio thread to see it's elder sis: gum-chewing-fidgeting-gym-obsessed-egoist-wrinkleparanoid but thank heavens sleeps for England!

TheElvesSawBatgirlKissingSanta · 12/11/2011 21:34

Another one here!
Would like to add that I am excellent in bed but definitely not predictable! Wink

DooinMeCleanin · 12/11/2011 21:35

There is a 6:30 in the morning? I did not know this. When did this occur? I have heard of 6:30 after the after party stumbling home half cut, but no 6:30 after a good sleep Grin

I clearly was born on the wrong day. I was 10 days late, that must be why. What comes before Taurus? I must be that one.

SlinkyB · 12/11/2011 21:38

Typical taurean here! Love organising things/people, lists, routine and food. Love my luxuries too, but who doesn't?

TheElvesSawBatgirlKissingSanta · 12/11/2011 21:41

I love organising things and lists but never quite stays that way. Hmm
Maybe I just mess it up so I can get organising again! Grin

DarknessSoothes · 12/11/2011 21:41

Grin Dooin

Yep 6:30am for going to bed, No lists, No structures, No order. And I can't be anything but taurean. few days here or that and I still would be. go figure.

pigletmania · 12/11/2011 21:45

I am a typical Taurian, good looking, loves food and routine Grin. It shows as I am also a bit mmmm overweight, well I am 7 months pg

pigletmania · 12/11/2011 21:46

Well I have nice eyes with long eyelashes (don't really need mascara)

Stupify64 · 12/11/2011 21:53

Do you mean you have the lashes of a cow? Have never looked at a bull's.

Karmann · 12/11/2011 21:54

Dooinmecleanin, I've been told there are also two 8.30s in the day too - not sure I believe that evil rumour. Can't do lists on advanced phone thingy, it's got to be pen and paper, nothing else will do.

DooinMeCleanin · 12/11/2011 21:57

There is 8:35-fuck-we're-going-to-be-late-for-school-am on a weekday. Does the other 8:30 come before that maybe? I have only ever met wine o clock 8:30pm.

Stupify64 · 12/11/2011 21:58

Dooin you'd be an Aries if you were the one before like I am. I think that we're supposed to be arrogant & intolerant, but anyone who believes that is an ignorant little shit.

Tidybush · 12/11/2011 22:04

Another short fat chunky taurean here. Love organising being bossy , love my home and especially love my bed Grin

Stupify64 · 12/11/2011 22:07

And now we will know the True Taureans; for the last ten minutes they've been thinking 'in bed by 10, lights out at 10.30'. Last Taurean standing gets a prize-one of those bottles of wine with a little plastic bull attached?

Stupify64 · 12/11/2011 22:09

You see, Tidy I know what you've been thinking.

DooinMeCleanin · 12/11/2011 22:10

Intolerent moi? Never. And no I did not threaten to chop someone's head off ealier on FB that was a different Dooin Grin

BornToFolk · 12/11/2011 22:12

Ha! Stupify, I've been sitting here thinking "X factor's fiinished, best get to bed". I have a new duvet that I am stupidly excited about. Just polished off half a bag of Minstrels and half a bottle of wine. I was telling someone at work how I like to add little things to my To Do list just so I get the pleasure of ticking them off...

yup, I'm Taurean Grin

ginmakesitallok · 12/11/2011 22:12

I think DP has been lying about his birthdate - he's very slim, gives in to everything and is the most disorganised person I know.
