I would hate it if my work colleagues knew I collected stamps. :D :D

I don't collect, collect them. I bought a pack of mixed used stamps a few years ago to do an art project and then realised how amazing they were. So I occassionally browse for unusual/nice ones in ebay and the like. I don't know anything about them but my little stamp albums make me happy. :D :D

I'm university educated and have a 'very important job' so I think people think I'm middle class and well educated, not that I've dragged myself up by my finger nails

Kahlua4me · 05/10/2019 16:38

That I’m a member of the Conservative Party.

(I joined in March 2019 - specifically to vote against Johnson as it was obvious the leadership was going to change. But I’d rather keep it quiet - especially as my boss is a long-standing member of the Labour Party with a SIL who is a Labour MP)

Really222 · 05/10/2019 16:53

That I think my boss can be a bully and am marking time until my contract ends in December. The kind of person who fairly regularly tries to blame others for her own lack of organisation, or tell them that she has already given them something (while rolling her eyes) though she has done no such a thing Angry.

Serin · 05/10/2019 16:54

WarshipWarrior · 05/10/2019 17:05

@ClemDanFango are you seeking help with that? It's very damaging to mental health to bottle up debt issues.

That I lived in a caravan for nearly a year when DH was made redundant.
