I’ll start.

I’m a 30-something middle class white woman drinking Pinot and listening to Dido while her DH is working away.

I’m also wearing a Breton-striped jumper and love naice ham.

What have I become?

Your turn

I'm a student who spends lots on nice coffees and avocados!

I'm not Yorkshire born and bred, but I've lived up here for about 15 years and I don't feel the cold! I'm the classic 'Ooh, I think I might need my anorak today,' when the snow is 2 foot deep.

I'm also very thrifty. I fit better with the Yorkshirewoman stereotype than any stereotypes from my hometown down South.

I'm a mum of small children.

I like to take a photo of a room before and after i've tidied it to give myself a sense of satisfaction.

I'm a widow living like Miss Havisham with my DH's stuff surrounding me. Even his shoes by the front door. It's been 2 years. I don't wear the wedding dress though.

Marking my place

I’m a 47 year old English teacher who loves gardening, spends Friday nights watching Gardeners’ World and lusting over Monty Don.

I have several t-shirts with Shakespeare quotations on, a gazillion pairs of Converse and like to wear Stan Smiths with a midi dress.

I’ve taken up running and yoga in my middle years and am currently studying for a Masters in Creative Writing.

My idea of a Friday evening treat is to swing by M and S on the way home for something nice for dinner and a mooch around the beauty hall.

I’m so boring. I love it.

Stay at home parent of a child with SEN.
I am often seen wearing my khaki parka, carrying a takeaway coffee. Local barristas know what my coffee order is. Calender is full of school and clinic meetings

Mum to two small children.

My favourite snack is pom bears.

I am very blonde and extremely logistically challenged (ie cannot map read).

I argue that the dye has seeped into my brain Grin

supercee · 08/05/2021 19:12

I'm nearly 40 and single and drink faaar too much wine and order too many takeaways. On my own.

I’m Asian.

I eat rice everyday.

TofuDelights · 08/05/2021 19:38

I'm a Capricorn, and I work in IT. Logical, analytical, pedantic and probably seen as very boring by a lot of the people I work with!

I definitely don't agree with 'bring your whole self to work'!! 😁

TabithaTiger · 08/05/2021 19:40

I'm mid 40's, single, my dog sleeps on my bed. I have a draw full of supplements to help improve my skin/hair/sleep/mood. Vegetarian, spend my weekends hiking or doing yoga.

twiggytwoo · 08/05/2021 19:47

I’m a harassed mother with two under 3. I’m trying to remember if I brushed my teeth this morning and dreading the night shift.

Aisforharlot · 08/05/2021 19:52

My life revolves around food. I say oy vey.

Pythonesque · 08/05/2021 20:31

I've often said that maybe one form of astrology has got something right. I'm a taurus born in the year of the ox and definitely stubborn 😁

@CandyLeBonBon

I'm a ginger with a fiery temperament
Haha!! Me too GrinGrin
Slumcat · 08/05/2021 20:40

I’m in the north east. I have a greyhound, my DH wears a flat cap and I certainly would NOT wear a coat on a night out, no matter the weather

79andnotout · 08/05/2021 20:41

I'm Irish and an alcoholic (currently teetotal) and my siblings are all alcoholics too (in various stages of sobriety).

However I don't really like potatoes.

IconUcon · 08/05/2021 20:48

Irish, literally always singing. Can, and do, turn anything into a song. And talk to everyone and anybody all the fecking time. Am a walking cliche.
