New name: Felicity

knackeredcat · 23/11/2021 09:41

Felicity is 18, from a "naice" family, went to an expensive independent girls school, days filled with ballet and music lessons, riding her pony, culturally enriching holidays, etc. Conventionally pretty and poised, just like her mother. Ah yes, her mother - an elegant socialite with a poisonous tongue in private. It is never an easy relationship especially with Daddy away so often. University will be her escape route but her mental health is fragile.

Darren

SunShinesBrightly · 23/11/2021 10:46

Darren (Daz) left school with no formal qualifications, hated school and hated his teachers. He got through a string of girlfriends before settling down with Lianne who he met at school but didn’t meet up with again until he was 25.
Daz and Lianne own their own business ‘Supreme Clean’ They do everything from jet-washing drives, weekly cleans to deep cleans and house clearances.
They work 24/7 and rake it in. They have expanded their business and now employ 25 part-time cleaners and maintenance staff.
They spend a lot of their time nowadays coordinating jobs and doing paperwork but are hoping to out-source that side of the business soon.

Nicole is dark blonde, wears her hair in a pony tail and is studying nursing at university. She is popular, enjoys nights out with friends, but doesn't drink to excess. She drives a small car in a bright colour. She's a good daughter, granddaughter, niece etc, but family are only part of her life - she has a good work/ family / friends balance.

Louisa is married to James - an investment banker. They live in an old vicarage, a listed building and have two children Lottie and William.
Louisa doesn’t work and lives nothing more than her home, garden and family. She lives a charmed life.

Tracey

NinetyNineRedBalloonsGoBy · 23/11/2021 22:10

Tracey is 51 and a Teaching Assistant at a SEN school. She is very outspoken, some say very irritating, but she's a great advocate for the kids in her class. She dyes her hair black at home and wears a lot of skinny black jeans which she looks great in as she's naturally skinny.

Rachel

DedalusBloom · 23/11/2021 23:34

Rachel is 49 and head of HR for a five star hotel in London. She spends a lot of her spare time socialising in swanky restaurants and bars. She has a huge appetite for champagne.

She owns a nice little terraced house in Peckham which she bought outright when she was 22 with the windfall inheritance her grandmother left her. She likes Peckham but it's really getting too young for her now with all the students floating around in their second hand cardigans.

Rachel is single, but is currently having a steamy affair with one of the sous chefs at the hotel. They meet for trysts in empty rooms in their lunch hours. It's going nowhere but it makes Rachel feel young again when he fumbles her out of her Reiss suit and pants unmentionable things into her hair.

SunShinesBrightly · 24/11/2021 10:06

SunShinesBrightly · 24/11/2021 10:09

Toby is 46. His name suited him when he was 7 but now that he works in banking doesn’t sit so well.

Sheila

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/11/2021 10:45

Sheila is 70. However she looks and acts much younger (I mean in a fun loving way rather than immature). Life and soul of the party. Very glamorous in a put together way though not mutton dressed as lamb.
The type who would give her last penny but she’s also no walk over. Has a Heart of gold but try and rip it out God help you.

Her husband is called Ed. She’s been married since she was 18. She worked part time for her own sanity rather than needing the money as Ed is quite comfortable.
She’s now retired and works one day a week at a charity shop.
She has 2 sons and 1 daughter. They are all very close in age (her sons are over 6ft tall). Very close to mum and extremely protective. They won’t let the wind blow on her.

Her daughter is petite and more of a daddy’s girl.

However enjoys shopping trips with mum.
Her kids are called Alan David (Dave) and Pamela (Pam).
She was strict but fair and very loving mum.
She is stricter with Pam than she is with her boys.
However she’s an extremely easy going nan and often defends her grand kids if her kids tell them off.
Her grand kids have her wrapped around their little fingers. She’s a very hands on nan and it’s very rare to see her without at least one set of Grand kids.
She has 7 grandkids
2 from Alan girl and a boy.
3 grandkids from Dave (Boy girl Boy)
2 grandkids from Pam (2 boys)

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/11/2021 10:46

BubbleCoffee · 24/11/2021 11:02

Next name - Angus

SunShinesBrightly · 24/11/2021 11:10

Angus is 50. He is very handsome but doesn’t really know it. He is 6’7 and absolutely adores his wife Kate who he married when he was 23.
Women think he’s amazing and flutter their eyelashes at him a lot but his head is never turned. He is friendly to them but everyone knows they don’t stand a chance - he is unwaveringly loyal to his family.

Lucy

AuntieStella · 24/11/2021 14:04

Lucy is in her late thirties and impeccably well groomed with dark glossy hair and a dark gloss handbag. She never has a chip in her nail varnish or a smudge on her clothes. She works as a senior office manager in a large consultancy firm, and is engaged to one of the new partners, who is also immaculately turned out. Everyone likes them, but sometimes secretly wonder if they spend all their spare time hoovering each other
