Madeline

TabithaTiger · 28/11/2021 14:41

Madeline is at a Russel Group university studying English. She was always in the top set at school, she's sporty and popular with boys and girls. She is athletic with blonde hair and is one of those girls who always seems to fit in and succeeds at anything she does. Her parents are incredibly proud of her and can't wait for her to come home from uni for Christmas.

Hannah

TabithaTiger · 28/11/2021 14:43

@GimpyShrimpey

Sarah is steady and reliable, quite good at most things but not outstanding at anything (so does not rock the boat). She has a steady senior management level job, does yoga and sings in a choir. Happily married to Tom with 2.4 children.
I'm a Sarah and this is 80% accurate (not married and can't sing for toffee!)
iwantadogdhdoesnt · 28/11/2021 14:49

@Samanabanana Oh the shame, I'm a Sandra. I've just had the outside of my house painted pale grey and white too, and I'm also class rep. Might have to change my name Grin

AuntieStella · 28/11/2021 14:52

Hannah chose her name when she arrived in Britain from China, because she liked the palindrome. She's industrious to the point of having anxiety about any form of failure, but most of her friends would never know. She's a superb cook and unstintingly generous

New name: Nick

foodiscomplicated · 28/11/2021 16:00

Nick works as a yacht broker. Wears deck shoes and turned up collars. Minor (non selective) private school then Southampton uni because it's near the Solent. Nick is a straightforward chap and doesn't overthink stuff. You'd probably be happy having a swift pint with him but might find a whole evening a bit trying.

New name: Jane

NinaDefoe · 28/11/2021 16:33

Jane is 47 and a librarian. She tells anyone who will listen how busy and stressful her job is.
So much to do and so many people to serve.
Jane works part time but often has time off when things get on top of her.
She is hoping to retire soon if her husband Neil gets a decent payout when he finishes at 65 in 2 years time.

Jerry

AuntieStella · 28/11/2021 17:00

Jerry is about 60 and keeps having mid-life crises. His wife took him back after the first affair, but when she found him on dating sites she booted him out. Life hasn't worked out so well for him. Promotion was elusive and a career change didn't work out. But he lives in hope, even though what he would most like is a Time Turner to go back and put the time he spent cheating and bad mouthing his XW into compliments and time with her

New name: Denise

foodiscomplicated · 29/11/2021 11:54

Loving this thread.

Denise lives in Kensal Rise. With her husband Derek. Their 5 kids have flown but are all happy and doing well in their own ways, mostly still in and around London. So every Sunday they all gather at Denise's for a giant Jamaican Sunday lunch. The kids (and now their partners too) love it, and although it leaves Denise knackered by Sunday evening it's the highlight of her week. So she never complains. Derek though knows it's becoming quite tiring, so brings her tea and crumpets to eat on a tray on for tea. And occasionally if she's lucky he gives her the best foot massage.

New name - Georgia

foodiscomplicated · 29/11/2021 18:53

Georgia is a doe-eyed art history graduate. She's tried and tried to get a job in the art world. Christie's would be spectacular. But even a local gallery would do. Sadly for Georgia her middle class credentials aren't quite good enough and all the jobs get snapped up by young women entering the business via unpaid internships. They can afford not to work due to mum and dad's money. Georgia's parents made their money selling cars and although any rough family edges have been smoothed off Georgia her (sensible in my view) family haven't thought to offer to support her.
So Georgia has found herself selling posh ready meals to bijou delis across the south of England.
She'll be ok. She quite likes her job, and she's good at it. Must be the genes. She may end up selling something much more interesting...

foodiscomplicated · 29/11/2021 18:53

Craig

AuntieStella · 29/11/2021 19:13

Craig is the chisel-jawed, tall dark man in the IT department. E could be anywhere between 30'and 50. Authoritative when it comes to troubleshooting issues at work, and considered a bonhomous good guy by colleagues, he's actually rather shy. Currently single, he despairs of ever meeting a kind, normal woman.

AuntieStella · 29/11/2021 19:14

New name: Xander

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 29/11/2021 19:31

Xander used to be Alex, but decided Xander was more quirky when he went to 'uni' to do media studies. He currently works in a pretentious cocktail bar in Gloucester, wears inadvisably lurid shirts and has a pug called 'Pugsley', which (only) he thinks is hilarious... He is, unsurprisingly, single.
