Janice-similar thoughts on Chantelles and Fat Martha's I see!!

Must be something in it then.

Fruitbatlings · 12/10/2009 21:11

Hmmm, not sure about the Molly comments here!
It's my name

My hair's fairly long and yes I suppose I did used to hang around with the strange kids But I am a grown-up with the name Molly so yes it is good for a woman.

Not a primary school teacher but I do work with kids

I have curly hair

I'm not a maid

It was an original name back in 1979 when everyone's granny had it - I was the only child with it and hated it at the time

So, you were all almost correct

Martha- friendly, if a little chubby, has a great smile and is a good cook

Fruitbat - do you walk with a bounce though? And do you suffer from unrequited love?

Fruitbatlings · 12/10/2009 21:30

No to both, I don't think I walk with a bounce anyway - I walk very very fast (or so people tell me) Definitely no unrequited love although I had a few crushes when I was a teenager but who didn't?

What is with all these "sweet but not for a grown woman" statements. When I was a child, everyone I knew with the same name as me was an old lady!
