TTDS !
Love this thread - satisfies my nosy tendencies!

I am 26, married for 2 years and have 2 gorgeous DS's aged 2.5 and 13 months. We live in Southend on the Mull of Kintyre in West Scotland which is a beautiful place but very far from 'anywhere'. I am mostly a SAHM but work 4 hours per week as a youth club activity leader and next month will be starting to run an after school drama club a
couple of days per week. I have only been on MN since November last year but already disgraced myself by posting a picture of poo It had been a bad day!

Tatties · 20/02/2006 10:26

I am 26 and live with my lovely boys, dp 30 and ds 10mths. I am a SAHM, career went out the window when I got pregnant so I like to exercise my brain on MN!

I'm 30 and live in Bedfordshire with DH (been with him 11 years, married for 6.5), DS (27 months) and DD (5 months).

I am an accountant (when not on maternity leave). Not really looking forward to going back to work.

I am also a speed reader and find that there is one advantage to DD enjoying feeding during the night

I'm 19, I have one dd, Morticia. I live in India where I'm currently working on a large scale project to fit false red plastic tusks to elephants to stop them from being killed by poachers. I left my ex to set up with a man named Vince Vaughn who once starred in some film about balls!

I am 29, but not for too much longer! Married to a lovely DH for 6 years, and we have 3 kiddies DD 5, DS 3, and another DS 1, and are hoping for another maybe later this year. I work various amounts depending on who's off sick, or who needs help with a puzzle! And we live way up north, a bit further along the road from Wick.
