ok ok I'm going to do this WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE THREAD to remind me of anything.
Ooooooh, it is like an exam, I'm all nervous.
Easy ones first.
Cod is an ex history teacher JP with 3 kids, 2 of them with the same name as mine. Taurus, 36, Canadian husband, appalling typing skills, lovely shiny dark hair.
CD is an IT consultant, lovely daughter with a blonde mop of hair, HUGE dog called Ruby, newly refurbed house in sheen, husband turned 40 this year
Sophable is a lovely liberal who is generally OUTRAGED by everything that the rest of us are completely cynical about. Her DS looks like what I wanted my children to look like - massive dark eyes, mop of hair... sigh
Enid is married to the brother of a mate of mine from school who was a bit of a rebel aged 15 but is now a pillar of Dorset society. 3 dds, one of whom is the proud owner of an enormous pink unicorn and its all my fault . Works for an art charity 2 days a week and used to copywrite for johnnie boden.
Marina is lovely, works in a music library in the barbican, knits and isn't really called Marina much to my disappointment...
MotherInferior has a fabulous way with words, a hilarious wit, two beautiful daughters who don't look in the slightest bit quarter Indian, red hair and was, frankly, a bit of a slapper before she got married
Aloha, we miss you! Sigh.
Malory lives in the country OOOP north, has a lovely shiny new aga and is slim and chic
Flum lives near Marlborough, has just had a lovely second baby and will be going shopping with me just as soon as we look lovely again (did you know that flum?)
Harpsi was a lawyer, is training to be a bf counsellor, tandem feeds her lovely daughters, runs a choir, loves her boden coat, and has hardly spoken to me since she came round to mine for lunch (I must have scared her or given her food poisoning or something). She used to artificially inseminate pigs for a holiday job. Oh, and worked at Buckingham Palace
I've known Issymum for years and think she is the finest person possible. Apart from her obsession with her cats, which may have calmed down slightly since she adopted her petite and beautiful daughters
Milge is another lawyer, married to a dh who wants to be an MP, and may come and live near me soon if she can only find a house... and has 3 year old twins (who are probably almost 4 now). And spotted JudgeFlounce for a fraud about 5 minutes before I did...!
Ernest lives in Switzerland, has 3 children, thought about a 4th for ages, but has decided against. for the moment.
Orangina is my sister. I know lots of things about her!
Soupy lives in Croydon, has maintained a mysterious aura on MN for years, even managing to give birth to her not-so-fictional third child without telling anyone she was pregnant.
Toothy is smart, brave, mouthy, and giving her crappy ex dh hell. Go toothy!
Spacecadet was married to a bloke who couldn't be arsed to look after her when she was practically dying of pneumonia. She is now divorcing him. Go Spacey!
Hunkermunker has a ds about 2 days older than my dd2 but I bet he is sleeping beautifully at night, grrrr
WWW has been much happier since she told tosser mctoss to toss off, and since I've been on MN has moved to Bristol and got married. Never met her, though I'd like to.
Beety has 4 children, is the only person I know with a daughter called Mary (great name), and has discussed shoes with Madonna. She pretends to hate living in the country but loves it really.
Dinosaur is another city lawyer and another JudgeFLounce spotter....
Moondog is a welsh hippy who knits yoghurts in eastern turkey and runs over ponies for fun in her spare time
Sunchowder is a sweetie pie who lives in florida with one daughter and who answered my plea for a marshmallow rice krispie with a recipe that I use to this day
SusieWong used to be "caterer to the stars" and DOES make the finest chocolate brownies in the world, it is true. In australia, sadly.

Joolstoo is hilarious and I'd be happy to have her as MY mother

Uwila works pretty much full time, and employs nannies after extremely rigorous selection procedures!
Expat used to climb mountains and had a relationship with a cardiologist who was also a drug addict. Or something. I think. Anyway now married to a builder in scotland with two little dds.
Sobernow never was an alcoholic, which I assumed for YEARS that she was because of her username!
Anorak was married to some guy who made porno movies in his spare time.
I can't believe I've spent about 40 minutes on that, there are so many more people but I really need a pee
