this is a bit silly really but I had a good friend at uni whom I have lost touch with and just wondering if any of you know her or are her!

She is called Deborah (Debbie) Wileman, she is Scottish (originally from Brechin), went to Aberdeen Uni, did Psychology, she is very petite (about 5'2), has dark brown hair and eyes. She had a Norwegian boyfriend called Hrain (sp?) but probably not with him anymore.

It's a longshot but worth a try!

I want to but what do I say? What if it's not her- she'll think I'm some weirdo!

nothing ventured.....

pesme · 06/02/2007 14:51

if its not her you apologoise and hang up. how many debbie wilemans are hanging out in scotland working in the same field do you think?

itsmeNDP · 06/02/2007 14:52

I would just say that you are looking for an old friend and her description matched up. If it is her then you'll have struck gold, if not then you can apologise and continue the search.

Oooh, good thread

Anyone know Vanya Dos Santos, originally from Croydon? She'd be about 33 now, studied French and Business at Aston Uni in the early 90s.

I'd love to know where she is now - we had such a larf in the old days...

Snaf, well if we do find your friend it will definitely be her- no one else will have that name!

keep us posted soph28

Miaou · 06/02/2007 15:49

soph, just ring the general department number and ask for her email address. Then write an email explaining who you are and asking if she is the "right" person. Saves any babbling over the phone

MerlinsBeard · 06/02/2007 15:57

you could search myspace and facebook as well as google and friends reunited

MerlinsBeard · 06/02/2007 16:00
