I've just had to describe myself....

[pragmatist]

...to a future work colleague who I will meet first time at a Seminar next week (hence the physical description so that we can spot each other).

My description was:

chubby, 5ft 9 inches with mousy brown hair .

Quite depressing really!

That is a classic mum style description - I'm sure there is so much more to you than this - we lose so much confidence being mums I think. I bet you have a fabulous smile or great teeth or amazing eyes or glossy hair or piano players fingers or something!

Don't put yourself down - mad woman!

Thanks! you've cheered me up.

Just thought of something - good skin!

there you go. bet it's glowing and I bet loads of people are really envious of your lovely skin. Is it too late to amend your description??

Yes probably. Still I feel better now!

oh yes! call him back and say 'actually, ive got fabulous glowing skin, you cant miss me'

you will feel a million dollars when you do!

lol at the thoughts of ringing him back with this news
