Introduce yourself

l blame Karen m!

I can't do cross stitch. Reason? - the first word in it's name!!! - That is what it'd make me!!!!!! I applaud anyone who can do it.... Well done you!!

It's so lovely to meet everyone. As you know, I am the shy quiet one on here!

*OK, so you can stop laughing now!* Just don't mention Luke or I go slightly barmy - but nothing new there!!

haha well it only makes me cross when l stitch LOADS of wrong stitches-grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

i know that feeling i get so annoyed when i realise ive done something wrong. Because you only seem to realise when you've finished that row then you have to unpick the whole lot out and start again. By then i feel like throwing it out the window!!!

OI YOU!!!! think how full your life is now with backstitching and french knots in it haha!!!! Glad to see the xstitch contingent of the group is growing though!! we know where to come now when the stitching does make us CROSS!!

Time for my intro then, i'm Karen and i'll be 36 (aarrggghhh!) in April so that makes me a very pleasant and easy to live with taurean too!!!! I have M.E (chronic fatigue syndrome) which i've had for many, many years but i have my lovely mum and dad to thank for putting up with me and keeping me sane(!) over that time!!

My baby is my guinea pig Branston is who will be 4 in April (ooh another taurean!) and he just keeps me smiling every day!! Hoping to add to the piggie brood when the weather improves as well!!

My hobbies are mainly xstitch, gardening, supporting southend united fc and photography but i also love to shop, watch films, play computer games, reading, decoupage, stamp collecting,chatting about Matt & Luke, listen to music etc etc etc!

I also have one brother who is a teacher, married to another teacher and they've made me the proud auntie to George (keanu!) and Chloe (lolly/kylie!) who i adore spending time with - and leading astray haha!

I love Prison Break, Heroes,Angel, South Park, Simpsons, 4400, Soccer Am on the tv front, and am obsessed with Wentworth Miller, David Beckham, Johnny Depp, DAvid Boreanaz, Jared Leto just to name a few! On the music front i love 30 seconds to mars, garth brooks, darren hayes, George Michael, Michael Buble, Nik kershaw and loads more

Hi, I'm Christine.

I'm Diana's Mum, Roger and Carrie's and Donna's Aunt!! I'm 57 and wondered when I got old The body is weak but the spirit is still young though. I have a lot of health problems which I won't bore you with.
Suffice to say, I've survived a heart attack and I'm pleased to be here!

I've been married to Diana's dad for 34years. Been together 38!!! And know matter how I look at him with my specs off or with my eyes screwed up he looks nothing like David Essex who I've fancied since the '70's.

I love to read. Am at my happiest with my nose stuck in a book. Don't watch much TV but must admit to getting caught up with Big Brother when it's on.

I love my family very much and am happy when they are.

I will talk to anyone who wants a natter

Mum, thats really made me laugh about screwing your eyes up hahahahaha !!!! xx

HELLO EVERYONE sorry i not post that often, i dont often get a chance, but i do when i can

that made me laugh too Christine!!!!
Well pleased to "meet" everyone

Hello!!!
I'm sietske!
I'm 34 years and I live in Holland with my friend Hans whom I've been together with for 15 years.
We're not married, and we have not such plans either. We also don't have any children.
Well...sometimes I feel like I do have as I have 26 in my class.
I'm a fulltime teacher for the 6/7 year olds and I love my job! 6/7 year olds rule!!!! I work as a teacher now for 11 years.
Besides teaching, I guide trips to Iceland, during my summerbreak, for a Dutch travelcompany. I work there since 2002.
We have two cats, and they are my babies.
My other passions are travelling, photography, meeting up with friends and much more.
I love quite a lote of music, but I love Matt Goss, George Michael, Madonna, Coldplay, Annie lennox/eurithmics, and all kind of 80's 90's music (as it brings back good old memories) the most.
I like to see good movies too!
anyway....if you want to know something more...just ask!!!
xxx sietske

your very brave Siets teaching 26 six year olds LOL!!!
