Hi all 
It's been such a busy few months for me what with prepping for our house move, Christmas, family visiting and now our poorly old cat I feel like I've missed out on properly meeting lots of new people here!
So, I thought why not have a topic to quickly all introduce ourselves to one another and find out a little bit more about everyone - and satisfy our curiosities!
It's entirely optional of course and you don't have to give any really personal info, or any info at all. Short answers are fine, long answers are fine too. Let's just have a quick look and see who we've got here amongst our regulars and newbies!
The questions, so you can copy & paste them to give your answers!
Where do you come from?
Where do you live now? (no, I'm not asking a postal address! a country or region is plenty)
How old are you? (an age range will do!)
What do you "do"? (eg - what's your job, are you a homemaker?, volunteer work?, in education or training for something?)
What are your hobbies/interests?
What do you wish you had more time for?
Do you have a partner and/or kids?
Do you have any pets?
What's your favourite colour?
What's your favourite film?
What's your favourite song or band?
What's your desktop wallpaper?
I'll start us all off! Will try not to give an essay for each, lol.
Where do you come from?
Dorset, UK (but half "Scandinvian mongrel" as my dad would refer to his origins)
Where do you live now? (no, I'm not asking a postal address! a country or region is plenty)
Dorset, UK
How old are you? (an age range will do!)
32
What do you "do"? (eg - what's your job, are you a homemaker?, volunteer work?, in education or training for something?)
I'm a web developer working from home and a homemaker (lazy husband).
I didn't train for this job in any way, just raised with computers. I actually always wanted to be an animator for Walt Disney! Studied art and psychology at college with a view to going into advertising/marketing. That didn't happen.
What are your hobbies/interests?
Fishing, fishkeeping (I know the two somehow seem incompatible, we just love fish!). Enjoy learning new web stuff when time allows or the need arises. Love crafty stuff but never seem to have time or motivation/need to make something. Gaming (videogames & boardgames) are my guilty pleasure.
What do you wish you had more time for?
Reading & crafts.
Do you have a partner and/or kids?
Just the husband, no plans for kids.
Do you have any pets?
Lots of fish and our dear old cat (pushing 17 years now and sadly not doing so well of late). I'd have loads of cats but Phoebe isn't good with other animals and her needs come first. As the sad day draws ever nearer even the prospect of a house full of cats doesn't make the thought of the loss any easier.
What's your favourite colour?
I always struggle with this one, but I think it's probably purple.
What's your favourite film?
All time fave is probably Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure! So many films I love though, mostly in the scifi or fantasty genre.
What's your favourite song or band?
I'm totally out of touch with modern music really and seldom listen to music as I find it hard to think. Quite eclectic tastes I suppose. Always loved Madonna, seen her in concert 4 times now!
What's your desktop wallpaper?
A photo my husband took of the sun setting at Chesil cove, a local spot.
So, who's next?!
