I trump all you lot. My birth cert states Oldham

I live in a HAMlet!

Tee hee, so do I, well it has become a hamlet since I moved here. Quite a few incomers, which is lovely.

Meant to reply to planets quote about going Irish and not going back, but lost it somewhere. Had a very busy day on phone to bank, someone cloned my credit card and I had to own up to spending £38 in Poundland last week

So you really had spent that much in there, not the fraudster? How did they clone your card I wonder Dear god you must have walked out of Poundland with so many bags

I was disappointed, usually aim at £40. Includes bottles of Vimto, lots of liquorice, Xmas wrapping stuff, stationary for next year etc. Mrtk takes all bags to car while I hit M&S. While grumbling.

Asked bank man, happens all the time. My god, stuff on my card was Airbnb, coach (thought that was a bus company, turns out it's a luxury handbag place) thank goodness bank knows Poundland is more my thing.

that didn't even occur to me but i was born in Hampstead
it was ordained

Thanks tk (and Twass and An) appreciate the feedback. I took (all) your advice and just dropped a diagnoses in inbetween paragraphs of funny

Message for An!

There's a spanish guy posting in GD and it's reminded me of something i kept meaning to ask you and always forget. When you lived in spain did you get to visit the asturias region? It's somewhere i've always longed to visit...the mountains it looks so spectacular. I remember reading before i got ill you could do these hiking holidays through the mountains where your luggage gets driven from hotel to hotel and you get to spend the day walking throught he mountains catching it up! Sounded like heaven.

You and me both tk! So the bank alerted you to this? I'm sure I'd have little idea until the bank statement arrived if my bank didn't


You were born not far from me then! I was Barnet We're Norf Londoners!!


Great stuff planets, you've kept them informed while not over dwelling. I feel sure any pal of yours would want to know the truth of how you are

Norf London eh? Excellent who'd a thunk it?
Awh thanks Twass.
It's thick fog here today and freezing just been to the hairdressers
Haven't been for ...crikey since about march
So i have lovely hairdresser hair now where it looks all sleek and fabulous *swishes hair in slow motion*

Nice BARNET See what I did there? For anyone not familiar with Cockney Rhyming slang, Barnet means hair. Barnet Fair. I've not been to the hairdresser since about the beginning of September. Possibly why I look a bit like the wild woman of Borneo currently

nice work there Twass!
I've been growing my hair after it fell out and i had to have it short, it's now similar length to yours in your wee axey photo
*activates slo mo hair swishing mode*

It does sound like heaven doesn't it? But no I have never visted any of the provinces in Northern Spain. I have a hankering to go to Galicia. The area together with Asturias, Navarre and Cantabria really appeal to me. If I were to live in Spain I think that is where I would choose. Like Britain but with more sun and predictable weather. Excellent cusine too which we never get to hear about.

And I was born in the London Borough of HAMmersmith!

Chiswick to be precise.

Cor, it's growing well! Do you attribute this to your seaweedy kelp pills?

I am so hoping that tk will pop up and tell us she was born in Baconsfield Bucks.

The mountains look spectacular, Covadonga looks like something out of a fairy tale CLICK HERE FOR FAIRYTALE LOVLINESS

She was in earlier! She started it all telling us she was born in OldHAM

Welcome to the wonderful world of pork therapy An!!!


YES!!! the nurse was right it took a good six months of taking them every day then suddenly out of nowhere long shiny hair
*swishes hair*

You should put this on forums where folks have had chemo and lost their hair...I'm sure they'd be very grateful!

OH was that her? I thought that was Twass. I am getting confused now.

I wasn't born anywhere piggy sadly

but you were born in a BARNet

Oh yes! PIglets can be born in barns... sometimes....when there are no stys

That's no good. That would make her a horse or a cow or a Messiah! OMG. The second coming.
