This is obviously lighthearted!

Do posters picture other posters?

I see gonegirl as very slim, energetic, blond, busy, athletic and a good cook!grin

I see Maryeliza as a size 12/14 a reader and with a very wide social circle who does voluntary work.

I see urmstrongrsn as quite tall and slim, likes a night out, loud and cheeky but very soft heated.

grin feel free to add posters wink

I’m 5ft 2ish but say 5ft 3ins. Have been size 18/20 but am now size 12/14.

My blonde hair is really grey ?

Size 6 feet and two bunions.

I’m known to wear a lot of purple and always a necklace or pendant. I have stacks of them predominantly bought from charity shops.

I suppose most know what my head/face look like from my "Brave the Shave" for MacMillan last year!

" engaged 3 times" GG? how long did it take each of them to...?

Oh, never mind.

GabriellaG54 Thu 23-May-19 18:55:46

I'm certainly not pretty but I must be attractive to some degreehmm as I had a huge number of b/fs before I married and was engaged 3 times.
I appealed to both sexes as, in my 40s and 50s I was propositioned by 3 different women. One, a woman who had inherited a farm called The Limes, somewhere around Wolverhampton, another who was the Parisian guest of an English Duke and his wife (we met at dinner) and the last was a young Asian actress for whom I was clarifying some legal issues.
Unfortunately for them, I have no interest in women...other than as friends and even then, I have many more male friends than female ones.
Women can be so catty and gossipy which I find unappealing.

Im very unremarkable. Averagey and frumpy. Kinda by design, I like to fly under the radar..

crazyH Thu 23-May-19 17:43:50

I can't see your face, but I can see you are tall and I wish I were as tall as you ....

Oldandverygrey Thu 23-May-19 17:38:29

My daughter says I resemble Margaret Thatcher in her later years!

Jane10 Thu 23-May-19 17:32:24

Well here I really am. Doing a reading at the People's Friend 150th celebration event recently. I like this pic as you can't see my (fat) face!

BlueBelle Thu 23-May-19 13:36:23

Haha sharon not quite right you’re right on the smart but casual clothes mostly But long chestnut hair couldn’t be farthest from the truth I have short choppy silver blonde. I used to be 5’7 now 5’5, longish slim legs, size 14 so not too fattish and you’re sort of right on light make up but it goes on straight out the shower whether I m going out or staying in Like my earrings especially ethnic type Never use any beauty things like creams, never needed to pluck eyebrows or shave legs ( the blond bit) so I m ready for the day in about 10 mins Fairly low maintenance
Thank you Nannylovesshoing x

and very delicious they are too!

Mamissimo Wed 22-May-19 22:59:28

Callistemon - I agree - she’s renowned for her stew and dumplings ?

Callistemon Wed 22-May-19 22:46:50

Maw I imagined to be a jolly, kind hearted, buxom,stew and dumplings kind of lady.
two out of four! ]grin]

GabriellaG54 Wed 22-May-19 21:54:07

It's weird how you get a mental picture of someone.
I could tell you a really funny story of mistaken identity ( *not me*) but it would take far too long.
I'm pleased to be thought somewhat like M0nica (not for the first time) but alas, I'm not.
Me, 5-7 and, until the last few weeks (running) have been 18 top and 16 bottoms but now 16 and 14. I don't want to be thin or 10/12. Med/athletic build.
Size 6.5 shoes, very fair skin, blue eyes, dimples when I smile, long legs, never wear make-up but always use Palmolive soap, rosewater refresher and Keihls moisturiser with spf30. Very very occasionally mascara. Nails slightly squared and unpolished, just buffed. No tatts or scars and just one piercing in each ear.
Only wear earrings, never scarves or other jewellery. Hair is layered into wedge at back, longer on top + sides sometimes tucked behind ears and conker brown with copper flashes (courtesy of hairdresser).
Jeans, chinos, jumpsuits, leggings and shaped tops. All kinds of plain skirts but def not maxi or tents. Pencil or midi with slight flare are good. A shoe and bag-aholic, wedges, heels, ankle boots and trainers but they must be on trend.
You got the suits bit right as I am a retired lawyer and dressed the part for work but not any more. Shop in Marks, Primark H&M Poetry Mango Zara and very occasionally more upmarket brands.
I'm a 74 yr old non-smoking, teetotal, vegetarian, divorced mum who loves Skandi style living, clean and uncluttered.

How much do I owe you? ???

Mamissimo Wed 22-May-19 21:00:33

I’m smiling at Maw being a buxom stew and dumplings lady ?

Nannylovesshopping Wed 22-May-19 20:22:12

I can assure you BlueBelle is gorgeous and lovely ?

sharon103 Wed 22-May-19 20:15:23

Theoddbird that's just how I imagined you to be!
Maw I imagined to be a jolly, kind hearted buxom,stew and dumplings kind of lady.
Annie to be a petite lady with long hair pinned up at the back and wears dark coloured clothes. Perhaps wears some lipstick. slightly tanned complextion Often in black.
Monica and GabriellaG54 to be very much alike. Both tall slim ladies and very upright. Hair nicely done, and make-up. They both wear quite expensive clothing and look good in a suit.( and that's just for doing the housework in lol )
Bluebell, I'm not too sure but would guess smart/casual clothes, longish wavy brown hair and light make-up only for going out in. Around 5ft 6ins tall( I'm trying to think of another word for slightly fat but can't think of one so i'll leave it like that) grin
Jane 10, a small petite lady with a quiet voice, dark hair, early 50's angelic face.
Me, I'm 5ft 4ins. 65 at the end of the year eeek! Have too bigger stomach ( middle aged spread, it's got nothing to do with my love of cakes, chocolate and Magnum lollies) size 18 tops and 16 jeans. Olive skin tone, green/blue/brown mixture eyes. Shortish mid brown hair (well that's what it says on the box)layered and styled with a fringe. I've been told a few times that I have come to bed eyes. I'm never ever without make-up. Brown eyeliner, brown pencil on the lower and brown mascara. Near neutral lipstick. A dimple in my cheek when I smile. I'm always in jeans and top. I wear gold medium sized hoop earrings with a gold stud behind them.

My username is self descriptive, think jelly on a plate grin

sluttygran Wed 22-May-19 17:38:21

I have scales on my skin and a forked tail. I noticed that I’ve grown small horns on my head, and this morning my pitchfork arrived via Amazon
Just an average gran, really! grin

Glammy57 Wed 22-May-19 17:19:21

I am 5’ 6”, size 12. Have shoulder-length, blonde hair. Always take pride in my appearance: nails painted, makeup applied every day; however, I like my hair to be fairly messy/tousled! ?

Juliet27 Wed 22-May-19 17:02:08

Sorry if I spelt names wrong!!

Juliet27 Wed 22-May-19 16:58:40

I liked the spelling error in Mycat's description of Urmstongran. 'loud and cheeky but very soft heated'. I take it that means warm. smile

Merryweather Wed 22-May-19 15:00:29

Yes, I do this often. People I talk to in the phone whom I’ve not met eg call centre.

I'm short 160 cm, size 10/12, ginger curly hair, freckles everywhere and pretty much always a book in hand. On crutches/ wheelchair permanently, 39. Two lovely daughters to try and keep up with.

Callistemon Wed 22-May-19 14:34:54

My hair resembles my username; however, it is not bright pink! Could do with losing a stone or two blush
