I never said "in patient"! Not even an "out patient*!

cheelu Tue 15-Jan-13 17:36:50

Many of us have said in patient, which helps me to feel normal because I can safely say it really is the worse thing about me..I think probably in tolerant woul dbe a better word to use but I am all a puff and will forget in a second..

Smoluski Tue 15-Jan-13 17:30:42

You could take me anywhere jo I just wouldn't get asked back again,my bawdiness has to be suppressed as it and my mouth have a life of their own,am very irreverent.xxxxxx

Control freak which impinges on lots of other aspects of my life making me sometimes impatient, grumpy, interfering. I also know best which I manage to hide -occasionally.

Despite being a control freak, I am adaptable, willing to help and fairly intuitive and empathetic.

I'm a mess, really!

Ariadne Tue 15-Jan-13 17:29:06

Just keep trying, jings! A few wine helps enormously!

j07 Tue 15-Jan-13 17:25:40

I would love to be bawdy.

j07 Tue 15-Jan-13 17:24:34

I quite like all your bad things somulski. I would like to be some of those things. I am lazy. And getting lazier.

Ariadne Tue 15-Jan-13 17:24:26

Talk too much
Definitely bossy, given the opportunity
Talk too much
Like my wine
Over enthusiastic about my passions (i.e. talk too much)

Orderly (could be in either list!)
Kind
Cuddly (for small people)
Early riser (great for young parents)

I take pleasure in little things, sun shining, chatty phonecall with a daughter, hug from a Grandchild.
Can be depended upon when there is a problem, crisis might be too strong a word but have helped with chopped fingers, broken bones and emotional wrecks.
Strong sense of duty and moral compass, but I know that that can make me seem a bit worthy.

I am a dreadful worrier and a bit over sensitive - like a tortoise if someone is unpleasant to me...I'm back in my shell!

I can be quite motivated about some things but othertimes I could Laze for England.

Will appreciate other points of view

Need to have a tidy home and up to date decor (drive's mr.g.mad)
Can't bear moaning for no good reason.
