Hi I have not been posting for too long but I do have picture in my mind of GNetters, for eg I imagine jo7 to be fiesty tall quite slim and a dont mess with me kind of laby, and celebgran a friendly caring, kind of small with short fair fluffy hair, and vampirqueen quite zanny fun and non judgemental.

I may of course be completly and utterly wrong!!

What do you think, and dont forget what Mamma taught you, if you have nothing good to say don't say anything.

hmm not sure a head of Hittites would be a good look, but who knows? If you have highlights on your head, wonder where lowlights might be applied grinblush

jeni Thu 31-Jan-13 21:28:13

Couldn't think what you meant had to look them up. Apparently there are lowlights as well, whatever they are?
You can tell I'm no fashionista!

celebgran Thu 31-Jan-13 21:25:08

Jeni I always use that spelling for highlights, lazy I guess!!

grin

jeni Thu 31-Jan-13 20:24:08

Are those sticky up poles with lights on the top?confused

Ella46 Thu 31-Jan-13 20:20:13

jeni I think celeb meant 'highlights'.

jeni Thu 31-Jan-13 20:14:27

Celeb I'm confused!
What are hilites? Are they a type of hairstyle, a typo for Hittites, a type of hillbilly? Or what?

no prob with meet-ups!
1) leave glasses at home - so all blind as bats!
2) if not blind as bats, well, if you don't let on, I won't either! grin

Well I defently think I am psychic now as just looked at celebs profile and that is exactly how I saw her in my minds eye, she is just taller than I thoight.

Can anyone guess what I may be like and dont forget what I said to remember what Mama taught you about not having anything good to say, although on this occassion I would like you to be honest, I can take it.

Ariadne - I think you'll find that's me!! grin

annodomini Thu 31-Jan-13 15:40:28

That's not what you said on the 'Growing old disgracefully' thread, Ariadne grin

Ariadne Thu 31-Jan-13 15:34:09

Quite like me too, gracesmum - how perceptive you are! Did you know I am also tall and slender with long legs and toned arms? grin

Movedalot Thu 31-Jan-13 15:27:47

gracemum almost right, I just prefer Miss Dior, apart from that you have descibed me to a tee grin Perhaps I won't go the midsmeet after all

celebgran Thu 31-Jan-13 14:39:24

you can have look at my profile Mey think have some pics on there!!

how lovely that |I seem to come across as kind, expect I am really, but I am tall 5¬8" and have a head of hilites, blonde, red and dark brown dark blonde base and not fluffy very thick hair which my lovely hairdresser thins out drastically every 5 weeks!!

bless you Mey I know what you mean picturing up people!

gracesmum Thu 31-Jan-13 14:21:30

This thread should be called
"What are you lot like" with the inflection on the "like"!!

gracesmum Thu 31-Jan-13 14:20:46

It is a truth unversally known that all Gransnetters are drop dead gorgeous, look young for their age, with exquisite dress sense, and waft through life in a cloud of Chanel No 5 - fragrant even , just like Mary Archer.
And anyone that says different will be beaten about their person with my knitting Louboutin heels smile [fragrant smile] eomoticon

Why do they do that though men, you just wear what makes you happy. I think I might be, whats that word oh yes Psychic

Anne58 Wed 30-Jan-13 23:51:42

Don't mind at all! I do like earth tones, although Mr P keeps telling me to look at others that are not brown/beige/taupe/camel/chocolate/sand/ecru/coffee etc! grin

Mey Wed 30-Jan-13 23:48:33

It is funny though how we imagine people to be What one thing did I get right about you,you dont have to say if you dont wish to.

Anne58 Wed 30-Jan-13 23:45:24

Mey you got one thing right about me, and one sort of right, but only sort of!

PS If half of the members are teachers, I think I'd better get ready for either lines or detention!

I am a bad phoenix!

Anne58 Wed 30-Jan-13 23:34:30

Mey you should see some of my typos!

A lot of us have been pestering asking nicely for an edit function, I think there are quite a few of us who would use it, and not always just for correcting typos!

Mey Wed 30-Jan-13 23:34:05

noticed the Laby thing after I submitted, hoped no one would notice but was obviously fooling myself half you lot are blinking Teachers so I dont stand a chance blush
