Age: 33 (for two more days) although I said I am never going to reveal my age past 32.

DP Age: 44

Location: Inner bayside, Melbourne

TTC since: Probably for about five mins. A case of, "Go on, I dare you...!" wink.gif We got a BFP after first try with each of my other kids, so it was very likely it was going to be successful again this time!

Been with partner: 15 years.

Married: Yes, 11 years.

How did we meet: DH was a friend of my sister.

Children: DS1, 10 and DS2, 6.

Industry I work in: Audio transcription. I have my own business working from home. I LOVE it.

Interests/General Info: I've been running my own business for about three years now and determined to make it work (so far so good!). All of my spare time seems to be put into the business, and I find the work I do so interesting (most of the time) so I consider it a bit of a hobby as well. I'm addicted to online shopping and I am a puppy carer for a guide dog organisation, so that little tike takes up a lot of my time too. I also love reality TV (like Hollag!!). I love Bali and we travel there a few times a year. I'm heading off there again in nine days original.gif It's like my little break from work, and the positive atmosphere and friendly people over there seem to just re-charge my whole life!

Picture of Me: I don't know if this will work...



ETA: I see it worked. Not the best pic of DH (or me for that matter). He'd kill me if he saw it up there!
