Christine, I'm only kidding. I work better myself in a tidy place, helps create a sense of order. Stella, I would love to have another Sheltie again, they are super dogs, but my OH says he would be embarrassed taking that for a walk. I think he would prefer something the size of a horse.

Hello Teresa and everyone. I've been a member for nearly 2 months and like the fun things on these boards. Your idea to introduce yourself is really nice as old hands on here seem to know each other really well. I'm in Felixstowe - originally from Romford & Stratford. I am living with my partner and we have a son of our own and each have a grown up son. My goal in life is to find contentment of being - I don't know if it really exists - but the promise of it keeps me going. Regards and good wishes Trudi

Teresa - just noticed you're a West Ham supporter - shame on you! Hubby is at the Norwich match today (ardent Norwich City supporter)!! Stella

Hi Trudi, My family on my fathers side all come from Stratford and West Ham. Contentment of being eh? I think that can be found in the simplest of things, a walk in the woods, candle light, growing a flower from seed, a bird visiting you table. This would make a good subject for another thread. T x PS Stella, see above as to why I am a West Ham supporter. Norwich fans here don't mind that, they dont' care as long as I don't mention Ipswich lol

Teresa - you're forgiven!! Ipswich is a swear-word in our house. Stella

Hi Teresa and welcome to posting on GT, hope you have fun and make loads of mates on here XX

Thanks Lemon

ooooeeerr am I going to need a suit of armour to continue this thread??? Joking..... T x

Hello Teresa! I'm Bec or Rebecca when I'm at work (Recruitment Consultant). I was born in Athens, lived in Chicago but have been living in Essex for over 15 years now (2 on my own). I enjoy meeting up with the crazy people on here, clubbing and pubbing, reading and music. I am a MASSIVE MUFC fan (Yay!) I'm currently single but watch this space ________!!! lol Becx Forgot to add that I'm 23! Too young to be one of Daniel's many women... :0(

Thank you and Hi Bec Joan Jean and Daniel. T x

hi everyone I'm Debbie, I live in Glasgow with my partner of 8 years and our 2 children ages 5 and 2. I started my family tree just over a year ago and am pretty much addicted now!

Welcome Debbie, hope you have fun on these boards. Also if you have any questions or need any help with brickwalls, post on the tips board with as much info as you have, there is plenty of help there. Don't be afraid to ask. They are a lovely bunch on here. T x

Hello Teresa, We always welcome new people here, so long as they're nice and friendly :o) I might look new myself but I'm not at all, just reregistered and noone knows who I am lol

Oh someone being sneaky! lol

not sneaky ! Just not using my real name at the moment...

Gene, I've been a free member for more than a year now, but been so bogged down with family problems I haven't had too much time to do the research. However I do now, and the help I have had from the tips board alone is worth the subscription fee. I only paid it a couple of months ago. T x

yep, its worth every penny, and those that do research for others are absolute stars

Deborah, do you have any Robertsons who moved to Liverpool in the early 1800's? I have a brick wall there. My GGGrandmother was a Robertson, born in Liverpool, servant in London and married my GGGrandfather in West Ham. Beyond her birthplace and year I am lost, as there were about 20 of them born there at that time arrrggghh.
