What do you do and where are you?

in Trying to conceive
I've just got into chatting on here a little bit more and am starting to get to 'know' the regulars and yet I suddenly thought I don't know you at all. So sorry if you have had a topic like this before but I'd love to know a little more about people!

I am (about to be) 27 and I got married last April. Hubbie and I live just outside Newcastle and I am a primary special needs teacher who is desperately searching for a new job - waiting to hear back from 2 primary mainstream school I have applied to so fingers crossed for that.

So anyone else want to give me a bit more info?
Love to get to know you all better

    Hello, I'm a gatecrasher here cos I'm already pregnant so still waiting for somewhere to escort me out of this chat room and into the pregnant bit!!! I'm Claire, I'm 33 and I live in Bedfordshire with my husband Pete who is 39 tomorrow. Hes a self employed decorator and I sit on my fat arse and talk rubbish all day on here. But before that I was a swimming teacher at my parents pool which is about 20 minutes from me - but had to give it up after falling pregnant. I've been married for 8 years this November and we have two furry children already one in the picture is Lola and a skinny one called Hugo.

    Yeah thats the politically correct term personally I would use 'don't give them anything bloody sharp' behaviour.

    Well lisarob said she works with children with challenging behaviour - is that actually what you call it or is she being polite - wasnt sure.

    Yeah you can't use the term naughty anymore, 10 years ago I would of said I work with those naughty buggers but people frown upon this these days. See you can't call a spade a spade anymore.

    I did when I was teaching but it was a private affair and my mums pool so if they didn't like it they knew what they could do. Challenging behaviour my arse.
