Hello, I'm 68, retired, married with four children and 9 grandchildren. Starting from October this year, our 5 lovely grand-daughters will all reach their 18th birthdays in a 20 month period! so we have been saving like mad.

I feel a desperate need to know as much as possible,so onward i go!

I'm 21, and I live in Hampshire, England. But I was born in Kent (very proud of Gillingham Football Club DESPITE how rubbish they are doing right now). I have three older sisters, all of whom have left home. Caroline (eldest) is 30, married and living in Fishbourne, West Sussex. Claire is single (on and off, grrr she's so annoying!), aged 27 (soon to be 28) and works as an English teacher in North Carolina, USA. Andrea is married, aged 25 and has an almost one year old, Joseph. She lives in Sandhurst, Berkshire. I went to uni, I graduate on 18th November at Bristol Cathedral. I studied Psychology. I hope to get a masters in social work. I'm working until then though as a receptionist with a bunch of geriatrics that drive me around the bend! That's me! Chloe

Sorry about the marmite controversy. Good for a laugh though. Mary in Sydney

I stand corrected. Marmite is: Yeast extract,salt,vegetable extract,niacin, spices. No mention of meat.

MY MATE MARMITE!!! lol (We are all on Paul's thread - have a read.) We really wanted to fly across to Sydney when we were on holiday in NZ but we couldn't fit it in - perhaps we'll make it when we go again next year. Look forward to that. (even if it means I have to eat Vegemite lol) I would love to be near the bridge for New Year's Eve - my brother managed it a couple of years ago when he was over there for the cricket and said it was absolutely fantastic! Magsxx

Please check out Pauls thread Who are you I don't feel like typing it all out again. I will give it a nudge. I have nudged it it called whats your name are where do you come from.

I am 76 and always have Vegemite on my toast for breakfast. I have a husband and two sons also 2 Grandsons and 2 Granddaughters. We came here from England in 1974 and we all loved it here from the start. Best wishes from Sylvia

We all enjoy are Vegemite, for breakfast lunch and tea etc etc etc. Grew up on Marmite untill we immigrated now vegemite rules. I dont work, kids are grown up, and i love Genealogy. Theresa from Melbourne
