What do you know about me? - top 50
meme gakked from maygra
and a few others added extra dimensions
1. First Name: Sharon
2. Age: 49
3. Location: Cambridge in England
4. Occupation: Ward Clerk/medical administrator
5. Partner: My wonderful husband of nearly 30 years (on 19th August) who is 12 years my senior. He is one of the nicest men I know. He is highly tolerant of my ‘foibles’ and a very passionate campaigner for equality and fairness. One of the reasons I fell so hard for him.
6. Kids: One daughter - aged 29, who is a journalist and is the partner of a music promoter. She is adorable and makes me proud to be her Mum everyday.
7. Brothers/Sisters: One sister, five years younger than me who I don’t see nearly often enough since she lives so far away - but we are trying to do better at getting together.
8. Pets: none now, had cats, hamsters, budgies, fish, and a share in a rabbit - but I am currently not owned by a pet.
9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
Waiting for the ward I was appointed to to open officially (am told this will happen on 7th July)
Will celebrate two milestones soon, 30 years of marriage and 50 years of living.
Hoping to compile an anthology of short stories for pubilcation, and touting a script around the BBC.
10. Where and for what did you go to school?
School was so long ago - but I am sure most of you mean college or University here.
anyhow
Education for me happened at these locations - Lyndhurst Road Primary, Paulsgrove West Infants, Copnor Road Infants, Copnor Road Juniors, North End Secondary Modern for Girls, Highbury Technical College, Cambridge Regional College and The Open University
11. Career Step -
was a nurse, then a teacher, then a chef, am now back working in health care, but in admin since my health and fitness rule out the caring roles now. Am loving being back in the Health Service, probably should never have left.
12. Parents: Mum and Dad both since passed away, but left school at 14 as kids did in those days, both ended up in the Navy which was where they met. Sadly they parted company after 22 years of marriage - much f their time was spent apart due to Dad’s time at sea - once they were posted abroad together but once my sister was born Dad got more sea based postings and fewer naval base ones Mum stayed at home with us kids whilst he went to sea, often for as long at 18 or 20 months at a time!! This clearly didn’t help to promote a stable married life. Dad found it hard to readjust to a family unit that had its own cohesion without him whenever he came home. His choice of profession - one he adored - made married life almost impossible. He was a hard task master, and a disciplinarian, she was too - but less so. I loved them both in my own way - though we had huge arguments during my rebellious teens - and I miss them both hugely.
13. Who are some of your closest friends?
Most of my close friends live thousands of miles from me... such as Maygra, Candygramme, my closest friend in terms of distance is probably my sister who lives nearly 300 miles away.

25. What are you currently doing? Filling this out, and trying to string some words together for a story.
26. If someone liked you right now, would you want them to tell you? ER....maybe, though I am happily spoken for - it might be a bit too much to be the object of someone else’s affection whilst in a relationship.
