The girlie gang

Here's the girlie gang (my best buddies from school) all sporting stick-on 'taches, which obviously seemed like a good idea at the time.

• Mary, aka Mary-Fairy, aka Mary-Aeroplane, aka Pooh
  
• married to dp's best mate from school, Leon (which is how I met dp and makes us a sort of Fred'n'Wilma'n'Barney'n'Betty type thingy)
  
• her daughter Kate was born just two days before Felix and took Olympic Gold for being the Smiliest Baby In The World
• lives in the West Country with 2 border collie crosses called Milly and Tiki
• knows no fear, her soul belongs in the mountains

• Jade, aka Pooh's best mate Piglet
  
• scandinavian blonde, the smallest and youngest of us all
• power lady, one half of a power couple
• lives in Kent with hubby, little girl and baby boy
• very sharp and witty, knows her own mind, and has most respectfully asked me not to put photos of her on the blog, so I have most respectfully said that's fine with me.

• Giselle, aka Gi, aka Gigi, aka Gi-bum, aka Dizzy Gis, aka Eeyore
• lives in Raynes Park with her brood, Oscar and Esme and hubby Dean
• half Trinidadian, her mother is bit of a firebrand, but Gigi has inherited that chilled out Caribbean vibe
  
• completely neurotic about her body and weight but OH MY GOD is she stunning

• Hannah, aka H, aka Ash, aka Tigger
• is an army Major no less
• lives somewhere, not sure where at the moment because she moves about a lot, with daughter Holly and son James
• boundless energy, one of those people who simply loves exercise (something I have never quite got my head around)
• goes to a party, talks to absolutely everyone and genuinely finds other people's lives fascinating (something I have never quite got my head around)
• missed out on the hilarity (read 'humiliation') of the tash party - this photo is the only other one i have
  

• Ely, aka Ella Bella, aka Animal (we had to borrow from Sesame Street because she was too wild a yoof for any of the Pooh characters)
• mother to Pippa and Zoe (yay for girls)
• lives in the New Forst with the girls, her hubby Simon and their scarily well-behaved border collie Ted, (probably the most obedient dog in the world)
• earth mother and the best listener i have ever known

• and me, aka N, aka Noops, aka Nupsta, aka Owl
• well you know all about me

everyone's gonna kill me - these photos are so unflattering
