Hi, my name is Jacquelyne and I am married to Bill and have two children, Katherine, aged 25 and William aged 24. I am a teacher working in a school in Rochester tutoring foreign Boarders English and British pupils GCSE English. I have only been a Barry fan for a couple of years and am trying to make up for lost time !!! We have two cats, Jack and George, plus three new arrivals: two kittens, Archie and Ralph and an adorable puppy named Betty. She is a cross Shih Tzu/Maltese. I think I needed the animals because of the empty nest syndrome and I need Barry because of my severe mid-life crisis! Welcome friends and anyone who wants to share Barry memories.

Thank you for the friend request! I am looking forward to speaking with you. Are you going to the 02 in December? I always ask my UK friends that same question, haha. Also, I see that you are a new fan? Please join my club "Looks like were newbies"--its for new fans. We just post pics and silly questions--you know, fun stuff. :)
Looking forward to talking with you soon. :)

Yes, all booked up for the O2 Party and for the Manchester show too ... nearly wasnt going to go as when I went in to book for the concert it offered me some row back in Block D. Well that is a long way to go for one show and be that far back, especially now that I am well and truely spoilt as seeing Barry in Music and Passion in Vegas makes you ... so sadly I left it. However, after lunch I went into the site again just to be nosy and see how the tickets were selling and it offered me 7th row so I snapped it up and am now doing Manchester too - sigh!
It was a bit worrying about the Party booking too at first wasnt it, and then when the time changed to going on sale at 6.00pm I knew I couldnt make it home by then - thank God for good friends. So, yes, I must be mad but I am all booked up and although completely broke I am SO EXCITED!!!!

;o)
I re-re-re-re-re-re-rejoined Weight Watchers! Lol!
I first joined 21 yrs ago, but then fell pregnant with my first. This similar pattern repeated itself ... three other times! After my fourth pride & joy was born, I joined for the 5th time and got to goal! Yiperdee do da! Or so I thought!
My brain was not ready for the 'New Me' so the pounds/stones pilled back on and then shame set in! I repeated this pattern once more, four years ago. Although, that time, I kept it off a tad longer. However, I stopped going to the meetings - cos I was cured!!! Lol!
So, last November, a week before my birthday, I had a long hard chat with myself and litterally 'talked myself' all the way to a meeting. What got me this time was that I didn't just focus on the dress size - in fact I don't really care what the label reads - but I totally freaked out when I realised my BMI was 36! I was 4 away from being morbidly obese! Now, I'm quite tall (5ft7) so everyone would say "Oh, you're ok, you're tall!"
My BMI however said something else! Today, I'm done to 28 - only 3 away from being "healthy".
The other factor was when my eldest mentioned possible wedding bells in 2010!
So, all in all, I think this time could be the right time - but it bl@#~y hard work, I tell you!
Hope this helps!
;o)
No, i'm not going to be there. i'm coming up on the saturday for the concert with three friends, it's just too difficult to get there friday as well. Have a good time.
