Yes, Sweetleaf & Ziggy, you have correctly identified yourselves!!
That just leaves two ... here are some more clues:
A is wearing the virtual Christmas present I gave him
D's coat isn't quite the colour she described, but it was as near as I could get

 Correct! Couldn't quite get the orange workman's coat - for some reason the doll site thinks that girlie dolls don't wear those  - clearly the person who designed it doesn't know any gardeners |

Congratulations! You've now - between you - got all of them right ;D Your prize is to get to see what I wear in the garden - at this time of year, anyway. My jumper is a bit baggier & less off-the-shoulder (& usually a lot muddier) than this, but otherwise this is more or less it ...  |

It looks very demure Juliet. What fun trying to guess.  |

Demure!  I usually come in from gardening looking as though I've knelt in a bog & then been dragged through a hedge backwards  |

LOL...your supposed to say 'of course i look demure'. Reminds me of the time we lost our wee puddy cat for a few days (prob got locked in someones shed)....on the field next to our house is a cat paradise and we spent hours shouting and walking around looking for her. Through this bit of ground runs a footpath. Yours truly decided to get off the bus early and walk home via the footpath and look for the cat. I phoned OH to let him know i was going to do this. I ended up in the middle of the field bog looking for the cat....no success. I decided to give up and walked towards my house which i could see...forgetting that to get to the footpath to get home i would have to climb a bund wall made of soil. I got up the bund wall ok and tried to get down t'other side when my heels got stuck and i fell flat on my face (complete with handbag on the arm). I tried several times to get up but the shoes were stuck fast. I had trouble getting the feet out of my shoes due to the angle....i was just praying that the OH or neighbour couldn't see me from the houses. When i got up i was covered head to foot in mud and looked like i'd been mugged. I walked home praying i wouldn't meet anyone i knew and on entering the front door i quietly made my way to the lounge door to inform OH what had happened and that i was off for shower...imagine my face when sitting in the lounge watching footie with OH was a pal of his! Nothing was said as they turned and looked at me together in complete shock and horror. I couldn't think what to say so i just said...i'm off for a shower! Of course,OH later asked why i had come home in such a state and was just laughing.  Flaming cat came home next day looking slightly dishevelled but none the worse for wear unlike her owner!  |

Nice one Ziggy.... ;D When I first got my cat from the rescue centre, they advised me to keep him in for 2 weeks before letting him out in the garden but even then not to let him stay out all night. (I still don't and I'm sure this is why neither of them hunt.) Anyway a couple of weeks later, it was about midnight, I'd been at work 10am - 10pm and I thought I'd find him and try to get him in. Well, the day before, there was some pretty strong winds and the fence between mine and next doors garden had blown down and there he was sitting in next doors garden. It was really quite dark and I didn't want to stand on the borders too much as there were plants in both sides so I thought I'd stand right in the middle and quickly jump over. How the hell was I to know the bloke next door had decided that in order to re-erect the fence he needed to dig a 3 feet deep hole to put the new fence post in..................................

Well....... Only one leg went down the hole so I more or less did the splits!!! I have never been able to do it before or infact, since!!! BUT..... you have NEVER seen anyone get themselves untangled and out so fast in all your life. Bizarrely, I kept looking round to see if anyone had seen me (like anyone would at midnight!) and was blushing scarlet. I grazed my chin and pulled all the muscles in both my thighs. As I was hobbling back inside the F-ing cat shot past me and was snuggled up in MY chair by the time I got there!!!! |

The joys of having cats. Bet you avoided your neighbour for a while Skarloey (just in case he did see you)  . I wonder what your OH's explaination to his mate was Ziggy ;D

I wonder what your OH's explaination to his mate was Ziggy ;D Apparently (typically male) he didn't say anything BUT the 'pal' went to the local Golf Club and told them what had happened which resulted in lots of questions about my welfare which OH and myself had to answer which is difficult when people were falling about laughing. |

Poor you Ziggy. ;D ;D ;D I don't think anyone ever saw me. But I forgot to say that I was actually in a long, WHITE (well it was pre-hole) fluffy dressing gown and I'd only just got out the bath!  Who'd have 'em!! |

Thank you lot for this thread. Pity I only just found it. No need to guess who is who anymore. Where do you get those dolls Juliet. As for what I wear. What ever I have on already. From nighty to jeans to mini skirt. I walk out the back door and slip into my clogs ( yes I am a remnant of that now rather rare Dutch Dinosaur with wooden feet ) and get dirty. ;D Only when it rains I put on my green raincoat. The only water resistant one I have left.
