A wine forum, period property, a cuppla very private ones (no not that sort of private ), a money forum, two widders forums and the local town forum ..... I think that's it, no also the one for Sage users. Oh yes and one for my other hobby (when I can't get out to garden) - dollshousing.

Moneysavingexpert, and a few other gardening ones which I don't actually use since I found the grapevine. I've learnt to be careful with the forums I join, as one that I innocently thought was about gardening was indeed about growing 'weed'!!!

Mhh... dollshousing, maybe I should join that one though! Hubby got me one for my bday!!

I belong to a couple of on-line quilting groups but never thought of myself as a 'forum' person. That's until I found you addictive people and your shared obsession (sorry, interest!) in gardening. tThis has become something of a home from home. I am used to people's eyes glazing over when I talk about what I'm growing - doesn't happen here!

It is poor Shirl, I must agree.

I am on 2 other gardening ones and thats me. My rugby and scuba take up too much time to be active elsewhere.

Nicos and I belong to the same France forum. I also use two other gardening forums, tho not as often as here, just found Saga but probably wont stay with that much longer.

Plus two for work and a couple of lifestyle forums which I help moderate.

Mrs D, what's the chili forum please, sounds interesting?

No others here, plain and simple me!! I was looking at a motorhoming site but it seems boring compared to the fun on here so I havent bothered. Was on a comps site a couple of years ago, before I discovered the delights of veg growing, but they all got soooo serious that I left fairly quickly. I've never been much of a forum/web person before, so i have you lot to thank for 'converting' me!!

I am just trying to suss out how you can watch scuba diving!!!!!!!!

Participation Hazel, esp the rugby (no 3, tight head prop). The scuba is a more warm water pursuit for me as I am a wimp with regard to cold water.

amazing variety here - myself, I belong to an all-girls forum, two gardening, one business and one to sit some lard off my butt

Nicos & TonyF - would you mind PMing me with the French one? I have a pal that moved out to France in August this year and she is struggling out there, it may just help her
