This isnt an arse lick post lol.

How do i come across as a person, a mummy, a friend? Am i approachable or not? Do i seem friendly?

I am always getting told i am unapproachable and can be a bit clever and take charge (i dont mean to be)!!

So honest opinions cause maybe i need to work on it! (dont worry i wont get offended i am thick skinned)

I am sometimes told the exact same things as you! I dont think i am like that but maybe its first impression.

I remember first 'speaking' to you on AB and i thought you seemed really nice and genuine. I think my overall impression of you is that you are a kind person and good fun but that you would not stand for nay nonsense!

I think ur a great mum to start off with x
I dont think ur untouchable atall i knw its on here and i havent actually met u but i think ur easy to talk too x
So what if u take charge thats not a bad thing xx

Brill mummy, fab friend and definitly approachable!
I love the way you say exactly what you are thinking

ok mara ... i feel maybe me and you dont quite connect ( i know we spoke about this the other day (.. and i dont know why either lol )
although its been much better on here that it was others places x

You arent any of those, and Ive met you person!

I would describe you as genuine, kind, thoughtful, helpful and honest - never seemed a pushy one!

Of course a good mum!

You know I think you are fab which is why you are my right hand woman on Banda!

you come across to me as someone who speaks their mind. if you've got something to say, you will say it you also come across as very funny yet you wont take any bullshit. i dont think you hold any prisoners either you're very re-assuring as well (in a mumsy way) and i bet you would fight anyone who insulted your family xx

i think you come across as very loyal but maybe a little bit guarded.

Mara! You are one of the most genuine peeps I have ever talked to. You call it as you see it and that is an admirable quality. You wear so many different hats, being a mom, a wife, and a loving friend. You have lived many an experience in your life that you can draw upon every experience to help out others, which you do so well. A true friend tells you the truth, good..bad..and fugly.. and that anyone can get from you. You are a gem..and one of the people I can truly call a booby-buddy! I love you Missus! xxx

Mara I think you're so genuine, warm and approachable and, like Lisa, I've met you IRL too. xxx

i often get people totally wrong till i met them in person . x same as i think people always get me wrong x

...I think you smell funny xxx

Who has said about you???

I think you are funny, decent and honest. You say what is on your mind and don't say anything about anyone that you wouldn't say to their face (not that you are often found talking about people!!). If you have a problem with someone you can approach them about it, then once you have said your piece then that's it you leave it alone....you don't drag it out for ages!!

You are stong willed and confident, and you fight fiercly for your family and will tackle anyone who dares to hurt them.

You are loving and loyal and a FAB Mum, you can stay calm in a scary situations (seen first hand). Your kids love you to bits and they can talk to you about anything and are a credit to you.

Oh and you are a bit of a hoot to be around!!!!
xx

when you think of it thats actually a hard question to answer of someone you dont know

but yeh you come across very helpful. I guess I would have to know you in person to be able to comment on the unapproachable part? I dont know how to answer it. But from what the other girls that you have met have said you sound like a very caring friend and person. you seem like a great mum and I think that you seem like very sensible and grounded person

i typed a post like this last night and never pressed send!

ill be honest....... i never liked u much at first, didnt know how to take u. i couldnt put my finger on it thou. so its nothing personal... u know one of them things u either like some one or u dont??

then u was on my FB and i seen a diff person. a parent. and i thought actual, shes alright really.

ur honest to a point of being brutal. thats not a bad thing. u worry far too much bout other ppl !!!

acch ur an alright sort. but i sure wouldnt wanna be on ur bad side!!

in my honest opinion u r approachable and must be a fab mum cos ur always on hand to give great advice if anyone needs it

u r however very straight talking and speak ur mind which personally i like and think its the best way for ppl to be i cant be arsed with beating around the bush this may be why ppl find u as unapproachable but i definitely dont think being straight talking is a bad or unapproachable is a bad quality to have and the only ppl that would think so are the ppl that cant handle being told the truth

u have nothing to worry bout at all hun

See..I don't think you can be super sensitive with certain ppl. There are some that can take a gentle hint/nudge..and there are those that have to be hit upside the head a few dozen times to finally get it. Mara is the type..whether you like it or not..will tell you the truth and sometimes it's hard to hear, but I would rather have it shoved in my face by someone who genuinely cares for me, than someone who simply could give a rats ass.

You are a really nice person, fab mum but you wont take no shit !

Personally u seem like a great mum.
Always there for them obviously love them and care for them. You always know what to do if they are ill or hurt themselves, you support your husband and work really hard though you should feed him more.

Now having said this you do often come across as very unsympathetic e.g. husband is throwing his ring up in a public lav while u having a go at him for not putting baby to bed. This needs a little work.

Also you could lose some inhibitions in the bedroom too.
Why not when husband at work invite a cool friend round drink plenty of vodka and make a jelly for his return as a surprise

good luck

Lol you seem like a husband beater to me too honey

And i was only kidding before,you know i love you xxx

oh i say Mara, this Clint fellow is awfully flattering, do you know him well?

Well as well as any wife knows his husband but not as well as you and his stalker it seems lately pmsl

Was that the *ahem* woman that was loitering on here last night?? Oh my word, what a vulgar mofo

Girls thank you all. Like i said it wasnt an ass lick post.
The reason behind it was that i question myself sometimes, with all the crap i have had with my family it makes me question how i am or is it me, something i am doing?

So you have made me feel better and i love each and every one of you.

Laura i love your honesty hun, and Emma re-add me on FB and we will reconnect hun

I still think you smell funny x
