Morning, tinkerbell23. I hope you are feeling a bit better today.
I've never tried Bongo but one of the downsides of the web is that many of our details are available to others. For example if I put my phone number in Google my name comes up, and if I put my name in you can see the names of all those living at my address.
I reckon that anyone could probably have a pretty good go find out a bit about you, without even knowing your name. For example if I said Glasgow, or 'Paris Disneyland casting' or Ayia Napa would I be hot or cold with any of these?

look in this forum

well they can't all be true sb - a dog got in 2009 will not be one! You can't be a student nurse AND a nurse

[squarebear]

Bongo gets your name and date of birth to help them. As I say, it was just a quick 5 minutes search. As far as I could see, Jo is a student nurse who has recently got a degree in Nursing and is nmot a full nurse.

Assuming the dog was born on 14th December 2009, it would be 1 now.

I've now been sucked in and am awaiting a response with eager anticipation and a generous dollop of trepidation.........

[squarebear]

lol me too. I might be way off the mark but we will see.

I am especially proud of "TV sits on a brown cabinet in living room"

You there tinks?

[bednobs]

what year are you living in SB?

[squarebear]

2011

dog is 0 on 14/12/2009
so dog is 1 on 14/12/2010
it is not yet 14/12/2011 so dog is still one year old.

[factor-fiction]

SB could be right- if the dog was born in December 2009 it would still be one (second birthday next month)

[EcclesCake]

Well that was £2.50 well spent.....

....apparently I'd rather be in Spain being looked after by a sexy waiter! Er no, not really.

On the positive side, it means the data mining software has been beaten by my cautious internet profile!!!

[squarebear]

ok let's try curtains in living room have a patch of dark brown at the bottom and then go up in shades until they go white?

Actually I think her dog was born on 15th October 2011 and so is two by now. Jo must have got the dog in December when it was 2 months old. She bout the dog a rubber chicken as a birthday present.

She was chief bridesmaid at her friend Kimberley's Wedding back in August of this year and lives in Coatbridge, Northern Ireland.

Your privacy is much better eccles. I could only find this about you:

went to Amsterdam in November 2010
makes own chutney
allergic to dogs
married
had a troubled relationship with mother
has a Nokia mobile phone
enjoys cooking
had trouble with skin
Went to Guernsey on holiday
has kidney damage
likes watching River Cottage

[EcclesCake]

An update SB - I had to cancel the trip to Amsterdam; the Nokia phone is long gone and I think there is only a risk of kidney problems if I take a particular drug over a long period of time.

Otherwise not bad, and thank you confirming that I do maintain a cautious approach!!! And for not mentioning I have big boobs and like Rigby & Peller underwear.
