I chatted and PM'd a lady on here, who lives in the Isle of Wight, who's surname turned out to be the same as my maiden name!

My sister, who still has my maiden name, recently brought a property in the Isle of Wight, who happened to be the lady who was marketing the property?? Yes the lady I spoke to on here!!!

She and my sister got chatting that's how they got to discover the coincidence!!!!!

Definately a small world!!!!

I started my job here (Australia) and a guy in my team said I know your last name, turns out he worked with my husbands uncle in Scotland

Next one, dad picks up (coach driver) a family bound for Australia in Manchester and says Oh, where are you going, they said QLD.

He said oh, where abouts, they said Sunshine Coast,

He said oh, where abouts, they said Currimundi

Dad said my good god my daughter lives there turns out they live 4 doors down

My daughter had to buddy a new girl in her class and it turns out that it was Wendys daughter. Not only that but her husband used to go out with my best mate whilst we all slammed school together. Turns out that they were living just round the corner from us. Hadn't seen him for 21 years. Also went out with the same guy that Wendy had only a couple of years earlier.

Spooky..............

See I read things like that and my mind boggles as to how the conversation got to that link. I have no idea who my husband's grandmother's next door neighbour was or even their address

The conversation was that she had moved to Perth when she was 9, her family came from the same area as mine, she went back for a while and met her now husband who returned to perth with her and they married a year ago, she mentioned the family coming out for the wedding, i remembered my parents telling me that the neighbours where here last year for a wedding, and i know her father in law
I emailed a pic of us both with the baby and my mum has been round with the pic today.

Its surprising what you chat about at 4am on night duty
