About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

I'm fairly easy going most of the time - have definitely mellowed with age. I've kept a little of my feisty side though - can't have green eyes and not be feisty! I've been married to Andrew since '96 and we live in a village on the south coast of England along with our mutt, Herman. For those who have asked about photos of him - it's more than my marriage is worth! He's a very private bloke and I must respect that. I love the quiet life but I do miss those mad nights in London with all the old crowd.
I work in education - absolutely love it. I get to enjoy the company of some pretty cool teenagers most of whom give me faith that the world will be safe in their hands. I always look forward to my Wednesday evenings with my best mate but generally suffer the next day - I'm not as young as I was!
Would love to hear from any of you who knew me back in the 80's and early 90's. In case anyone wondered - the green hair is long gone - but I'd do it all again!
This is Ro-Ro. She was stolen from the wild and kept as a caged pet in someones kitchen in Taiwan before being rescued by the Taiwanese authorities. Ro-Ro now lives at Monkeyworld and I'm her adoptive mummy - well one of them! You can read about her and her friends at www.monkeyworld.org

Fakes

I can't stand fakes. I mention I'm a vegetarian and I get the response "Oh I'm a vegetarian but I eat fish"  Well then you're not a bloody vegetarian are you?  I don't give a monkey's if yo...
