About Me

I'm a housewife & mum of 3 and possess all the relevant superpowers e.g. almost infinite patience, amazing peripheral vision and the ability to tell if you're lying. I have fabulous sons; eldest at Keele University (Biology and Forensic Science), middle at Tasker House (ESPA College) and youngest just beginning his Secondary education. I'm a bit of a nerd/geek really, but not in a bad way (!). I'm a bit of a pedant too! My deep rooted fears include spiders and not knowing stuff. Subsequently I like to read a lot in any available arachnid-free zone. Hence, I will never travel to Australia, despite quite fancying the idea. My mp3 player is stuffed with audiobooks, I love music and wake up with a song in my head every day (don't ask!) and I'm an avid movie fan. I'm surrounded by guitars! No 1 son and my partner both play and it's great!
Oh, and I really like chocolate. And Rugby League.

Oh, and I have this thing for Mad Max 2 - I think it's the leather.

NICE, KIND people - overused words to describe under-used qualities. There's nothing wrong with being nice!
