About Me

I am married, very happily, to Darren (or Daz as everyone else calls him). Darren is an HGV driver and I am Bid Manager for a construction company working in community regeneration. I have 3 wonderful step kids: Sophie (16), Josh (13) and Zoe (11). We share our home with shih tzu dogs Muttley (4) and Ralphie (1Â¾ months), cats Frostie and Custard and not forgetting our 8 hens (Bubbles, Marmite, Margot, Barbara, Truvvie, Shelbie, Blanche and Bianca). The final member of the family is our 27 year old ex-army Lightweight Landrover nicknamed "The Dog" (a bargain at twice the price!)

You Would Be a Pet Bird
You're intelligent and witty, yet surprisingly low maintenance.
You charm people easily, and they usually love you a lot more than you love them.
You resent anyone who tries to own or control you. You refuse to be fenced in.

Why you would make a great pet: You're very smart and entertaining

Why you would make a bad pet: You're not interested in being anyone's pet!

What you would love about being a bird: Flying, obviously

What you would hate about being a bird: Being caged What Kind of Pet Would You Be?

I'd like to meet:

Family people, Landrover freaks, anyone from anywhere in the World who shares my belief that we have more in common than what divides us. [Also anyone who actually knows how many kids they have sired, who can tell whether their 'wife' is mingin' or not and who knows the difference between fathering children and BEING a father!!!!!]
