I am here for Friends

About Me

what can i say.. just an ordinary gal originally from small town Wales, but have called Manchester home for 7 years now..in a nut shell: trying to buy a house at the moment (fucking scary and really exciting) so swopping one leafy suburb for another (cheaper) one. Recently entered bizarro world of internet dating as there really are no single men in my world, well none that meet my strict criteria (straight, interesting, "interested" and not sleazy)so that will be interesting.. Like music, dancing, gossip, trashy magazines, my job, my friends, cruising the mean streets of south manchester in my trusty fiesta Ducky, arguing the toss (sorry I mean having stimulating conversation),soap opera, jonny vegas, massages, campness, burlesque (hence the photo, an homage to the lovely dita!),painting, the works of John Shuttleworth (genious)nag champa incense..dreaming of a better world..Things that really get my goat:People who don't say please and thankyou, People who don't use indicators - especially when driving on motorways! Hollyoaks, daytime tv, beaurocracy, lazy, shit, formulaic music, ineffective organisations that eat public money! not a definitive list, i'm sure i'll think of some more..
