I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

It's about time I wrote something interesting on here about myself. Okay, here we go....Hi my name is Cheryl and I'm a chocoholic, in fact I eat too much chocolate. I cannot go through a day without it.
I have a very sweet daughter who means the world to me. She's ace! I'm currently on a teacher training course and doing some voluntary teaching at college with the art and design students. I love it!!! At the moment I'm working as an additional learning support officer, helping student who need that extra little help. I also do graphic design, (check below) which I love. My speciality is varied. I like illustration, letter-press and photo-montage.
I'm gonna sound terribly sad now.... I don't get out often. Usually about once every 2/3 months. That is bad isn't it. At the end of each year, I say to myself "Chez, you gotta get yourself out more" So, this time I am definitely gonna try and get out at least once a month! I'm sure it's some kind of karma getting back at me, from my blurry days of too much partying many years back.
Anyway, that enough of me for now. I may write some more when I'm feeling it. To be honest I can't be arsed writing about myself :D
