About Me

I'm a blondie scouser chick who has three cats who I treat scarily too much like my children. lol. I'm a sucker for cute animals, so along with the 3 cats I adopted I also look after a local stray cat now who sleeps very comfortabley in an old dog kennel filled with blankets in my back garden.

What Does Your Name Mean?I love music especially singing, playing my precious piano (which is horribly out of tune at the mo so if anyone knows a good piano tuner in the North West give me a shout) and writing songs. I am quite crafty and used to sell my own handmade cards on ebay. I supported Manchester United from the age of 8 (which wasn't such a wise choice living in Liverpool...hehe), but stopped when I was 22 after my first visit to Old Trafford. As a scouser I found sitting in a stadium full of people chanting 'If you all hate scousers clap your hands' and 'If you are a scouser, surrender or you die' quite...uncomfortable shall we say. lol. So I decided to support the less frightening Blackburn Rovers who I sometimes pop down to watch at Ewood Park. I love travelling, and my favourite place I ever went to is definitely New York City, where I would love to go and live for a bit.I've done many crazy jobs in my time, both paid and voluntary. My two faves were working as a presenter on a local radio station 'FLAME FM' and travelling around with my old girlband 'Remedy'. We mainly performed in High Schools and ran workshops on self image. In my teens I used to be in a travelling Performing Arts troup called C.R.O.S.S. who, if you have ever been to a church youth group in the late 1990's, you may well have encountered at some stage. We would go all up and down the UK performing and running workshops in Dance, Drama and Music. In 1998 we went over to the U.S.A. to perform in and around Pennsylvania, New York, Baltimore and Washington D.C. I am now officially a published writer. You can check out my 'Culcha' column on the new women's magazine 'futurepink.com'. Like everyone else I've had my ups and downs, but right now I can say life is good. So...
