I am here for Friends

About Me

Woahhhh!!!! 39?! when the frig did that happen? I'm not at all comfortable with how old I am so we'll just pretend its not happening ok? where did my life go?! I was born 20 years too early damnit! Anyway a bit about me then...I love music and campervans. My most favourite bands ever ever ever are MUSE, FEEDER, HALO, 30STM, and ABSENT ELK. I just cant get enough of them! :D Ive always got a song in my head, even when i dont want one there! (like in the middle of the night when im trying to sleep but cant cos my mind is singing a song! ) Theres always music being played in some form or other in my life, whether it be on a cd at home, in the car, in theatre at work or when Mikey (our youngest) is playing one of his guitars....which is at every spare moment he gets!Something else I love is Tim Burtons Tragic Toys. Theyre just the cutest things ever! I'm also slightly obsessed with Converse Hi-Tops. I had some when i was a kid and loved them back then, and now I have quite a few pairs, much to the annoyance of my family cos they think I have too many. Pfft!My ambition is to get the kids all grown up and left home and then I want to sell the house, buy a 1960's VW campervan and travel the world in it. How brill would that be? No mortgage, no job, no bills, just the world, my campervan, me and Rob. Lovely. Can't wait.

Right, that'll do donkey, that'll do

My Interests


FACTS ABOUT ME
I love chocolate but i hate chocolate flavoured things like ice cream and chocolate mousse.yuck!
Whenever i meet someone new they nearly always feel compelled to sing Hey Jude at me when i tell them my name.
I will only drink PG Tips tea.I know if it isn't PG Tips so don't try to fob me off!
If i drink coffee i have to eat frozen peas straight after
In 1996 I almost died from pneumonia.The doctors told my husband to expect the worst, but i got better! yay!

I've made a cd of the music i want played at my funeral. It might seem morbid but its really important to me that the music is right when i'm being sent off. I want it to reflect who i am/was I nearly always only wear white tops.I dont like colours and i cant wear black
With the help of some good friends I overcame a fear of crowded places so I could start going to gigs and enjoy watching my favourite bands.I still can't get stuck in where its too crowded tho, i tend to stick to the edges
