Singstar would sort out the world's problems...get one!

About Me

Hi! I am a 29 year old Secondary School English Teacher, who is happily married to Nick and have a very lickle baby called Owen! I am a massive music fan, film lover, social butterfly, comedian wannabe!

My Interests

Playing with my gorgeous baby, cinema, gigs, shopping, eating, drinking!

I'd like to meet:

Just re-readthis and think it means who would you like to meet on here, not in general. Ah well, am happy to meet no-one just communicate with my lovely mates!

Music:

Eclectic to say the least- I hate music snobbery. Good music is good music no matter what genre. I am a bona fide rock fan, with huge indie leanings. Into Motown, soul, pop, rock, indie but am not a fan of house- unless it hasa soaring chorus to sing along to. Into Editors, Maximo Park, Athlete, Snow Patrol- you get the idea!

Movies:

Extreme Asian stuff like Oldboy, Battle Royale, Comedy like Dodgeball, chick flix like Grease and Dirty Dancing, and a whole load in between.

Television:

The Sopranos- best series ever, crap hospital dramas LOVE'EM. Massive comedy fan- Spaced, League of Gents, Phoenix Nights, Still Game, Little Britain, Nighty Night etc. Have a bit of a soft spot for Homes under the Hammer, Car booty- think that is a symptom of being home all day! A;lso love foresnic progs, murder solving- I am not a weirdo it is just fascinating!

Books:

English teacher- so many to list! Lovin' the bookseller of Kabul at the moment. Favourites- The Cement Garden, The Corrections, Memoirs of a Geisha, Holes, Da Vinci Code, Enduring Love, loads more! The Outsiders is amazing.

Heroes:

My parents, female broadcasters (so wanted to do that- have a "face for radio!"), The Tudors, anyone who gets off their arse to help other people, Ian Brown, Richard Ashcroft, Ian McEwan, my mates that do really tough jobs (social workers, police etc!-couldn't do it!) and generally most of my kids who work really hard to achieve their best!

My Blog

Trampolining!

Is the best sport ever! I was WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL good too- couldn't believe it. A half turn into a seat drop and a half turn out- on my first go? Would you Adam and Eve it- I only darn well did...

Heat

As far as I am aware, (along with the "your lesson is cancelled if a teacher ain't turned up in 15 mins" school law), you can be sent home from school when it is too hot. Like a reverse snow day. But ...
