About Me

Hey there... I am 31 years old..I'm a Single Parent to a very adorable and yet slightly demonic soon-to-be 3 year old. I returned to work in July after 2.5 years of full time parenting which was a bit of a shock to the system...just about getting the hang of the work-life balance thing now, so the stress is starting to wear off, thank goodness.
Work as an Internet Security type person - it's a new field of IT for me, so I am not at geek status yet....watch this space.

My Interests

I have many interests, but I really struggle to get any time to myself these days, full time job + full time single parent = i'm sooooooooo tired...

Anyway, if I ever do get time to myself, then I enjoy Art (am not good at it so am not claiming to be an artist - it's just relaxing and a nice thing to do)...doing a next steps course in Jan - yay
I love all Holistic Therapies. I completed a course which covered basic introductions to Massage, Reiki, Aromatherapy, Reflexology... I hope to take this further in the future and if I could ultimately make a career out of it, then I would be a very happy lady.

I love reading...bit hooked on books about spirituality at the moment...doing a bit of soul searching at present

I love puzzles of all sorts - crosswords, sudoku, logic problems.... Perplex City

About to head back to the gym after 2 months of skiiving.... it takes me about 3 weeks to get into it, and then I love it.. so am hoping to try and reclaim my figure soon... I haven't seen it for a while it's been hiding under chinese food and cakes - NEWSFLASH - I didn't make it back yet - so I am still a lazy wench... but I got a pedometer and a lovely hot pink armband for my ipod in me xmas stocking.. so maybe... hoho

I'd like to meet:

Everyone in the whole world - failing that anyone in the vicinity (physical and virtual) who is of like mind...

All the people on my friends list who I don't know in real life.

Music:

If I could only listen to 1 song/piece of music ever again, I would pick Clair De Lune by Claude Debussy. I like ambient stuff and then to the other extreme really loud rock music.... rar! and a few things inbetween.

Currently listening to my profile tune - love it !
Fratellis
Rave Anthems
Zutons
The Beatles ... love

Movies:

Anything except films that have really excessive violence. I can't handle it - too much of a girlie wimp. Nice fluffy movies are always good - tear jerkers

E.T makes me cry....god I am such a wimp

Oh god I watched the loveliest film yesterday The Lake House with keanu reeves and sandra bullock - i was totally blubbering!!

Television:

Nature Programmes, especially concerning the seas and oceans. Deep Blue and the Blue Planet etc I also like something to make me laugh...Ricky Gervais always does the trick as do some of those stand-up shows.

I love Charmed !! Working my way through the seasons - just about to start on Season 4

This Xmas I has mostly been watching Vicar of Dibley and Stenders

Books:

The Book of the Soul by Ian Lawton
