About Me


I work in a school office full time. I have an avoidant personality and would probably fall asleep during WWIII. I reject housework and chats about stuffing Avocados, Pine Kitchen Units and Red Wine stain removal! Vegetarian for 21 years (I'd rather talk to a cow over a hedge than eat it!) Love my kids and grandson more than anything in the world plus animals and rock music. Descended from English, Irish and German millworkers and clockmakers and have a very big family! Starting Certificate In Humanities with the OU in October - got my funding through! Oh B*gger - that means 16 hours study a week - when will I take my afternoon naps?
