About Me

ok, I'm not Minnie Driver but all my mates reckon I bear a resemblance so I've popped her poster up on myspace for now (until I find something more suitable). 28, curly haired gal from the South Wales valleys, I've been living in London since 1999.

My Interests

knitting - okay so have only managed to produce really long scarves but it's a start reading - anything and everything (suppose that's why I'm in PR) technology - I admit it, I'm a geek. Love reading about the latest tech, whether it's a new Apple product or a microchip that acts like a hard drive - wow! (see BBC online, 10 July 06)

Movies:

KingPin, Anchorman (almost anything with Will Ferrell to be honest though what was going on with BeWitched??), Big as it's an all time classic but my absolute favourite is It's a Wonderful Life - a great tear-jerker for a wintry Sunday afternoon.

Television:

As shameful as it is, I'm totally hooked on Big Brother 2006 - Nikki is hilarious while Glyn's 'coming of age' is certainly a sight to behold. Having bought my first place I love watching the latest home programmes especially Property Ladder - does anyone ever listen to Sarah Beeny, ever?? - and Grand Designs - inspirational on times. And also can't miss Saturday Kitchen (I remember the days when kids TV used to make me get up on weekends, not cookery programmes!) - be interesting to see how it develops without Wozza at the helm.

Books:

Adore anything by Martina Cole - okay they are slightly trashy and formulaic with too much swearing but for sheer entertainment they can't be beaten - real page turners. Watership Down - read it as a child - cried, read it as an adult - cried, watch the film - blubb the entire time!

Heroes:

Sigourney Weaver in Aliens - boy she kicked some alien butt!
