Hi from the Knit and Purl Girl!

About Me

I live in beautiful Essex with my partner and my beautiful puss-cat Jasmine. We have just bought our first house and are as a consequence, completely skint - but happy and thats the main thing in life. I work as a trainee buyer in the public sector which takes up a lot of my time because I am expected to do a purchasing degree as well as my job, yawn! If I asked one of my friends to discribe me they would probably say that I am a caring, crazy type person who looks on the bright side - most of the time....

My Interests

I love knitting (a bit odd for a 28 year old I know but I am all prepared for being an OAP!), anything to do with art and making stuff, reading, sleeping, laughing, being with my family, camping, ebaying (this really must stop - too expensive!), shopping (this also really must stop, again too expensive!)

adopt your own virtual pet!

I'd like to meet:

People with similar interests as me to find out more about this strange old world!

Television:

I am addicted to Big Brother and Lost. I do not tend to watch soaps as they waste a lot of time. I like documentaries, natural history, and make-over type tv either people or houses - I do not mind which! Oh and not to forget the best cartoon ever - Ren and Stimpy!

Books:

My favourite book would have to be Memoirs of a Geisha Girl closely followed by The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. I went through a stage of reading Harry Potter books but the last one I read was really hard going, not interesting at all so I have kind of given up! I am currently reading The Long Way Round by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman which is fab and groovy!

Heroes:

I love people with a positive outlook so the people I would most like to meet are Rolf Harris, Jamie Oliver, Vernon Kay, Paul O'Grady, Bob Geldof, Spongebob Squarepants.
