About Me

I'm Kayleigh, I'm short, and I really love myself.
I work full time as a debt adviser at the Citizens Advice Bureau, but I try to sneak in and do general advice as much as possible, because it's much more exciting. I like to help people, and I'm very good at it, but I think I should be running things. I'm now studying for a degree in Public Services Management in my own time, through Northumbria Uni, which should all be done by the end of next year.
I want a job where I get to influence policy, because I frequently suffer from strong feelings of righteous indignation and I'm full of good ideas.
I won 'young achiever of the year' in Sandwell's Women of Achievement awards in 2005, because I'm the best.I'm not very modest.
I like music and films, but not really any particular genres.I like to read. I like essays and fiction and children,s books and comic books and The Observer. I also love trashy women's magazines, particularly Chat, Take A Break and That's Life.I like people recommending me new things that I'll like (and I'm pretty much open to anything), so find some good music, films and books and tell me about them.
I am very much in love with Dave. We are engaged and have lots of fun together. We live together in a nice house in Stourbridge.
I also like social networking sites for when there really is nothing to do, and so far I have one for books, one for films and have now got a music one! I like to fill things in! I am all over the internet now.

My Interests

Music, reading, travelling (although travelling in itself isn't fun, it's seeing new places which is the exciting bit) , dancing, people watching, make-up (Urban Decay), clothes, 80's pop, philosophy (epistemology and metaphysics) , Hello Kitty merchandise, fruit bashing (Capri-Sonne!), going on quests, going to the gym, naps on Sunday, Virgin Voyager trains, going to bed early, looking at B3ta.com, Dave's cooking
