It is really only polite that I recite the trashy novel of my existence. Mills and Boon is just not my thing though I do enjoy living in the country and the occasional tumble in the hay with Lord Thomas. Yes, this small town, Scottish highlander bagged herself a Lord this year.
In my 28 years on this planet I have been as wide as I am tall, I’ve loved, lost, consumed insane amounts of ice cream and regularly travelled 400 miles just for a random nights out. I spent the millennium eve in a pub/field in the remote highlands of Scotland, slept on a pavement, been to Uni twice, worked as a BT telephone operator for 100 and 999, a website designer and social worker and had to renew my provisional driving licence.
I’m the youngest of 4 and last year my lovely and eccentric mother did a semi naked painting of me for my Christmas present… My dad talks to his cats - one is boss-eyes and the other can only walk in a diagonal line -. They’ve been married my whole life, mostly because no one else would be able to understand them.
I’m a Tom boy. I like video games, rock music, mud, engineering, building furniture and hardcore science! But I’m equally a 40’s housewife, darning socks, baking cakes, bleaching net curtains, curling my hair and fixing my red lipstick. if only I could stand up long enough in heels!
I work full time, at a hostel for homeless people, providing advice, counselling and practical solutions to turn their lives around! I’ve worked with people from a range of background with a cornucopia of issues. Everyone one craves stability, even if it’s from a routine of uncertainty. Sometimes you just need a helping hand to show you what you didn’t know was out there or to help you to have faith in your own choices.
In my womanhood I’ve never been smaller than a size 16 and at my largest a 26. I’ve been a gym bunny, diet fanatic but decided the money was better spent on fun times out, holidays, good food and of course.. Lots and lots of shopping!
The embracing life and not scales theory (avoiding moaning about what I don't have and what I am not and simply take action where needed) means I am genuinely very very happy. I have plenty of aspirations or goals just not pointless self deprecating ones.
That’s enough about me! If you eat the whole cake in one, you’ll have naught but crumbs for the rest of the week!
