About me

Gender Female
Occupation Worrier.
Location Midlands, United Kingdom
Introduction After gratefully leaving school I spent a couple of years nannying in London then America, then did a degree in film studies and cultural studies. Then it was time for the 'real world' and I've discovered that -like many today- I don't 'DO' the real world too well. A stressful (public sector) job led to anxiety and ulcer type problems, leading to debilitating weight gain. The job is now long gone, and the gastric bypass op should help me control my stomach. The rest is now up to me.
Interests My cats -Kismet & Marly, Films, Photography & photography competitions. Surfing the net, Reading, 50's & 60's music, airshows, Writing. msn/emailing my friends. Chilling on the Isle of Wight. -I love the sea and seagulls.

You're going to the moon! What did you forget to pack?

Not even the kitchen sink. I'm the kind of person who packs last minute but takes EVERYTHING 'just in case'. Even a fire extinguisher.
