: About Me

Mother of 4, living near London. Always loved writing, got sidetracked a little bringing the kids up but it was always there in my mind.
Some of my hobbies are writing (who'd have thunk it?), reading, messing around with my children, having discussions about religion, philosophy and life in general and playing with my Golden Retriever, Amber, who is a complete softy.
Favourite movies include Schindlers List, Fight Club, Moulin Rouge and anything else that makes me feel slightly inspired, either in a good way or a slightly disturbed way.
Dislikes include cooking (although i am good at it i have to say), cleaning the house, ironing clothes and shopping. I hate shopping for clothes.
