: About Me

Starting out my working life in a plant hire centre, then moving on to a career in a prison library, I used to joke that I was the only librarian in the country (UK, that is) with a certificate to change abrasive wheels.
Years later, when I trained as a florist, the joke became that I was the only florist in the country trained as a hostage negotiator.
Some of the other entries on my CV include a small amount of published poetry and awards won for web site designs. Oh, and regular public speaking as a Kleeneze distributor. The biggest audience I ever addressed was around 2000. That's if you don't count speaking on the local radio chat show.
I've been writing web site content for clients ranging from a carpet retailer to a power tool wholesaler to network marketers for almost a decade now, and decided it's time to go freelance.
So now I'm an ex-librarian, ex-website designer, ex-network marketer, ex-florist cum freelance writer with a passion for getting the message across that you work to live and not the other way around.

1 of 3

Despite the US National Library of medicine's Medline Plus assertion that "body weight reduction has not been proven to be associated with psyllium use in adults," many still believe that psyllium husks can help with weight loss. This is because, as a source of natural dietary fibre, it increases the feelings of fullness in the stomach after a meal, and as a bulk forming laxative, promotes bowel regularity and excretion of fat in stools, thereby preventing its storage in the body. And with no known side effects other than a few people experiencing flatulence or upset stomach, combined with...
