I love to laugh, I love my friends and I love to be spontaneous. I love to have sole control of the remote control/the cooker/the fruit basket. I love to be able to decide what I'm doing at the last minute and just head off somewhere. I love to run or, to be more accurate, I love the run once I've completed it! Sundays are spent climbing with my friends with all the associated laughs and banter that that brings. I generally love to be active and sink into sloughs of despond when I can't be. I love to sing and although I used to act and sing regularly on local stages, these days I can't seem to fit it all in.

I work for a large engineering company in Derby but I confess that nowadays I'm less ambitious than in the past and that my time away from work is more important to me.

In my spare time, I run (mainly because I love my food so I have to work off the pounds), I do yoga, I climb (rock), I act, I sing (not great but I don't tend to make it rain). I enjoy going to the movies and to the theatre (love musicals - sorry).

I really wouldn't know...!

Anything trash - I don't take my entertainment seriously. The perfect formula for a film is one that contains aliens, shooting and car chases. The one exception to this is a rather terrible film called Skyline. I cannot recommend it highly enough. No, I really can't.

I read an awful lot and was recently bought a Kindle which is my new favourite gadget of choice.

I do take my food VERY seriously....:-)

The internet
My friends
My cat (although she's actually stolen from next door)
A home, stability and security (let's pretend they are all one)
Laughter
being able to keep fit

Where I would like to be in the future. If I'm truly honest, I'm not at my happiest when I'm single. I can manage perfectly well on my own and I do like my independence but I would love to have someone to share it with.

I do also spend a lot of time thinking about running routes - I get bored doing the same old routes. And food - whether or not I've had my five that day. :-)

Every other Friday is a yoga class followed by climbing (because of the shift pattern of the yoga instructor). Fridays in between tend to be rest days - days to meet up with friends.

Nah, you don't get me THAT easily!

You like the sound of my profile and you live within a reasonable distance of me and you are interested in a stable, long term relationship - no fooling around.

And if you're over 40. I want a relationship, not a child to look after.

Oh, and you must have your own life, your own money, your own passions and not want to leech off mine. Then I promise not to leech off you. :-)
