It's been just over 2 years now since I joined the world of parenting. Things are getting easier and more fun as each day passes. We're enjoying living in Northampton and meeting new people there. I'm currently looking to get back into work, what kind of work? Who knows! I can't really afford to be too picky with jobs being so scarce at the moment and wild horses couldn't drag me back into an office environment. I'm planning on going to university locally, once Bethany starts school, to do applied animal studies or something like that. I'd love to make some more friends in the Northampton area, especially other people with small offspring. I am NOT looking for cyber, romantic encounters, swinging, showing off pictures of my boobies or being sent pictures of random winkies. If that's what you're after then stop right there before you waste your time and mine. Ta.

being an attention whore, silly ideas, laughing, listening (except when doing something else cos i am really not a multitasker), maybe i'm a bit ADD?...... anyway... where was i? random useless knowledge, remembering song lyrics, using colour, being ticklish, cooking and eating, singing nursery rhymes, Wii fit, mariokart 64 and we love katamari!

i know the dance routine to Steps - Tragedy
I was raised in Tipton in the Black Country and still get cravings for pork scratchings (none of that tryhard pork crunch shite for me thanks. yuck.)

I'm not afraid of doing what's necessary and right, even if it's a mucky task and resent the fact that I'm seen as "cold" for it. or according to cupid one of the most un-loving people on the site. but honestly, under the practical, sometimes hard nosed exterior there is a nice mushy person and i am capable of having feelings sometimes too!

You live in, or near northampton and are a fellow parent.

okcupid thinks my profile needs to be longer. so here's some poetry and stuff. not by me though. i'm not that good, i leave it to the experts.

Oh there was once a man who had lost his own smile
And he wandered the country mile after mile
Never quite knowing what he wanted to find
For his heart it lay heavy with the weight of his mind
And he looked at the land through the tears in his eyes
For he knew that there were those who would will her to die
And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet
And he heard a voice singing him softly to sleep

I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother - I'll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child
So he climbed a high hill and he looked out to sea
And he heard a voice calling out softly to him
Open your heart boy for it needs to be free
And the next time you're crying come running to me

So he walked through the valleys the trees and the fields
And he came to a river where she waited for him
And they looked at the water of life flowing by
And he heard a voice saying 'you're not alone in the fight

Elation - The Levellers

This is my dream,
It is my own dream,
I dreamt it.
I dreamt that my hair was kempt.
Then I dreamt that my true love unkempt it. Ogden Nash - My Dream

Sit on my face and tell me that you love me
I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you, too
I love to hear you oralize
When I'm between your thighs
You blow me away

Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you
I'll sit on your face and then I'll love you truly
Life can be fine if we both sixty-nine
If we sit on our faces in all sorts of places
And play, 'til we're blown away
