My name is Tracy and I live in a small fishing town in the North East of Scotland with my husband, 2 daughters (15 and 12) and 2 cats called Merlin and Sonny. We moved to a larger house with a bigger garden a couple of years ago and since then I have been growing my own veg. in the summer months. I work at one of the local Primary schools as a Teaching Assistant and I have been employed there for nearly 9 years. I am also a Boys Brigade officer in the Anchor Boy Section (5 - 8 yr olds) and have been doing this for over 20 years.
Since I was a teenager in the 80's I guess I still love all 80's stuff (sad eh??). I was brought up with country music as a kid (even sadder??!!) so I still have a soft spot for older country artists. Mostly I listen to rock and soft metal, Bon Jovi, Brian Adams, Robbie Williams Swing Album and just now my favourite album is by Nightwish, although my daughters have influenced me and I enjoy listening to Taylor Swift and Jordin Sparks.
I don't read as much as I used to (just don't seem to have the time. The last books I read were the Stephanie Meyers - Twilight series which I absolutely loved.
I love loads of films Twilight, Harry Potter, Bridget Jones, American Pie, The Lord of the Rings trilogy (Mmmm Aragorn), Meet the Parents/Fockers, Something about Mary, Goodfellas, Titanic, the Alien series, Pirates of the Caribbean (Mmmm Johnny Depp AND Orlando Bloom), Dirty Dancing, Top Gun, Dirty Dancing, The Breakfast Club, St Elmos Fire, The Lost Boys, Grease, Hairspray - the list goes on and on.
Haven't been watching too much British TV lately as a friend of ours let me borrow the boxed sets (4 series) of Prison Break so the whole family has been pretty obsessed. Wentworth Miller is a babe!!!!
Iona is our eldest daughter. She is obsessed with Robert Pattinson and Wentworth Miller and has pictures, quotes and general STUFF all over her room. She is very focussed in all she does and her motto is - "Life is a competition - win it" (Nothing to do with me I hasten to add). She loves books and suffers from OCD when it comes to them. She swims in the swimming team and loves all things physical (she won the P.E. prize at school last year). She loves singing, is a real drama queen, can't be seen out without make-up and loves shoes and handbags.
Isla is a bit of a tomboy. She loves all things animal and loves nature. Life is NEVER a competition with her. She is easy come, easy go and is very untidy (Grrrr!!!) She loves drawing and plays the piano. She swims too but would rather play the nintendo or Wii. Isla wants to work with animals and generally save the world. She does not like make-up although she is getting more interested in fashion since starting Secondary School.
I love crafting - Scrapbooking, ATC's and Mini books. I enjoying drawing and watercolour painting although I have to be in the "mood" or it just ends up all wrong. Me and the girls love going to the theatre and try to go at least a couple of times a year (if it weren't so expensive we would go more). Mal (my hubby) always treats me to a weekend away in an expensive, fine dining hotel on our anniversary. I love going GEOCACHING although I seem to spend more time in my veg patch and decorating the house at the moment.
