About Me

View From My Garden

Updated 4th June 2009

There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spiders silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic.

Hi I'm a sahm to 6 and live in the Uk, I also have my Grand Daughter living with me so we have quite a house fulll lol. My children age aged from 24 to 7 year old twin boys. Only my four youngest live at home. I also have 2 grandchildren aged 6 and 5. I used to work as a Dental Nurse but am currently waiting to start back at school studying Computer Forensics, Human Biology, Math, English and Psychology. In the hope of one day becoming a lawyer or going into Nursing/Forensic Psychology.

I just started work full time as a Pharmacy Dispenser. I've been there 3 weeks now, it's hard work but great fun. It's also just a few minutes walk away which is even better. It means more studying but I don't mind lol.

I live in a small village in rural Northumberland about three miles from where the Harry Potter movies were made, it's very pretty and quiet and I can see the ocean from my back garden (see piccy above)

I have lots of hobbies including Pen palling, Journalling, reading, swimming, swapping, reading, walking, cooking, watching movies and socialising with friends and family.

Favorite Television

I tend to watch programmes such as C.S.I, N.C.S.I, Law and order, Medium, Ghostwhisperer, Cookery shows, Home Improvement shows, 70s and 80s re-runs, Kath and Kim, Taggart, Dr Who, Torchwood.

Favorite Books

I don't really have a favourite type of book I generally just read whatever catchs my eye. I do like to read Jodi Picoult's books, or thriller's that make you think. I'm currently reading 'Tales From The East End' by Jennifer Worth.

I don't like horror stories or soppy love stories.

I've read all 5 books in the 'Twilight' Series by Stephanie Myer

Comment: Marked sent March 20, 2009. On March 25th I received an email that said the package would be sent by that Friday (March 27th). At no point was this marked as "unsent." I understand life happens, as explained, your daughter was ill. It's now June 11th, and I have not yet received the package. June 3rd, '09 I sent an email, and received a response saying the package had been sent, but that she would send another. I will gladly change the rating once the package has arrived. 08/06/09: Have not received anything, not even an email about the package, it's where abouts or if I'd receive one.

Lame she's been flaking on swaps-- should have know to post this sooner but I gave her the benefit of the doubt: I had a partner flake on her Winter Journal swap, she said she would Angel for me..months go by...no journal-- ask her about it, says she's busy. As an angel, I am very patient. Almost a year later...still waiting! I think I got flaked on a FLAKE! Impressive.

StaceyRme on Jul 13, 2009:

I am really disappointed that you never followed through with me. You said you would send something again and blammed your husband for getting the package out late. That means it should still have been sent! Its been 3 months and I haven't gotten anything!!!

DecoPalace on Jun 25, 2009:

Hi i was just wondering if you ever did manage to send out the Knowledge Journal? I know there was a mix up about sending with your husband but Ellie still hasn't received and you have it since Feb. Sorry to keep on about it but would just like to know if you have sent it on. Louise x

Hi there, just letting you know that I sent your package for "I Love Books And Lists Round 2" today, via International Priority Mail. I think it will take about 2 weeks to reach you. XO libraryshark (Heather)
