Hi I'm a sahm to 6 and live in the Uk. My children age aged from 24 to 6 year old twin boys. Only my four youngest live at home. I also have 2 grandchildren aged 5 and 4. 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 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.

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

I collect Maps of different places around the world, postcards, recipes, journals, keychains, bookmarks, and cookbooks.

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

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'No time for goodbye' by Linwood Barclay. I don't like horror stories or soppy love stories.

I've just started reading the 'Twilight' Series by Stephanie Myer
