Ive just updated my profile 18/11/09

Im a solo parent to 3 energetic boys. Oskar 7, Logan 4 and Otis 20 months. It certainly has its challenges and almost everyday I feel inadequate as a parent but im trying to do the best I can. I am a qualified Chef and work part time. Next year I hope to do something different and I may go back to school to further my education. Im not sure in what avenue yet though.

I really like reality tv , Survivor , Hells Kitchen , Biggest Loser all those kinds of shows.

Im just discovering my ' inner crafter ' As a rule I am not artistic and have never ever felt overly crafty. I have started to scrapbook....well lets just say I have enough papers to fill about 20 scrapbooks but I have only made 10 pages! I try to be a perfectionist....which certainly has its downfalls * I have just discovered I like doing off the page stuff! Album covers , xmas decorations and am finally finished with a picture clock. I have also had a crack at Dotee dolls....they werent very successful ( ugly as ugly). Im learning to hand sew and so far so good....I like making stuffies. I enjoy doing journalling too. Im a really big fan of lists. I always write a list of pros and cons about situations and usually end up ignoring my analysis anyway LOL

My all time favourite movie is Dirty Dancing because 'nobody puts baby in a corner'

I love the Star Wars & Harry potter movies AND Twilight!!! oh god I need to find my own Edward!!
