CURRENT MISSION

To meet, greet and welcome people from all over the world

ABOUT ME

Mother of 3, and wife of one. Live in a large, drafty, cold, old school. It is fantastic, but bloody freezing! Live there with hubby Liam, and my two fab girls; Holly and Daisy and fairly recently acquired boy; Eben (and more than likely a mouse or two!!) - oh, not sure that is going to encourage anybody to stay with us...

PHILOSOPHY

Have silly fun...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Read about it in the Big Issue... great article. CS is very appealing. Mostly because I'd have love to have done this before having kids etc (not that I couldn't now but it wouldn't be as easy!). So next best thing is to meet folk from countries I'd like to go to, here! From the comfort of our own couch!! :D

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Done: Drove myself to hospital whilst in labour with my first born!

Seen: The Eiffel Tower light up at midnight for a few seconds... it was beautiful and seemed to be just for us (I know this isn't anything unusual, but it was just that whole 'timing' thing... it was cool)

Done: Race for Life in aid of Cancer Research UK - Glasgow Green, 10th June... raised more money than we thought we would - aimed for £150 and got £672!!. We fast walked the whole measly 5k, but it was fab as we'd never done anything like it before!

This year I ran 5k for Cancer Reasearch. I only took up running last September after doing NO exercise at all, ever, so rather proud of this achievement.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

That sounds great... just can't think of anything right now... want to know how to crochet?! lol
