I am a primary teacher working part-time. I have three children, two boys (12 & 5) and a daughter who is 9. I love to surf the net looking at new ideas for the home. I have started my own blog which I'm trying to work out a theme for. I love to make costumes for my children for halloween, world book day etc. We have just moved house and I'm determined to start gardening this year. We have a lovely mature garden with a pond and frogs which will need looking after come spring. My pride and joy at the moment are my two orchids which i have managed to get to flower for a second time. i have no idea how, as I'm renowned for killing all things green in our home through neglect. Maybe that's the secret!

Moulin Rouge, Evita, Love Actually, Thomas Crown Affair, I loved the West Wing when it was on, and would try and catch Deperate Housewives if I can. I love Relocation Relocation and Grand Designs on Channel 4 in the UK. I'm looking forward to the series Glee which starts this month in the UK.
