Teach, Learn, Share

Now because I have been getting a very high volume of requests I would like to know that you have looked over my profile before messaging me...so please address your message or request to myself and Squiggles, our resident dog, so I know you have read through. :) And I also require you to have some references if I am going to offer my couch...if you dont have any yet, lets meet for coffee or a drink and I will give you a reference.
