About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take care of my baby girl.

ABOUT ME

Relaxed and laid back,i sometimes find it hard to get up.Just kidding i'm an early riser and i go to bed early unless there's a good game of football on telly.I try and take care of myself by exercising and living a healthy life,so i'm a bit fussy when it comes to food.(pescatarian)
I think i'm easy-going and i try to be optimistic about most things.
I'm English so i may complain and be sarcastic often.

WE'VE just OPENed a HOSTEL so you are welcome to come and stay here. First night by donation then PAY as a normal guest unless we like you a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life and be happy.Don't be too serious.
Being a good friend is very important.
The future is now live it!
Don't believe everything you read or hear,especially if in the end it comes down to money.

I read a very interesting book called "Natural cures and the things they don't want you to know" when i was in Canada,and it changed my eating habits for the better.
