I grew up in Swindon, with Wickford in Essex being somewhere in the middle, and I now make my home in Milton Keynes, Britain's newest town.

I'm an IT Support Technician at a local school, supporting students with severe autism and learning disabilities.

I'm a very likeable person, kind-hearted and generous but also strong enough not to be used.

Books

I have two treasured books. The first is none fictional but written with laugh out loud humour, sadly it's no longer in print it is called Accidental Empires by Robert X Cringely.

My second favourite book is a fictional one, The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf, the words are beautifully crafted together, the style of her writing is art in itself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting Donkeyboy (The band) in Norway and being on the radio and local newspaper after Cato gave me his first gold plate.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love psychology and can certainly help anyone who studying it to 'A' Level standard.

I can be a good cook

Cleaning - LOL I'm pretty good at homemade ecological cleaning. I can certainly show you how to clean without spending stupid amounts of money on commercial products. Homemade washing detergent is very good.
