I'm 36 years old - is that really all it is? and work as the marketing manager at an Independent school in town which means I get all the school holidays off to be tortured by my kids. Daniel (10), who currently spends most of his time between the fridge and the freezer, and Terri (12 weeks). I'm unmarried to Rob and have been so for the past 7 years and we have just bought a weeny, weeny house in Colchester - but at least it has 3 bedrooms. A workroom??? I am so green with envy I'm vertually luminous. I've got a circular tub with compartments where I keep my eyes (well the ones I intend to put on my bears!) and a row of cardboard holders for my magazines -none in any order, and for me that's organised!! I'm a gemini so that'll have to be the reason. I've convinced most of my family that I like the just been burgled look of the lounge but plan to get it sorted by the time the kids leave home - do they ever go??????? I've been making bears, for about 5 years and have a website that urgently needs updating. well that's it for now, ominous smells call from the kitchen.
