Hi There,

Thanks got reading a bit more info about me!

So I'm currently in a relationship, it's still young and fresh - but if I can be honest it has "legs"

I was in a relationship with a toad for 14 years (everyone thought he was a toad, my head thought he was a toad, my heart thought he was prince charming) anyway after kissing a lot of frogs I may just have found my prince charming - if there is such a thing!

For those who love horoscopes, I'm a Scorpio with a Libra moon a fabous combination in my opinion, but then I would say that!

Everything about people fascinates me, Im always the one people turn to in a crisis (sometimes draining) and for so long I was tight lipped about my thoughts and feelings this place I find great as I can share those inner most thoughts and feelings and I've encourage you to do the same!

Nothing really qualifies me to give advise just that during my 34 years I've been through a fair bit, so it's all based on personal experience and comes straight from the heart.

Thank you for reading, thank you for answering my questions and hopefully something I write might help someone

So good for me to say that was me three months ago thigs change.... Suddenly single again will go into more detail soon xx
