*arj's profile:

I'm 46 years old, I have three kids 2 boys eldest 17, middle boy 15, and my daughter who I call a bonus baby is almost 4. They are the loves of my life, they drive me daft, they make me laugh and I'm proud to be their Mum. I live in Lancashire and have done all my life its not a bad place to be.

I don't have any special qualities to offer advice, just a lifetime of good and bad experience. I'm the friend people come to when they have a problem and need someone to listen. I was married for 11 years, it broke up amicably when it came to the end of it's life. I've been pretty much single for the last 9 years, there is a someone right now but its work in progress.

I'm broadminded and nothing much shocks me.I like to think I have a young outlook on life and enjoy almost all of what it throws my way. always hope I can help someone in need of a friendly ear.
