Hi There,

I live in the North of England and am a 34 year old busy singleton! I am a bit of a nightowl and discovered this site by chance a year or so ago and have been popping in and out ever since, answering questions whenever I think I can help in some way!

Im pretty open minded, a big fan of Bob Dylan, Bill Hicks and Eddie Izzard which gives you an idea of my outlook on life!

Ive had my fair share of romance happiness and heartache and would love to be thinner but am pretty happy and grounded on the whole and hope to advise and help wherever I can.

Love Twirly xx
