I do love music and listen to music every day.

I sing in the shower, but I think that is where my singing should stay!

Love almost all kinds of music, depends on my mood. But in my favourite list are songs from; Ray Charles & Nina Simone.

I really hate football and everything that comes with it. I think it is a waste of money, that could be well spent somewhere else.

I have told people I have 4 fluffy kids (cats). I'll give the snake one a go next time! :wah:

To be honest, I didn't expect so many supportive replies.

There must be more to life than marriage, being a baby making machine and then becoming a wrinkle saurus ( = very old person :wah: ).

And i'm going to find out :wah:
