Hi, welcome to my page.

I'm a single parent by choice and loving every aspect of life. Ok, so you don't want to listen to yet another mother brag about how her child is the most perfect, most beautiful, best at everything child.  But it's what parents do, isn't it?  Ok, that's it now, I promise.

We are a vegetarian family, buying Fair Trade where available.  We're ovo-vegetarian but also picky about where the eggs come from.  No shop-bought eggs in this house!  Our car tyres unfortunately contain gelatine as there is no other option that I'm aware of, but our shoes are vegan, and surprisingly a good price and good value!  It's disheartening that there's just not really a way of being 100% ethical, as I need a car to get Miss 5 to and from school and myself to and from work.  It's too far to walk and wouldn't leave enough time without further reducing the current work times.

Favourite family movies:
Mulan
The Land Before Time
The Waterhorse
Loch Ness
Tiger Island series
Walking with Dinosaurs series
Palaeoworld series
Scooby Doo movies

*watch this space, she's joining a new sport in term 4 but we're not sure what yet*

Favourite books:
Anything by Mem Fox or Dr. Seuss, as well as a selection of other books aimed at children.  Currently have the book about Moon Bears on order, which sensitively addresses this topic in a way aimed at children.  Not everyone would agree that it's suitable, but I feel it is suitable considering the work we do that she participates in and helps out with.

Music:
Iron Maiden
Black Sabbath
Nirvana
Blink 182
The Offspring
System of a Down
Greenday
Simple Plan
Justine Clarke
Hi 5 (hahahahaha, it's funny when a CD is burned with Greenday's Holiday followed by Hi 5's Holiday!)

That pretty well sums us up!
