A little introduction....

Well I figured this is the polite thing to do....quite a shocker for me a mere gobby girl. Well here goes *deep breath* I am Helen, I am an ex Hayes (Middlesex) girl, ex Swakeleys girls school girlie and well there are two explanations of why I am a gobby girl the other I guess is I always tend to have something to say or an opinion on lots of things. I am sure as time and blog goes on you will understand what I mean.

I am 38, in a mild to moderate panic about being 40 sooner rather than later and in a moderate to severe panic I have not yet found the fame that I craved as a school girl. However as an outsized curvy girlie with average to poor looks and being a mum and and a travel agent for Travel Republic I really do not see how it will ever happen.

Without that happening my dream to live in New York or in the very least own a gorgeous Park Lane luxury appartment slip away each year...so if anyone out there wishes to donate to me said luxury NYC appartment (it really does not even have to be in Park Lane I am not fussy) then all donations shall be eternally greatfully received :)

I am desperately in love with my Prince Charming, Roger. He is in a moderate to severe panic about 40 (he hits it in a few weeks time a year ahead of me) but he is coping ok with this so far! I am in the sidelines with the paper bag ready for some hyperventilating in a week or so.

I call him my Prince Charming because he came along on the mythical white horse and swept me off my feet a few years ago.

I am a Mum to five gorgeous (if at times also gobby) children. Natalie is 21, Taylor is 16, Jordan is 14, Jennifer is 7 and Julian is our baby :) I shall introduce them another time.

I love crafts, love Bugaboo prams and am very proud of our limited edition all black cameleon bugaboo (bit of a pram freak) and also Paul Frank (Julian must have nightmares about monkeys coming to get him). I also love to shop, love to laugh and most importantly love being in love :)

so this is me, I may seem simple enough (too much some may say) but I really am a complicated little pickle....as you will see :)
