Well Hello!

Well hello everyone,

This may be a very dull and dreary opening to a blog. It is my first real stab at a personal log of any sort since, (what is now) a very embarrassing teenage diary. The A4 notepad that I wept over many a time between the ages of 14 and 17 was burnt in a ritual bonfire many moons ago. Some may think the destruction of personal history to be a bad thing. That some day I shall regret wiping out my teenage thoughts a feelings, but trust me I remember the sentences that matter and would rather that no one else ever does.

Anyway, I waffle, what would you like to know about me? It's very hard to know what should be written about on the Internet and what should be left behind closed doors, but here goes nothing. My name is Anna. I am currently 29 and mother to two gorgeous little girls. P is six. She is a little tomboy, very creative and always asking questions I don't have the answers to. S is four. She is a little princess, who loves pink and getting everybody's attention. I plan to marry their Dad J on the 28th December this year. Wedding plans in full swing. Fingers crossed it all goes to plan.

We all live near Liverpool, England and have a gorgeous dog, who is very much looking forward to the girls going back to school so that she can have a rest from them and more attention from me.

So, the next few months are going to be my first with both children in school. I have a wedding to plan, and more dramatically the rest of my life. I need and want a career. I have the issue that is has to fit around my children (they come first) and my partner's job, which involves long irregular hours and many trips away. Not an easy spot to fill, but I know many women do it, so I know that I will find something. I love to write, bake, read, knit (Oh wow I sound a lot older than I am!). I watch too much TV. Normally dramas and sitcoms. Currently watching Torchwood, Dr Who, Eureka, Warehouse 13 and Breaking Bad, Miranda, and True Blood. I watch most of these whilst ironing, which helps with the guilt!

I am currently reading Wannabe a Writer? by Jane Wenham-Jones. Hopefully that book should inspire a bit more imagination and inspiration towards my writing ambition.

I hope that someone reads this...anyone? If you do, please please leave a comment, even if it's just to acknowledge you've read it. I am new to this, but would rather not talk to myself!

I look forward to getting to know you all.

Anna
