About Me

I'm epileptic and partially disabled with spina bifida so it's fairly important I maintain a healthy weight. I used to be a health 9.5 stone but suddenly put a stone on when I turned 40. I'm now 10 stone 10 pounds. It would be good to lose those 10 pounds. The temperal lobe epilepsy is something I've had since having hydrocephalus at birth and menengitis at the age of four. I've been subjected to subtle psychological bullying for the past several years so I've joined the Physical and Emotional Abuse group - it's taken me a while to find the most suitable one.

Interests

I've been a member of Phab - a charity that integrates the disabled and able-bodies - for 20+ years. I was thinking of leaving at one stage but had my arm twisted to stay. I'm also a regular church attender. I've been going to an ecumenical church for 12 years now. On the music front, my two main favourites are Abba and The Carpenters. I'm also a fan of The Three Degrees to a lesser exent. Since getting the Computer, the internet takes up quite a bit of my spare time. I have a slight interest in trains - I've travelled from England to Austria in the past. I've also travelled on the Eurostar - quite an experience. I like visiting cathedrals - I've visited 14+ to date. It marvels me, to think of the devotion people had hundreds of years ago. I lost my job due to redundancy recently so I've started doing voluntary work for the British Heart Foundation, working in one of their shops. I think that just about covers it but I'll add more if I think of anything.
