I was born in Scunthorpe (North Lincolnshire) on 26^th August 1971, I was given up for adoption straight away as my natural mother, due to family circumstances was unable to keep me.

 My home was to become a quiet little village in the middle of Lincolnshire called Mareham-le-Fen.  I went to the local primary school and then onto Gartree Secondary School in Coningsby.  At the age of about 8, I developed a passion for football, in particular Nottingham Forest.  My and my dad became season ticket holders and every other Saturday would make the 120 mile round trip to see our beloved “Forest” play.  Even now at the age of 33, still follow them, admittedly not attending as many matches as I would like to but still keep up to date with all the club news.

 I now live in Ireland, with my Fiancé Mark, who I met whilst working in Leicester – we were both contracting at the same company and struck up an incredible friendship, Mark is not only my fiancé, but my best friend and sole mate.  We both have no regrets about leaving the UK and moving to Ireland, even though we both have family still there, we are only a short 45minute flight away.  The Irish way of life is more relaxed and the people are so friendly.

I have now also signed up for Cryonics like Mark, I am quite fascinated in the subject.

We both love Ireland and whether we stop here or not, we are in the process of buying a house in Cork and a flat in Wexford.

Our new home will give us plenty of space and there is a possibility that I may take up breeding cats, my favourite breeds are Ragdolls and British Blues but we will have to see what happens.
