    Hi all!

    Just thought I would introduce myself. When I was six years old and all the girls in my class told the teacher they wanted to be a vet and all the boys said they wanted to be a policeman/soldier, I said I wanted to be a writer. A good 27 years later (oh my god, how old am I?!) and I am finally writing!

    I absolutely love my job and can't get enough of it. I wish I had found this before. I know it can be lonely not working from an office, but to me it has meant meeting very interesting new people from all over the world and most of all, it allows me to spend time with my son, taking him to and from school every day and spending time within during the holidays. It is a great improvement to letting him bond more with his childminder than with me!

    Also, I used to work for the local goverment, children's services to be exact, and as a political activist (did I mention that?), I was perhaps not really in the best position. Fighting the system from the inside doesn't work and in fact only leads to frustrations.

    So yeah, glad to be here, hope to get to know some of you!
