BioThe random doings and musings of a 37 year old who has vague aspirations to be a domestic goddess but really needs a few more hours in the day to fit in the tidying required….
The way I use this journal tends to change according to my mood - sometimes it's a diary of day-to-day life, sometimes it's a place to whine, and other times it's more of a scrapbook of anything I feel like posting. I post quite a lot of photos, usually under a cut to save people's friends pages, although I will often go back and remove the cuts later, on the off chance that anyone wants to browse back through the journal.
I collect children’s books, especially Chalet School and Abbey Girls, and finance my existence by selling books, and (more reliably) by working as an admin assistant for the local Council. Which means I know more than I really need to about old people.
I started knitting again in January 2006, and am now completely addicted. In an attempt not to bore non-knitters too much, I've set up a separate knitting journal, at![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
minniemollknits. Feel free to friend that journal or this one should you wish to do so!
Oh, and I’m owned by two cats, Minnie and Mollie, hence – well, I’m sure you can work it out :)
All the photos in my galleries and userpics were taken by me. Please don't use them without asking me first.
