Biography
As of 2009, I am a 36 year old lab scientist turned freelance copywriter trying to figure out what I'd like to do with my life. Obviously the career advice I had when I was a teenager was a load of bunkum as I keep turning 90 degrees and wandering off down a new pathway every few years. I have had lots of careers so far.
I live with my husband Martin in a small village in Northamptonshire. We met online in a chatroom in April 2004, and we've managed to accumulate three slightly psychotic and completely neurotic cats. Steel Kitten was my user name when I first started talking to Martin on the Internet and it's stuck. It's engraved on the inside of my wedding ring and every Valentine's Day a card to 'Steel Kitten' is left from 'Kartman' on the kitchen work surface.
I love my garden, especially growing my own fruit and veg, and the idea of self-sufficiency is enormously appealing. Until of course the day I have to get up at 5am and milk a cow and the idea probably won't look so shiny after all. One day we'll find a smallholding somewhere hot where I can raise a few pigs and Martin can fly his model planes from our own field.
