About me: I was born in Birmingham and left there when I was 13 because my parents had had enough of the place and wanted a fresh start down on the South Coast. Cue a major relocation to the New Forest, which is where I stayed until I was 27 and then made another huge move to Liverpool.
I am, and always will be, an Aston Villa supporter as it is still my 'home' team no matter where I live although I must confess to a soft spot for Liverpool as well.
After a couple of failed relationships, I finally met my soul mate through mutual friends - how uncanny that we share the same friends despite us living 250 miles apart when we first got together. We've been together since May 2003 and I have never known happiness like it or been so content and settled.
I got married to my wonderful husband Al on Valentines Day 2006, exactly one year after our engagement, and gave birth to my beautiful baby boy Wyatt in January 2007. The three of us live in our own home in Liverpool with our mad dog Buddy, a black lab/border collie cross whom we rescued from our local RSPCA shelter in November 2004.
I am currently on maternity leave and on the lookout for an evening job for when it runs out as I can't face putting my boy into childcare. It's that or hold out for a lottery or premium bond win!!
My son is so gorgeous and is the best thing to ever happen to me. Being a mum is all I have ever wanted and it is proving to be the most amazing thing in the world. There truly is no love like it.
Who I'd like to meet: Sally Morgan (star psychic); Kate Winslet (my birthdate twin); Kylie Minogue; England cricket and football players

Hiya my lovely! Great to hear from you! Im doing good thanks, although, it is a very horrible Monday with lots of rain and wind in my neck of the woods. I love the piccies of you and your boy that youve added too! xxx
The postie always comes at the worst times here too! We've even had him come at 7am once can you believe?! Let me know Wyatt goes at baby clinic tomorrow - what he weighs etc. Have a nice day too. The weather here is shocking. Another day trapped indoors :( Speak soon, love Karen x
Thank you Laurie! x Basically I've knotted muscle which is putting pressure on my spine and has caused it to curve slightly, which can catch on nerves. He seemed to suggest its down to pregnancy. I never had any back problems beforehand I got pregnant mind. He's recommend a boring book which contains exercise and advice. Failing that I can then have treatment. These little people eh? The trouble they cause :) All worth it though eh. Well Laurie, I am very very appreciative of your decision to sponsor me. Its really touched me! Bless you honestly. Its very scary that Ryan is nearly one. Once his birthday has been and gone it will soon be Christmas and then your gorgeous Wyatt will be celebrating his 1st birthday too. My eye is all closed up today and my throat is all itchy and sore. My legs feel much better though! Hope those videos arrive today. I've got the recorded delivery tracking number so I can check up on it if need be. Lots of love Karen x
Oh you dont need make-up. You're a natural beauty. I have no confidence without mine so where I go, my make-up has to follow. Its a great photo, so natural and makes me smile. x
Hey stranger, how are you!? Really hope all is well with you lot. Any news that I've missed? Would love to catch up properly as lots to talk about but I know that gorgeous boy of yours keeps you busy! Love lots xxx
Hey sweetheart! How are you! Got your MSN request today so have added you and hopefully we get to have a good old natter soon. Lots and lots to tell you, hope all is well with you and your boys, much love xxx
Hiya Hon,
Long time no speak! How are you and that lovely family of yours? Wyatt is a cutie, a real 'boys boy' - I love seeing new pics of him :)
Take care, Lo xx
Not as messy as it sounds now the initial crap has fallen through. More annoying now waiting to get it fixed. I don't like having a hole in my ceiling I'm convinced there's spiders in there just waiting to come out and scare the hell out of me lol.
Any weekend after Karen gets back is fine with us. Hopefully my arm wil be ok for lots of cuddling babies by then :D If this weekend would have still been ok I'd not have been in with a chance of a cuddle.
J and K might be coming if they can make it and bringing Will so a whole load of cuddling for me. I'll be in my element all these babies :) Paula is going to try and get up too. Anymore? lol
