If you look everywhere else on this site, you'll probably know me pretty well by the time you're done. However, for the sake of completeness....

I was was brought up in a village on the border of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire (where my parents and other family members still live).

My relationship with God began as soon as I realised that I didn't know God and that God wanted to know me. It continues to this day, with all of the ups and downs that are characteristic of, I think, every relationship. I will always be grateful that Jesus Christ made such a relationship possible.

Job-wise, I've played a variety of roles: cleaner, pizza deliverer, secretary, and some others. Now I'm a stay-at-home-mum.

I was married to 'Mr E' in April 1996 - one of my better decisions in life!

In August 2001 we left the UK to move to Australia. We now live in Brisbane, Queensland.

My time now is mainly spent doing things with T & H (which normally involves going out somewhere every day). I also clean, cook, shop, wash & iron. In my spare time, I read, write letters and e-mails (note for those who have been waiting TOO long for a reply: yes, I promise I will get to it soon!), do stuff on the computer, sell Avon, do cross-stitch and make some of our clothes.... and I can always find time for a coffee!
