| I used to change the way I acted with different groups of people. Over the years I really lost who I was, perhaps never did know who I was, but over the past 3-4 years I've gradually become more comfortable with who I am.

| People eating noisily, crisp and sweet packets rustling and certain car alarms. Oh and my children's damn poxy space hoppers. My daughter and son love them because they help release energy/stun especially if it's too wet for the trampoline |
