I'm female, 31, single but starting to tentavely look again, I was in my last relationship for almost 8 years but in all honesty it should have ended after 5, still live with my parents due to crippling debts (which i am now nearly clear of) and the inability to agree with my ex where we should get a place (i am a snob... so be it)

I am 5ft 2 1/2 and let say cuddly. I don't have many friends but those i do have i would kill for and my biggest regret is we are scattered all over the world. I am from a wee town called Elgin originally but moved to New Zealand when i was 5 and when we came back to scotland we settled in Aberdeen with a 3 year stint in South America.

I graduated in publishing but couldn't get a job in that industry. I work in a bookings department for a survival training centre and love it, mostly cause it got my out of a job that made me cry daily. I have to many hobbies and never enough time to do each as often or for as long as i would like.

I have big plans i never seem to follow through (am told i take after my aunt that way) I passed my driving test last November and love my little Clio.
