Progress ...
I've been working my backside off trying to decorate the boys' room, and I think I'm finally getting somewhere!

About Me
- Name: Melinda
- Location: Chesterfield, Derbyshire, United Kingdom
I just finished my third year and final year as a Law and Criminology student, and spend my spare time (what there is of it) following Formula One fanatically, reading books on Wicca and witchcraft, walking up and down hills for no other purpose than to say I did, and re-living my teen-age years by listening to very loud 80s rock music. I'm originally from Garland, Texas, USA and moved to England in 1997 with my four children who all seem to be as puddled as I am!
