About Me

My name is Michelle, I am 29 years old and a teacher from England! I absolutely love my job and like to think that I do it well!

I have just moved away from the place that I grew up in so I am looking to meet new people! I now live in a small town with my boyfriend and our cat!

Througout my life, I was always scared of cats and dogs. Now I really love my cat, so much so that we foster cats for a local charity until we find them a new home! It's so sweet and it's lovely knowing that you have done a little bit of good in the world! Fostering is so rewarding and basically means loving and caring for an unwanted or abandoned cats. It breaks my heart when some of the cats arrive in a state but the satisfaction of turning their lives around is amazing!

I have recently learnt how to scuba dive when I was on holiday in Thailand - you simply can't beat it, although I'm willing to find something that does! I really enjoy travelling lots! It's my ambition to visit every country in the world!

I started a blog! After doing a swap on here someone suggested that it would be a good idea to start one! It's only just begun so I haven't put very much on there yet! I've put a link above so you can check out my creations if you like!

Favorite Music

I enjoy a variety of music, however, only really listen to it when I am driving! My radio is usually tuned into Kiss FM!

My I pod, although slightly neglected, is jam packed with a load of random tunes ranging from the Spice Girls to Prince!

Favorite Books

Recently, I have started to read properly again! I must admit, I do like reading books that gets the pulse racing, so if you have any recommendations, I would be happy to hear from you!!!

I've never been able to read the same book more than once, having said that, I have read 'The Curious Incident of the Dog at Midnight' for the second time. Such a fascinating read!

Favorite Movies

I'm quite often flicking through the offerings on Love Film. I like films that are so scary it's funny! The Hostel films are just too funny! I don't like films that get the imagination going; Paranormal Activity had to be turned off! I do think that my imagination is better than the film sometimes!!!!

Favorite Crafts

I'm am avid crafter. I love knitting, particularly knitted characters! If you ever fancy swapping knitted creations, I would always be happy to do so! I am currently knitting a Cinderella tospy turvey doll! She is incredible (if I do say so myself!).

Recently, I have started cross stitching, however this is taking me longer than I ever expected! It is coming on slowly and I have enjoyed being more creative! I'm quite lucky as my boyfriend will often draw my charts for me which makes my creations even more unique, having said that, I never know what to do with the finished articles ... any advice would be awesome!!!!

My friend has taught me how to do beading, which I am really enjoying. I have got to attach more thread now, so I'm slightly scared of doing it wrong!!!! The finished articles are fantastic though! I've put a link to the website I use above!

I also enjoy getting out in the garden. We do have a vegetable patch in the bottom of the garden, however, I've not been very successful this year!!!

Likes

I am quite open to any new experiences but I know that I like: * sleeping in * spending time with my friends * cats * crafts (knitting, cross stitch, beading) so swapping patterns and supplies would be nice! • nice writing paper * writing long letters * things in the right order • travelling related things / items from different cultures

Dislike

Well this is easy!!!

  • celebritiy anything - magazines / programmes / fashion / gossip etc
  • size zero
  • soaps (I don't mean the ones you clean with!) Eastenders and Corrie = yuck!
  • empathy when people clearly have no clue!!!
  • incompetence
  • coffee
  • junk • any thing like 'Hello Kitty' • I don't have any allergies but I am trying to be healthier so no calorific foods (unless it's part of the swap of course!)

Wish list

  • crafting supplies ( knitting, cross stitch, beading)
  • patterns
  • pretty yet grown up hair accessories
  • things I can use in my classroom (I'm looking for fun 'well done' or 'target achieved' stamps)
  • anything handmade
  • letter writing sets
  • something to store knitting needles / yarns in
  • nice pens (fountain pen would be lovely)

Thanks but no thanks

  • felt stickers
  • teas
  • out of date items
  • anything linked to my 'dislikes'!

I also aimed high because you may surprise yourself how many you can achieve when you put yourself to it right? look forward to hearing about future progress. And I'd be keen to see what chinese new year festivities look like in London
Response: So glad we sorted it :-) Chinese New Year in london was really bad :-( too many people and not enough entertainment!!! We ended up having lunch in garfunkles!! Anyway thanks again!

Comment: Thank you so much for your letter. It was interesting to read your thoughts about the book. I know the movie and liked it very much, but I am afraid, I will not read the book within the next time I would like to recommend "Andorra" by Peter Cameron and of course the detective novels by Peter Robinson

Michelle! Thanks so much for looking for the pens for me! Please let me know if you find them and I'll mail you a nice gift in return!

liptontee on Dec 3, 2012:

Hi Michelle this is Tee, the very lucky recipient of your Task a Day Journal #2! I was just wondering where did you get the glittery pens that you used inside the journal? They are lovely. Thank you so much for a wonderful journal, it was well worth the wait! Hope you are having a good week - Tee
