35, I do what my managers ask, data analysis, web management, warranties, etc, etc, for Corus.

So if anyone knows anyone who needs an IT literate individual who can do most things in Gloucestershire let me know.

I must be 54 because my birth certificate says I was born in 1955.

I'm a legal secretary, it pays the bills until I figure out what I want to do when I grow up.

Every now and then I have little holidays from secreting - I have worked on a cycling magazine, had my own mountainbike holiday company, organised races, minicabbed, (tried and failed to) sell vacuum cleaners, provided sound and lighting systems for raves (that was good fun).

Doing TESOL to I can fund my next escape from the keyboard.
