I moved back into Hull earlier this year and live with my husband, Chris, who I married 26th August 1999, and our two cats - Thribble and Kim, who are very mischevious and are in to anything and everything.

I am hardworking, self disciplined, patience, flexible and adaptable to new people and situations, and enjoy a challenge. I am able to work on my own or part of a team using my own initiative, respecting confidentiality at all times, and have strength and stamina in dealing with pressure.
