Other information that might be helpful - I would loved to have been a teacher but never made it. I now teach card workshops for my friends and also at our annual Craft Fair.

I wish I could win lotto so that I could help one of my dear friends pay off their house so that her husband can retire as he has 2 broken ankles that cause him a lot of pain. If I then had enough left I would build a little flat for our ex land lady. She is 95 and needs someone close to make sure she is ok. She is such a lovely person and still very much with it. My goodness what a ramble. I suppose you could say I ramble on when I get going.
