Hello... eek! im new
Ok umm where to start...depends what you want to know i guess
im a short (yay) 30 year old female, mum to one. Living in the south-west, somewhere near sunny old Plymouth.
I got my Poi in the post last week, my bloke sent em over from oz aww..yes im mad letting him travel the globe on his own lol.

it cant all be bruises and getting my arms in a twist! Id like to start with the fire but hey, i dont think thats safe for a beginner right? 
What do i like? hmm...Mad on arty farty stuff, my camera goes with me when i remember, me scatty nah, never.
I like to sew, draw, make things blah blah... but i rarely get the time, busy doing mum stuff, work stuff, altho many wouldnt call my work, work.
top secret stuff that.
I may like faeries, and i spend way too much time on the net or in Photoshop creating, Oh dont forget tattoos and motorbikes, big noisey ones *daydreams* got to do a bit of drooling over them, mmm!!
Id rather be out than in, beautiful views, trees and green, the sound of birds, water and sand (but not dried on my toes lol grim that)ahhhh but yea got to remember the bikes....
So yea, im going to get good at Poi, and stop looking like a seagull trying to take off.
Did i mention i waffel lol.
*off to daydream*

Hello there. Have you discovered flags yet. if you like to sew and poi there is a world of new material to go buy
Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?
Im in a lonely battle with the world with a fish to match the chip on my shoulder. Gnu in Binnu in a cnu
