I am a newbie to this site. I live in SE9 and am a SEN Teaching Assistant. I would love to chat to anyone who needs a friend right now. I'm a brilliant listener, a mother to 2 teenage boys and enjoy listening to music, watching comedy, walking, swimming and am a charity shop addict!

Get in touch if you would like a new friend! Peace! ❤

    Hi Leanne

    Thank you for your message. I've had periods in my life when I haven't been able to work because of my health-they suck! I like to work and I like feeling on my 'A' game. I suffer from bulging discs in my lower back and have had these now for over ten years. The pain can often be so intense that even lying down can have no affect. It can drive me to distraction. 
    I too have two sons -one is 18 and the other is 16. They are both at home with me. The school I work in is closed to all but about 10 children of key workers or who are classed as vulnerable. They got on really well for the first 4 weeks but last Sunday had an arguement and have managed not to talk to each other for a whole week now!! I live in a 2 bedroom flat so that's no mean feat! They are very stubborn and despite my best efforts to get them to make up, neither wants to make the first move. Very annoying for me. 
    Your son sounds a very interesting chap with his musical background. Very commendable. 
    I have only been to the IofW once. It's a beautiful place. Do you have many friends and have you always lived there? 

    Jonquil xx

    I'm have problems with my breathing but maybe from my health condition my neurogest should be calling me next week fingers crossed she does need to have a long chat on a number of health issues at moment as my doctor can not help me.
