About me

Gender	Female
Introduction	Hello, I'm Carol. I'm a 55 year old woman living in Brentwood, Essex with Godfrey and our 4 cats. We've been together since 1976, and had planned to get old together. We're still hoping for that. I've had a rich and varied life so far, did a degree in Pure Maths many years ago. I found an old textbook recently, read the first paragraph and thought, blimey, I still understand it. Paragraph 2 started: "Thus it follows that..." and I was lost. Oh well. A career in NHS finance followed, with many high faluting job titles, much responsibility, late nights, stress, anxiety and ultimately a breakdown. Next, I worked as a care assistant at a hospital for adults with severe physical disability, then trained as an Alexander Technique teacher. Now I do the AT teaching and work part time as an accounts clerk for a local Accountant.
