I haven't flown the Tiger Moth yet, but I really want to. If I had been born an able-bodied man, I would have wanted to be a pilot. I can't wait to get up there. But I can't afford the lessons, either, so I figured maybe on my 30th birthday
You like Van Gogh too? The man's a genius. I've got a massive reproduction of his 1888 'Sunflowers' in my hall and a slightly smaller one of 'Vase Avec Roses'. There's another one he did too, that looks like the inside of a Greek house, but I can't think what it's called. I would like to find that and buy it.

Anne Franks house brought tears to my eyes. There was still 1940's magazine clippings stuck to her bedroom wall. I just welled up, I felt so humbled. I went there in 2001 with Andy and the kids.
Since the split up, my work declined quite a lot so it's only part time now, and so are the books sales. I struggle financially and am topped up by benefits. I am on a scheme at the moment, trying to re-build the business.
The books I write when dd is watching children's TV, in bed or when she's at her dads. The college is when Andy has her or if my friend babysits as it's an open centre so you go when you want.
The egg donation doesn't take up too much time, it's an afternoon gone here and there - although it will take up a week of my time once they get near to operation date.
Toddler groups I go to with dd are on 3 times a week, and I fit the grocery shopping in then too
I have more time on my hands without the others. I would actually rather have less hobbies and more time with my family.
