Hi I'm a 40 something year old gay man, who has been happily in a long term monogomous relationship for 11 years.
Whilst my body may be that age the brain and soul inside it fluctates from being about age 10 to about my physical age - is this just a man thing?
Is it a sign of "shreik" getting old? Is the secret of staying young in your attitude or is it the moisturiser you use?
We used to live in London (it is just so damn expensive) but have now moved down to the Kent Coast. (See my journal below for an update)
In my spare time I enjoy cycling, keep fit, cooking, reading (mostly SFandF), computer games, building scale models and well just loads of things.
I work in the Insurance Industry as a Business Analyst, but seem to have drifted into that wierd land that is inhabited by large scale IT Projects. I have been on a 6 month secondment to our sister company in Brussels, Belgium working as an IT Testing Manager. then I worked as Business Transformation Manager and Training Manager on another large cross border IT project and now I am working as corporate Change Manager.
I have in my time, been a Performance Analyst doing a lot of VBA coding in Excel & Access, an Insurance Underwriter, Claims Inspector, Account Manager, worked as a gardener, a warehouseman, a barman, a cellarman, run a club & run a business with my boyfriend.
I am also one of the senior trade union reps (Amicus - formerly MSF and AEEU) in our UK company - a role I have carried out for 17 years now and am also involved in the European Works Council for the group as a whole.

Well its been some time since I popped in to say hello...
The house is slowly coming on - money is, as I knew you would guess, the big issue; too little for the amount of work we need to do. Couple that with the fact that work is hectic and I am struggling to contact tradesmen to come and give us estimates far less do the work.
To date we have 90% completed the kitchen (still trying to track down a supplier of worktop seal of the type and colour we want. 50% completed one of the bedrooms, the bathroom and cloackroom (need a new bath and the walls and ceilings skimmed).
The garden has been spruced up, replanted etc for next spring so at least one thing is finished.

House Saga
Aug 2, 2004
I see its been a long old time since I last let you know what was going on with the house.
Well...
Other than the finances being a complete nightmare, we have finished the kitchen and the cloackroom/seconf toilet, tidied up the garden, drylined all the stud walls and plastered all the party walls with a base coat.
Still heaps to do but nobody said it was going to be quick or easy.

house traumas continue
Apr 28, 2004
here we are May almost upon us and we only have half a kitchen - we are still waiting for the plumber to return and finish the work (connecting the new mains supply and new sink)before we can complete the cupboards etc.
Despite this we are still pressing on with the work - it just takes time and money - have the former but.................

more house stuff
Mar 23, 2004
here we are third week in march still no kitchen
got a week off in early April so should have a kitchen by the end of that - its the problem with doing all the work yourself - it takes bloody ages!
Anyway it does mean we have learnt how to plaster, how to make worksurfaces from scratch with real timber, how to build our own cupboards out of real wood (not MDF), etc. etc. etc.
