Thanks HD

I'm Lynne, I have been overweight most of my life but it hasn't ever really held me back from doing anything.
I have a 36 year old daughter. Have had and disposed of lol, two husbands. Don't have a partner at the moment and dont think I will again.
I have a gorgeous dog who is my saviour. He helped me get better from breast cancer, which I have had twice and now beaten!
I don't work but in the past have worked hard and long as you do, in all sorts of different administration roles, from reception to PA to 6 directors. Loved doing payroll for over 150 employees at one stage both on comp and manually. I liked the interaction with people.
I'm gregarious and like talking to people but dont like meeting people for the first time incase they pre-judge me for being overweight. I dont believe it is anybody elses business but do find it annoying if I am judged by my body.
I love to garden and am out in it in all weathers 'mucking about' My favourite kind of music is both old and new R & B. I like Duffy, silly Amy winehouse, I like sexy smoochy music. I like Sean Pauls voice. I like shakera, that kind of stuff.
Favourite tv progs are, garden progs, time team type stuff, crime and punishment things, and documentaries.
I spend three days a week looking after my elderly parents, mum is really bad with osteoperosis and dad is blind and deaf, so they are a handfull!!!
I think this site is ace and think the people on it are what make it ACE!!!
