The number plate on my car reads 'BIPOLR', my house is full of embroidery thread, fabric and W.I.Ps (works in progress), generally completed cryptic crosswords and I tweet, facebook, google, blog and surf ( are they all official verbs now? Hmm just about sums me up that paragraph!Oh and I teach gifted kids once a week, mostly coz I was one... I was diagnosed with Manic Depression in 2004 after suffering from something for about 20 years.I am a mum first and foremost, then a teacher, then possibly a person! Oh and don't forget the crafter. That bit keeps me happy sane and safe! Crafting for health and well being!!!
