Since then I have got engaged, got married, enjoyed pregnancy (well, some of it!), achieved birth and now have a gorgeous one year-old son. I have also graduated with a degree, completed a discipleship course at church, worked in a call centre, as an admin assistant, teaching assistant, literacy specialist and proofreader.
