Looking for a friend to talk. Please read my profile first.

Finally a mother. I have a gorgeous 3 year old. (Wow he's 8 now lol) I love reading, science, watching films. I was a teacher. I love talking to people. I'm not interested in talking about rubbish. We all have our demons and I've been through a lot. This has shaped me and made me less willing to put up with banality. I'm not here to be scammed or for anyone to try to scam me. I can talk about anything but be aware I'm very opinionated :-) I will listen to your thoughts on a topic but I might have a vastly different opinion :-) I don't lie willingly and will always answer direct questions, so don't ask if you don't really want the honest answer. I'd like to find someone who will put me first occasionally. I want to feel loved. I'm not interested in another distance relationship so if you're not in the UK then don't bother trying to have one with me.
