About this Member

UPDATE - thanks to all who are still reading my reviews, even though I haven't written any for a few months. The reason for that is that I have moved to France - not sure how long for, at the moment. I won't be able to write for Dooyoo UK while I'm here, and, although my French is good enough conversationally, I'm not confident enough to write for Dooyoo France!

Good luck to all of you!

Hi everyone. First of all, I want to thank all those who nominated me - I received my first crown yesterday! Thanks also to everyone who reads, rates and comments on my reviews.

I've been reviewing on DooYoo since August last year and really enjoy it. The community 'feel' is great. I am trying really hard to keep up with the ratings; there are some great reviewers on here and some of the crowned reviews are brilliant.

I live in 'sunny' Hampshire and work from home doing my own freelance work as well as helping on the admin side in my husband's self-employed business. I am a trained legal secretary and also a trained dental nurse, which was my last job. I left to work for myself (life in a busy NHS dental practice these days is very stressful!) but regularly return to cover for ex-colleagues who are on holiday or away from work due to illness.

I am married with two grown-up sons, one grandson (aged 8) and one granddaughter (aged 5). We have a very old property in south-west France which, for the past three years, we have been slowly but surely renovating as a holiday home for now, but with a view to eventually retiring to in the future. We try and go back there about three times a year, work and home commitments permitting.

I love reading and writing so DooYoo is right up my street. It's a great site and I am so glad I found it, not just for the chance to review, but to read up about products before I buy. I have also bought several things that I didn't know existed until I read about them in a review on here. The information you DooYooers provide is invaluable and must help prevent many people from making expensive mistakes!
