About this Member

Hi...I'm new-ish to dooyoo though I have written before for Qype and Ciao. I may pull some of my old reviews here but mostly I intend to write new ones. I welcome feedback as I would like to improve my review writing and make the review more useful to people.

On the personal front, I work full time as a technical writer for an IT company. I love reading, travelling, watching films, doing cross stitch and generally relaxing. Oh and I'm married to a chef. Which is why you will find me writing reviews of films, books, TV shows, food and drink items, restaurants, hotels etc.

I don't always have time to write on dooyoo but if you rate me, I will rate you back - it just might take a little while for me to get it done. Also, I don't churn out reviews but sometimes I may post 3 or 4 a day - it just means I've got some time on my hands - sadly not something that happens often. :)

Thanks for reading and have a nice day/ evening!


EDIT: Early December 2009 - just received my first Amazon voucher! Took less than 10 days to come through so thank you dooyoo. Bought Christmas books for my friends and had enough left over for one for me - which of course I will review as soon as I finish it! Thank you everyone for reading and rating.
