Hi

I am 32, female, married and am a teacher of German and Spanish to 11 - 18 year olds. Love the teaching but hate the rest of the job. Too much stress. I used to teach French too and can speak a smidgeon of Italian, and Greek. I'm trying to learn Polish but not getting very hard and want to learn Latin.

My name is mightsurvive which sounds very defeatist but its not quite what it seems. I have still to decide whether it is me who will survive or whether i will let my abuser survive or not. Maybe i will come round to the idea one day that i will allow both of us to survive.

I have lived all over - Kuwait, Qatar, Spain, Germany and UK. I also consider Crete as my second home.

I love the sun, cats, researching my family history, travelling, scrapbooking, gardening and retail therapy but dont often have the ability to do these hobbies. For the last year and a half we have been reconstructing our house - virtually every wall has been moved. But now is the fun bit where i can spend any money i have on decoration, buying furniture and all the bits and pieces you need to make a house feel like home.
