Libby Reid's Profile
Current job: Mostly a mum, but squeezing in some copywriting and translating in my free(?) time
Previous job: Teacher and Head of Modern Foreign Languages
Education: BA French with Russian; PGCE
Sports: Not enough.
Favourite films: Oh, heck, don't ask me. I never remember the names of the intellectual ones and it sounds soooo uneducated to say that I lurved Bridget Jones
Favourite books: I'm currently reading 'Death of a Red Heroine', which is great. So I'll say that.
Favourite music: I'm an 80's girl, and hence sooooo uncool. Consequently, I'm not willing to mention any names in this category.
Favourite foods: The sweet stuff. Chocolate, chocolate and, well, chocolate. And maybe the odd bit of chocolate.
Pet hates: People who talk negatively to their kids. I hate hearing people put their kids down without even realising that they are doing it.
Desert island/Antarctic luxury: I'd take nothing - I'd just enjoy having the peace and quiet for a while. Bliss!
