Hi there, I'm Karen. I live in Preston and work in Blackpool (for the Council). I'm 41 (just), am single and contentedly live alone (apart from my cat), and although I enjoy the company of my friends I'd like to meet someone who I can share my interests with and maybe become close with. I love watching footie (am a steward at PNE), and play badminton cos it's fun and a bit of exercise rolled into one. I like going to pubs, to the cinema, for meals, watching dvd's and listening to various music (though 80's is my favourite music era). My friends say I'm attractive, though they would wouldn't they? I'm honest, sociable, affectionate and love having a laugh. Are you those things too? My dislikes are - lies, arrogance, and the fact that I haven't managed to stop smoking yet!
