EEEk this is my first time (as you may have guessed from my title) so any advice or constructive critisism will be extrememly gratefully recieved.

I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing yet so a good start would be to introduce myself to you - world. MY name can be Waffler (for now). I'm a 33 yr old lady from the Uk. I'm married with one teenage son and am studying for the final year of my degree in business IT. My son is at that 'kevin' stage where everything is an effort for him and his prefered language is that of grunting, huffing and sighing. I suspect that subsequent blogs of mine might refer to my little darling and his teen exploits as they're such a big part of my life at the moment.

My husband is Iranian,a race I knew nothing about until 3 years ago but now have more than reasonable understanding of. Iranian culture is one of the secret treasures of the world.I've also been making efforts to learn his mother tongue - Farsi. Its going ok, but I'm a little shy practicing outside my circle of close people so am probably not progressing as much as I'd like.

I think that will be all for the moment. I have some work to do & I want to start dinner before my boys get home.
