I am very independent though, and will always try to do things myself first. I can get quite anxious, especially when going to new places, but I really enjoy going to an arts and crafts group every Thursday. I also love upcycling and designing pieces of furniture for my husband and son to make. I am also trying to develop my computer skills and would like a PA to help with this.
