Another newbie here!

Hi guys!

I'm Faye, I'm 20 years old and I'm currently living in Southampton whilst I study an English degree. My 'real' home is in Essex (feel free to make as many jokes as you like, I relish them!).

I've wanted a tortoise for years but I have been too busy studying to keep one as well and attentively as I would like. When I finish university this summer I will have much more free time, especially as my next career move is teacher training at a local secondary school. No long periods of time away from home, so 2013 will be the year I finally get my tort

))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) <- that's how excited I am! I am thinking of getting a Hermann and calling him Plod.

I thought I'd join SW (great site, by the way) to educate myself and make sure I prepare properly for a few months before I finally get a tortoise around June or July.

Thanks guys!
