hey everyone, I am Helen and am 23yrs old. I would like to think I am a happy bubbly friendly kind of person, but hey I'll let you make up your own minds.

Well I was hoping not to have to do this, but some people just don't get it! So..... I will NOT accept friend requests if we've not even said a friendly hello!! I am in avery happy loving relationship​, so don't want any flirty messages. Other than that I am looking for long term friendships with outgoing friendly people who can hold a good conversation​ and can ramble on, as I am an expert at it! I don't really have a specific age, but don't think i'll have much in common with anyone younger than 18, or anyone much older than 40/50ish. I have been penpalling on and off for most of my life, and am really enjoying getting back into again, so looking forward to hearing from some of you great people out there :-)

I love;
Music
Shopping
Eating out
Films
Taking photos
Playing my nintendo DS and Wii
Theme Parks
Nights in relaxing
Holidays
Surfing the net
Writing letters
Cooking
