Hi there!

My name is Simon Trethewey and I am 28 years old (getting on for 30!) and I live in Plymouth, Devon. I have lived in my current address for about 18 months now as my wife, Kelly, and I managed to buy our first house just before the recession hit. Don't know how we managed to live in a flat as the freedom that we have with our own property is amazing. The landlord in our last flat was a nightmare and absolutely useless, which probably didn't help!

We are now proud parents of a little boy called 'Ben' and more information can be found at his babyblog. He was born on the 1st October 2008, weighing in at 7 pounds and 4 ounces with dark hair. So he is now over 9 months old and we have no idea where the time has gone. He seems to have gone from being a little baby to a cheeky, noisy little chap in a flash! He is always on the go and is never quiet as he is trying to talk all the time now, well, shout and scream more like. Obviously, everyone in the family adores him! ;0)

Well, back to me again now!

I am currently working for a web design and programming company called 'ICO3 Ltd' where I am a bit of an all-rounder. My work includes dabbling in web design, programming, online marketing, website optimisation and a bit of admin work. I joined the company in November 2006 so have been there for nearly 3 years now, and hope to stay for much longer.

Before this job I worked both in Sales and in Purchasing for a company called 'Grey Matter' who are a software reseller. I had been looking for a job in web design and programming since I completed a degree at Plymouth Universty in Multimedia, Production and Technology in 2003. I got a 2.1 mark for this which I was very pleased about as for the last year and a half of the course, I was suffering from Glandular Fever and working part time at the Royal Mail Data Entry Centre every evening. Thankfully, I am over that now!

Hobbie-wise, I enjoy playing and watching Football (who doesn't!) and I used to play 5-a-side on Tuesday evenings in Paignton until petrol prices hit the roof and I damaged my ankle. I have been to the Doctor's and had X-Rays on it and they seem to think nothing is wrong, so where does the aching and the sudden sharp pains come from every now and again when I put my foot down wrong? Must be imagining it of course! ;0) Everton are my team as they are the best in the world. Need I say more!! COYB!!

I also very much enjoy other sport such as Snooker, Pool, Darts and Badminton. Apart from sport, I am usually found on the computer either playing games or working on my various websites, watching movies and spending time with my wife, or having my head stuck in a book. I am currently hooked on the series of books called 'The Dresden Files' by Jim Butcher which I would highly recommend! Am waiting for my birthday to get the 10th book in the series, so am looking forward to that!

My favourite TV shows include Babylon 5, Lost, Supernatural, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Friends, Alias, Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, Two and a Half Men and of course, anything to do with Football.

Favourite all time films are Aliens, Scary Movie, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Back to the Future Trilogy, Pitch Black, The Matrix and, the best of the bunch, the Star Wars Films. (There are so many that I love that I can't think of them all whilst typing this! lol)

Well, I think I will sign off here as this page is getting a bit long-winded, so enjoy the rest of the site!

Cheers,

Si
