This is Mandy Tonks' personal web site.
I'm in my mid-thirties and live in Warwickshire, England.
I have been housebound with M.E. for many years but have taken an Open University degree in that time as well as teaching myself about the internet, web design and programming; painting, cardmaking and papercrafts. I read a lot, write, develop web sites, make greetings cards and more.
I've found the internet to be a lifeline, offering me access to the outside world even when the M.E. is at its worst. I use it for information and entertainment, to browse and shop, and to keep in touch with family and friends.
