38F UK -Looking for a low maintenance online friend for random chats.

I'm posting this again for hopefully better luck the second time around. Ideally someone from the UK as I think it just makes things easier. Although my sleep pattern is very up in the air.

Hello (I can't believe I'm making this post)... Honestly, I'm just looking for a normal, respectful online friend to chat with and break up my daily routine. Ideally we can be friends in person as well, but that's a conversation for the distant future.

I'm 38 and live in the south of England (originally from Pakistan, moved when I was 16), and ideally would prefer someone in the UK too just so it's easier to chat due to time zones but also because like I mentioned before, about eventually being friends in real life.

I'll be the first to say, please don't expect me to reply back instantly all the time (I will try to, but can't make any promises). I'm a single mum to a 6 year old who is my world but also the reason I’m permanently tired 😂 I can also be a bit sassy at times, so hopefully you can handle a little Pakistani fiery attitude with my slow replies.

I work as a SEN teaching assistant which alhamdulillah is a very rewarding job, although at times it can be pretty tough mentally and physically.

When I do get some free time, I’m usually doing my skincare and haircare routines, which is my form of self love. I also like cooking, baking, and quiet walks. I’m attempting to get into fitness, but it’s definitely a work in progress.

My faith is important to me (I'm a Muslim), and I’m big on mental health and personal growth. I wish I could say I spend my rare quiet moments doing something intellectual, but the last "deep" film I watched was Puss in Boots with my daughter, although I do also have a soft spot for bad 2000s horror movies.

So if you think we might get along, feel free to message me (just don't open with "Hi"... Lets put a little effort in). Tell me something about you, or something you liked about my post and why you think we might get along.

Also, to save us both the effort, if you’re a Reform voter, we won’t vibe. I don't think I want to talk to someone who hates my guts.
