Lixie

I AM ALLERGIC TO LAVENDER. The smell sets me off so even if it is a synthetic scent it's no good for me.

Apart from that I am a committed knitter and generally enthusiastic about crafts of all kinds. I live in London in the UK and work as the head of professional development for a charity. I'm married with no kids and no pets (but I love cats).

Hip hop.

Crime and detective. I read all the agatha christies when I was a teen and haven't looked back since. Also like comic crime like Kinky Friedman and Jasper Fforde.

I am a sucker for trash action. Blade, Van Helsing, Batman, Dodgeball, Underworld. Recently saw Tropic Thunder and thought it was great. Favourite film at the moment is Hot Fuzz.

Detective dramas. Love Numb3rs - so funny! Also Lewis, Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Marple old and new, Midsummer, PD James etc. Also big WWE fan - HHH and Cena are my favourites.

Knitting, crochet, dyeing, sewing, embroidery. Used to be really into ATCs but went off them about 18 months ago.

If in doubt pens (biro, rollerball, gel, whatever) and propelling pencils are ALWAYS good!

Likes: Polka dots - red with white dots on anything and I'll love it, rainbows, Old school strawberry shortcake and care bears, Red and Purple, Receiving post, buttons, fabric, Knitting - most favourite thing ever!, crochet, pens, pencils, stationary, giraffes, cats, strawberries, cherries, milk and white chocolate, marzipan, sweets, well made hand-made things, kawaii.

Dislikes: Lavender, Acid/neon colours, Licorice, Tea/Coffee - herbal and normal, skulls, book marks, religious items (I respect your beliefs but I don't share them), chewing gum, nuts in chocolate, dark chocolate (high cocoa), Hersheys, dogs, beads (I have tonnes!), double pointed needles (for knitting)

I get a proof of postage for everything I send. If you don't receive your parcel let me know and I can start chasing it with Royal Mail. I'll always send a second parcel if the first doesn't arrive.
