About Me
Last profile update 25th Jan 2012
About me well..... Im a solo parent to 3 energetic boys. Oskar ( Ozzy) 9, Logan 6 and Otis 3. Most days I feel like wacking them on the head with a big stick...but I refrain LOL.
I have just taken up a partime job after 2 years of studying. Im very excited about that. I Have completed Certificates 2, 3 and 4 in Business Administration and started on my Diploma of Management. After working as a Chef for 15 years this was a really big change.
♥ I will re-gift anything that I am given if I have no particular use or a dislike for it. I will not pass anyone elses work off as my own and always stick a note when im re-gifting stating who made the item.
If you have a particular aversion to me re-gifting anything that you send please let me know and I will refrain from regifting it.
Flakers and Questionable Swappers
I do not tolerate liars, I will rate HONESTLY if you are late with no contact before send date or no reasonabale excuse...or your reason changes as the 'story' develops. I am not a hard swapper to deal with.
If you get caught outrightly lying about swaps I will not be happy and it will be reflected in your rating.
