I'm taking a break from swapping. All my swaps are out and I've rated all the ones I've received. Hopefully I'll do an Arnie. "I'll be back."

I Pledge

What about me?

I'm a British expat living in Germany. I joined Swap-bot to force myself to do those things that used to make me happy. I like being creative. I'm not saying I'm any good at it, I just like it.

I love art, writing and photography, but I don't take them seriously, I just enjoy taking photos and having fun.

I'm happily married and I have two dogs, a cat and two Neopets. I probably spend far too much time on the net, blogging, webbing, Googling, Flickring, podcasting and generally using up as much bandwidth as I can.

I also like reading...

Stuff I actually bother to watch:-

BBC costume dramas A Place in the Sun (A girl can dream) Dr Who (Usually from behind the sofa) Heroes Little Britain Monty Python Neighbours (shame faced admission)

Making fun stuff, I grew up with Blue Peter, and their stuff still looks better than mine. But I have more fun!

I love hand made paper. I love crocheted things. I love anything that was made with love.

I've never met a colour I didn't like, but I guess my favourite colour is red. It's so warm and vibrant.

I don't like marzipan. I don't like instant coffee. I don't like chemical flavourings and additives (unless they are in the shape of a gummy bear)
