I am married and we have three children, two boys and a girl.

I have been swapping for over 25 years now and love it as much as when i first started.

I love swap-bot - there are a few things niggle me though - FLAKERS of course ! People who say they are going to ANGEL a swap and then don't and people who don't anwer there PM's -- grr very annoying !

Please Please pack your items you are sending carefully, just lately i have had a few damaged swaps, mainly due to them not being packed properly, make sure the envelope is big enough for the swap, dont try and squeeze it into an envelope too small and also try and put a cardboard backing in the envelope if sending memo sheets etc

MY LIKES/WISHLIST

CHOCOLATE - I LOVE CHOCOLATE !!!

Belgian Chocolate is one of my favourites along with Swiss Chocolate - Yum !

I love caramel, praline and also mint filling ! My favourite brand of chocolate is LINDT/LINDOR ! I think it is gorgeous ! I also like good old Cadburys caramel .

I have just bought myself a Tassimo drinks machine, so would welcome any of the t-discs to be used with the Tassimo BUT not tea !

I DONT like things with nuts in or fruit - yuk or turkish delight and any sort of cream filling like strawberry/orange/coffee etc !

Christmas Gingerbread Items to decorate my tree or my house, just realised how cute these are and want to start collecting them !

Address Labels/Swap Cards with a cute design on ! If making swap cards please make sure you include my swapbot name.

Make - up but only these brands - Rimmel, No 7, Maybelline, Boots 17, L'Oreal - like Eyeshadow in Pinks/Purples/Browns - Lipstick in Browns - Mascara in Black or Brown. NO CHEAP brands please they just irritate my skin !

CUTE (not plain) cellophane bags or ziplock bags

Knee High Fluffy Socks (Shoe Size 6) (no ankle socks please as have way too many ! )
