About Me

Hello, name's Sarah. I'm a struggling working bee, whose swap-bot experience is driven solely by a pesky nesting instinct. After University and I didn't get along, I left for home, and am now studying History and German (sometimes) from the comfort of my bedroom, while funding ill-thought-out trips around the country, usually to somewhere in the West Midlands, with a job as an everything in a supermarket.

Some things I like to receive in swaps: owls in any size shape or form, postcards, buttons, book marks, ATCs, ribbons, Moomin-related items, tiny figurines (especially ones that are in some way religious), zines, Toy Story stuff, Skittles, magic stuff, cereals that I can't get in the UK, Pokemon-related items, stationery, and things for/about dogs (as I am the very proud owner of a beautiful brindlything).

Some things I don't want to receive: Hello Kitty, Mars bars, sport, fairies, and heart-shaped things.

Comment: I communicated with you, but never got the original card, nor a replacement.
Response: Hi Gina, I'll send another card this week. This swap was a long time ago so I must've forgotten to check you'd got it. Sorry about that.

Comment: Thanks for the nicely drawn dragonfly ATC. As an FYI - You might want to put inside another layer of thick paper around your ATC when you use bead embellishments. They made it alright, but the envelope was rather torn from the beads tearing through.
Response: Oh, thanks for the tip! Sorry about that.

Hi Sarah, I've left this for a couple of months, but since you haven't been able to make up your three 1 ratings and are partially suspended, I have to remove you from The Hundred Acre Wood. Feel free to apply to rejoin if you ever get things sorted out.

BeautifulMess on Jan 25, 2011:

Being surspended means I have to delete you from U K Swap-bot, if you make up your 1's please feel free to join again.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS FROM UK SWAP-BOT!

Please come look at the new swaps and lets get the new year off to a great start!

Hi Sarah--just checking in to see if you've received your stocking yet?

thehappyhoneybee on Dec 9, 2010:

Okay, thanks--I appreciate the update. I sent your stocking out on Monday, December 6 so you should receive it soon. Hope you enjoy.

thehappyhoneybee on Dec 7, 2010:

Sarah,

As you know, the deadline to send your Little House Christmas swap was today, December 6. You haven't marked "sent" yet on your swap (and you'd told me you were going to send one week ago) so I'm just checking in to see what the current situation is.

I'd appreciate hearing back from you asap. Thanks,

Mimi

The funniest real life zine from a talented writer. The BBC should be knocking your door down to write a sitcom x

sassyreader on Sep 17, 2010:

doortotheriver on Sep 1, 2010:
