Profile Updated Friday 25th September 2009

My name is Anne and am enjoying swap-bot immensely so far! I am excited to get into swapping and i promise to always send and always rate.

I don't have an Internet connection in my home so it will sometimes be 2-3 days before i am able to rate or reply. I hope nobody holds this against me!

My favouite colour is green (all shades except fluro). I also like purple. I dislike pink.

I understand that i may receive some items that are not quite right for me, these items have a good chance of being re-gifted, rather than them being stored in my cupboard. I hope everyone is ok with this. :-)

There are many hobbies i participate in and several things i collect. I would thoroughly enjoy receiving anything related to these:

Jigsaw Puzzles I enjoy sitting down and relaxing with a puzzle. I prefer 500 piece puzzles but if it is a beautiful picture i will do larger ones as well. Please do not send me Children's puzzles.

Buddhas I am a huge collector of Buddhas, they are just beautiful and i believe bring luck to my home. I have an ever growing collection of small figurines and statues and various other buddha items. I prefer the lucky/laughing buddhas with the large bellies.

Chocolate Coated Turkish Delight This is one of my favourite treats. I am rather fussy though with which ones i like. I am partial to the cadbury or Frys brands (I also like Cadbury Peppermint chocolate). I DON'T enjoy the turkish delight that contains rose water though, something about the taste just doesn't thrill me.

Sudoku/Soduko I have recently started doing these and i have to admit they are a lot of fun. I am not really into the super or killer varieties of them at this stage though, just the normal variety.

Postage Stamps I collect postage stamps and have done for some time now. My main collections are of Australian, New Zealand and English stamps but i do enjoy receiving from any other countries too!. Please put postage stamps on any letters or parcels that you post to me (when possible).

Feng Shui I am very interested in learning more about the world of Feng Shui. On this note you can feel welcome to post me Feng Shui items or anything that can teach me more about it.

M&M's I love nibbling on M&M's! My favourites are the Mini ones (So cute!) but i also enjoy the plain, crispy, peanut butter and mint ones as well.

Coins I have a collection of local and international coins and would enjoy receiving more coins to add to my collection.

Bookmarks I collect bookmarks of all types; free, bought and handmade. I would be happy to have any to add to my collection. The free type that you pick up in public libraries etc are the bulk of my collection.

Pens I am always picking up different, unusual and quirky pens. Tourist pens would be interesting to see also.

Cats I have one pet cat named Eclypse. Please do not send toys for Eclypse as she is getting to be an older cat now and is also quite fussy about what she plays with! She likes Fancy Feast and Dine tins to eat and enjoys the Woolworths Select Cat Treats (The soft ones - any flavour)

I adore cats and kittens and would enjoy receiving items with cats/kittens on them. In particular i would like small notepads with cats on :-)

Classic/Old Time Movies
I would be interested in watching classic movies as i haven't seen many. I would be interested in James Dean movies in particular. I really enjoy any of those $2 Dvd's you find in places such as Go-Lo, The Reject Shop, The Warehouse etc. Please no romance movies.

Tourist Spoons I have a large collection of those souvenir/tourist spoons that you seem to be able to get just about anywhere. I already have them from a large variety of locations but i am also happy to receive more. :-D

60's and 70's music. Meat Loaf, John Lennon, Savage Garden, Smokie, David Bowie, Damien Leith, Wes Carr.

Currently wishing for:

• Pollywaffle Chocolate Bars
• Large handtowels (Purple or Dark Green)
• Blank VHS(Video Tapes)
• Sheets of wrapping paper (The 50c type from discount stores. Please no floral or male related themes)
• A Money Tin (This type:. Any size)
• Cloth Peg Bag (Not too big, just enough to hold a good portion of pegs)
• Shopping List Notepad

First i need to mention that Australia has strict guidelines about what can come in and out of the country so if you are in doubt please check on http://www.auspost.com.au/internationalpost/information/prohibited_goods/index.asp to find out more.

Second i would like to mention a few things that i would rather not receive. I have quite a sensitive nose so please do not post me scented items (This means candles, incense, bath, shower, soap products). I am not a tea or coffee drinker, so any tea or coffee you send will be of no use. I do not like the colour pink. I do not want to receive anything to do with religion, anything with humour towards sex, racism or anything else vulgar or derogatory. Please nothing that contains foul language, no art, craft or knitting items (I don't do any arts or crafts as i just don't have the time!). Thank you for respecting this.
