About Me

I am a 31 year old married stay at home mother of two children,a two year old girl and a 1 year old boy living in England. I love to write letters, swap, cook, bake, cross stitch etc I love tea, chocolate, hot chocolate, bath stuff, stickers, cute stationary, recipes, vanilla etc etc etc

Favorite Books

I love to read both books and magazines, my favourite authors include Kathy Reichs, Joanne Harris, Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, Amy Tan, P J Tracey, Harlen Coben. Some of my favourite books are Chocolat, Captain Correllis mandolin, The alchemist and many more.

Favorite Crafts

I am not particularly crafty but do a bit of cross stitch.

My wishlist

Flavoured lip balms (chapsticks), Lip gloss, Anything with a vanilla flavour/scent, chocolate bars and candy from your country ( I don't like plain hershey bars or coffee flavoured choc), Twinkies and other cake bars, Pretzel flips, Pocky, white tea , hot chocolate, coffee esp flavoured, letter pads, scented gel pens, scented candles, bath products, hand cream, baking supplies, Cookie cutters, Recipe books, kitchen items, things local to your area, gifts for my daughter (nearly 3) gifts for my son (1)

Dislikes

I won't be offended if any of these things get sent but prefer not to receive them: Craft items I don't have any use for them, scraps of paper, earings I don't wear them and don't really wear much jewellery at all, Liquorice or liquorice flavoured things, green tea, coffee flavoured chocolate, milk chocolate hershey bars. If I do receive any of the above I may send them out to other people so that they get use out of them so please don't be offended if I do this.

Swap-Bot bits and pieces

I ALWAYS SEND OUT MY SWAPS, IF YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED ONE FROM ME WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF THE SEND OUT DATE PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE LEAVING A BAD RATING SO WE CAN SORT IT OUT.

I always rate my partners please do the same for me, or at least let me know that you have received my swap and let me know if there is a problem. Thank you.

On another point I always say thank you when I receive a swap from somebody as I know even if no extras were included a lot of effort goes into sending a swap. I often include extras with swaps whenever I can because I like to not because I expect hearts or anything back in return, but sometimes a simple thank you might be nice :(

I've been flaked on

I seem to be very unlucky when it comes to swaps and get flaked on a lot none of them have ever been angeled, the swaps I've been flaked on are;

Hot Chocolate - http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/35313 flaked on by Slamminissa.

I Want Candy - http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/34016 flaked on by loveofkids.

Coffee Swap - http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/33462 flaked on by Streghettamiry.

Chocolate Wishlist - http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/33036 flaked on by kimmiller42.

Wishlist swap - http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/32154 flaked on by randimarie.

Xmas Candy Sock - http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/47822 this swap is current but vonn0325 was supposed to send to me and she has since been banned.

I have a feeling I will be adding a few more in the next couple of weeks but lets wait and see i might be suprised. xx

Comment: I never received anything from you for the swap, even after i contacted you about it.
Response: I did send this swap and for some reason it didn't arrive, I then resent the swap , it did take me longer than usual to resend as I was having trouble accessing swapbot to get her address but did resend, I was then unable to use swapbot for several months for personal reasons and when I came back to it recently realised I had been rated a 1 for this swap, I have since sent messages to waterdragon asking if she ever received the swap and stating that I would resend again if necessary and she hasn't bothered to reply the messages have been read. It was only a tea swap I have never flaked on any swap and most of the swaps I have been involved in have been more expensive swaps so have no reason to not send a relatively cheap tea swap.

Comment: Thank you for the 3 teas. I'm drinking the Lipton one now. An extra good thing: I didn't have all 3 of the teatags, so they will be great in my teatagcollection.
