About Me

I am 37 and joined this site as I love receiving snail-mail. Always have done. I am married and have been for 9 years, I was born and live in Scotland. My interests include reading and music but my main passion is going to see musicals and going to see my favourite group Take That when they are on tour. I would love any musical, Take That related swaps of course! but I also love cats and all other animals, stickers, anything glittery, chocolate, candy and fun cute things. I also like disney and my favourite is Tigger. I like little samples and sachets, bookmarks, book suggestions. Purple is my favourite colour, closely followed by pink. I like bright and pastel, can't say I have an aversion to any colour though!

I SEND MY SWAPS SURFACE MAIL DUE TO COSTS, THIS CAN TAKE UP TO 42 DAYS, PLEASE ALLOW FOR THIS, I HAVE PROOF OF POSTAGE FOR EACH OF MY SWAPS. I WILL RESEND IF NEEDED.

Favorite Music

Take That Have been a fan since I was 14, and hope to see them on tour as much as possible.

Musicals: I love anything Musical related from stage and screen my favourite stage musical is Spring Awakening and my fave screen musical is Grease, I try to go and see as many as possible. Have major love for Aaron Tveit.

Favorite Movies

Grease is my favourite movie but others that a big favourites include the Back to the Future trilogy and the Goonies. Also love a chickflick such as Pretty Woman or The Proposal.

Likes/Dislikes

I Love Take That Cats Glittery/Sparkly things Purple and Pink Stripes and Rainbows Tigger Musicals Las Vegas Harry Potter Chocolate Candy Sour Things Spicy Food Animals Stickers Bottle Openers(For my Dad) 80's cartoons such as My Little Pony, Jem and the care bears, Drinking Chocolate, Letter Paper Disney Alice(for my sister) Harry Potter Cocktails (drinking/recipes/glass decor) Lip Smackers Note cards Unicorns Breaking bad Jackie Collins Art Deco Golden age of Hollywood.

I Dislike Feathers Disappointing People Marzipan Horror/Gory Books, Coffee, Fruit and Herb Teas Broken Things

Favorite Television

I like to binge watch teen TV shows such as Gossip Girl and The O.C. I wish the UK had a coupon culture as I'd love a go at extreme couponers.

Libraries

I'm a Librarian, I have a passion for library related things, books and my main thing is getting children and teens to read. I run various reading groups, with my largest one is tween girls, so happy to receive anything they would like, such as candy, novelty erasers, beads, stickers, pens, fun crafts.

Favorite Crafts

I'm not crafty, please don't expect anything handmaiden from me. I'm teaching myself to crochet, but it's not great, in fact it's awful, but I'm enjoying it and it keeps me off social media which was creeping to much into my life.

I do enjoy letter writing, not big long letters but a good couple of pages, I firmly believe you can't beat snail mail and I occasionally even write to people I see daily, just so they too get the enjoyment of a hand written letter. I'm also not great at gift wrapping, so apologies there.

Guess what just arrived today? My totally wonderful RAK from you! Looks like it was held up here for a while by customs (nasty customs grrr!). Thank you, I love it and it is soooo me. I will send yours out on Friday and will send you confirmation, just for good measure. Sorry I have taken so long in sending your but I hope it will very worth the wait.

I'm glad you sent full size candy bars as well. I was starting to think I might get marked down when I read only spent $4 including posting after -x-

Great to see you in the Newbie Pan Pal Swap! :) I'm not sure if this is effecting you at all, but if mail might be delayed because of the volcano thing, when you receive your partner feel free to send a gentle reminder that things MIGHT be delayed. Haha wouldn't want anyone to get crabby around here! Anyway - if you have any questions please feel free to contact me. ~Rebekah
