Ok I'm back to give this another go :) I'm going to limit myself to small value swaps because of the disappointment I suffered last time (lots of sending, not much receiving!) I've got a few postcards and FBs I'd like to move and I wouldn't mind getting some back!

Hi :) I'm 31 and I live in Wollongong Australia. I love to send and receive things in the mail. I truly believe that you have to send to receive!

I work shiftwork for an Emergency Service, which is sometimes very interesting, and sometimes not! I live with my fiance Andrew. We've been together for 10 years! (He must be very patient)

*** If something I have sent you hasn't arrived please message me and I'll see if I can work out what has happened! Please don't rate without messaging me first- Thanks :) ***

I love Metal, Alternative, punk etc...

Faves at the moment include: *Nine Inch Nails *Marilyn Manson *Stonesour *Metallica *Fantomas *Tomahawk *The Tea Party *The Armada *System of a Down *FNM *Theatre of Tragedy *Korn *Epica *Korpiklaani *Alice in Chains

Can you recommend some folk metal or industrial? Please let me know your faves!

I love chic-lit, biographies and fiction set in WWII.

If anyone has any recommendations for a book they absolutely loved (even if it is outside these genres!) please let me know about it :)

I have lots of favourite movies, and I am currently addicted to Bollywood.

Some of my other favourites are: *Kindergarten cop *Inglorious Basterds *Sneakers *The Three Musketeers *Coming to America *Don't tell Mom the babysitter's dead *The Breakfast Club *Footloose *My Cousin Vinny *Amelie *So I Married an Axe Murderer *The Great Escape *Yes Sir, That's my Baby *The King and I *The Sound of Music *Toy Soldiers

I am not very crafty unfortunately... but I love to knit and I love making earrings or necklaces! Remember if I send you something hand made, it has been made with love and I'm still learning!

Items or themes that I like:

*Cows *Ducks *Meerkats *Pandas *Coffee *Cupcakes or muffins *Babushkas *Red Wine *Chocolate *Recipes *Postcards (written on, naked and stamped!) *Things written in Italian *Bollywood *Letters *Cute stationery (with lines!) *Sparkly things *Purple, Orange and Green *Stickers *Tote bags *Rubber duckies *Shoes *Shopping *Bonsai *Trent Reznor *Mike Patton *Brendan Fraser *Stars

My viewing habits change a lot depending on what else is happening in my life. At the moment I am watching:

*Entourage *Masterchef Australia *House *True Blood *Due South *Millionaire Matchmaker (even if it does make me yell at the TV) *United States of Tara *Chuck

Andrew is my very patient other-half! He is 31 :) He has lots of interests, if you are sending him something he is pretty easily pleased and will be thrilled with anything you send him, some ideas to help you out! If you get stuck please message me!

*Beer *Homebrew *The Simpsons *Holden *Red Wine *Faith No More *Motley Crue *Cows *Star Trek: Next Generation *Star Wars (particularly Yoda), *Bonsai *Jack Daniels *Stubby holders *BBQ stuff *Coffee *Top Gear *Fridge magnets *Sushi and Bento items *Family Guy *Entourage *Postcards

A big no-no is tea bags or any other plant material! Chocolate is generally ok :) If you are worried a full list is available at:
