I'm Hannah, 23, and I live on Scotland's east coast, in a not very exciting medium-sized city surrounded by beautiful countryside.

I love many things including: photography, arthouse cinema, fresh coffee, indie music, vintage, retro, getting lost in a good book, spending time with friends & making jewellery. I'm employed in the social work field, helping adults with learning disabilities. I also run an etsy store that badly needs updating.

Personality-wise I'm an idealistic, home-loving, friendly, open, liberal, non-judgmental, impulsive, introspective, somewhat contradictory dreamer. I treat people how I like to be treated and try to put others first. I'm proud to call myself a feminist.

And I love Bitch magazine, even if it's not technically a book.

I may reuse packaging to send a swap, providing (of course) that it is clean and in a fit state for reuse. If you would rather I used new packaging to send a swap to you please contact me ASAP after the swap partner list has been announced.

I pledge to other swap-bot members that I will:

1) Rate for every swap I take part in.

2) Rate as soon as I am able to get online after swap is received.

3) Rate Fairly - I will only give a 1 rating if a swap hasn't been received and no contact has been made from the sender.

4) Only give a 3 if I feel that the swap didn't meet the requirements and my partner chooses not to correct the swap.

5) Leave a message on all ratings, even if its just a thank-you.

6) Not slander or badmouth anyone when given a rating, facts are all that is needed when rating a 1.

(I took this from another user's profile, but I'm sure no-one will mind me also expressing these promises.)
