Yes, I like their soaps and bath melts and ballistics 35.

I don't think so 38. As I am in Japan, what sort of things would you like from there? kitkats and stationery 39.

Love picnics with baskets and tiffin boxes 42. If you were put in a room with 100 random other people the same age and sex as you, from your country, in what way do you think you would be different from the average? I think I'm different from them because I don't have children, don't have a paid job, have 9 cats, read everything I can get my hands on and have a huge amount of books, am pagan, am never free from pain and spend some of my time in a wheelchair. 43.

If so, any particular type you'd love to get? Not really, although I love stuffed Japanese lucky cats. 49. Switch Witch is, of course, all about you.....but if your Witch was so inclined, are there wee little ones in your home that will get jealous and are just too young to understand why you won't share the love, who maybe need a touch of Witchee love all their own, to distract them while you hide all your lovelies?!? No little ones that would get jealous, since I don't think my cats would 50. If you knew you were going to live comfortably for say 800 years, what profession, calling or project might you pursue with some of your extra years, which you imagine you may not do in the life that you have? Is there any thing - an object, a donation on your behalf, some research done for you, whatever - that your witch could do about this that you would like? And if you can't think of a present, would you rather she/he (I!) didn't either and confined themselves to things you are already involved in? I would love to run an animal hotel where people who for example will need to go to hospital can have their pet stay without having to pay lots of money. I don't think my witch would be able to do anything for that unfortunately. 51. Further question: Would you be interested in someone writing out for you a favourite recipe, or finding or devising one which they think you'd like? If so, please provide your favourite ingredients, info on how you like to cook/store and use food, and any intolerances - unless all of these are in your questionnaire, or you don't like the idea. (I'm not saying I'd definitely do this, unless someone is keen, and it wouldn't be the only gift). I guess for other witches this might include something like a knitting pattern - not my thing but would you like that? Or indeed would you like a picture created for you (if so what kind) or a story written? (sorry if this feels a bit Spanish Inquisition!) I do love recipes, but I already have so many that I've written myself or found on websites and in magazines. 52. Do you like bags? If so, what type (rucksack, clutch, shopping bag) colour and would you like/need a new one? Love bags.

What's your favourite comfort food(snack or candy etc) and/or drink? What always cheers me up is hot chocolate, with or without marshmallows and I like coated nuts (sugared, or with yoghurt or chocolate, sweet and spicy is nice too) 54. Would you like anything from an European country? Any particular food or goodies, magazines, books, whatever would be available to your witch in his/her country. Absolutely, I would especially love licorice, as I know lots of countries have their own versions. 55. What fandoms do you belong to? (does fandom stand for fan club?, if so it's Simon's Cat, if not, educate me! ) 56. What cheers you up? Reading always cheers me up. On the sofa with a nice glass of something (dr pepper or cocoa if I really need cheering up), cat on my lap and a good read. 57. Who or where would you most want to haunt? Who would you least want to be haunted by? I would love to haunt in the Oxford (UK) Bodleian library, I wouldn't want to be haunted by an former next door neigbour (evil gossip person) 58.

Witchee, I know that SW isn't about what you get... but could you name one thing you would be heartbroken not to get and one thing you would be a-ok if it didn't make it in your box? (i.e. do you REALLY want perfume oil of some sort, or would you be totally heartbroken if there was no Lush in your box, etc) I don't think I would be heartbroken if I didn't get a certain item of my wish list. I do love all things on my lists, but we'll always need wishes, so I'll just continue to look at the picture from time to time 62. Is there anything small you try to collect from everywhere you visit? I do like to collect small things from places I visit, but it would be something that's regional for that area. 63. Would you like something from Empire Edibles? Well, looking at that website, Hmmm, let me think for a second, I don't know, maybe I would possibly.... YES!!!! 64. What are the three books you most want to read right now, and which you don't already have? It would have to be ebooks, since I'm not that good at holding books and turning pages anymore, and the books I would still love to read would be: Extra Virgin by Annie Hawes and also Ripe for the Picking by her and Walking back to Happiness by Lucy Dillon. 65. Do you have any problems with swearing or particularly off-color humor? No real problem with swearing or off colour humor, but I don't always like it. 66. What would you like from the most recent BPAL update? What are you planning on buying for yourself and what would you like to try? Every oil has at least one scent in it I'm not that fond of unfortunately 67. Opinions on table top games, from cards and board games, to dice and rpgs. What do you like? What don't you like? Favorites? Any classics you like? Do you collect any? I like games and puzzles too (not the jigsaw kind) 68. What style is your sense of humour? I like witty humor and silliness too. Slapstick like Miranda (UK tv series) and I love Blackadders' humor. 69. Is there anything from Australia you would like? eg: snacks (yes, you can ask for Tim Tams!), books, magazines, memorabilia? Never had a Tim Tam, but would like to try it and other chocolate candy and love magazines. 70. Gift cards/vouchers - yay or nay? If you like them - which stores would you like one for? I like them, Amazon and Etsy possibly. 71. How big is too big...for something to hang on your walls? If I'm painting you a pretty picture, are there maximum dimensions that you have/prefer? If it fits through the doorway in one piece? I don't really care about the size, a gorgeous painting can be tiny or huge. Beauty comes in all sizes and shapes 72. what is your favourite object, that you own, ignoring sentimental reasons for attachment? I think it's my e-reader. 73. Put your mp3 player/online music/itunes/etc on random and list the next 10 songs here: Kate Bush- This woman's work Dervish- Boots of Spanish leather Pink Floyd- Wish you were here Altan- Dónal agus Mórag Capercaillie- To the Moon Robin Thicke- Blurred Lines Lunasa- Maids- In The Kitchen Michael McGoldrick- Watermans Flook- Pressed For Time Shaggy- It wasn't me 74. If you happen to find out who yours is, how much would it bother you? It's fun to get the surprise at the end, but I wouldn't mind terribly if I found out earlier. 75. Is there someone on the forums (within SW or not) who knows you really well and might be able to help with stalking? I don't think there are people here who know lots about me alas 76. Do you use waxmelts or tarts? If so, which ones do you prefer? Yes, I love them both. 77. Do you enjoy drinking hot chocolate, and would you like stuff to make it with, or to add to it? Yes I love hot chocolate 78. Have you ever tried Spoonfudge? Would you enjoy it if your Witch would send you some? Which of the flavors would you like? I know about Spoonfudge, but have never tried it. I think I would really like chocolate cherry, salted caramel or cotton candy. 79. What's your opinion on Moonalisa? Any favorites or products you'd like to try? I've heard they're great, but I've never tried anything. 80. Are there any BPALs that you loved the idea of, the imagery - whether artwork or description - but which didn't work out for you? (I'm asking because if they did, you might mention them elsewhere, but if not, the imagery might be helpful) I thought I would love Strawberry moon, because of the description, but I did't like me much. None of the years, except maybe 05, which is hard to come by. 81. Ninjas or Pirates? Pirates 82. Werewolves or Vampires? Vampires, love my vampire chick-lits 83. Zombie or Cthulhu? Cthulhu 84.

When you are having a really rough day, what do you like to do/have to make it a little brighter? Make myself a hot drink, curl up on the sofa with a blanket. Cat on my lap and then reading a lovely book. What also really helps me, is just to sit outside, listen to the sounds of nature. 88. Would you like if your witch sent a regional pop/soda? If so, what type (Root beer, creme soda, cola, citrus-flavored, chocolate-flavored, etc...)? Chocolate flavour would be interesting. I love dr Pepper, so drinks like that would be nice 89.

This looks interesting What do I need to tell you about myself, lets see; I'm 41 years old, but everyone tells me I look much younger (always nice to know ) I have long, slightly curly dark brown hair, that's actually dark red at the moment, pale skin with red cheeks and lips. I'm reasonably tall and curvy. I love the colour purple and many of my clothes are either purple, black or dark pink. I don't wear make-up, but love nice smells. I'm a kind person, loving, warmhearted, generous, smart, funny at times, patient, sensitive. I can be too trusting, but cross me one too many times and you will be out of my life. Have been hurt too many times to have people in my life who will hurt me deliberately. I don't like loud noises or raising my voice. I hate people who are stupid and I don't mean people who haven't been to school a lot. By stupid I mean people who judge others while not even knowing them, spread evil gossip, make others feel bad about themselves for example. I also hate people who are cruel to animals, children, elderly etc. I love animals, but especially cats and they love me. I don't think there are animals I'm scared of, like spiders or snakes, though I of course have respect for lions and hippos and will keep my distance I'm a vet nurse, though due to health reasons I'm not able to work anymore. I now take care of my own gang of 12 fur-balls My passions are of course the cats, reading, especially fantasy, listening to music, playing Irish harp, singing, watching films, also mostly fantasy and being outside. I love a walk in the woods, the smells, the peace and quiet, rustling of leaves. Another one of my passions is cooking and baking. Italian, Indonesian, but also simple British dishes. I love sweet scents and spices, nuts, some fruits like cherry, coffee, chocolate, incense. Not keen on flower scents. For me a flower scent needs to come from a flower, not me Some of my favourite BPAL scents are Snake Oil, Black Temple Burlesque troupe, Boomslang, Boo, Ghoulish and Velvet Unicorn. I like strawberry, but strawberry does not like me, nor does blood orange. So, what do you think?

I really miss my bottle of Plastic Pink Flamingo. Is there a perfume that is similar to it? i'm still hoping to find a new bottle, but just in case I don't, I would like to find a substitute
