Thanks Okarol, I got my name too.  It's a goody, good one.  Got to check out what IT likes.
Don't want to give away if it's M or F.

As for me I like everything.  I'm not allergic to anything and I like chocolate, sweet smelling things,
T-shirts(size L to XL) I love it all.  I'm not hard to please and I love surprises.

I forgot to say what I like.

mmmm.....     :santahat;

Well I like food. Lollies/chocolates that you cannot get in Australia are always good. Local stuff is good too. Keyring, fridge magnet etc. Not clothes, too fussy with my PD belly.

I am sure I will love anything my secret Santa selects for me!!  :cuddle;    :cheer: :rudolph;

if you get Pelagia
get a cat- cut off his whiskers
steal his little mittens
 cut a rose , pull off the petals and spit on them  - to look like raindrops
stuff them all in an old teapot
and there you go; everything she likes
