Hi! My name's Claire Edwards and I'm 14 years old.
I'm from Cardiff in Wales. I live with my mum and
dad and my 12-year-old brother Sam, who's a big
computer fan. My best friends are Holly and Anita.
I love music. I listen to music all the time and I play
the guitar in a band with some of my friends. We're
called The Daisies and we play rock and pop music.
I write the songs, but I don't like singing because
I'm shy! I'm writing a new song at the moment.
I also love going shopping because I'm really into
fashion . My favourite colour is green, so I've got

Do you want to get some new clothes without spending any money? The
answer is a swap shop! Swap shops are events where you and other
people can exchange clothes that you don't want. The clothes have to
be good quality and look new. You can then choose clothes of the same
value that other people have brought to the swap shop. Swap shops are
popular with fashionable people who have lots of nice clothes that they
never wear. Swapping clothes is also better for the environment than
