    And if he/she ran off you'd have to wander the neighbourhood calling "Peanuts!", which might get some interesting responses ;)

    Though probably not as dangerous as the person I knew who had a cat called Muppet. And lived in a dodgy bit of south London.

    Lula don't buy a hat it will have to come out of your budget, spend the money on something else.

    Joining the library tomorrow, only been saying I'm going to for the last year, hoping that they'll have some books I want to read, as anyone got a kindle? and if so are they any good?

    Thanks for reminding me eco :).

    I dont have a kindle, because as much as I love clever technology I still cant bring myself to buy something that has a screen that needs to be touched. Cannot bear smudgey screens - get rally narked if anyone at work touches my screen & still have a phone that uses buttons :o.

    I use my library as it's just a 5 minute walk away & free, free free.

  • i have a kindle cause my dad purchased one before he died in december. you dont touch the screen, there are buttons on the right and the left and its brilliant, light and easy to hold than abook. i downloaded a book for £4 and you can use your pc as a kindle too so you can save the books too.

    my brother sent me an online voucher for amazon so i can download more kindle books and there are 100 free books that you can download that are readers classics.

    I am with you, partially, on this. I love books, love the pages love the smell, love having an actual book (and I love the library although haven't been there in a while as was given a huge bag of brand new books by someone at work who 'didn't read' !!!!!!???? anyway, my gain)

    However when I go on holiday half the weight of my luggage is the many many volumes of books I take and the thought of having everything in one tiny slim gadget is most appealing. However I'm not spending £100 so I don't have to carry books on holiday, especially as I'm moving into extreme frugal mode shortly.

    Well sweetie, you are F Fabulous so dont hang around waiting for him to call.

    Re kindle - think I've confused it with ipad :o £4 still seems a fair bit though although I gues the bonus is having all that material which takes up only virtual space, therefore perfect for a barge :)
