    hammy what do you write in them?

    I have cried on a few occasions when the boys have chewed or ripped a book :o I'm always telling Chris about children in the 3rd world who dream of having half as many books as him but I think it'll continue to go in one ear and out the other for a few more years before he understands :rolleyes:

    Probably, along with lots of other things you tell him ;)

    I underline things if I think they are interesting so I can easily find it again or I may make a note of something it reminds me of or I want to look at again later. I also turn the tops of the pages over :eek: as I never have enough bookmarks :rotfl:


    ETA (((HUGS))) sparkle, glad you feel better now
    The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents ;):o:D

    sparkle i had migranes like that a long time ago there were no warning signs it would hit and i would loose all vision, i made myself sick to release pressure and could see but slept for 12+ hours afterwards? i was told its usually a hormonal thing and luckily grew out of it. hope you ok as it is very scarey!!

    Hope theres more good news on Amber today

    Hope all the sick babies and mums/dads feel better today

    Oh my god... you wouldn't share any of my book either :rotfl:

    LOL. I'm a bit like your OH. I hate lending books out as I don't know what sort of condition i'd get them back in! I think I have a problem :(.

  • Thanks Caz, wondering if its something to do with my new pill, as I have had headaches since starting it :undecided

    LoL at you with window open, had a rather embarrassing incident a couple of weeks ago when I took OH away for the weekend for his birthday lets just say she should have knocked! :o

    Enjoy your afternoon out and dont spend too much in the shops x

  • I'm just going to get an E-Reader. Solves all my problems and there will be less books around the house.

    And, I'm pretending in my head that it's all MSE as they do free ebooks so I can read for free. Don't know if that will swing it for my DH though.

    hammy - I do that with my brainy, academic books all the time, but not so much with anything else. After so many years in schools with library books, it took ages to get over that stigma of not writing in my own personal copies. :D

    Postie just delivered me a great new Nuby cup/beaker. :T :T Thanks Gill!

    I got this a few years ago when I was on the old pill I was on. So could be connected?
