I got this a year or so ago as part of a introductory offer for a famous book club. It's always worth looking at these offers but make sure you only get the minimum requirement then cancel. |

Hi Fagus - nice pressie , that ll be why santa couldnt fit my laptop in his sleigh (Either that or i wasnt a good boy this year )
once you have had a chance to play with it , do you suppose you could do us a write up in the reviews section - i'll upload the product (assuming my slow, borrowed, p3 laptop copes with having 2 windows open of course  ) so all you would need to do would be review it - would be brill if you can

Fagus | fortuitously (given the speed or rather sloth of this laptop, sorry to go on but its driving me nuts) the book in question is already loaded up as a product , although there are as yet no reviews.
when you are ready folow this link http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/re...duct/99/cat/22 then click on review this product and roberta's your aunt.

I think I was more excited than they used to be when they were young  |

Honey Bee, Sorry you're poorly.
Try:
Hot water, freshly squeezed lemon juice (can be done in bulk and frozen in ice cube trays) and honey, drunk hot, with, if you can stand it, a crushed clove of garlic.
Or
Raspberry vinegar and hot water.
Or
Great mullein flowers steeped in honey, eaten by the spoonful.
Or
Baked onions with butter, and brown bread.
Or
An infusion of echinacea root and honey.
Get well soon.

I did'nt get much but gave away plenty (actually mostly gift vouchers), I prefer it that way the real gifts are the letters back from people telling you what they bought with the vouchers.
The truth is that I have got happiness and contentment so what more do I really need? |

One gift I got that makes me smile is a pink waterproof "radio" duck to use in the bath, one concern is that I have never seen a pink duck before and this one has its eyes at the front of its head suggesting that it is a predatory duck. My niece has told me to keep it caged. |

I love getting letters, Speckled Wood. I write loads, but don't get as many back. It's a dying art.
The pink duck sounds a bit scary!

Fagus | I am now the proud owner of the same book Fagus. Did well. Hardback copy before Christmas £25 in Waterstones-paperback £16.99. After Christmas hardback half-price £12.50 paperback the same  der! Guess what I bought...and with book tokens given me! Zilcho spent. Nice.

Feeling sorry for myself! I like hot honey and lemon, yummy (although can't taste anything) I'll try the garlic (keep the vampires away) I sometimes put cider vinegar in.

That will shift my cold, the pounds I've put on and the post Christmas bank statement that was sent to depress me this morning.
