In July straight after my daughter broke up for the holidays. We went for a very traditional holiday by the sea.

To the person below me: what would you request for a "last supper"?

My daughter had Faraway Tree read to her in reception and enjoyed it. How about SNowball the Pony? The chapters aren't too long and it is ideal for younger children. There are some others in the same vein - The Birthday Kitten, The Missing Necklace and The Very Big Secret although the last one hasn'...

Ludo - there is huge satisfaction to be had sending someone back to the start just as they were about to make it to safety. Extra satisfaction if they have a double piece!

To the person below me:

Tell us something that not many people know about you.

Just to demonstrate how it can be done............ Back on topic :lol: I don't mind things going off topic if the content of the original post has been addressed first - does that make sense? I also agree with Keith about the one word posts - the only place for them is the Games board where they are...

Wasn't part of the reason for Jo being expelled because her parents (her father especially) had such different veiws to MT? I think there was something said about it when he came to pick Jo up. Wasn't Daphne only getting a small amount of pocket money from an old aunt or something? Maybe it was deci...

Roast beef with all the etcs......not very traditional I'm afraid!

To the person below me, what are you hoping to find under your tree this year?

Thanks Anita

[Daily Mail:] One of the episodes is called The Case Of The Thief That Drinks From The Toilet and another The Case Of The Impolite, Snarly Thing. Goodness gracious! :shock: What would Julian say?! Anita Impolite, Snarly Thing?! So that's where my ex-husband-to-be went before he got chance to sign t...

[I hope to start a family soon-ish. I'd like to buy my kids nice new editions of EB's books for themselves - I don't expect them to appreciate daddy's dusty old, yellowing books the way I do!] My daughter (aged 6) would sell her soul to the Devil if it meant she could touch my early editions - she ...

Great Journal this time but pretty please can someone "translate" the second of the two references for me? I can't make head nor tail of it! Thanks. I have got my subs ready to send off, Tony, but it might take me a while..........hopefully not long enough for you to have to send me a remi...

Really! Thats actually lucky she's doing them in year 3! In my school everyone has to suffer and do them in year 2!! It must be so scary for them! I'd be teriffied! You're right Anna, it is Year 2 which is even more scary for me as she goes into Year 2 in September this year and isn't 7 until Feb 2...

"This 'glue' we found is awfully sticky, Fatty"

I think I'll sit on the fence for this one because I have never seen any Blyton stories on television :oops: Personally, I always prefer a book to a programme - the exception is Branagh's Henry V - which is why I haven't watched the FF or anything. Have I read it right - this new cartoon features th...

This morning Rosie quoted me a bit from a book about the Ideal Home Exhibition from 1955 which advised women "always remember that your husband's conversation is more important than your own". :shock: :shock: :shock: It is so easy to forget how much society changed in Blyton's lifetime, a...

I've had alook at this in the book listing and I think its the book I think it is (does that makes sense?!) but please can someone give me a summary of the first story which is the same as the title - Three Naughty Children. Many thanks. Along the same lines, Katie is currently enjoying the Book of ...
