I'm sure you save up for later, Fiona. As long as you don't waste it like people in Michael Ende's "Momo"

I hasten to add I didn't read the whole of the page myself - just enough to see the difference between A, B and C sizes of paper! I'm not that strange, honestly...

Glad they got there okay! Not so sure I have 'beautiful handwriting' - but thank you for the compliment!
That's great - glad it arrived. Now there's just Walter's Journals...but he hasn't been on here since May. Does anyone know if he's okay?Fiona1986 wrote:Mine came today as well

Re: Journal Give-away Offer!
Received your envelopes today, Walter and all sent off now.
Thanks to everyone who participated and made it an enjoyable experience - it felt good to be able to help people out by supplying missing Journals to add to their collections.

Yes, you did well Pete. My email box was full of your messages, so was my PM's and even my pals contacted me. I've never been so popular!
