Yes, great news Susie, and welcome to the inner sanctum of the Society!

Keith has extremely eloquently put the benefits of membership, which I wholly endorse.

I too, was a member of the FF club, and received the badge (unfortunately lost, but have since replaced). I had a personal letter from Enid - such was her love of children, that she would write personal replies. Sadly, that too, I don't have that either.

Now then, how about an ice-cream or a ginger beer?

I just got it on Saturday, that was quick delivery! :D
I have only glanced through it, coz I'm saving it to read later tonight, and it looks fascinating!
There is always something else new to learn.

I am really looking forward to join. I know I will, there's no question about that; but the question is when. Next month or the start of 2009? I'll have to decide, but I think I will join in late December. Looking forward to the serials, which sound amazing!

At first I didn't know what ASAP meant until I Googled it! But I'm already getting Journal 37 for free (thanks Tony!), and to subscribe just now won't be too good. However, I shall look into it.

Hi , I agree . I love the forums and the new one where we can share things with barney . I had to give up my membership of the society along with other things when I had to give up my paper round when I had cancer earlier this year . I used to use my paper money to renew things as I`m on benefits so don`t know when I will be able to rejoin as I do not have any pocket money . I do miss the Journal very much but hope one day to have it again Until then I really do enjoy the forums etc, and chatting to other fans , from sue :) I know £8 does not seem a lot but it is when you dont have it.

My EBS badge was given to me by Tony at the EB Day a few years ago, Sue, as a thank you for helping out a bit with the Society. I wish I could make a Secret Seven badge but I'm afraid I haven't got the time. Sewing isn't my strong point and, except for sewing on buttons and taking up hems where necessary, I tend to avoid it!

Hope 2009 will be a better year for you, Sue, and that you'll keep well and find another paper round.

I can wash the clothes or rather put the clothes into the washing machine happily.

I can wash the plates,pan happily.

I LOVE cooking.I LOVE to experiment with new recipes.

I am okay with dusting,sweeping.

BUT

I HATE ironing.Errgh.

And MOST OF THE TIME.....

My Indonesian housemaids will do the sweeping,dusting,washing and ironing. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I do the cooking only. :lol:
I stand with justice and the truth. Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.

Learn the history. Do research.

The hypocrisy, double standard, prejudice and bigotry own by some people is so obvious.Shame on them!
