The Enid Blyton Society

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?

Ooooh! A letter from ENid! How nice! Oh, I wish you still had it with you!!

I just got it on Saturday, that was quick delivery!
I have only glanced through it, coz I'm saving it to read later tonight, and it looks fascinating!

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!

ASAP, my old friend; ASAP!

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.

Hi ANITA I WAS IN THE EBS BUT HAD TO DROP IT WHEN I GAVE UP MY PAPER ROUND LAST YEAR DUE TO CANCER . I `M UNEMPLOYED SO HAD TO DROP A LOT OF THINGS I WAS IN AS I CANT RENEW THEM ON DOLE MONEY. I MISS THE JOURNAL AND AM TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER ROUND BUT UNTIL I DO I SHALL HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND RENEW WHEN I CAN . £8 IS NOT A LOT I KNOW BUT WHEN YOU HAVENT GOT THEN IT IS .
HEY , WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR EBS BADGE FROM? COULD YOU MAKE ME A SECRET 7 BADGE ON A CLOTH BUTTON ? THANKS VERY MUCH HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM SUE .

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.

Anita

hi ANITA,thanks for your reply , i`m rubbish at sewing too ---all comes to bits when i`ve done it and buttons come a day or so later! thanks anyway . sue

Sue, if you saw Anita's socks, you'd know what she meant!

Say what you like about my socks - I don't give a darn!

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.

I do the cooking only.

I wasn't trying to pull the wool over your eyes, honest!
