I finished this today and I feel a bit cheated! Although, I don't think it was that great...I didn't care too much about the characters, and it was ok to read but the end was disappointing and woolly and a bit...well, bleuch. It will be sent on it's way as soon as possible!
Ever since we returned from Portugal, Sunshine has been a bit obsessed about wrapping up anything she can get her hands on!Sunshine and Peter went out for a spell this afternoon and Sunshine came back with an early birthday present for me!
They ended up in B&Q as there was nowhere else open and Sunshine found this snowglobe and decided that it was perfect. Unfortunately, she dropped it on the way to the checkout and announced that "Mummy probably wouldn't like that one because it's broken." So there was a walk back to get a replacement! When home she wrapped it up and presented it to me! A bit later on she made a 'plinth' to put it on and insisted that it went into the cabinet with all the other crystal!
Loved it!
Would recommend it!
Hanging on to it for a while! The story is good...gripping even! Once the heroine starts doing the 'magic' it gets a bit 'Being John Malkovich' but that in itself is not a bad thing.
I just have to say how impressed I am with the Roof Rack Shop! I ordered a new car seat for Sunshine yesterday at about 2pm and it just arrived this morning! Dead impressed! I wasn't expecting it at least until tomorrow! Top marks for the shop on three counts:
After much deliberation and prevarication we have a new car...a replacement for Barbie who has given a good 5 years in our service. From my early commuting days to Manchester...to Peter's commuting to Snodland in the last 6 months, she has done us proud! So proud in fact that another Mini was in order...a diesel one this time though. And the name....chosen by Sunshine once the car had been ordered....Muffin...not sure why...Peter is not happy with the choice...he wanted to call it Ken...
So, farewell Barbie...hello and welcome Muffin.
(Barbie was so called because the security etching started with BBQ)
My Dad gave me this book in July and I have finally finished it. I guess it's slightly similar to Labyrinth which was ok...I can't say I didn't enjoy it, but I'm not racing out to get any more Kate Mosse! Sometimes it takes me a while to get over a good book...you know, can't start a new one because the last is still a bit imprinted....but I had no qualms about starting a new one....The End of Mr Y...
