    Hi & Welcome!!! Heather
  6. Hi Janet, yes I did thanks. Get that ironing done!! (She says... with a huge pile she has merely thrown into the spare room so she doesn't have to see it!)
  7. Oh my goodness!!! I started reading the book this morning & have done nothing else. Finished at 6pm!! It has been a while since I have read a book in one sitting.... I suppose I ought to do something sensible now like catch up with some work, get something to eat, feed the parrot etc etc !! I feel oddly diconnected from life after reading for so long!

    Hello

    Hi & Welcome!! Heather
  9. I like the new one for Marmite (at least I think it is new!) with Paddington Bear!
  10. Hi, I have to confess to having played WoW.... I banned myself as it was sucking up more of my life than reading was!! Highly addictive... I would recommend it to anyone who wants to avoid real life & has far too much spare time on their hands!! Heather
  11. Hi, I have also had similar comments made. I do think some people just struggle to read & can think of a prime example. My brother has never understood me reading & has told me I am "boring" etc etc for reading so much. However... I also recall that he was a very slow reader as a child & struggled with English despite being talented in pretty much every other area. Perhaps people with specific reading difficulties just won't get the same enjoyment because reading is hard work for them. They shouldn't criticize those who do enjoy it but I just consider myself lucky I can!!! Heather
  12. Hi,

     

    Thanks it was good. Really friendly bunch & very relaxed. Some very interesting discussions & lots of different viewpoints from the group which I thought was good. Thanks for asking.

     

    Hope all good with you,

     

    Heather
