Woke up feeling OK actually, spent the morning parenting, dog-sitting and doing chores and determinedly NOT going to Big W 'cos the OH was in a crabby mood this morning (despite relinquishing all responsibility and going off on a jolly).

Now the sprog is asleep for her afternoon nap and I get a couple of hours of peace. So, back to the plot ...

Chances of getting arse into gear, sprog into car and driving to Big W (25 minutes) this afternoon ... 25%. I'll probably pick a copy up on Monday in the City ...

It's a great day out there (22 degrees and as fine as you like) I don't think I can bear to spoilt it with a visit to 'the shops' ... sand castles and Play Doh is in order this afternoon.

"No sir, it's just the front cover that's different!"
I opted for the adult one, paying upfront means no queuing, just walk in and show the ticket they give you the book straight from the box;)
I did tell the boy I was reading it before him as I stumped up the cash:o

Adult version?

HP Sauce?

P.129 - She's Pregnant
P.130 - He's Off
P.131 - She's shacked-up with a builder from over the road
P.132 - The builder admits to commitment issues
P.133 - Harry has meanwhile descended into drink and drugs
P.134 - She's got piles and the builder is taking time off to 'get his head right'

Oh, so it IS the adult version ...

How about letting people read the book at their own pace, without spoiling it.

Damn straight, I hate it when I'm reading a thread and someone tells me that so-and-so will get banned and sure enough, they do ... takes all the enjoyment out of it.
