Think I read that today is World Book Reading Day.
Well I would like to designate tomorrow "No houseworking day"

Sorry Ann, my daughter already has.

Def World book day today, I vote for no housework week and no ironing year.

I like that idea Ann

Star

And eating sweets and cakes but not putting weight on month

lmao im with u on that one ann

iv done far to much today lol

How appropriate that Ann of Green Gables should make the announcement!

(But shame -- don't you know that she was Anne *with an "e"*, as she constantly told people?!)

World Book Day was designated by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, and is marked in over 100 countries around the globe. The origins of the day we now celebrate in the UK and Ireland come from Catalonia, where roses and books were given as gifts to loved ones on St. George’s Day – a tradition started over 80 years ago. For international information about World Book Day, please click here. www.UNESCO.org

World Book Day 2008 in the UK and Ireland will take place on Thursday 6th March. Please note that this date applies to the UK and Ireland only. ...

Now how can anyone possibly do housework if she is doing her civic duty and reading a book?

I wonder whether our poetry reading last night counts.

Does that mean instead of doing the ironing after my tea - I can curl up with a book instead? I have three on the go lol

couldn't care less if she had no "e" on her name, I never read the book anyway and we were too poor for me to have an "e"

Hi Star - nice to see you again!!!!

*just gives a BIG BLISSFULL SIGH of happiness *...Thanks Ann
xxxx

What can i give up as do not do the swear word am on the puter to much and cannot give that up Valxxx

If you got a really hot novel, couldn't you kill 2 birds with one stone and use that to do the ironing?

Ann dont rise to the bait hun xxxx We love you just as you are.

To E''s or Not to E's (or one) is that the question pmpl

well thank you Maddie Moo - I'm going to phone a friend again!!!!

lol Dingbat I have a freind that places a towel under her sofa cushions puts the sheets folded flat on top and sits on them to 'iron' them.

Unfortunatly my chair cushions dont come off as recliners.

Or I could have done that and read book and ironed at same time :)

Oh come on girls..... just sit down and read your books.... life is too short for ironing!!
