Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

If it gets kids reading it, then does it matter how they sell it?

I saw that in my local Waterstones. Was mildly dismayed that they'd tried to sell Wuthering Heights by putting a Twilight style cover on it.

I thought Wuthering Heights was crap, but I approve of the idea

Oh I like that. It's really heartening.

I love Wuthering Heights. May have to venture in my local store for a nosey.

I know that title is the dullest ever

Was in the teen section and they had a display with all vampire/ghost type books. But in amongst the ones without much substance (not knocking them - I read them ) they also had Wuthering Heights with a decent modern teen looking cover

It was really good to see a classic in amongst all of the newer ones.

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
