People have complained to me before that I take all their pages X due to constant moving... I think they gave up in the end! email/facebook is the way forward for me

I am a constant source of irritation to my nearest and dearest for this very reason.

I think I need a new adddress book, and a pencil.

I had a look at some yesterday. There's not enough room for the 'address' in most of them.

My parents have 15 addresses for me in their address book - I don't think they have sent me anything through the post since address number 5!

I think my Grandma would win this one - she needed a new address book after she had to cross out so many people when they died!! Talk about inconsiderate of them.

It is really annoying when people split up and you have to cross one name out too Wink

You need a loose leaf mini Filofax address book.

Then you can have tidy pages, and get some really cute dividers, a nice mini pen, and have pockets for stamps.

Tis very satisfying.

I know I am an old gimmer, but I do love an address book. I can open it and write the address quicker than switching the laptop on.

Computers break. And costs hundreds of pounds in new parts to be fixed.

I like my address book!

I love my address book, I cannot sit comfortably writing letters/thank yours/xmas cards at the computer, I can curled up on the sofa with my book!

sticky labels are useful for constant movers!
