I used to love doing them as a kid! I quite miss them to be honest. I'm itching to get one and dig out some crayons :o

Should I?

Now I want a colouring book Envy

I also want sex, but that's a total thread crossover Grin

Mosaic sticker books, not sure if these are exactly what you meant though.

Apparently buying your gf(now wife) a colouring book and pencils to keep her happy while you play Eve Online is considered bad. I so I am told. Often.

shellshock7 · 12/01/2013 23:17

Yep! Being a kid was boss.... Being a mum is too Grin

SpringtimeForHitler · 12/01/2013 23:21

God I had totally forgotten about those, loved them.

Nellabutterfly · 12/01/2013 23:24

Meant to say... will that do for you McPhee? Grin

sleepyhead · 12/01/2013 23:25

Anyone remember the Altair pattern books?

I'm gonna get me one Grin. I used to spend hours with these.

...and when you get bored of colouring-in, there are paper dress-up doll books for grown-ups too. Eg, Adele, Blondie, Rihanna etc.

Have a look on google images. I often print off something to colour in.

Yeah sleepy loved all this shit Grin

Blottedcopybook · 12/01/2013 23:30

Are you kidding? I do colouring in for a living, it's awesome!

You can print off loads of colouring in sheets online too. You just can't seem to find those jumbo cheap-as-chips colouring in books that we had as kids anymore.

RibenaFiend · 12/01/2013 23:30

YANBU At all!!!

My best friend buys me colouring books and I LOVE them! I have an unnatural obsession with stationary. Nothing makes me find my calm place more than just sharpened pencils and a fresh page so GO FOR IT! I find it very very calming Grin

Nellabutterfly · 12/01/2013 23:31

Actor who was in Drive, among other films. Very easy on the eye Smile

HazeltheMcWitch · 12/01/2013 23:31

Seemingly no cocks though? Not on Amazon, anyway

blottedcopybook dunno where they're from, but my DNs colouring books are like the ones when I was a kid...I'm 33?

ihearsounds · 12/01/2013 23:37

The ones we had when we were a kid can be bought from £1 shops or similar.. But not the big chains, has to be independents. Usually hidden under piles of other books.. They also do the tubes from time to time as well.
