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

I love colouring in. Do it.

Love colouring, but has to be with nice crayons!

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersWife · 12/01/2013 23:14

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 23:23

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.

exexpat · 12/01/2013 23:26

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

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersWife · 12/01/2013 23:26

Should I know who Ryan Gosling is? Confused

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

McPhee - there is a sort of half way house for you, here

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersWife · 12/01/2013 23:29

I don't have a printer, or a computer either :(

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

ihearsounds · 12/01/2013 23:34

Never heard of Drive Blush is it an old thing? It might've been before my time.

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.
