AIBU - Books part 2

[theyoungvisiter]

as you were ladies.

Moomin.. don't go...we can just be a little more ladylike!

Yippee!

Nooooooooooo!

xpost! right. hm. AIBU? my mother has decided to try controlled crying with me. I am 10! And all I have to think about is the sound of trains, and the taste of cakes dipped in lime tea. Shoud I call childline or not?

Not at the 'ladylike' bit, at the revival of lovely game which DD and I played at the station today.

And which she thought was "unfair" because I am "so much older" I have had "more time to re-read them"!

Which is true but not particularly tactful.

oh how lovely! love my ds, who is a real reader now (my great triumph in life, if anything to do with me) but a dd! yum!

Blimey, Salome, couldn't we ease back into it to tempt lurkers?!

I will start mine:

WIBU to take home an illegal immigrant I picked up at the railway station the other day?

Now, I shall ponder yours, ... out of practice ... or brain cells.

Sorreeee! ok. thinking about yours.....

A young friend of mine has caught the eye of a much older chap - he's going in for all sorts of grand gestures (miniature icesculptures of her etc), whilst she should be concentrating on her apprenticeship. AIBU to tell her about this crush he has, and that he already has a partner?

I have a DS too but at the moment he likes biting books, and tearing them when he gets the chance.

He got at a lovely old green Penguin crime Ngaio Marsh the other day. I must love him because he's still here.

I know this one! isn't he ill and a bit feverish and your dcs are a bit put out but grow to love him as his gains health thinking bath chairs and beards here...ohh, what is it?

staying! yay!

Double yay!!

The illegal immigrant is rather cute and my DCs would probably put me out first.

he's russian or polish or something, and terribly hard done by... bugger!

minature icescultpures are throwing me, surely tis the kind of detail that sticks?

Think South American...

Oh Oh Oh, is it a little boy called David?

Oh, not David. A cute little thing that likes Marmalade perchance>

Me too. Sunny, you didn't take the chick lit suggestion seriously did you?

You haven't lost your touch. It is indeed the most famous emigrant from Darkest Peru!

phew! but there is one, isnt there, where Ma brings home a strange ill mitteleuropean? sort of railway children (maybe even railway children! must read again!)

The mini ice sculptures caused chaos on the roads - but that was nothing compared to the giant iceberg statue. And I am a bit worried about what the girl's mentor will say when she hears about this bloke - she's such an old witch.

Sorry I haven't been around for a day or two - I did look at the thread, but couldn't think either of any answers or new books so slunk away in shame until inspiration struck.

Yes! the "shabby Russian", and Perks thought he might be a "frozen viper".

Sunny, come back!

oh no, I can't have read it, else I am sure I would remember something so memorable! deprived childhood or what?
