Oooh yes please! Everything seemed to tip me over the edge today! Could do with reading about someone else losing their cool instead! Restore some flipping sanity!!!

mandes1 · 10/02/2014 18:59

Would love a copy and get some tips on possible strike action! Well if only I had the time for a strike!

I've applied for a copy of this one. It sounds like the perfect read for me at the moment.

Yes please. Pick me! I need something to cheer me up.

I love books. Especially free ones! :)

It is an instruction manual for strike action isn't it? Wink

HappyMum4 · 10/02/2014 20:05

I could do with reading this - I am constantly teetering on the edge, having been tipped over once when I kicked a potty and broke my toe!

elk4baby · 10/02/2014 20:10

Yes please! Sounds like this book would be right up my alley :). I desperately want to go on strike, but my two have formed a very strong coalition... I wonder if there's anything I can do to break tit?!

ToffeeOwnsTheSausage · 10/02/2014 20:11

Looks great!

I am reading a James Patterson at the moment so could use some light relief and feeling the pressure of motherhood and could use a laugh or ten.

elk4baby · 10/02/2014 20:11

mom2010 · 10/02/2014 20:29
