Journal Entry 10 by tiggsybabes from Pontefract, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, July 19, 2005

I'm struggling here as Kate admired the large numbers of piles of books on my dining room table & threw the all on the floor! She muddled up about 70 books, as I had 3 bookboxes, books for the Uncon, books for the Sheffield meet & books I'd bought in the charity shop to put in bookboxes! *arrghhhhhh*******

I'm still sorting out the last 2 bookboxes & hope to get this one up straight again today & loaded up with new books.

UPDATE 11/09/05

*arrgghhh*** I'm fated! Andy bought me a new bookcase when I was staying with my parents & has muddled all my books up "sorting them out" for me.

Will once again try & get the books together for this bookbox, take out what I want & load up to post on next week. 

Journal Entry 11 by tiggsybabes from Pontefract, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Sunday, September 11, 2005

Right, real life has intervened & my PND is not that great at the moment. I've found 8 books, but there must have been at least 10, probably more. I will not rip the whole house apart looking for them, but will make sure I send at least 10 on.

Am taking out:

I was Emelia Earhart by Jane Mendelsohn

I may well find the other books when I look through the bookshelf for what I want to put in.
