Thanks, Brenda! It was a nice day - and it did involve some reading! I didn't receive any books though - not yet, anyway :-/

this is a test to see if I can use my keyboard and tablet to compose my review and paste it in the review section

No worries about "missing" my birthday - I haven't actually posted it in the birthday thread - I generally let my birthdays slide by unannounced! Brenda was just observant to notice it on Facebook!

My current ad is for CoTD because that was the last site I visited.And only 20 books behind schedual with 2 books completed this week..ahaha. Just had a pile of comics arrive today such a shame they can't be included..Would easily read 20 comics quickly.
Lol! If you go to another site that sells things it should change the ad you see.

I bought my sister a gift on line from Peters of Kensington so now I get ads for all the the things I looked at including jewellery and handbags. Much preferable to Gladwrap lady!

Wishing your daughter a beautiful day tomorrow Sally.
Just arrived home from World Cup Netball. Just loved watching Uganda play. The girls were such fun and each of them did a little dance in the warm up. They had about 20 supporters that sat not far from us, they were mostly men and small children so I assumed they were the players husbands. They cheered and sang throughout the game. It was so good.

We always comment on how good they are. So fast and skilled.

I don't get any ads at all on my laptop, only my iPad. I wonder why would that be since I do most of my internet surfing (err, shopping) on the laptop?

I missed a few threads here this week (busy reading!) and see you've had the flu Marianne. Hope you're starting to feel better and can get totally fit and well again before your trip.

And then there was that pile of books in the mail you were itching to get your hands on......
@Marianne You're a woman after my own heart, I always miss my shower too, but thought I'd be the only one. I really miss my bed too, I have a Tempur mattress which I'd like to be buried on!And yes, taking your own pillow is an absolute must on holidays; you need a good sleep to enjoy the days. I don't go anywhere without my pillow.

And the latest is: you can't bring any of your own linen, ESPECIALLY your pillow, because of bedbugs!! If you are discovered to have your own, you will receive a $250 fine! I smuggled ours in;)
You are kidding me!!! If that's for real, I am never going away again.
