AnonyMouse_19762 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 Got it! Read it! LOVE it! Looking forward to Sharing it! Thanks Sunnyday - like someone else once said - "you've made my day Sunny!" : ) ( Also as the children did'nt get to see the completed life cycle...?!?!? this will be fun compensation ) ! Oh I am so pleased! :1b Quote
AnonyMouse_5970 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Another great book is 'It's a book' by Lane Smith - a wry take on book versus technology! I love this and regularly put it out in our lending library...for parents! Quote
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Wondered why a minimum order of £100 from The Book People - I use them sometimes - usually to buy packs of books to split for end of year pressies and have never had to spend a minimum amount........ I have no idea. Was in the office the other day talking books. Our admin person said she'd tried to order £30 worth and been told no. Maybe it's cos we're a school? Quote

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Just register under your own name then and order them as an individual? Quote
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Just register under your own name then and order them as an individual? I could but the powers that be get a bit twitchy about us claiming lots back - especially things which are more 'significant '. Might enquire though. Quote
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 what about just buying a copy from the book shop and claiming back, that way only a small sum??? Quote
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 what about just buying a copy from the book shop and claiming back, that way only a small sum??? Absolutely and we all do that for one off copies of things or even a few copies to restock shelves. But where to get 'ordinary' books as a general thing is always a bit puzzling. Quote
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 OK, so here's the thing - today I had to go into town to get my mum something from M&S, while there I thought I would spend a book token I had lurking in the bag at Waterstones - decided to buy Oi Frog @ £6.99 (buy one get one half price by the way) didn't have time to check out the other books on offer though. Next stop Essex where mum lives. After my visit to mum I went into a very big Tescos Oi Frog £3.98!! VERY CROSS person now but decide to buy another copy and will take Waterstone's one back. Got to the till, and had a £3. off your next shop coupon, so book only cost me 98p !!VERY HAPPY person now! 5 Quote

I wonder if my Tescos has it?! Just got back and today was the first time in ages I resisted walking down the book aisle! Quote
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 I wonder if my Tescos has it?! Just got back and today was the first time in ages I resisted walking down the book aisle! Might be able to get it online? This Tescos is huge - ours in my Town is called a superstore but is about a10th of the size of the one where I went and doesn't have any books in it. Quote
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Guess where I'm going to tomorrow, as the Tescos you may have visited is not far from our town. Did they have many copies? Thanks for the tip. Quote

Thanks for the tip. Yes they did today. (Pitsea, Essex). Although you may be able to order on line and collect if not. Quote
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks Panders:) I have ordered online plus a few others hee hee. Great offers with up to 50% off some books. Quote
AnonyMouse_73 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 £3.85 online at tesco and included in clubcard boost if you happen to have any lurking around. Quote
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Posted June 28, 2015 Hmmm - wish I was 'on commission'! 2 Quote
