Icecream is bad for you, especially this late at night...I'm just bitter because we brought a lovely tub of Ben & Jerry's to a friend's house to share yesterday and they didn't serve it!

I'm thinking of getting a Kindle Touch. I spend too much money on books that take up too much space on my book shelf. Any thoughts? Does anyone have one?

My son has a sony ereader, he LOVES it. He also has a tablet yokey that also works as an ereader. For us it's great. We've an hour journey to school, he brings his ereader every day which has saved me from pulling out my hair as he used to take a billionty hours choosing books to bring each morning:D

I have the Kindle with the little keyboard on it and I cannot recommend a Kindle enough. I have bought 30 books approx. since I got it and I find I'm actually spending less on books eventhough I'm buying them more often (because I'm reading more) because you get discounts through the store and you get discounts on buying a series of books, The Hunger Games Trilogy for example. And obviously it takes up far less room than a load of books. I travel for work every few months for a week or two at a time and I don't have room to bring 2-3 books with me (I can only bring one small suitcase) so the Kindle suits me perfectly.

I know they're not for everyone, I know some people still prefer physical books and that's fair enough but the Kindle suits me.

Must also say that Amazon are brilliant to deal with. When I had my crash a couple of weeks ago, my Kindle was in my bag and got damaged, wouldn't turn on or anything. A friend of mine suggested contacting Amazon so I sent them an e-mail chancing my arm, told them what happened. Got a phone call back a few hours later from a lovely woman, said that Amazon were willing to replace my Kindle for £50. They couldn't replace it free of charge as the crash voided the warranty. That phone call took place on a Friday and by the following Tuesday I had my brand new Kindle preloaded with all my previously bought books. They also provided a pre-paid postage slip to return my broken Kindle to them. Found them just so lovely to deal with and they were so quick sending out the new one. I know they have their own reasons for being so obliging but I just think that's the way customer service should be.

Oooh, thanks for the helpful post! I'm interested in the Kindle Touch but I'll definately check out the one with the keyboard. I need to clear out my bookshelf and get a new one as it's old and currently buckling from the weight of all my books, DVDs and other misc. crap taking up too much room. That said, I'll still keep a few books for sentimental value- I have some really nice hardbacks that I can't bare to part with so it's a matter of sorting them out.
Where woulkd the best place be to buy a Kindle? I've seen them being flogged in Tescos Artane Castle... I'd buy from the Amazon.Co.Uk site but as I'll be close to an Argos in the coming days, I'm getting rather impatient.

Booked my flights to Oz today. All feeling very real all of a sudden. Very scary! But in a good way

I went to the funfair earlier and am still queasy after those waltzers. However, I am glad I was not the girl that puked all over herself and her boyfriend.

Its also my first weigh in at weightwatchers tomorrow. I am tempted to go to the mega early one, because I literally cannot wait to see how much (if any, I lost). I hope I have lost something, as I was so good the whole week.

daenerysstormborn3

The Kindle touch looks great. I bought mine in PC World. It was cheapest at the time I was looking. I'm pretty sure Tesco do them at competitive prices too. Keep an eye on websites and advertising to see who is doing the best price. I'd say they'll be fairly popular with it coming up to Summer holiday time (Amazon's new ad campaign is all about making it the perfect companion on your holiers).

Same. I didn't feel well when I got home, and I was disgusted because I was looking forward to my dinner all day!

Yeah I know what you mean. The last time I was on them I was the same. It was the first thing we went on at the funfair and I couldn't have any of the nasty sweet treats for the rest of the day

I'm curious to know if anyone has actually suffered whiplash from those? I'm sure that its the equivelent to being put into a washing machine.

Acoshla

I love waltzers! I have yet to find an amusement park ride that makes me feel sick, I even ate a foot long hot dog before I went on my first ever rollercoaster, so sure am I of my cast iron stomach

x Purple Pawprints x

The Iceberger icecream in the tub is yum!

Polloloca

I am fine with heights, being thrown up and down and all that goes with it. What gets me is constant spinning, sitting there, stunned, wondering if the actual ride has stopped or is it still going, because I am seeing stars.

Damn waltzers haha

Do any of you remember these?



They were my favourite ice cream!

No wait... the one I used to love was the one that was pink and white and had a chocolate toe....

It's in this pic

I hate fairground rides, love rollercoasters and theme parks though. just dont like being spun around, and places that are assembled overnight and run by carnies are just deathtraps.

Had a nice going-away dinner for a friend who's moving away for a job. Massive food baby. We all got together and bought her a kindle and her face was actually a picture. Like a kid at christmas.

Yellow notes rock! I have this thing for writing on legal pads, which are yellow, works wonders for being able to remember things!

And no, calorie intake is not counted in study month, or final year as a matter of fact! That's what I kept saying to myself, but now final year is coming to an end This Thursday, nutrition exam and I'm done!!!! Must go and study, must go study, someone tell me go study and get off boards! We should really set up a study group, would really work!

That study group is the worst idea in the world - we would definitely only talk about cake. And intending to study later. That's pretty much what we do here and I already shouldn't be on boards cos of study!:o

Echoing what other people are saying, I have the one with the keyboard too, I don't like touchscreens so wouldn't go for the Kindle Touch but that's just me. Also I don't think you can buy them on amazon.co.uk, when I tried I had to get if off amazon.com, but that was a little over a year ago. Probably cheaper and easier to get it in a shop tbh.

Came home tonight and instead of just going to bed or doing more study, made not one but two types of cake! Hurray! *stays up all night on a sugar high*

I'd love to go to Alton Towers this year, never been, they're building a new theme park for Paramount near where my parents live in Spain, can't wait for that to open

I love anything fast and spinny. Made the mistake of taking my mam on the waltzers one time and she freaked out so much that when the guy came round to spin us more, she actually asked him could he slow us down, morto

Just made french toast Yum!!!!

daenerysstormborn3

I'd love to go to Alton Towers and Thorpe Park and any other parks close by. I've never been on a rollercoaster (well not a big one anyway) but I know I love them!

Out Of The Night

A man I was seeing decided today that we weren't right for each other. I really liked him. I thought maybe just maybe. Silly girl. Much tears this evening

daenerysstormborn3

It's okay to have a few tears over him, totally understandable.

Were you seeing each other for long?

Just finished watching The Dark Knight and got to thinking " a cape on a motorbike probably isn't the most sensible thing to be wearing" lol, never even noticed before.

Scarinae

I am also intrigued by this Iceberger icecream! I didn't know it existed!

I love them too! I went to Disneyland with some friends a few years ago and I made them go on one of the really fast rides first, I thought it was brilliant but they were all traumatised

I've been on the ones in Disneyland and Universal Studios, Six Flags is where the real big ass ones are though. my favourite one was The Hulk, its brilliant, short though

in Disneyland the best ride is Space Mountain, especially in the Paris park, even the outside of it looks fantastic:

Ye should google The Behemoth in Canada's Wonderland, it's amazing! I had a season pass to there, omg best money I ever spent. The rides on top of the Stratosphere in Vegas are amazing too. Thinking of taking boyfriend to Thorpe Park for his birthday/anniversary, must get on that soon...

Sweet jesus that looks so cool! I watched that video with my hands in the air lol!
