Fiammetta Thanks for your reply. I've tried looking for agencies online and there are loads. Looking through them all is time consuming. I'd much prefer if someone could recommend me one or two reputable ones. Do you know any?

Hello, I love reading and easily get through a novel a week. I used to be really proud of all the books on my shelf but eventually got fed up with the dust and ran out of space when I had kids. Now I just give books I've read away...

Fiammetta Yes I remember Beast's library it's great. In the Uk I got a part-time library job while I was doing my postgrad. It involved wheeling barrows of books around and putting them away. It was fun and well paid. 'Good luck

Fiammetta Thanks for the suggestion. We'll just enjoy the party this year. Someone once suggested me giving out envelopes for donations to a kid's charity to parents instead of them bringing presents. I wondered about this. I think our son would have been miffed not to...
