Oh, cut n paste, cut n paste, where 4 art thou cut n paste

Ever get the feeling you,ve been had.??? I do regularly but not as much as tonight and by one of my own sons. I,m a bit brassic at the moment due to the theft of a load of cash last week and so haven't really been shopping. I know, I know its practically unheard of , but there you go,lol. Anyhow tonight, number 2 son, Our Tom, said lets go do a shop Mam, I know you haven't got any money but I have and I need to stock up. So we duly dispatched ourselves to the Supermarket where he managed to fill a large trolley, mainly with provisions for him and Maisie, with the odd thing here and there for me, and the bill was over £100, which he paid. Aww thanks Tom, I said. "No worries Mam, was the reply, you can pay me back as soon as you get paid"...!!!! ???

Many of you will know that I am, a voracious reader, and I read (like every frikkin thing I do, lol) really fast, and over the years have devoured thousands of books. So I was really interested when I found that the BBC had a list of what they considered were the top 100 books. They reckon that the average person will have read 6 on the list..??? So how will you fair..???

The ones I,ve read have got a X at the end. Tried and tried to get them in the right order to no avail. Why oh why is Blogger not allowing cut n paste anymore, cos its doing my freakin head in. I cant get content in, I cant get content out..!! Whats going on..?? Somebody put me out of my misery and explain it to me pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaase, before I attempt Hari Kari with an Inktense pencil crayon. Anyhow,so we start with the last 50, lol.
