Lol I read loooads of enid blyton when I was little, my favourites were Malory Towers and Famous Five, they were brill!

 

[enola]

Me too! I adored Enid Blyton and wanted to be George from The Famous Five
I got the magazine for awhile too...oooh and Bunty magazine and the annuals, similar sort of thing, very olde worlde (but then, I did always prefer that to the 'modern' stuff lol) - anyone else remember that?

 

[kirsten1985]

Yeah I used to have bunty and another, I can't remember the name?! I always preferred that sort of stuff too, it was either that or a horse magazine, lol. I used to want to be George too! Lol!

 

[Jetters]

Yes Monkeh, you ARE weird!!!! hehehe they were TOTAL escapism books!

I loved The Famous Five (and wanted to be George too, of course) and Mallory Towers the best! Oooh, and The Mystery Of books and The Secret Seven!!!

 

[Monkeh]

Hmm.. I read horse magazines when I was little lol. Enid Blyton never really appealed to me

 

[enola]

Good morning Jetters!
Yay for The Mystery Of... books!!!
I wasn't quite as keen on The Secret Seven
Haha reminiscing...I sort of wish I'd saved a couple but I had quite a collection and sold it all for a new judo suit!
Anyone get any special Saturday fluffy post? My amber necklaces came and I loooove them, let's hope hubby loves them too!

 

[kirsten1985]

No nothing today in the post for me.

 

[Monkeh]

Nothing for me either, though all I'm waiting on now is post from the easter bunny, so that could be a couple of weeks yet.

 

[Jetters]

I got the Gro Baby from Mummy_Mi- it's sooo much softer than i'd expected!! And morning fluffs and potential fluffs! x

 

[anothersquish]

[princessellie]

i still read enid blyton books, all of them hahaha, except secret seven, they were pants, i dont know why i just didnt like them at all, i have so many, malory towers set, famous five, have read most of, whats that one with bets and fatty and larry, i love those too, the one with i cant remember his name and his monkey? and even the ones like bedtime stories you know the ones that are written for five year olds hahaha, i love them all, i always wanted to go to malory towers when i was little, kept asking my mam to send me to boarding school but she was having none of it lol, i never liked george, she did my head in...strangely enough, george is meant to be what enid blyton was like when she was little, i know that because i watched the enid blyton story on youtube, yes im obsessed lol

[princessellie]

also, according to enid blytons daughter she was a shit mam, was too interested in writing about the perfect family to actually have one apparently

I begged my mum to send me to boarding school too; I was more of a St Clare's girl though! I've actually still got all of my children's books... I have never given a book away, probably why we have NO room in our flat!

I was the same, I was ALWAYS doing something with horses/about horses, 99% of the books I had as a kid were about horses. You can have one of my horses atm...got a 3yr old in on box rest with thr biggest hole in her foot you have ever seen, massive hole in her toe and pus coming out of four places at her heel....and it STINKS. Poor pony Probably safer (and cheaper) to read about horses than own one, I am NOT looking forward to the vets bill.....

 

[Rachel_C]

I used to love horse books too - my favourites were the Jinny series and the Silver Brumby books... but I've always been scared of horses
