As for the book it is on my xmas list, though im not sure if santa has noticed..(mmm note to self leave larger ‘Dear Santa’ notes on the fridge).

    Right I have fanned/ slaked you on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=670055980), i continued to stalk u on twitter (http://twitter.com/the_cleof). I then told every one else to stalk you on twitter … as well as on my blog (http://cleof.blogspot.com/2009/11/what-give-away.html)

    Gosh if that is not a depderate “pick me!!” call i dont know what is!!
