OMFG, Waffle. I could co-write each and every one of these tomes. It is uncanny and actually profoundly disturbing. Er... thanks?
Brilliant!!! If you write them, I'll buy them ;-)
I would be an absolute authority and an inexhaustible source of material for books 2, 6 and 7. Not so good at 8, but only because I am not English, but French, and so fundamentally devoid of that oblique approach. I am considered quite tactful in my home land, but positively blunt in England. Go figure.
Utter genius. Btw if you're thinking about writing 6 or 8 I'm your woman. With 20 years of HR experience in Blue Chips I defy you to find anyone better.
And the reason I don't have kids is mainly cos 7 would, without doubt, be my parenting Modus Operandi
I would be interested in a cookbook- instead of 30 minute meals, how about things that take the whole day to cook and leave out an important ingredient until you are halfway through. Then your children refuse to eat it anyway and have toast.
can I put these on an Amazon wishlist? thank you!
Cheezus, I think I am probably an expert on most of these already! I'll buy the others of course to complete my winning personality.
OMG! #8 was clearly written for my husband, while #10 is my volume...
LMAO!!! I think I wrote -- or should have -- #3 and #5 and I want a copy of #9.
I would like to pre order signed (or "singed", as one of my colleagues - who is totally unaware of how stupid he is - would have it)copies of 1 5 6 8 and 10 urgently please. The same colleague without fail spells "managers" as "mangers"!) You are the best!
It's a little disturbing that I find myself drawn to each and every one of these books. You may find you have a built-in audience. But you know what, nil desperandum. I think there's a way through the mud and the mire. And 2011 just has to be better.
Sending love from the west coast.

ps my word verification is "orifyc"
Tadaa, here's a work for next 10 years!
I am up for 6 and 8.
You can interview me as an expert in proc(K)RASTINAting.
I giggled out loud at these. I'm sure if you wrote Book 1 you'd make a flipping fortune.
I am applying the tenets of a worrying no of these books to my life. Scary.
oh yes. definitely.
Number 7 is definetely up my street.
You MUST put these posts in a book and sell it! You are funnier than Dorothy Parker and Fran Lebowitz put together, but such comparisons disrespect your complete originality. Go! Do it!
You must publish your blog, you simply MUST!!!!
I have sat here pissing myself laughing (really, I have. I need to do the exercises more).
Happy New Year to all residents of Waffle Towers!
jutionSeriously, you have to write these.
I am undertaking practical exams in #2 at the moment as the other half has been a complete tosser over Christmas and New Year but still assumes he's wonderful. I can't be *bothered* to have the conversation with him frankly. Vent over, thanks for being here to give me space for it
Genius.
