My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light.

More Law in a Box

And just when Josephine was wondering what to do with herself next, twenty-one back copies and the current edition of the Weekly Law Reports arrived. It was like all her Christmases come at once: no moment in her life could ever be as exciting ever again.

Hi Josie,
So JEALOUS am I that you have been given such a SPARKLING gift, That I am more than willing to trade any or all of the following with you:
1: 786 copies of The Readers Digest;the most recent in the bundle contains a particularly useful article entitled "1001 uses for Gooseberries".
2:15 Packets of Multi Coloured Extra Large Post - It Notes.
3: A an Empty Bag of Lemon Bonbons ( well, I say empty - theres one rather hairy one stuck at the bottom; the packet is 28 years old and was found at junction 36 on the M4 last Sunday)
Can you resist such JEWELS??!
