I work in both a library and the National Centre for Children's Books. The fact that the thread was asking "Do you still have any?" was a bit of a shock to me... whaddaya mean *still*?! I dread the day when my library has only kindles on the shelves!!    I love books and have approximately 300 in my living room. They range from my interests in history through travel, biology, art, music, politics, philosophy, fostering and a 'small' number of miscellaneous novels. I also have a few craft magazines, graphic novels and professional journals. I don't have any kind of e-reader, but perhaps I will in the future. EDIT- I think I may visit little fox's library- you have some great books there!!

I think we've all had buyers remorse at somepoint, espeically if we end up overpaying for something. I tend to get over it pretty quickly, especially when the pony shows up.
I don't think cancelling the purchase, as has been suggested is fair on the seller though and nor is asking them for a goodwill guesture because you now wish you hadn't bought it or paid so much, it's not the seller's fault.
I'm with Sarah-Bee. If you agree to buy something and then think you overspent, you should take responsibility for your mistake and go through with the transaction. Maybe you'll learn from the experience... and you can always re-sell the item if necessary. Backing out of a transaction because you 'changed your mind' is pretty flaky. And asking for a goodwill gesture is just... tacky :/

I sold a handbag and the buyer got in touch to tell me that it had a necklace (that I treasured and had lost) inside one of the tiny pockets! She sent it back to me and I was so grateful

I have three children and I love them all. They are so important to me that I would die for them. I wouldn't die for my van, or my television, or my pony collection. It's all garbage in the end. There won't be a U-haul behind my hearse. If those items are not worth dying for, they're not worth living for, either. I do feel sorry for those who deny themselves one of the most meaningful things they could ever have, but cest la vie.
Children also make you grow up and realize the world does not revolve around you. (Or, at least, it should.)
That said, I do have interests outside of my children, and I do like "stuff." I won't deny that I like "stuff." I just don't want to idolize it.
Just because someone does not want children of their own does not mean they are somehow selfish or idolize "stuff". It does not mean that your life is in any way more "meaningful" than theirs because you chose to have your own kids. I don't have children yet, but I work with them and plan to foster in the future (my partner will be fostering in a few months time). I know many wonderful, selfless people who chose to work with children but not go home to them. They have friends, family and plenty of love in their lives. They care for people of all ages and live the lives the way they should- the way they want to.

I am very greatful for them. I am greatful that they got up way early this morning to accompany me to the Yearly Booksale that began at 7 am. I've alwats gone alone to it before. That they joined me for breakfast afterwards and in the evening came home to me to play videogames. I've never experienced that ever before and now I had all this in one day! I'm so happy I'm teary eyed.

Does anyone here foster? My partner is most of the way through the process and we are likely to have our first child placed with us in September! I'd love to hear about your experiences... positive and negative. Please PM me or share below
