I like starting new ones - it's Freudian. I've got a drawerful of deflowered pads in a drawer, none more than half full. My one luxury - the reason I never owned a Bentley - or a #2 pencil.

Haven't used them for years. And back when I did, I used them mainly for repairs, rather than in the preventative fashion intended. Reinforcements. Haven’t used them for years.

Make a list, I'll get it together. I can see I’m going to have to put together a rather large Care Package.

They are. They are fiddly and stupid and stupid and fiddly and stupid. They take ages to put on and then they just peel off. Or they tear anyway. The bastards. Only good for stationery puns, apparently. Reinforcements are the crappest of the stationery. They are. They are fiddly and stupid and stupid and fiddly and stupid.

Have you noticed the pleasing sound made by well-bound notepads? It's like shutting the door on a Bentley. Also, You need to get people to pick the red ones out for you, Van Halen style. And people, come on - don't tell me no one got the reinforcements joke, or was that a given? I thought you would have seen the whole punchline coming.

Ever watch the Post-it-Note junkies checking out the latest pre-printed ones? (And in US Staples you can buy boxes of RED paper clips - and other colors. Staples here only have Mixed - anyone want 5 boxes of non-red paper-clips?) Oh No - and I thought I was unique. Ever watch the Post-it-Note junkies checking out the latest pre-printed ones?

I probably have enough pens and notebooks to last me for the next 5 years, but I still can't stop buying. When I can't think of anything to write, I just buy supplies instead, because it feels like the next best thing. I love stationery.

That took guts, and I want you both to know that it’s going to be OK. Plus, I've got this guy in Texas who can get Mead notepads. Wendy, Sooz, thanks for coming.

I used to go to the stationery cupboard, open it and stand there just sniffing for a bit. Slightly embarrassing in an open plan office, but there you go. I’m Wendy and I’m disgusting.
