No books with the post this morning but I did manage to finish The Haven Home for Delinquent Girls. I started it last night and finished it off today. It was OK, avoided the usual themes of women's literature and whilst not particularly well written and a little confusing in parts, had something there which led me to finish it. It tells the story of three sets of women involved with the Haven home, from pregnant teenagers in 1917 to homosexual/pregnant/foul mouthed women in the 1950's and finally a disturbed young woman in 2005. It seemed a little 'themed' and there wasnt enough about some of the women to satisfy me but at least it didnt have that 'three friends' looking for the man of their dreams that infests reading material aimed at women.

On an unrelated note I managed to fix the flush on the toilet this morning by myself. It broke a couple of days ago and I have had to remove the cistern lid every time I want to flush the toilet. After a quick examine of the mechanism I managed to slide everything back together and flushed the toilet with genuine pride in my own ingenuity!
