Decode Your Teen's Text Messages!

Mobile phoneA while ago we ran a competition to win the The Wicked Book of TXT TLK which promises 'You'll become a texpert in no time'.

It's full of silly abbreviations and it's right up your teen or pre-teen's street with lots to appeal to an 11 yr-old's daft sense of humour. Better still, it's only 1.99.

Did you know that @:-[ is a vampire in a turban? Now you do. My personal favourite's the 'Cat Looking Over A Wall' __,,,^..^,,,__ geddit?

This book will make your kids giggle for hours and will make you feel ancient, out-of-touch and past-it. Beam me up, Scotty - or, as you say in txt tlk: :-)~~~~~~~~<
