Question DO you remember having to cover all your jotters and books at school



Using wallpaper and then as you got older you used Smash Hits or other music magazines

I doodled all over mine. I was obsessed with wrestling in the late 90's so it was always WWF, and CFC related stuff all over my books.

We used wallpaper, wrapping paper, anything that worked. One girl at my school wrapped all her books in wood chip wallpaper

Yeah we would be given instructions to cover our copy books...that is what we called them in Ireland, wallpaper was always a good choice but then contact came into being does anyone remember that, sticky stuff and if you didnt get it right first time it would crease and look horrible

I got very lazy and used the plastic sleeve type ones for copies but tbh by the time Luke was in his last couple of years I didn't bother covering any books/copies at all. No idea why copy books ever needed covering in the first place
