Of Mice & Maltesers - chat thread for round five!

(136 Posts)

Looking forward to some good books. Should be interesting...

Has everyone got their last book now?
I'm going to sit the next round out - I'm working FT now, and my weekends are increasingly busy, so I don't have time to A) get to the inconvenient sorting office and B) read!

I'm happy to pass the spreadsheet with the addresses and all-important chocolate details to SLF if enough people want to continue to make it worthwhile. And, yes, Dysgu - shuffling the order is a good idea. I don't know where your books have disappeared to this round.

Hi all - I too am up for another round although have had a bit of a challenge getting books this time round. I haven't had a book in ages so have had nothing to send to you aristo

Could I suggest that the posting order is mixed around for the next round - if only so different people have to put up with me posting late and for the limited chocolate choices I tend to send smile

That's ok - it's the last book so I won't need to send it back to SLF so promptly.

I've been a bit lax at writing on the individual book threads lately, but I have a clear favourite in mind (although still one book to go).

Apologies for delay in posting AP, I will send first class tomorrow. Life just too hectic at the mo. I am posting SLF's book to you.

I think this is the last go - I now have your book AP.

I would be up for another round of books ...

I am under the impression that there should be another swap involved

Thanks,

really?! I've posted arti's original book back already. I is confused but that's not a new feeling for me...

I'll post your book tomorrow, SLF - not sure where April disappeared to! I'll need to think about the next round. I've increased my hours to FT, and it's seriously eating into my reading time!

I think we have one more book of this round to go. I've not had SLF's original book.

I am posting to you tomorrow Lola Do you have the last book for me Dysgu?

stickylittlefingers Wed 01-May-13 15:10:51

another round bites the dust!

Who is up for another round? I feel I should offer to organise this time, given arti and AP have done more than their fair share already...

Looks like it would be at least Arti, Aristo and me. Any more for any more?

Are we all ready to post on Wednesday .......

aristocat Sun 14-Apr-13 23:32:56

arti last book already? Count me in if we go again please smile

artifarti Sun 14-Apr-13 10:29:07

I think this round is coming to an end this month, isn't it? Anyone up for another round? There have been some great books this time.

Hope all are well and baby Dysgu is continuing to thrive smile My 'baby just turned one, I don't know where the time has gone!

LolaLadybird Sat 13-Apr-13 12:24:36

Itsjusta - have you started a thread for your book this time round? Can't see one but possibly I'm being a bit dim .... (it has been known smile)

LolaLadybird Sat 13-Apr-13 12:21:09

Hi AP - just a quick note to say I posted to you this morning first class so hopefully with you on Monday.

LolaLadybird Fri 12-Apr-13 16:27:40

AgentP - apologies for not posting book yet. We got back at the weekend but I've not been well this week and completely forgot about posting. Will try and make it to post office tomorrow morning but, if not, will definitely post on Monday. It is an easy read so you'll have no trouble getting through it.

Dysgu Sat 30-Mar-13 15:26:30

AP grin

Congratulations on getting him home. I've got your PM, but I'm ashamed to say I'm too drunk to understand it. blush.

I'll reply tomorrow. X

Dysgu Fri 29-Mar-13 23:15:52

Thanks for all the kind thoughts.

Have sent PM to AP re current book.

Evan came home from the hospital today - is 15 days old, 5lb 3oz and doing well. Is currently fast asleep on me but am about to try transferring him to his moses basket - fingers crossed!

Just come back on to the thread - a belated congrats to you Dysgu!

Happy Easter all

That's ok - I've got a couple to read for my RL book group. Have a lovely break.

SLF, I'll post yours tomorrow.

LolaLadybird Thu 28-Mar-13 17:31:16

Book arrived yesterday Aristo - thank you.

Apologies but I will be posting to you late this month AgentP. We are going away for a week on Saturday and I won't quite get this month's book finished before I go (in my defence I got it late!). I will post it on to you as soon as we're back though so you should get it around 10th April.

aristocat Mon 25-Mar-13 18:19:41

Lola I am posting your next book in the morning smile It is only a short one so you will finish it quickly too.

How are you Dysgu and your DS? Are you managing to read at all? Do you have the next book?

Dysgu Tue 19-Mar-13 23:29:56

I have tracked down JW - book will be mailed tomorrow.

I only thought of it as I was looking at the big bars of chocolate in the shop today...

Dysgu Tue 19-Mar-13 21:15:35

Thank you for the kind words and thoughts. DS is still in NICU and will be there for a while - they never tell you how long, just to aim for bringing them home on their due date (which is 6 weeks away!) We are hopeful that he might be out of his incubator by the end of the week - we have managed a couple of cuddles but he is jaundiced and under special lamps and also struggling to maintain his own temp outside the incubator.

I could sit and watch him all day - but can't as DDs keep me busy too!

However, not that I would necessarily have time for it - but I have not received a book yet this month sad

Has anyone seen or heard of JohnWorf? I am off to hunt her down and send a PM to check she is okay...

stickylittlefingers Fri 15-Mar-13 22:57:18

oh what lovely news! Congratulations Dysgu and family smile Quick work there, well done! Hope you are indeed getting some sleep and having a lovely time with your snuggly little boy xx
