Are you doing Expat's Guide to Love?

Wankingguideauthor · 02/02/2009 20:51

Me. Guess which one I am compiling? It is hard winnowing down the material though...

morningpaper · 02/02/2009 20:50

They are... OTHER LADY WRITERS

fryalot · 02/02/2009 20:48

other people? what is this "other people" that you speak of?

morningpaper · 02/02/2009 20:44

No, there are Other People doing the Other Books

hunkermunker · 02/02/2009 20:41

Are you doing all the books, MP?

pointydog · 02/02/2009 20:30

Do you know, I dont look at the adverts at all, squonk. They are a mild irritation in teh corner of my eye.

So I am even moire surprised to hear there were adverts for this book as I was spending many minutes, even hours, posting my rubbish.

morningpaper · 02/02/2009 19:50

yes Franny so far the fear is winning

I've got a copy but that doesn't count

I DO like the layout though, I think that is nice

And I really love the cartoon for the Special Needs chapter

fryalot · 02/02/2009 19:47

pointydog - you don't actually look at the adverts around mumsnet much, do you?

yes delicious

anyway
when will someone else other than me get a copy? so i can discuss it
cos frankly mp you can't remember a ruddy thing about it and are just posting in a haze of fear and excitement aren't you?

I am genuinely surprised I hadn't heard of this book.

Must flick through it next time I'm in a bookshop.

morningpaper · 02/02/2009 19:42

How dyou think it sits Franny alongside the other Toddler books on the market?

morningpaper · 02/02/2009 19:42

Oh dear people will say all these sorts of things to me and I will think (1) what quote wtf? and (2) Greeney LEFT?

I pay only passing attention to anything

well i think it is the nature of the beast that we are going to notice what is NOT there
i mean, however many years of a website, v. 140 pages

there is stuff LEFT OUT

i think you have done a very good job mp
that quote from greeny was the show stealer
you made me miss her all over again

pointy it SNOWED today btw

morningpaper · 02/02/2009 19:37

lots of people are THERE but not every quote is attributed

Anyone who is upset can let me know and I promise to include you in the NEXT book

fryalot · 02/02/2009 19:36

I am so excited

darned snow means I have to wait an extra week!

pointydog · 02/02/2009 19:36

oh morningpaper, you compiled it?! Goodness me. I miss so muich in my life.

pointydog · 02/02/2009 19:35

really, franny? Is the layout as good as the website?

(I'm kidding, really I am. I like the new look. I really do prefer it. Well done all.)

fryalot · 02/02/2009 19:35

that's a "no" then, because surely you would have remembered moi?

I'm sure that had I contributed, they would have published my thoughts

morningpaper · 02/02/2009 19:33

I cannot believe they are just a collection of dubious opinions and advice from mnetters.

YES that is it in a nutshell (or, 140 pages)

pointydog · 02/02/2009 19:33

yeah, franny, cut and paste a list of all posters mentioned. Then those who need to mewl in a darkened room can slip away and do so quietly before their children notice and ask why mummy's so sad.

morningpaper · 02/02/2009 19:33

You know I REALLY never notice who is saying what, so there was never an intention of 'aha, here is my list of Important People To Include' - the main aim was to represent the views of the board fairly. So I don't mind you saying 'Oooh! So and so was left out!' but I will get stressed if you say "WTF? Where is the chapter about how great Cry-It-Out is?" or sommat

not CIO obviously
