What are these books?

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

fryalot · 02/02/2009 19:30

pointydog · 02/02/2009 19:04

hoi hoi. I'm quite good at slavering over myself, thank you. In the privacy of my own home.

what we need is one of those mn threads where someone knowingly asks, 'o who has posted your favourite quote in The Book? Tell me, o you mite'.

And then a hoard of mnetters plough in to dribble over someone or other.

That's what we need.

pointydog · 02/02/2009 18:57

I knew nothing about the book. I know nothing about nothing. Maybe that's a good thing.

mine should have been at Waterstones today but hasn't arrived

When's the pregnancy one coming out then?

hunkermunker · 02/02/2009 18:42

"i hope there won't be bickering" - wonderfully optimistic, Franny!

Carmenere · 02/02/2009 18:42

I haven't got it (yet) but am 100% sure it is fabulous, how could it not be, it has the witty wisdom of the mners and it is complied by mp
No really, it was the pregnancy book that got me to mn and that was because it was bloody brilliant and the actual site in no way dissappointed me when I came here to investigate.
I don't expect to be in it as I don't think I contributed much to any toddler-ish bits on here, but I will still buy it because we you are all so fabulous and I will think of it as a record of my dd's early years

so has no-one else got it? or is it just me that's sad enough to order in advance and flip madly through it as soon as it arrives? what's going on? we are not normally known for our retiring and laidback nature on here i would say
i would have thought if most of us knew we might be featured in a book we would be queuing outside waterstones the night before

They have pretty flicky hair.

They don't have the complexions of people who frown at a computer screen all day do they. Surely body doubles then.

Love the way someone suddenly turned the light on 45 seconds in....

Blimey - had forgotten we'd done that - never even seen it. Yes it was summer (and the tan was fake). We do sound a bit posh don't we - Carrie always goes posh on the Telly - but if she ever meets anyone from Blackburn you can't understand a word...

morningpaper · 02/02/2009 17:29

hehehe

what lovely ARMS you have Justine

look at Carrie with her nice hair
