Cool, let's see if i can manage to send my book on time 2 months in a row Smile

dinkystinkyexpectations · 15/02/2012 10:38

Right - everyone has till 1 March to read their books (those of you with 2 books now you can read either one or both of them if you can by 1 March - and please send both books on - the recipients can then read both of them or chose one to read and then send both on). Haribo - Swampy's book isnt too long and its possible you might have read it already so hopefully gives you enough time to read it.

I know poor Clinging is ill but unless Mr Clinging said not to send anything to her in his post packages to people (did he) I think we should keep her in the clun for now (if nothing else, will hopefully give her a nice parcel to open when she gets the chance and something to read as she recuperates) so the Swap for March (sending on books in the first week of March) list goes as follows:

Bumblebeader
swampster(put down yer kindle)
ElectricSoftParade (lets see if you get another gold star for remembering Wink)
piebald
dinkystinky
tillyfernackerpants
Haribojoe
RufusSewell
kiwijesta
clingingtosanity
calico1
musttidyupmusttidyup
acsec
afternoonsandcoffeespoons

We all then have till 1 April to read our books - se

Thanks Tilly Smile

tillyfernackerpants · 14/02/2012 17:35

Haribo, attempt 2 is on its way Grin

musttidyupmusttidyup · 14/02/2012 10:33

Now that sounds more like my household Grin

Haribojoe · 14/02/2012 08:12

I wish Wink youngest is only 17 months so still naps which gives me dome downtime.

Actually with all 3 at home they do have periods where they play together nicely, and as I'm a total slattern I often sit on the sofa with a book while they play. Usually manage about 10 mins max before I'm required to sing a nursery rhyme medley, let someone prod my bump or read that's not my dragon/the gruffalo/peekaboo baby for the umpteenth time.

Wouldn't change it though Smile

musttidyupmusttidyup · 13/02/2012 19:03

Oooo when does that start happening haribo? Wink

Haribojoe · 13/02/2012 10:44

The beauty of having 3, they can look after each other Wink

Morning clun swappers, hope all our poorly members are on the mend Smile.

I would have volunteered for fat controller duties, but despite the fact I have the perfect figure for it at the moment Haribo 4 is due to make an appearance at the end of march so expect I maybe a little preoccupied.

Tilly will let you know when book arrives Grin

dinkystinkyexpectations · 12/02/2012 21:18

Should be around until early March Acsec so nothing to worry about for now but basically it is keeping track of who is meant to be sending books to who, reminding people of when to post on, nagging people to post books, rejigging the list umpteen times to plug holes and developing a gin habit as a result and just prodding things along.

acsec · 12/02/2012 21:16

dinky what do I need to do as temporary Fat Controller?

dinkystinkyexpectations · 12/02/2012 21:12

You star. Feeling all better now?

swampster · 12/02/2012 21:12

Don't worry, I've found it. Poo is winging its way to you.

swampster · 12/02/2012 21:11

Wos yer email addy?

dinkystinkyexpectations · 12/02/2012 21:10

Hurrah!! Wil pm you - ta Grin

swampster · 12/02/2012 21:10

My name is Swampster and I am a Poo Peddler. Blush

dinkystinkyexpectations · 12/02/2012 20:48

Thanks for volunteering to step into the breach acsec: you're a star. And I expect the clun huns will be on their best behaviour for the new Fat controller Grin

Offtopic - Swampy, are you still the MN peddler of Poo goes to Pooland? If so, can you email me a copy (will pm you my email address). Having difficulties to persuade D that poos are not for nappies only...

swampster · 12/02/2012 19:03
Shock
tillyfernackerpants · 12/02/2012 18:54

Swampy, I'm sorry to say that your book has succumbed to lostinpost-itis. I have got hold of another copy though so that will be going to Haribo tomorrow.

Haribo, sorry Blush

swampster · 12/02/2012 12:04

Nothing so noble, acsec. MTU is relieved to have dinky's beady eye taken off her and aimed your way.
