I've missed out on two now. I quite like the idea, anyone else?

No problems. I can wait

I'll still send you a couple of pbs mehdismummy. A bit of escapism can be a fabulous thing when things are rough.

I find myself waking up and reading at 5 in the morning when I've got problems. Then I nod off over the pages.

It solves nothing, but perhaps insomnia. That may not be a good advert re-the kind of books I read, but hey ho.

I'd be interested if you start another book swap club.

BugBearisBugBear · 19/04/2008 20:15

MH: done

What are you doing? Posting it back to her in disgust?

TheMadHouse · 19/04/2008 20:09

mehdismummy · 19/04/2008 20:05

BugBearisBugBear · 19/04/2008 20:04

Missing's just re-appeared! On the 'fess up thread.

Squilly, don't worry, there is room, we'll just have to get bigger. Hold fire though.

BugBearisBugBear · 19/04/2008 19:57

Mehdismummy I knew you were having husband trouble, but didn't know it was really awful . Lots of here too.

mehdismummy · 19/04/2008 19:45

hi squilly . I love most things apart from catherine cookson and that style of writing. Love love crime but read alot! Thanks very much for your offer that would be really lovely anything would be gratefully recieved

squilly · 19/04/2008 19:40

Hi Mehidismummy

Yep..I'm posting to you. What kind of things do you dislike, so I know what not to send!! Or do I just go for it and keep everything crossed??

BTW It sounds like you're not having much fun at the moment. I can send you a couple of books if you like...I always have plenty and I don't need them back

mehdismummy · 19/04/2008 19:17

yes(you need to go to specsavers!) but thanks about ds is he startingly handsome! But as my lovely ss pointed out (without malice) good looking children always go to ugly parents!

Psychomum5 · 19/04/2008 19:10

you pretty good lookin tho, and your DS is utterly scrummy!

Psychomum5 · 19/04/2008 19:08

aww....shucks...fanks.

nope, no supermodel here, normal ordinary lookin here.

everyone tels us our kiddies are gorgeous, which we of course agree too each time, but I can only summise that they have taken the best of each of us that remained hidden in us IYGWIM!!!!

mehdismummy · 19/04/2008 18:47

btw physco. You produce beautiful dc. Not one but five gorgeous kids. Are you a supermodel?

mehdismummy · 19/04/2008 18:32

not your fault at all that my h is a twunt. Dont worry will post on monday. Squilly are you posting to me?

Psychomum5 · 19/04/2008 18:17

mehidsmummy.....no, am sorry.....I didn;t know that things were so bad for you ATM.....many hugs being sent if you take them

do you have the envolope that the last book came in still???

far be it from me to advocate this, but if you do, and it will go into the postbox without you needing to go into the post office, than you could maybe post it with just the smallest demonination stamp on, and I will pay this end!!!!

no idea if feasable or even recommended, but I have no way to CAT ATM, or send money for the postage which believe me I would if I could, but if you feel ok doing it then do, I really truly don;t mind paying.

squilly · 19/04/2008 18:07

Hi everyone...

I don't need a book desparately at present. I've just got 4 for my birthday, so am being kept nicely busy with those for now.

I think I read somewhere the date for sending was around 28th? Can I stick with that as I'm confusing myself about what to send!!!

I'll email details to bugbearisbugbear to make sure I'm not sending anything too rubbish/duplicating anything...

Must remember...no chick lit...no chick lit...no chick lit....

mehdismummy · 19/04/2008 18:04

i am so so so sorry. I dont know wether you aware of my home situation at mo but i have no money(long story. Please read my previous posts re dh) i promise i will get some money and post on monday. I still have not got one btw! Again sorry

Psychomum5 · 19/04/2008 17:53

still no book

I get mine from mehidsmummy and she has never let me down yet, so maybe it is the post....I do know that several friends have sent cards for DD1 (b/day april 5th) that I never received, so it is a good possibility..... (faces directed at the postman as I am not happy with him rather than mehidsmummy).

grrrrrrrrrrrr

BugBearisBugBear · 19/04/2008 17:48

Squilly is going to post to Mehdismummy, as Missing's not posted and not posted on the thread for ages.

Swampster, you should post next month's book to Squilly, I will e-mail you her address.

If Squilly wants a book before then I don't mind sending one out.

Will have to try and liberate the book that Missing's gone missing with.

rosmerta · 17/04/2008 14:00

sorry, yes I do have my book, one of my favourites in fact

BugBearisBugBear · 17/04/2008 13:05

Who still doesn't have a book? Psycho? Others?

BugBearisBugBear · 17/04/2008 12:48

I think she would have said if she didn't get it...

FlossieTCake · 17/04/2008 10:19

Now a bit worried Rosmerta hasn't had her book...

BugBearisBugBear · 16/04/2008 22:05

.

BugBearisBugBear · 16/04/2008 08:02

Dinny, you've got till the end of the month to post. Good holiday apart from the bug? Or did the bug ruin it totally?

Anyone who's expressed an interest in joining the book circle, I am not ignoring you. CAT me your details, if I get 12 people I will start another circle/thread.
