Now we are 12 !

Here is a list of everyone in our swap group -

Wheelybug
Cathcat
Caykon
Simpson
MoominMymbleandMy
TeamEdward
Lightshinesinthedarkness
S aladbomb
Itsatiggerday
Jas
Bananagirl85
Disenchanted3

So, our aim is to have a first posting on 1st September. Then we will post on 1st of each month thereafter. If we can try and stick to this (obviously 1-2 days after is ok) then we won't get a backlog. Hopefully this will be helped by having shorter books this time !!

Also, even if its just a line of two saying you hated it, or didn't read it, please post a comment on the relevant thread.

So between now and say 7 August (as I am off for 2 weeks after that) can those who haven't send me the book they have chosen.

Any questions just shout.

itsatiggerday - as the two people who are no longer in the group were together, and at the end of the chain, I think wheelybug will just close up the gap.

So, Jas will post to wheelybug in October and the rest of us will be unaffected - I think Wink

Jas · 28/09/2010 10:30

Yes you are right lightshine..... I think both the books have been replaced, so we aren't missing books, just people!

itsatiggerday · 28/09/2010 14:02

Ah, you see I knew I was a bit thick... thanks for illuminating!

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 28/09/2010 14:28

they don't call me lighshines for nothing...Grin

Wheelybug · 28/09/2010 16:00

Yes - exactly as Lightshines/Jas say ! So no effect really other than 2 books have had to be replaced and the circle is a bit shorter.

Tigger - did you get my email explaining it was your book that was one of the missing ones.

I have not long received another copy of Jas's book and started yesterday but as am already over half way through I should be finished in time. AND I have already read Tigger's book so am sending my copy on to bridge the gap so CATHCAT should get 2 books at the beginning of October.

Right, should be reading and not MN-ing.

itsatiggerday · 28/09/2010 16:43

Oh, no I didn't but never mind. Thanks for passing on your copy though.

Wheelybug · 28/09/2010 16:48

Oh sorry Tigger - I had wanted to break it to you before I put it on here. I thought it strange you hadn't replied !!

OP posts:
itsatiggerday · 28/09/2010 16:52

No worries, every chance it's my email which inexplicably spat at least 3 other emails out without telling me a week or two ago, and those are just the ones I know about. Seems back on track now though, so I've given up and written it off to the mysterious world of IT issues.

Wheelybug · 29/09/2010 13:16

I've finished Jas's book and will be posting that, and Tigger's book to Cathcat tomorrow.

Hi Jas, Saladbomb's book on it's way to you as of this morning...

MoominMymbleandMy · 01/10/2010 20:20

Caykon's book was posted first class to Team Edward today.

Shame about the two AWOL books and Fur Quits. Maybe they'll surface later on.

rocketleaf · 02/10/2010 15:49

Hi, Can I just apologise to Itsatiggerday, I have become a little mixed up and sent you team Edwards book before Lightshines, which I have just found on top of a pile of books next to the bed, even tho I could have sworn I posted it ages ago! I will post it on Monday - so sorry, if there's been any confusion! Also realised I should have put my name in mine. Obvious newb mistake.

I blame LightShine for being such a fast reader/sender that I had both at the same time! :o

itsatiggerday · 02/10/2010 16:01

Before I prove I'm really confused, can I just check - rocketleaf are you saladbomb?

And have you read both teamedwards' and lightshines' books? (So it's OK for me to keep them and post on to Jas when read, or do you need one back?)

rocketleaf · 02/10/2010 17:41

Sorry yes, yet another thing I should have mentioned, I have sieve brain at the moment! Yep, I have read them both. Hope you enjoy them!

itsatiggerday · 03/10/2010 16:11

fab, thank you :)

Jas · 04/10/2010 09:13

Thanks tigger. I recieved my next book last week.

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 04/10/2010 23:14

Sorry Blush
Will read more s-l-o-w-l-y this month Grin

Wheelybug · 05/10/2010 14:58

Fingers crossed everyone has a new book for this month (unless you've been efficient and sent them on early Grin. Let me know if you're waiting for a book or not posted yours yet (tut).

OP posts:
itsatiggerday · 05/10/2010 16:34

Haven't received either of mine yet but am still crossing my fingers that Royal Mail's just being a bit slow before having to ask saladbomb for posting details to chase wtih them....

MoominMymbleandMy · 05/10/2010 18:41

No sign of mine yet.

rocketleaf · 05/10/2010 21:33

Uh oh, tigger I definitely posted the wrong one over a week ago, the one I should have sent first hasn't been posted yet as i couldn't get to the post office this week but will DEFINITELY go tomorrow. Not sure what to do if the first one doesn't turn up as only sent it normal parcels. If it'd gone west then I'm not sure what to do. :(

This is where I think books should be for October -

Wheely - Tigger's book
Cath - Jas's book
Simpson - Wheely's book
Caykon - Cathcat's book
Moomin - Simpson's book
Team Ed - Caykon's book
Lightshines - Moomin's book
Saladbomb - Team Ed's book
Tiigerday - Lightshine's book
Jas - Saladbomb's book

I haven't heard from Simpson/Caykon/Moomin to say whether they have a book or not but otherwise all books have at least been sent.

Let's give the missing book a couple more days and if not we'll have to sort out a replacement copy (only the 3rd one by month 2 !!!).

MoominMymbleandMy · 06/10/2010 13:18

Still not here, I'm afraid.
