Just setting us up.

Are you thinking of your books that you might be putting in? I will have a look and post mine within the next few days. - I will try harder than my awful one from last time, that none of you liked. Blush

Thanks for your message on FB, I agree with what you said and am happy to go ahead.

Have replied on FB, but not sure if we said anywhere that we usually try to post on on the 1st of the month?

Just said on FB, that I had said to post before the end of the month, if possible. I am sure I have said it along the way, but so much chat to wade through, things get missed...

I don't need the new book yet JJ I've got the one you sent me earlier this week to start after I finish the one I'm reading now, PA has sent me your book again (the one I never had time to read this time round) so I'm pretty stocked up - so no rush till the end of the month for me.

Going round to FB now.

My username:

M - for my first name
Dav - part of my surname
za - it's the www-thingy (like .uk) for South Africa.
So no big mystery, I've had it for years. Will try to post tomorrow, happy reading!

Hi Guys

I'm hoping to get my book posted tomorrow or this weekend as a busy week next week. Can I just check that I just need to send on to the person whose address I have been given, putting my name in the inside so that everyone knows whose book it is.

I'm sure thats right - just double checking as seems so long since I read the rules and haven't got time to find them all again before tomorrow.

Hope you are all well

Yes, send to the next person on the list to you, and put your name (mn name if you prefer, makes it easier) inside.

You are sending to Loler, Makingchanges.

You will soon get the hang of it and its quite exciting receiving a surprise parcel each month. I always get stupidly excited opening it!! Hmm [saddo]

Hi Loler I posted your book today. Tried to catch the post so chucked it in an envelope and ran but missed so it won't go until Monday now but you should get it mid-week.

Missy10 - Sent yours this morning so hope you get it soon. I'm very worried about my choice - but hope you enjoy reading it!

I agree with the being stupidly excited about the surprise package arriving - it tends to be the only nice thing I ever get in the post!

ESP, I am really sorry, but we are all set and organised for the next round.

Periodically there are new swaps started up here on MN, so hopefully you will be able to catch one of them soon.

I hope no-one noticed that I had gone quiet for a while........ Hmm

Well, now I can come back on and say that I have sent my book to you JJ. - had been in hiding because I thought I should lead by example and send promptly, but actually couldn't be bothered to get to the post office. Grin

Also very nervous about my choice, after the debacle last one was not liked, too much!

How is everyone else doing? Just to remind you all that books should be posted in the next few days, if they have not been sent already.

Will look forward to that PA!

Not sure what to do with my first book - Chickflit has had a few books from the last swap from me recently so doesn't want anymore just yet.

Should I just send it straight to the next person on the list at the end of this month Confused?

Or are you up for another one chickflit?

I am going to the Post office tomorrow so would be good to know what you think.

PositiveAttitude · 26/01/2011 16:54

Could you PM Chickflit, or facebook her, just to know what she wants you to do? Maybe she would like it sent so that she gets this one, or she can always have it at the end, like she has done last time round.

Could chickflit prioritise this round so that it doesn't get mixed up from the start. The last dregs of the old round aren't a priority and she can send them on as and when she's read them (with a note enclosed making it clear that they are old books catching up?)
