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

Posted to the major today

jamaisjedors · 28/02/2011 20:31

ooh MajorPettigrew, I saw your (book) namesake in WHSmith yesterday and had to get it - tell me it's good?

PositiveAttitude · 28/02/2011 21:11

JJ will be posting tomorrow. Do you have any requests for anything English that you want popped inside? Hope you had a good holiday.

LoveBeing... Have you posted on?

JJ It's a very 'gentle' book.

I'm ashamed to say I never actually finished it though. The copy I had was bound incorrectly, so half way through all the pages were out of order.

I started thinking I was being thick and not following the story, until I noticed the page numbers were all out of sequence. Then it was too much of a faff to keep on flicking through the book to find the next page.

I should by another copy and finish it.

Let me know if you enjoy it.

Where have you been on holiday to?
I'm dreaming of holidays, but won't be going abroad this year - big push to get the new house done. Hopefully the windows will be going in in the next few weeks. We've only be waiting for them since August. Grrrr.

Hello all!

Have to say am getting rather confused with everones nicknames this time round.

Hope everyone is well and been reading lots

mdavza am still reading chickflit's book am only managing short bursts of reading so should be sending on by the end of the week.

PositiveAttitude · 01/03/2011 22:32

I'm getting confused too Muchwanted. - although it doesn't take much for me! Hmm I keep on having to go back to the posting on list on the facebook messages to work out who is who! Blush I have always been PositiveAttitude and other than festive variations, thats what I will stay.

bobolbach - when I have finished it I can send it to you.

V. boring "holiday" here - am in the UK but actually it's been lovely, catching up with friends and family and doing touristy things.

Can't type on the qwerty keyboard anymore though so will keep this short and catch up next week.

loler · 03/03/2011 07:56

Making changes (I think!) Thanks - I got the book yesterday. Looks another good one!

5ofus · 04/03/2011 11:10

5ofus · 08/03/2011 14:28

LBADG - I posted today :)

PositiveAttitude · 08/03/2011 18:29

JJ - for some obscure reason the book I posted to you last week arrived back with me today Confused. It was battered and an apology from royal mail. Your address was mangled and so they sent it back to me!!
ANyway, it is trying again and on its second journey to you!!

OP posts:
jamaisjedors · 08/03/2011 20:16

Oh dear - well at least it hasn't gone missing! Did you only get an apology or did you get a refund on postage.

Will look out for it and let you know.

PositiveAttitude · 08/03/2011 20:27

Yes, I got a credit, to post it on again to you, so it didnt cost me twice. Smile

jamaisjedors · 08/03/2011 20:37

Glad to hear that!

PositiveAttitude · 11/03/2011 21:16

Lovebeing... Coooooeeeeeeeey!!! Any sign of a book coming my way sometime soon???

OP posts:
jamaisjedors · 12/03/2011 12:26

Got my book today thank PA. Looks like a nice easy read.

PositiveAttitude · 12/03/2011 13:31

That was quick for the second time round!!

OP posts:
PositiveAttitude · 14/03/2011 22:58

OK, folks, it does appear that we might have our first lost-in-the-post book! Lovebeing.. posted 10 days ago and I have not received. Sad I wont give up hope totally, maybe it will turn up.

Has everyone else got theirs?

OP posts:
jamaisjedors · 15/03/2011 09:02

oh dear, we were doing so well. Hope it turns up!

5ofus · 15/03/2011 22:56

Hope it does turn up. That was one of my favourites! I'm waiting for a lost-in-the-post eBay book to turn up that was ordered 10 days ago too. Perhaps there is a giant pile of lost books in the post office somewhere?

What is the plan if it doesn't arrive? Assume there's a receipt and claim from Royal Mail for a new one?

Also - LBADG could you let me know if my book to you arrived?

PositiveAttitude · 16/03/2011 06:46

5ofus I will keep you updates if /when it arrives here.

"spoke" with LBADG on FB and she has received your book. Thanks.

OP posts:
jamaisjedors · 22/03/2011 07:46

Any sign of it PA?

PositiveAttitude · 22/03/2011 10:29

Hi,

No none!! Sad

So I havent got anything to pass on this month.

LBADG is going to chase up Royal Mail and see if they will compensate, and we can get a copy off amazon to throw into the swap and eventually we will all get back on track.

Hope everyone else is and getting ready to post on next week for the start of April.

Please can I remind everyone to post on here when they have posted and when they have received, so that we can keep a close track on any potential problems?

Eagerly awaiting the next book here after having a frustrating month of not daring to start a thick book as I was expecting it to drop through my letter box any day!! {Grrrrr!!} So a month of reading "bitsy" books, which "do my 'ead in!" as my DCs would say!! Wink
