I will send a flurry of emails tonight, asking whether people have received books / sent books /started threads

we should be renamed the Haphazard Book Club

I bet you didn't know what you were taking on, MamaG. I'm glad you did though!

MamaG · 16/01/2008 13:21

I didn't think I could get it wrong...obviously I did

Vacua · 16/01/2008 13:29

look it absolutely was my fault

here is why:

in first email to you I said 'hello mamaG, I am sending 'the tenderness of wolves by stef penney something'

you said 'great! lovely! thanks!' or similar

then in 2nd email (because had misplaced that book) I said 'I am sending Never Let Me Go by that kazuo Japanese bloke ishigsomething'

you said 'great! thanks!'

so it is actually mostly my fault for changing choice of book and only a very small bit your fault for not emailing hastily to say 'no vacua, you must not send that one'

MamaVonG · 16/01/2008 13:31

hehe
shall we accept 50% responsibility each?

MamaVonG · 16/01/2008 13:31

Actually, no, it is all you rfault

seeker · 16/01/2008 13:37

IT'S ALL MY FAULT!

GetOrfMoiLand · 16/01/2008 13:41

Poor mamaG - you didn't know what you were getting yourself into, did you.

Change name to Numpties Book Circle

Staceym21AtLast · 16/01/2008 13:41

sorry people as i say, horrible horrible few days!

MamaVonG · 16/01/2008 13:58

Its all fine

spanielsmom · 16/01/2008 14:16

I've got loads of work to do, but thought I would just poke my nose in to see if anybody is about and I find out that in a short time you have discovered a crisis, debated and solved said crisis - and MamaG has changed her name as well. I will never keep up with MN, not fleet of foot enough.

seeker · 16/01/2008 14:19

Sorry Stacey - don't mean to hassle! Ignore me -I obviously don't have enough to occupy my mind!

BecauseImWorthIt · 16/01/2008 15:52

Just back from my 4 days at Champneys but I haven't got my book yet!

MamaVonG · 16/01/2008 16:48

Spaniel, I do name change sometimes, but its always a variation of mamaga nd I always go back

tis just a cahnge

Hee IsThere - am so glad it's not me (but blame dp personally

What will do is have a look at the books and send a new one (will let MamaG know so it's not a duplicate). So will do that at the weekend so you will have a book soon, I promise. If the other one turns up at all let me know!

Pleased that this is turning into a shambles really, is making me laugh!

sophiewd · 16/01/2008 20:34

no problem, just worried for you in case it had got lost in the post

Staceym21AtLast · 16/01/2008 23:00

MamaVonG · 17/01/2008 09:46

Sorry to hear that Stacey, hope you get through this ok

seeker · 17/01/2008 09:56

Sorry, Stacey - didn't mean to hassle you! Hope things sort themselves out for you.

ellceeell · 17/01/2008 10:18

I'm finding it quite hard to read - simply because it isnt my book and I know I've got to post it on! (Nothing to do with the actual book - just my awareness that I must not bend pages, read in the bath, drop it on the floor for dd2 to stand on ....... I've never taken so much care of a book!)

seeker · 17/01/2008 10:21

I though that at first, then it suddenly dawned on me that by the time it gets back to its owner it'll have been through 20 other pairs of hands and they won't know who drpooed it in the bath!
