HELP - there is more than 1 thread which correspondes to my recieved book.
Initials - NLMG BY KI

Which one should I use. MamaG? Anyone?

seeker · 14/01/2008 10:09

Good idea about separate section

Still no thread for my book - or comment on the thread on the book I sent. [feeling paranoid emoticon]

IdrisTheDragon · 14/01/2008 10:15

Sorry seeker - I received the book you sent and have now put a comment on the thread you started .

Was ill over the weekend and forgot about replying to that one (although I did reply here, but then realised you only knew my RL name, not my MN one).

jofeb04 · 14/01/2008 11:55

My book was sent this morning by First Class. Hopefully with you tomorrow.

IdrisTheDragon · 14/01/2008 13:00

Have posted my book, first class so it should hopefully arrive at its destination tomorrow .

Have also started a thread on it.

MamaG · 14/01/2008 13:01

Meg I've alreayd asked!
leolo I will check at home tonight and let you know

I haven't started a thread about the book I sent yet

OP posts:
Heifer · 14/01/2008 13:44

Hurry up then MamaG...... I may have finished it before you get around to starting a thread...

tis ok not received it yet - did you send it on Saturday? or is it still in DH (mates) white van..

If you did post - did you add any fairy cakes?

MamaG · 14/01/2008 13:46

oh no! Was posted first class on Saturday (by ME) - sorry, no cakes included

OP posts:
Heifer · 14/01/2008 13:52

No cakes! but you will only be sending me 1 book, so no other change of getting cakes..

Why do you think I picked YOUR book club out of the many others on MN....

shoshe · 14/01/2008 13:59

[sob][sob] I still havnt recieved one [sob[sob]

MamaG · 14/01/2008 14:12

Heifer FGS don't you undersatnd teh way t his book club works at ALL? HMM?

Next month, you'll send MY book to your person and I'll send the book I received from shosha to YOU. ETC

So, for 24 months, I'll be posting a book to you

[rolls eyes]

Shosh, relax, it will be with you tomorrow

OP posts:
Heifer · 14/01/2008 17:18

ah yes, I see.. so I will have cakes for the next 23 months then!

excellent (oh and a book of course)..

thegrowlygus · 14/01/2008 19:52

Mine not here either... [wail]

Leoleo - I started both threads - I ballsed it up royally by putting the wrong initials on the first one, so Mamag said I should do a new one with the right initials to save everyone getting the book with the added "this is the right thread, due to Growlyg being a bozo" note.

So the one with the RIGHT initials NLMG is the one to use!!

Yes I am embarrassed.

Yes I do apologise for being gormless.

Hope it is all now clear. Ish.

sophiewd · 14/01/2008 20:48

I want a book and I want one now (stamps fooft) I also apologise as I forgot to put my authors initials on mine so just the title initals.

mazzystar · 14/01/2008 20:54

I haven't sent mine yet.
Please don't kick me out
I WILL do it tommorrow

spanielsmom · 14/01/2008 20:56

Heifer

Thank you - received book and looking forward to reading it. But please, next month, can you wait until you have received MamaG's fairy cakes and send one to me. Oh, and the book.

thegrowlygus · 14/01/2008 21:40

Oh - there is another thread with my book title initials that I didn't start...does that mean that my book is going round twice? I am confused...

leoleo · 14/01/2008 22:12

that's what i meant.. the post on that thread confused me a little as well

oh well not to worry i found you anyway x

Heifer · 15/01/2008 08:50

MamaG have you done your thread for the your book choice yet ( I can't find it)

If we can't get our own thread group how about linking the threads to here so we can find them quicker?

Also how about adding to the thread when we have received the book (so the sending stops worrying)..

Lastly, how about insisting that MamaG ALWAYS send me a fairy cake (or three) with her book every month.... I promise to do a review on them for you all to read

MamaG · 15/01/2008 08:52

I haven't done it yet

I will do, today, I promise!

Justine said she will do a book clubs topic, and move all the threads (hurrah)

OK OK, will send cake with next book!

P.S. Have you SEEN the other book club's thread title? [outrage]

OP posts:
sophiewd · 15/01/2008 09:02

No book today [sigh]

MamaG · 15/01/2008 09:04

Aw Sophie I'm sure it won't be long.

would it be helpful if I posted a list, in order of who is sending to who? I didn't do this originally because I thoguht MNers would wish to remain anonymous to each other, but it occurs to me that if we start a thread with "our book", the first person to reply and say "it was shit" will be the person you sent to!

(am I making sense here?)

If everybody wants me to, I will do a list and then we know who is sending to us and we can nag them!

OP posts:
Vacua · 15/01/2008 09:06

have posted book (yesterday) well did not post it my SELF but sent deputy, she said it went 2nd class - mildly cross that didn't go 1st class but could arrive today or hopefully tomorrow

and have received my one!

do we return them to sender? only didn't think to put return address

thegrowlygus · 15/01/2008 09:14

I think we always send the book we got onto the same person that we sent the last one to. If that makes any sense.

Got my book today! Hooray!

And wierdly - like someone else put a bit ago - a friend lent me the same book ages ago and it is on my pile to read! So I will actually read it now!

seeker · 15/01/2008 09:20

Can the person who sent me the PC book please start a thread? I really want to say something about it!
