well that is nice and straightforward innit

leoleo · 15/01/2008 11:42

I am ok with a list. Has anyone recieved the book i sent? Sorry if your disappointed - I just want to check it was recieved ok.

Have we set a actual date for us to post our books so they all get there roughly the same time?

Shall we say the 15th? I'm mindful that some of you havn't received yet, but if we all try to send on 15th (give or take a day or two) that should be ok. then, if someone can't get to the PO on that day its not the ned of the world (or if its a sunday!)

Had a phonecall this morning from dd to say that a package, which looks like a book, has been delivered this morning.

However dd knew I was excited about this and has teases me - she has opened the book but refused to tell me what it was! So I have to wait until I finish work! (name change by the way, used to be kittylouise)

shoshe · 15/01/2008 13:28

I WANNA Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sophiewd · 15/01/2008 15:05

Happy to go with list.
Happy to go with 15th of the month.
Happy to go with letting people know if books arrived safely on appropriate thread.
I am just happy (caught up with all invoices, reccipts today)

leoleo · 15/01/2008 15:39

i keep worrying that i didn't put enough stamps on.....
I am sure I did. There was a ridiculous amount of stamps on there...
How embarassing if there wasn't enough

Heifer · 15/01/2008 15:53

MamaG - received your book - cheers, was that I meant to read then forgot about so excellent.

Have actually just started another book on Sunday so will start yours once I have finished that.

Am happy to send on 15th of every month..

Enjoy all

leoleo - I have received your book - there were enough stamps on it! - and when dd2 goes to bed I intend to start reading. Not my usual choice of book at all, but I am intrigued by the thought of it. Thanks

IdrisTheDragon · 15/01/2008 17:24

Aren't I sending to Vacua? At least I think I did . And I think she must have sent to Shoshe which is why shoshe may not have anything yet.

Vacua · 15/01/2008 17:38

you did! it came! it is NICE! I have already posted on your thread!

shoshe's is absolutely 100% definitely on its way, it was posted in bury straight edgemunds yesterday - I am not a skinflint but it went 2nd class, probably because I asked someone else to do it and they despaired of ever getting back the cost of postage or something (is a hardback)

but I think it should be there tomorrow at latest

GetOrfMoiLand · 15/01/2008 18:17

ellceeel - recieved your book, thanks, am so pleased cos it looks a great read! Is there a discussion thread (I can't see but that could be because I am blind!)

Start reading tonight.

Isanybodyoutthere - have you got the book I sent you yet? Sent Saturday.

(used to be kittylouise by the way)

shoshe · 15/01/2008 18:26

Vacua, thats ok love will be perfect timing DH is off on a work jolly to South Africa on Thurday for two weeks (alright for some)

leoleo · 15/01/2008 20:14

Mamag can I please please please change my book. I have sent a chick lit book and since starting this book circle I have been looking at the other threads in adult fiction and I can see chick lit is not really the type of book you admit to reading.
I can send another book first thing tomorrow morning if my lady doesn't mind and then I wont have to endure 23 months of !

I have more interesting books and I feel bad imposing my choice on others and it will be awful reading the thread saying it was shit or even worse nothing at all...

Please?

shoshe · 15/01/2008 20:34

leo, i have never read a ChickLit, (I am rather into war time things, you will probably hate mine.) and I was rather hoping there was one, I need to look at different genres.

thegrowlygus · 15/01/2008 21:08

leoleo - don't worry - I love a bit of chick lit and booker shortlisted books and anything inbetween. I think I would find the whole thing rather miserable if I was expecting some great, weighty, worthy tome every month!

Tome? Is that a word?

So really - don't worry. Now wondering what you have sent and realise that as I send to you I won't find out for TWO YEARS! Which seems an awfully long time.

.......and its all vacua's fault I was so relieved to hear from her, I just said "yes yes post it!" (or words to that effect) without checking hte list

(am kidding vac, I take full responsibility)

OP posts:
shoshe · 15/01/2008 21:17

And she calls herself an organizer

MamaG · 15/01/2008 21:18

that doesn't help

How about if Shosha sends the book back to vaua and vacua can send shos a different book? (checking with me first, natch

I could pay the excess postage if necessary?

leoleo · 15/01/2008 21:18

Well it could have been worse I could have sent black lace or mill and boon.. My mum loved mills and boon.

thegrowlygus · 15/01/2008 21:22

Oh no! And I wasn;t going to send that one until the last minute!!

Shall I send a different one to leoleo? Not a prob if you would like me to. I have 2 others stil waiting here - although DS2 (age 10mths) did rip the cover off one of them!
