MamaG · 15/01/2008 21:25

twofishes · 15/01/2008 21:36

[staying in corner away from the panic..] onehackedoffmama did you get the book?...even if you hated it on sight can you let me know on the thread .. thanks

thegrowlygus · 15/01/2008 21:38

and whaddya mean "without fleas"?! Doesn't everyone include a little smattering of fleas in with their book?!

You will all be delighted to hear that we are now flea free.

I think.

Vacua · 16/01/2008 07:33

argh it is actually my fault, but interesting we chose the same book out of alllll those possibilities innit

Vacua · 16/01/2008 07:33

am more than happy to send another by the way, can do it today probably

MamaG · 16/01/2008 08:43

lol Vacua at the ARGH

No, I must take responsibility as I had a list [useless emoticon]

If leoleo or Shosha can send their book back, either you or fleabag growlygus can send another?

So - leoleo and shosh, over to you!

leoleo · 16/01/2008 08:47

hi. Sorry just read the messages. I don't mind. I'd need growleys address to send back and possibly what they are donating on a seperate thread otherwise I wont be able to start another book..

leoleo · 16/01/2008 08:48

As I am here now and we can sort it out now shall I just send mine back...

MamaG · 16/01/2008 08:49

oh thank goodness you're here leo, I've been very worried! I will email you growly's address

Would you mind sending yours back to growly? I can send you both the postage money? I'm so sorry for the inconvenience everybody.

OP posts:
leoleo · 16/01/2008 08:54

I don't need the postage!! I am glad my presence has for once solved a problem rather than started one

ok send address now and i'll pop in post tomorrow at work.

and i bet you thought this would be easy enough to organise!!

MamaG · 16/01/2008 08:55

thanks leo

leoleo · 16/01/2008 08:59

i wonder if te other circles have this.
i wonder if there will be any reading

MamaG · 16/01/2008 09:00

I very much doubt the other circles get this.

They seem MUCH more organised than me

Oh FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!

Mama G & IsThereAnyobyOutThere - confession time.

IsThere - have you received your book yet (miracle if you have)

Here's the story:

Didn't post on Friday night due to pouring rain and my own personal laziness. So, Saturday morning asked DP very nicely to go to Post Office to post book (he knows how sadly excited I have been about the book club). So, trusted DP to do the job properly (big mistake as it turns out), carried on with the weekend.

Yesterday, out of interest, asked how much the book had cost to post (haven't a clue how much post costs because always put my own personal post through the mail room at work ). He says there was a monster queue of car tax people at the PO and he couldn't be arsed, so bought a book of stamps at Tesco and shoved a couple of first class ones on the jiffy bag, posted it and thought job done.

TYPICAL

Cue huge rant at DP (you can't be trusted, etc etc ad infinitum)

I don't think that book is going to go anywhere soon and if it does turn up poor IsThere is probably going to get nobbled for postage costs (oh the shame of it!)

What shall I do? Shall I post another book? IsThere - if you get asked for postage by the postman please let me know and will send a cheque.

MamaG - am sorry to cause grey hairs.

I have punished errant DP by threatening withholding sexual favours (not true really) and that I am going to tell all of mumsnet about his idiocy.

Sorry about all this!

Vacua · 16/01/2008 09:14

heh

knew this would be the right one for me - there was a bit of a typing mistake in the original thread, it said 'please only sign up if you . . . . . . . .(a few things) . . . are rubbish at posting stuff'

sophiewd · 16/01/2008 09:39

Still no book . Think by now may have got lost. could you let me know what it is so I can buy, if the other one turns up will send on (won't be going near anyshops until Friday at earliest so still have a couple of days)

thegrowlygus · 16/01/2008 10:22

OK. Will send on alternative title.
Leoleo - will send it asap although might not be til friday as I have a job interview tomorrow! Eeeek.

Will do my best so you have new reading material for the weekend. Will also start a new thread and hey, I might even try and put the RIGHT initials down first time!

shoshe · 16/01/2008 10:27

I got a book, I got a book, dances around the room

Thank You Vacua.

seeker · 16/01/2008 12:06

Does anyone know StasceyM21at last? I'd really like to read what she has to say about her book before I read it!

Vacua · 16/01/2008 12:34

yay! it has got FREE sticky bits on cover and everything!
