Hiya

The following people want in:

Autumnlady
Dozymare
TheDrsWife
Bubbaz
Yorky
PinkyMinky

Any more for any more???

I think the sensible way to do it is that each person sends their book to the same person every month to avoind confusion ie:

Autumnlady to Dozymare, Dozymare to DrsWife etc etc

We could do this on a certain day every month such as the 30th or something? I am open to offers on how fast people read etc.

Let me know what you think

pinky, I hope your sickness abates soon. I had bad ms until after 20 weeks with DD; it was horrible. My Christmas lunch, when I was 16 weeks consisted of one roast parsnip, half a roast potato and a very thin slice of lamb......followed by half a humungous raspberry pavlova.

It's probably all the bire I've been eating.

CREENA email me urgently there is a solution!!!!!

Tinkerisdead · 20/05/2008 10:58

Dozymare you cant do that to us! our fuddled pregnancy brains want to know what solution there you came up with!! Im in awe of anyone who can still manage problem solving.

Sorry to chuck spanner in the works with a thousand splendid suns Daniya. I really enjoyed it too.

Autumn Lady Just got your book. the postwoman rang the bell and walked straight off down the street!!! I had to chase her in my dressing gown shouting hey hey, i think thats my book!!! Now i need to get an outfit for a wedding so do i start the book or shop? choices choices.

Creena · 20/05/2008 11:52

Oh! Oh! I've only just been able to get onto MN! I was in London all day yesterday and collapsed in a knackered heap when I got back. I'm meant to be workinh today as well so just popping in for a minute....

Dozy will email you now! Thanks everyone for trying to work out a solution - if it doesn't work out for this month, don't worry. I can wait until next month. I shall email you anwyay, Dozy!

Can't wait - am already picking out some good books to send on......!

Creena · 20/05/2008 12:00

Have emailed you Dozy!

I've got a few books that I think will make a good read, so looking forward to joining in.

Creena · 20/05/2008 12:05

Oh no! My email to you just got bounced back, Dozy!

Would it be easier if you emailed me? My address is Creena_e AT hotmail.com

bubbaz · 20/05/2008 12:35

Dozy I'm confused - Do I need to do anything for your solution???
Drswife if you find a nice wedding outfit please share with me as I have 3 this summer and am not having much luck so far!!!

drswife - glad you got it OK!! Enjoy reading. Do let me know about the outfit though as that's also a cool pastime!

to everybody - sorry I have been offline as our internet at home was down all of last week and I was off work poorly - typical, never goes down any other time!! Anyway, thanks dozymare for emailing us all with postal details you are a complete star for organising that

Fingers crossed we all keep remembering to post the book next month......!!!

twinklingfairy · 22/05/2008 23:33

Oh I am really struggling to read at the moment, I just feel ill again.
I really need to get myself to bed but I also can't really sleep.
Oh woe is me

Tinkerisdead · 23/05/2008 10:20

Twink cant you go to bed with your book and see if you fall asleep!

I know this is prob mad and Autumnlady may get offended but is anyone else reading their book but it makes them think more of the person who sent it? I dont know why but i cant help wondering if Autumnlady is like the characters in the book.Is that why she chose this one etc? I think its because this is the only time ive had a book from someone i dont know! for what its worth, im not a repressed afghan muslim if Bubbaz is wondering the same about me!

shhhhhh autumnlady, are you in publishing?as this book you sent me says its a the pre-proof read copy from publishers. Makes me feel naughty having it!

dozymare · 23/05/2008 11:46

PMSL at the Drswifwe - that means you will all think I am a mad woman who has been seduced as my book is called "The madness of a seduced woman"

DM exits stage left to go and stir the rabbit in the pot on top of the oven...
