Hi sorry about the delay in posting on book 1 I had a MC recently and wasn't able to get out much but back to normal now.

I have my second book posted my 1st book today.

Will do a book review for the 1st book.

Flame quite early 7 weeks strange but it has given me hope. At least I know I CAN get pregnant. Just been difficult because we have no doctor (apparently ALL local clinics are full) so had to rely on NHS24 and all they ever say is go to hospital.

Reading has been good for me so really enjoying my 2nd book.

TrillianAstra · 12/02/2009 18:34

That's a good way to think of it. Nearly everyone I know who has had babies has also had miscarriages. Good luck.

Flamesparrow · 12/02/2009 19:12

Having no dr must be crappy yay for being able to get pregnant though. I knew a woman online at one point who had been trying to 10 years. Finally got pregnant and lost it, now has a daughter

Cocodrillo · 12/02/2009 19:50

madhouse I had no idea that you were going for this option on top of the op you had last year. will be thinking of you.

If you do e-mail remember to use my home one (.net) not the work one (.com), as am not there this year

FlossieT · 13/02/2009 01:54

madhouse: good luck, if that is the right thing to say. Thinking of you.

Cocodrillo · 14/02/2009 12:29

book arrived today Flossie. thank you

TrillianAstra · 14/02/2009 16:17

I had email from Squilly, said she's been snowed in and had a sick child so not able to get to post office. So hopefully I should get my book 1 soonish

She didn't say anything about whether she had received any books from Korma, or if she was going to be MNing any time soon.

FlossieT · 15/02/2009 01:44

@Coco glad you've got it - I'm waiting for book someone in Hull supposedly posted to me on Monday that still hasn't shown up.... can't remember how you feel about that particular genre but I found it TOTALLY compulsive (see above).

So much for Valentine's: lovely meal abruptly terminated by DH retiring to bed with upset stomach

FlossieT · 15/02/2009 01:47

PS Trillian you're quite near me, aren't you..? Shout if you are short of reading material as I bet I can post you something
