Congrats coco... well done you. Glad to hear of the safe arrival in the world of another bouncing boy . Take it easy. x

My March book is here Thanks, MadHouse. Got to finish the stack from the library first though....

rosmerta · 28/02/2009 08:24

Congratulations Coco!

And to you too Dr Trillian!

I have my March book but like Flossie have to finish a stack from the library first. Just reading The Other Boleyn Girl and Breaking Dawns and am really enjoying both. Does mean the dcs get ignored a little though

squilly · 03/03/2009 09:29

Congrats Coco and Dr Trillian.

I'm afraid I don't have a book still....I know these things can take a while to sort out, but just wondered whether there was a problem with our post?

rosmerta · 03/03/2009 18:09

Squilly, if you need something to read, I could post something to you & that could fill the gap in the circle?

DrTrillianAstra · 03/03/2009 20:49

That's weird Squilly, Korma was supposed to be posting to you and she was here on the 20th (just checked) saying that she would definitely get things sorted out. By now you should have had her book and the book that she got for January (Sleepyeyes' book) and be on the way to getting your March book (originally coming from Shootfromthehip).

squilly · 04/03/2009 09:37

Thanks for the offer Rosmerta. Luckily I'm rarely short of things to read thanks to our local charity shops which are quite cheap and car boot sales, which I go to quite often.

I'm just missing out on the critique part of the process, iykwim. I keep checking the threads and seeing what people are saying about the different books, but I'm not able to participate.

Then I feel like I'm not participating. As long as everyone is o.k. with me not chirping up with things I'm fine.

I know how hard it is to get things posted sometimes, so I'd hate to put korma under any pressure. If the books have been sent though, it'd be good to know. I know that the post office don't always leave cards, so parcels can be returned to the sorting office and you don't even know they attempted delivery!

If Korma could just drop me a line or update via yourself Drtrillian, that'd be grand [wallace & gromit thumbs up emoticon].

DrTrillianAstra · 04/03/2009 09:49

I haven't actually been in secret contact with Korma, I was just checking back through the thread because I remember she was here a couple of weeks ago and because if you don't get any books I don't get any more books!

squilly · 04/03/2009 10:28

Sorry...I thought you'd emailed her separately. That'll teach me to read the threads!!!

And that's a good point. I hadn't thought about the knock on effect DrT! My brain was clearly not engaged in my last post (not that it is very often of late).

Hopefully Korma will see the thread and update us.

sleepyeyes · 04/03/2009 19:14

Just a quick drop in to say will post the book on tommorow and I have already recived my 3rd book. Will do a proper comment on book 2 later just off to make curry.

psychomum5 · 04/03/2009 19:16

BandMeeting · 04/03/2009 20:12

BandMeeting · 05/03/2009 13:46

psychomum5 · 05/03/2009 14:57

congrats anyway trillian, PhD is still to be proud of

madhouse, , I keep up with flame cos she was here earlier and told me. was something on a thread about planes that prompted the change IIRC....

DrTrillianAstra · 05/03/2009 14:57

Sorry TheMadHouse yes, that's right and you have done everything you should have. (very impressive what with being in hospital and all )

I have no idea Squilly, I only managed to do studying, not kids. I came on MN for some sort-of-human company while I was at home writing up.

psychomum5 · 05/03/2009 14:59

actually I think trillian is an imposter studying what makes us all tick, and getting tips to be the best mum in the world, ever

BandMeeting · 05/03/2009 15:00

pmsl @ thread about planes!!! flight of the conchords
