Thanks Korma!

Squilly: clear your schedule, there's book-reading to be done!

Sorry things didn't go so well for you TMH.

squilly · 22/03/2009 16:28

Hi there

Sorry to hear about your failed surgery TheMadHouse. I would be feeling very, very sorry for myself too in your shoes. I just hope that Mothers Day has been good for you and that you're feeling better soon.

Korma, I didn't get any emails, so apologies for not getting back to you. I'll check my junk box; they've probably been redirected. I must put a watch on this thread as I seem to keep missing new messages (doh!)

Sad to so, no books have arrived yet but then I guess it could be Monday before they get here? I'll post online to advise as soon as they're through. I'd just finished a book this morning, so won't start the next one til the new ones arrive...That way I won't have to 'juggle' books (something I can do, but I do concentrate better when I focus on one at a time )

I'll make do with the trashy mags DH always gets me on Mums Day - Reveal and Now or something equally low-brow. I won't buy them but DH knows they are a guilty pleasure at the hairdressers and such

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend

TheMadHouse · 22/03/2009 16:36

Hi girls

Dont worry about me - I am over my self-indulgent winge

Get my stiches out in about a week and then maybe some pretend norks

Whay I am finding hard is dressing. I have gone from a GG to a flat chest and all my tops are cross overs or ones with the hem thing under the breat line

Although DH went out and got me some blue leggings and a grey tunic thing with electric on the bottom for mothers day - very trendy and not al all my ususal style. I feel a bit mutton as lamby, but he says I look fab as do the boys. Oh and they got me a lola rose butterfly pendant and choc buttons too - so I am happy mummy.

rosisdreamingofchocolate · 26/03/2009 08:30

TMH, that sounds like a lovely present. Glad you're feeling a bit happier

I've posted on my last book so Sherby, you should have it now! Must find the thread to post on.

And I've got the next one, looking forward to reading it as its my kind of genre!

squilly · 26/03/2009 22:39

I still don't have any books yet I'm afraid

Am now starting to worry if my postman has left them somewhere silly (he doesn't normally, but you never know).

squilly · 29/03/2009 09:40

I feel a bit whiney coming on here saying this, but (takes deep breath) I still haven't had the books through yet. With it being the end of March I wondered whether anything could be done to get a book to me for April?

I just feel like I'm missing out on the book club experience a little and of course, I can't pass anything on if I'm not receiving anything.

I can send Trillianastra a book from my own collection (I've just finished a corker) and I've got plenty of books to read...but the point of joining this was to read books I wouldn't normally choose.

Do you think something could be sorted for April??

Flamesparrow · 29/03/2009 09:51

Please if it hasn't already been sent, can whoever was sendign to Korma send to Squilly?

OP posts:
squilly · 29/03/2009 09:59

Thanks Flamesparrow. I'll happily send something onto Korma if she comes online and wants a book...I know how hard it gets to do fit in post office runs when family life presses in on you.

It may also be that the post is to blame. I knwo they're not that reliable at times.

Thanks anyway

TrillianAstra · 30/03/2009 11:40

So have you not had anything yet Squilly? When you should have got book number 3 by now?

squilly · 30/03/2009 16:29

I've had one book Trillianastra which I passed on a while ago.

I was under the impression that something was due around 18th, but nothing's come through. I may have been a bit premature, but I thought I'd best pipe up before the end of the month.

Am I making any sense? I'm two short if I should have had 3, but I was late participating myself, so I'd thought perhaps I was only due one.

Hopefully something will make it through

squilly · 31/03/2009 17:41

I've realised I've loused up! I sent Korma's book on today so trillian should get it tomorrow. This is the one book I've received so far.

I included an extra one. Hopefully you can use it or dispose of it as you need Trillian

TrillianEAstraEgg · 31/03/2009 17:43

Thanks! Loving all the extra bookage.

squilly · 31/03/2009 18:08

Don't feel bad TEE. I love sharing books. I'd have probably set 2 anyway. I've kept one back for next time too! If you haven't read it I think you'll like it.

shootfromthehip · 31/03/2009 18:54

Got my 4th book today- exciting stuff!

FlossieT · 31/03/2009 23:44

I've packed mine up but not posted it yet - can hopefully stop at the PO tomorrow on the way back from school run etc.

TrillianEAstraEgg · 02/04/2009 12:30

Books arrived today, thanks Squilly!

Which one is the official book circle book? Is it the blue on or the one with the woman with the ponytail?

squilly · 02/04/2009 12:41

The blue one is the official book. The woman with the ponytail is a spare!

Hope that makes sense
