Erm, I just got back and it looks like I didn't receive my January book. So you won't be getting a new book just yet Psycho. Sorry

It's probably my fault, the postman probably just left it by the door if it didn't fit through the slot and now it's gone.

If I could somehow get to hear what it is in a discreet manner, for example CAT or email (my email address is on the big list Flame sent out) I could swiftly find a replacement, read it and send it on, and all would be well.

I havnt got my Feb book yet Flame - have you posted it?

I am concerned as my Jan book went missing and I am not sure at which end this happened.

Anyhow thanks for asking about DS1 he is fine, all healed and back as active and energetic as always.

I will be going into hospital on 27th Feb, so will try and get my next book posted out before then.

Ok, so Squilly didn't think we'd started so it isn't lost Trillian

But, she didn't get anything from Korma, so off to track her down...

Sleepyeyes posted to you

You post any books you have onto Squilly (let her know which is which). She reads yours first and posts on when she is done, and then Sleepy's. Eventually it will all shuffle about so there is about a month between the two, but we'll probably have a back log for a little while.

It will be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

12 books, 12 mothers - it was never going to go smoothly.

We are missing all 12 of the last circle I think Someone seems to have a huge pile of books!

I think last time we had one turn up in someone's car boot after a few weeks

Plus I really can't criticise... I sorted this whole pile of orders one day, posted them all, felt all righteous. A couple of days later I was putting Flameboy to bed and heard a rustle - he'd taken a parcel with a nappy to bed to cuddle! Luckily it was for NappiesGalore who was very understanding

Your nappies must be very cuddly!

FlossieT · 01/02/2009 21:04

Flame, I'm completely hooked on your book... as in, DS1 forced me to play tennis with him in the snow today (blame the Australian Open) and I actually took it to the park so I could sneak in a couple of pages while we waited for the court to be free. He was appalled (not least because some guys he knows were playing so he had to suffer the additional indignity of being caught with his weird and uncool parent, exhibiting weird and uncool behvaiour).

TrillianAstra · 01/02/2009 22:09

I'm so eager that I've been reading the posts on other people's books, trying to guess what they might be. I'm actually hopng that they are things that Ihaven't read (or even heard of) so I get to read new things and discover new authors, but it's fun trying to find the best match for the comments.

I have Twilight no3 to keep me occupied for a while now.
