Haha it will be 34 when I get on my laptop, it's a right pita changing names on my iPhone.

I had a fab day thanks, in fact just said to dh offically one if the best, had s lovely day ( including a cup if tea in bed) and a lovely meal last night followed by a bottle if champagne, dd stayed at my parents last might ( first time ever) and then they came round at lunchtime for a BBQ. Hope your mum had a good day. My nan did.

I'll take a look at the agenda when I get into the laptop ( am currently in the garden with a glass of wine watching dh paint the shed) for some reason I can't seem to get the group page on my phone. I'm struggling for the next book, but am buying a new one tomorrow so as long as people don't mind a hardback I should have a brand new nook to send on.

Please remember generally my typos are due to my iPhone and gave nothing to do with wine

PositiveAttitude · 23/05/2010 19:55

I'll believe you ......

LoveBeing33 · 23/05/2010 19:57

And definetly nothing to do with the massive tiny piece of choc cake I am eating

PositiveAttitude · 23/05/2010 20:00

Wine and chocolate cake Mmmmmm Can I pop round?

LoveBeing33 · 23/05/2010 20:03

Of course you can, not sure how much would be left by the time you got off the ferry, although I would try to save some.

PositiveAttitude · 23/05/2010 20:24

Just had a cornetto, so feeling better now. Wine next. Ferries are a pain and take ages. You will defo have finished by the time i even move off my sofa!!

I'm feeling all lovely and simply knackered. Love that feeling after a busy hot day when you sit with your feet up and dont move again until bedtime.

Giro on TV, then Californian tour cycling, glass of wine, what more can a girl want.
Oh yes, DH is down field with a football with DS, out of my way and alls quiet. DDs watching TV with boyfriends.

LoveBeing34 · 24/05/2010 18:35

Sounds like a good night.

PositiveAttitude · 29/05/2010 20:18

Just to remind you all. "meeting" tomorrow evening 8pm on the facebook page.

If anyone hasnt found us yet, let me know here.

JasonIsaacsIsRatherGorgeous · 30/05/2010 15:21

See you all there!

LoveBeing34 · 30/05/2010 20:04

Just in case anyone is lurking, we are on the facebook page come on

JasonIsaacsIsRatherGorgeous · 30/05/2010 20:43

I'm back!

LoveBeing34 · 30/05/2010 20:44

blimey what is wrong with fb?

JasonIsaacsIsRatherGorgeous · 30/05/2010 20:47

I know largest website in the world and couldn't handle four people chatting. Watch MN go down now.

HC1 · 30/05/2010 20:47

I'm here.

PositiveAttitude · 30/05/2010 20:47

Id just put this one on :-

Shall I suggest we generally have chat on FB, with some "get togethers", but keep mainly to MN. What about the book reviews? I find it a bit of a pain searching for each one, so I think the reviews may be easier on this discussion board.

Is that going to be confusing?

Are we over her now?

JasonIsaacsIsRatherGorgeous · 30/05/2010 20:49

I think best over here, just because I'm trying out my new new name and FB just got too slow.

PositiveAttitude · 30/05/2010 20:49

Shall we move on to keeping the books secret.
Thought everyone?

JasonIsaacsIsRatherGorgeous · 30/05/2010 20:50

OK I'd prefer book reviews on Facebook, I had trouble finding them on here.

LoveBeing34 · 30/05/2010 20:50

I like not knowing whats being sent

loler · 30/05/2010 20:51

I'm here

I think the FB group is the best place for the reviews.

It's not too hard to remember to check both places one in a while and I'm sure there will be prompting!

HC1 · 30/05/2010 20:51

I prefer not to know - it is about the most exciting post I get!

loler · 30/05/2010 20:52

I like getting a surprise too

JasonIsaacsIsRatherGorgeous · 30/05/2010 20:52

I quite liked not knowing what was being sent but I was desperate to read the last one I've got and I did spend ages working out when I was going to get it.

Yes I vote for secret.

PositiveAttitude · 30/05/2010 20:53

I think that if they are kept secret it stops me prejudging, so have given some a go that I would have just not wanted to, and actually quite liked them.
