Well I hope to meet you soon

Just a couple of thousand times - thanks wtd - I'll add it to the three copies we already have

positiveattitudeonly · 17/11/2009 17:36

Hi Loler, mine is winging its way to you!

How exciting!

WTD - OOhh The hungry Caterpillar I am looking forward to reading that one again, after a few years absence. I thought you would be sending Kim & Aggies "How Clean is your house?"

mamandomi · 17/11/2009 18:56

how clean is your house..... I say guilty here, bought it in a charity shop.... just to see how bad I was going with my housemother LOL.....

SSSHHHH, me and WTD "Met" on a good housekeeping thread here, but my house now looks like a total bomb site and I just breeze in and say Hi to everyone on there who are working hard!

I'll be too busy reading to concentrate on housework now! Just another excuse really, I have learnt more about making good excuses than about doing too much so far , but they are a nice bunch of ladies.

walkthedinosaur · 17/11/2009 20:07

POA I would love to have sent you How Clean is Your House but it is literally so well thumbed that it fell to pieces in my hand before I could send it on. However my home is now a shrine to domesticity so it has served its purpose(not).

WTD now runs off cackling in hysteria surrounded by mugs, plates and empty biscuit wrappers because it's 9.00 and she's still sitting at the computer working.

loler · 18/11/2009 18:06

PAO - I have your book.Thank you - an hour till dc in bed and I can get started!

HC - your's in in the post - had a last minute panic about what book to send, made my choice then couldn't find it. So hope everyone likes my slightly different type of book choice.

PS is it too late to say that I think I've already read the hungry caterpillar, is it the one with the butterfly at the end? (hope I didn't blow the plot!)

LoveBeingAMummy · 19/11/2009 08:20

loler - how could you

flyingcloud - Do you have it now otherwise i can send it to you just let me know

Now just need to pick which of the books to send....hmm

positiveattitudeonly · 19/11/2009 12:36

Lovebeingamummy - Is it you sending to me?

Not nagging, just a little confussled about all the organising.

Do we send it on as soon as we have finished, or after a month?

flyingcloud · 19/11/2009 14:30

Yes, sorry - I am away from home at the moment and have been travelling for the last couple of days so will try and post the book tomorrow or Saturday.

Sorry!

walkthedinosaur · 19/11/2009 15:10

Jamais I tried posting your book yesterday but after 30 mins standing in the queue I had to leave the post office to go and get the DC's I'm going to try again tomorrow - will go to a bigger post office in town. Sorry.

Seeing as you've all read the Hungry Caterpillar and that loler has given the ending away, I've changed my book choice to Peepo! It's got more of a story than Hungry Caterpillar anyway.

jamaisjedors · 19/11/2009 15:17

wtd don't worry, I was lucky the other day and timed my trip to the post office for 4.30 (end of school time).

Otherwise it can take an hour.

Will look forward to Peepo, having genuinely never read it!!!

walkthedinosaur · 20/11/2009 16:03

Jamais it's posted, but I didn't do it till 4.00 so apparently it won't leave Brittany till tomorrow morning, hopefully you should receive on Monday!

flyingcloud · 21/11/2009 11:34

Jamais I got your book - thank you so much! Can't wait to get started.

HC1 · 22/11/2009 16:10

Thanks Loler have got the book am looking forward to reading it once I get the chance.

positiveattitudeonly · 24/11/2009 07:07

Lovebeingamummy - Not received anything yet. Have you sent your book?

jamaisjedors · 24/11/2009 07:54

wtd got yours thank you - am looking forward to it - have enjoyed other stuff by the same author.

LoveBeingAMummy · 24/11/2009 09:55

positiveattitudeonly - I don't have the address to send it to, do you want to send it to me?

positiveattitudeonly · 24/11/2009 16:58

Lovebeingamummy - If you can email me your email address, I'll send you my home address as I don't CAT.
It's directioneeded at aol dot com (the middle "N" is shared between directioN and Needed, if you understand me. I will then use my proper email account to let you have my address. Thanks a lot

walkthedinosaur · 25/11/2009 15:11

Sorry, I haven't received my book yet and I can't remember who is sending to me.

positiveattitudeonly · 25/11/2009 15:37

WTD - mamandomi posted the list on 15th November and according to that she was sending to you.

walkthedinosaur · 26/11/2009 17:44

Am I the only one not to have received a book then? Wonder if it's got lost in the post.

MamanDomi are you there? I've sent you an email.

positiveattitudeonly · 26/11/2009 22:34

Not received one here either WTD.

Lovebeingamummy email me and I will give you my address. - see a couple of posts ago for my email address.

walkthedinosaur · 27/11/2009 16:30

Looks like you and I are billy no mates then POA don't really know what to do now. I've sent my book on, but don't have a book to read and won't have another to send on.

Wonder if we can do some rejigging of the group or something.

walkthedinosaur · 27/11/2009 16:33

Actually POA mamandomi sent me Lovebeingamummy's details to me by mistake so I'll forward that email on to you, it's got her email address as well, and then maybe you can contact her direct.

positiveattitudeonly · 27/11/2009 19:13

Oh dear, now I really feel like Billy no mates, your email hasn't arrived! Can you try again, or give me your email address and I will email you.
Getting a little frustrated. Has everyone abandoned this thread?
