Brand new and shiny for all the ex-lovely mums!

Join in, join in girls.

Congratulations HC1! Lovely name, enjoy little-babyhood, mine seems to be growing so fast.

This is JJ's thread.

JJ's thread

OMG that is the first time I've ever done a link

HC - Congratulations Two boys can be very entertaining, well there's never a dull moment!

Jason - Congratulations on the link!

Right, three more to add in:
The Secret Scripture - Sebastian Barry
The Book of Evidence - John Banville
Blood River - Tim Burton

I would like to point out that a couple of these are not happy books - so I will try and find something else if they really don't appeal (don't google them though!)

Not read any of those FC. Are they gory?

I've not read those - John Banville rings a bell though, but don't want to google in case I spoil something

What else has he written?

HC - have sent your new book today - thought you might need a bit extra time to get through it.

Lovebeing.. I sent to you today.

Hope you enjoy it - I'm worried now in case you all think it's rubbish. Crap - maybe I should have gone for the other one....

Jason I sent yours this week - have you had it yet if not it will be there tomorrow - hopefully in time for your holiday!

Major - am also worried about book choice - this time is much harder than last time as I actually care that everyone likes it!

No probs Loler - I'll like yours if you like mine!

Not read them either FC. JJ no book yet and in four years, Serge the postman has never brought me a postal delivery on a Saturday, so I expect it will be here on Monday.

Grr. Sorry Jason, is Monday too late?

ahhhh - hurt all over! Have just run 3 minutes without stopping - minor exercise for some but a marathon for me - why did those c25kers not warn me about week three!?
Tell me it's easier from now on!

Not book related but don't know anyone else doing the running thing and needed to share! Maybe should start a new thread?

I found every week hard (particularly mentally!) but made it through and am still amazed at myself.

I did every "week" 3 times, but only went running twice a week usually, and sometimes only once, so it took me a while.

Try Suz's podcasts - they were a real breakthrough for me - listening to music with WORDS gives you something to concentrate on and makes the time go faster.

I haven't even got past week 2, got inundated with work so have had to spend time without the DC's working and they're too young to leave by themselves for 30 mins to go for a job. So keep it up girls, I might try your podcasts JJ I think you're right music with words will make a difference, rather than listening to your heart trying to escape from your body.

I'm not going on hols till Tuesday so that should be enough time for La Poste to come through with the goods.

Nothing book related, but feeling chuffed.

Just back from 20 week scan and everything looks fine. Baby measuring perfectly, so I've been needlessly panicing for weeks that I'm too small!

Major - congratulations! I'm sure you'll explode over the next month and start wishing you were small again! Does that mean you are due in November?

jj - Thanks for the Podcast tip - robert ullerys are OK but not loving the music!

Yes - November 18th.

Another winter baby. DP away to but the 4 x 4!! Not risking snow like this year!

buy not but a 4 x 4. That would just be weird!

Congratulations major! Great news.

Major, congrats and I got the book yesterday.

Sorry i've been quiet folks haven't been able to get my laptop to open mn for almost three weeks plus dd has turned into a monster so am very tired and can't bear to look at my phone at the mo.

Will get me book sent in the next day or two.

Congratulations Major the third book club baby, you lot need to spend more time reading!

Bugger, my book didn't arrive before I went on hols, the French take the term snail mail too literally! Hopefully it will arrive in my post box in the next three weeks and I'll be able to read it really, really quickly at the end of the month.

So sorry Jason, I sent it last Thursday, that is REALLY annoying!

Hope you are having a good holiday anyway.
