JJ - Please have a look at your facebook message, I think I left something in one of the books and I am sort of panicking about it now!!!!

loler · 15/10/2010 21:55

hey - have you seen that salman is releasing a follow up to the book we had on the last swap?

comes out 30th Oct The first book was for his eldest son and this is for his younger one - he was interviewed on radio 4.

Hope everyone is doing well - I'm at home alone this weekend so hoping to make a start on my book.

loler · 15/10/2010 21:56

PS dying to know what's lost in a book - false eye/ canary / youngest child?

PositiveAttitude · 16/10/2010 06:24

Sorry to be so boring, it is nothing exciting, just an appointment card. I cant remember where for, who for, when, where!! Just hope I havent missed it!!

jamaisjedors · 16/10/2010 13:24

oh sorry PA, there's no card in there. I've just checked both books plus the bag a couple of times...

Oh dear, that was my last hope!!! Oh well, I am sure i will get told where I should have been at some point. Blush

Thanks for looking

jamaisjedors · 16/10/2010 20:44

oh dear! You were right to remind me to look though, I had totally forgotten.

I hate that, when you are convinced you have left something somewhere and it turns out you haven't.

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all cracking on with this month's and getting ready for posting on again over the next week????
Did everyone receive properly this month?

I hope you are all doing ok, it is all a bit quiet around here, isnt it?

Just in case anyone was mildly interested nosey here is an update on my health issues But dont feel you have to click, it all very self-indulgent. Blush

loler · 26/10/2010 12:28

woh - that sounds a pretty stressful month for you. Glad that you've found someone you feel you can trust, good luck and keep the positive attitude for the next couple of months.

jamaisjedors · 27/10/2010 13:13

Sorry that things have changed again PA, (not self-indulgent at ALL) - I was wondering where you were at.

Please keep on updating.

On a different note, I have posted a message on the wall of the fb group, could people who "lost" books last round have a look and get back to me.

thanks

How are things going for this change-over??

JJ mine will be in the post today. Sorry for the delay, I am a bit stuck in the house at the moment.

Everyone alright????

MajorPettigrew · 06/11/2010 15:16

PA - posted to you this morning, so hopefully you'll get it on Monday.

Hope you are keeping OK and not getting cabin fever.

Are you enjoying the last Stig Larrson?

HC1 · 06/11/2010 20:47

Hi

Thanks Loler received the book this morning. MP will post on Monday sorry for slight delay had a virus this week so been in survival mode.

MajorPettigrew · 06/11/2010 21:16

No problem HC.

Hope you're better now.

PositiveAttitude · 09/11/2010 11:12

JJ - really sorry I wasnt well enough to get to the post office on Friday. DH is off work on Thursday and he has a list as long as his arm of chores I NEED him to do. Your post is second on the list, so should be winging its way to you. REALLY SORRY!!!!

jamaisjedors · 09/11/2010 16:19

omg PA, I have 3 books in advance and you are sick! Please do not worry about posting me on any books for some time!!!

Has my book been received? (can't keep up with the name changes! )

PA will pop over to your health thread later for an update.

ChickFlit · 10/11/2010 09:41

Sorry JJ yes book has been received, I've just finished it actually so will be sending to Loler hopefully this week, or if not Monday deffo when the DC's are back at school.

PositiveAttitude · 10/11/2010 13:12

Right, now really confused and off to look at master copy of who sends to who.

Who are you ChickFlit? Brain not in good working order at the moment. At the best of times it doesnt take a lot to confuse me!! Confused

ChickFlit · 10/11/2010 16:20

I'm originally WTD but have a name change addiction these days. I'm sending to Loler but a bit late because I didn't get an October book I think because somebody dropped out.

Hope you're feeling OK PA am thinking of you this week.

MajorPettigrew · 11/11/2010 18:11

Got the book today HC. Thanks.

jamaisjedors · 22/11/2010 13:46

Chickflit - is the Ivy Chronicles yours? I've just finished it (am reading in the wrong order because I got 5 at once!).

OP posts:
MajorPettigrew · 03/12/2010 20:39

PA - sorry I haven't sent you the book yet - combination of new baby and snow!

I'll try and get to it at the start of next week.

Hope you are now starting to feel more like your old self and I was so chuffed to hear that everything was OK.

I'll put pics of new arrival on FB, so you can see the chunky new arrival. He's a happy chap (at the moment) and other DC adore him, so feel very lucky.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

ChickFlit · 04/12/2010 12:27

MP have seen the pics of your beautiful boy on FB, he's gorgeous and very chunky.

JJ Yes Ivy Chronicles was mine no rush sending it back.

Loler DH posted your book this week so unless snow has prevented it arriving you should probably have it by now.

Hope all is well with everyone, so good to hear you're on the mend PA.

Now we're so small a group does that mean we've nearly completed a full circuit? Should we start thinking about the next lot of books? It's gone OK this time hasn't it?

HC1 · 05/12/2010 20:38

Hi MP hope all is going well - also seen the pictures on facebook he is adorable. I haven't quite finished this month's book - sorry. Will post to you by end of week - am sure you haven't got much time for reading at the moment.
