I wish Wink youngest is only 17 months so still naps which gives me dome downtime.

Actually with all 3 at home they do have periods where they play together nicely, and as I'm a total slattern I often sit on the sofa with a book while they play. Usually manage about 10 mins max before I'm required to sing a nursery rhyme medley, let someone prod my bump or read that's not my dragon/the gruffalo/peekaboo baby for the umpteenth time.

Wouldn't change it though Smile

musttidyupmusttidyup · 14/02/2012 10:33

Now that sounds more like my household Grin

tillyfernackerpants · 14/02/2012 17:35

Haribo, attempt 2 is on its way Grin

Haribojoe · 14/02/2012 19:09

Thanks Tilly Smile

dinkystinkyexpectations · 15/02/2012 10:38

Right - everyone has till 1 March to read their books (those of you with 2 books now you can read either one or both of them if you can by 1 March - and please send both books on - the recipients can then read both of them or chose one to read and then send both on). Haribo - Swampy's book isnt too long and its possible you might have read it already so hopefully gives you enough time to read it.

I know poor Clinging is ill but unless Mr Clinging said not to send anything to her in his post packages to people (did he) I think we should keep her in the clun for now (if nothing else, will hopefully give her a nice parcel to open when she gets the chance and something to read as she recuperates) so the Swap for March (sending on books in the first week of March) list goes as follows:

Bumblebeader
swampster(put down yer kindle)
ElectricSoftParade (lets see if you get another gold star for remembering Wink)
piebald
dinkystinky
tillyfernackerpants
Haribojoe
RufusSewell
kiwijesta
clingingtosanity
calico1
musttidyupmusttidyup
acsec
afternoonsandcoffeespoons

We all then have till 1 April to read our books - se

Haribojoe · 15/02/2012 11:16

Cool, let's see if i can manage to send my book on time 2 months in a row Smile

acsec · 15/02/2012 11:57

I've finished my book! Go me :) Afternoons, would you like it sent early?

dinkystinkyexpectations · 15/02/2012 11:59

Arse - my post got cut off half way. Was meant to say that ACsec is going to be honorary fat controller of the clun in March when I'm dosed up on post op painkillers so all be good for her.

Tilly will send you MTU's opus next week.

acsec · 15/02/2012 12:02

I'm looking forward to being honorary Fat controller! :o

Haribojoe · 15/02/2012 12:23

Book arrived today Smile ,says inside it is swampy's, thanks Tilly.

It's one I've read so will be able to have a quick read through it to refresh my memory Grin.

At this rate i'll manage to post on time, starting to get a bit nervous that my turn for the tome is coming Confused

dinkystinkyexpectations · 15/02/2012 13:53

It is a readable Tome Haribo so nothing to worry about honest

Haribojoe · 15/02/2012 13:54
Smile
kiwijesta · 16/02/2012 07:04

Hey all, I'm the one posting to clinging so will continue to do so, was wondering though if anyone had heard from rufus as I didn't get a book from her this month.

Haribojoe · 16/02/2012 08:08

I post to rufus but haven't heard anything from her, she doesn't post that often so I presumed she just hadn't been on.
Maybe she's the latest book clun casualty Sad

kiwijesta · 16/02/2012 12:49

I'll pm her this week to check and if she's out (hopefully not!) I'll receive books from you! Smile

dinkystinkyexpectations · 16/02/2012 16:44

You weren't meant to get a bk this time round kiwi as you were in nz till Feb - think she's still about.

dinkystinkyexpectations · 22/02/2012 12:39

Right - THE TOME is in the post to you today Tilly. Hope it doesnt cripple your nice friendly postie.

I'm off for my op on Monday 27 Feb so I officially nominate ACSEC March controller from then.

EVERYONE - remember to post on all the books you have (some of you have 2 I know) to the next person week starting 1 March and to come on here on 1 March to report back on the book you've read.

dinkystinkyexpectations · 22/02/2012 16:08

Stop trembling Tilly and start doing press ups - you need to strengthen those book holding hands Wink Grin

musttidyupmusttidyup · 22/02/2012 20:55

Ok. Is now a good time to mention I have two books and have read neither (yet)? In my defence I did get them a bit late but was engrossed in another book (FYI Minette Walters devils feather good read nice bit of suspense). What shall I do? Soz. Don't tell AHTFC please

dinkystinkyexpectations · 23/02/2012 10:11

If you can read fast, pick the slimmer of the 2 books and read that MTU but please post on BOTH books the first week of March - you'll be getting a new one in March from whoever is posting to you.

Calico- if you dont hear from clinging (who I hope is better) in first week of March pop on the thread to let everyone know. Someone who has 2 books will then need to send to you the extra book they have.

tillyfernackerpants · 23/02/2012 20:22

The tome has landed

dinkystinkyexpectations · 23/02/2012 20:40

Did it cause your friendly postie to collapse under the strain Tilly? Grin

tillyfernackerpants · 23/02/2012 20:41

It wasn't him today, I think he must've gone on strike when he saw it Grin
