I'm shite too, musttidyup. Blush

My book was all finished, wrapped and ready to send on time as I said before. BUT the bloody post office is having a refit thingy and will be shut for 3 weeks! So I can't post it until I can get into town at the weekend. Sorry bumble you also deserve better from a sendee.

piebald · 09/03/2012 06:58

Well i read Acsecs book and enjoyed it . have posted on as well. Not sure if we are supposed to make up some intelligebt sounding claptrap here, but i finished it a couple of weeks ago and cant remember much-sorry

dinkystinkyandveryverybored · 09/03/2012 11:30

Shall I send some of my heavy duty drugs in your direction acsec?

bumblebeader · 09/03/2012 17:33

Don't worry afternoons. Please don't make a special trip into town to post it, I am fairly quick reader so unless you are sending on an epic novel I should be okay!

musttidyupmusttidyup · 09/03/2012 21:15

I have finally posted acsec sorry it's taken so long. I decided to get ahead of myself and send 3 books as I know I'll not get through them before next posting period. Ive forgotten how hectic life is now my mat. Leave has finished and I'm back at work a couple of days a week. Plus mumsnet takes up too much time Smile. The one with Calico in us the plug book, one is HariboJoes which is next months book (I'm sorry I didn't read it it looks interesting but not my usual thing) and the one without a name is the one you should have for March. Just realised I should e PM'd this but it's Friday night, I'm a bit pissed and I can't be arsed.
Happy weekend clunners Grin

acsec · 09/03/2012 21:25

3 books at once?! Oh my! I will endeavour to get through the 570 pages I have left of the book I'm currently reading, over the weekend so when I return I can make a start on one of them!

acsec · 11/03/2012 21:02

I have my 3 books and they all look good, especially Haribo's :) I have about 250 pages left of what I'm reading then I'll make a start on one!

Haribojoe · 12/03/2012 11:56

Am slowly progressing through my book need to get myself in gear though to make posting deadline and or arrival of Haribo 4, whichever comes first Grin

musttidyupmusttidyup · 12/03/2012 19:27

Good luck Haribo!

tillyfernackerpants · 13/03/2012 14:31

When are we posting next??

Am currently working my way through THE TOME

Haribojoe · 13/03/2012 14:58

OMG does that mean my next offering I receive will be The Tome?

Whilst here I would also like to confess that despite my initial reaction I am actually quite enjoying my current book Blush

dinkystinkyandveryverybored · 13/03/2012 16:11

Glad you're enjoying it Haribo - its clearly like marmite- you either like it or hate it! Good luck with arrival of Haribo 4 too - when is he/she due?

Acsec - up to you to say when we all post on again as you retain the reigns for this month. From past experience of clun juggling I'd advise that Schools close end of March for easter and people dont tend to get much time to read over the easter break so I'd suggest posting on mid April to let late Sendees finish their books and giving till end of May to read the April book.

acsec · 13/03/2012 22:01

Dinky - that sounds like a good call. As I have 3 clun books and half way through my own book I second that idea.

How about 11th April for next posting? Does that sit well with people - Tilly, you have The Tome? so would that be enough time for you to finish it in?

kiwijesta · 13/03/2012 23:16

11th sounds good to me, DD is now taking a 3 hour daytime nap so in the words of my Dad I need to "pull finger!" Grin

Haribojoe · 14/03/2012 11:42

Have put 11th in my diary.

If you finish the tome ahead of time Tilly then feel free to send it sooner so I can make a head start.

Haribo 4 is due 29 march, but midwife keeps saying that he's sure baby will arrive sooner than I think so watch this space Smile

dinkystinkyandveryverybored · 14/03/2012 12:01

Ooh the first clun baby - how exciting!! Hope all goes well Haribo. I sent Tilly The Tome early so hopefully she's made her way through most of it now..

tillyfernackerpants · 14/03/2012 12:07

11th is fine with me, should have finished it by then

acsec · 14/03/2012 22:24

If Haribo 4 arrives 22nd March that's my bday, if baby arrives 29th March that's my DSIL's bday :) lots of lovely people born in March!

Glad 11th April is good with you all :)

piebald · 15/03/2012 12:07

I have just realised that i dont have a book at the moment

dinkystinkyandveryverybored · 15/03/2012 12:08

You need to take it up with ESP or ask acsec for one of the 3 that have been sent to her

Haribojoe · 15/03/2012 12:15

If Haribo 4 arrives on 27 march that's my birthday, all the best birthdays are in match Grin however have seen midwife today and we've decided that we like the idea of a mothers day baby! Will be starting the eviction process Friday so watch this space Wink

AfternoonsAndCoffeespoons · 15/03/2012 17:08

So 11th April to finish current book, yeah? I've nearly finished it already so acsec am I due 3 books next month?! If so feel free to post any that you finish early if you want so I get a bit of a head start. :-)

dinkystinkyandveryverybored · 15/03/2012 17:27

one of the books acsec has is a plug one which may be going to piebald to plug a gap if esp remains MIA so could be just 2 afternoons...

acsec · 15/03/2012 20:17

Afternoons you will only get 1 book next month, I have this month's books, next month's and a plug.

Shall I send Piebald the plug? I'm not sure which it is though!

dinkystinkyandveryverybored · 16/03/2012 10:19

Bet you're relieved afternoons - I'd say just pick any acsec and PM piebald to check she hasnt had the book before..
