I know I haven't sent any books to clingingtosanity in ages since she left the club but she may have some?

dinkystinky · 29/07/2012 11:50

Ok no message from afternoons and tilly so will rejig sending list. MTU - did you find the plug book?

dinkystinky · 31/07/2012 10:26

Ok - the swap for August goes as follows:

Bumblebeader - BOOK TO SEND - SEND TO SWAMPSTER
swampster - NO BOOK to SEND
piebald - 2 BOOKS (READ BOTH) - SEND ONE TO DINKY AND ONE TO HARIBO (HARIBO - PM PIEBALD YOUR ADDRESS)
dinkystinky- NO BOOK TO SEND
Haribojoe - BOOK TO SEND - SEND TO KIWIJESTER (KIWI PM HARIBO YOUR ADDRESS)
kiwijesta - BOOK TO SEND - SEND TO CALICO
calico1- BOOK TO SEND - SEND TO MUSTTIDY UP
musttidyupmusttidyup - ONE BOOK - SEND TO ACSEC (IF YOU HAVE A PLUG BOOK WHICH I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE AS KIWI SENT YOU THE PLUG BOOK I BUNGED IN TO FILL YET ANOTHER HOLE PLEASE SEND IT TO PIEBALD AND PM HER TO GET HER ADDRESS)
acsec - BOOK TO SEND - SEND TO BUMBLEBEADER

I hope and pray that MTU has found the plug book to send you Piebald - I seem to have put in 4 plug books to this clun which have all gone missing. Can you PM MTU your address. Am aiming for low down the list to try to ensur it isnt a book you've read already.

Havent included Rufus on this months clun loop or Tilly or Afternoons as they havent popped on the thread to confirm still in so suspect they may be away.

You have till September to read your book this time round - in September we'll probably disband the Clun (and return original books to the senders if they're still in circulation) as thread is getting v long - Swampy can then start her Childrens book clun.

dinkystinky · 31/07/2012 13:02

PS Swampy - do you want to start a new thread re childrens book clun?

Calico1 · 31/07/2012 18:22

okey dokey - I'll send my book tomorrow. I also sent out a plug book a few months ago, so there is a Bermuda triangle somewhere in the clun!

swampster · 31/07/2012 18:40

Forget the kiddies' books, I think I'm unclunnable.

This, however, has made me giggle ? a lot!

rufussewell · 01/08/2012 13:00

Hi all, have now been kicked up the ass enough times to make it onto the thread, sorry - still in the Clun, but have no book to send on this month. I send a book to Kiwi about a month ago, that was the last one I received....

dinkystinky · 01/08/2012 16:46

Hmm, where is this bermuda book triangle?!?Tilly as she's said she had a couple of books upthread and didnt send to Haribo last time so am hoping she has a couple and bobs back up

Rufus - will see if Afternoons or Tilly bob upon thread too - if they do will do mini swap list between you.

dinkystinky · 02/08/2012 13:39

ps Roar at that website Swampy!

kiwiscantfly · 02/08/2012 19:06

I'm ok not to get a book this month, tbh I'm finding it hard to keep up at the moment, books have to be very 'pg' as things about people getting hurt, especially children really upset me. I've become a real softie since DD was born Blush

dinkystinky · 02/08/2012 20:04

Kiwi - I' m similar. esp's book gave me nightmares!

dinkystinky · 03/08/2012 13:26

Kiwi - how about this for a compromise - get the book being sent to you this time round (in the rejigged clun). If you dont fancy the look of it, PM Rufus for her address and ping it on to her?

AfterGoldsandCoffeeSilvers · 06/08/2012 22:49

Blush This thread dropped off threads I'm on and I completely forgot about the clun! Also haven't received any PMs though? I sent the last book (June, I think?) but haven't sent the lastest one, I will bow out of the clun now, I think, as a) I'm crap at posting on time b) not really got the time to read like I used to and c) don't mess with the rejigged clun again! My book was the very first casualty of the clun (after the very first month Sad) so I don't need anything sending to me but who shall I send the book I've got to? If someone can let me know I'll post it in the next coule of day. Smile

dinkystinky · 07/08/2012 17:50

Hello Afternoons - nice to see you on. I sent a PM to you (but under your old name), Tilly and Rufus in July (around mid-July) to check you were all still on. You're welcome to stay in the clun but equally welcome to bow out if you'd prefer (I totally appreciate that the having to read a book and post it within a month is hard with the million and one commitments and demands on time we all have). Please could you post to Piebald (Piebald - can you pm Afternoons yr address). If you get two books Piebald, please post on to Rufus. Thanks.

AfternoonsandCoffeespoons · 07/08/2012 19:02

Hmm definitely haven't received anything. Maybe it was because of the name change, then. Was only a temporary change so I'm back with this name now, so Piebald can PM me address to send book to. Thanks, but I will bow out now. I have really enjoyed it, though (when I've managed to read the books in time!) and have read a good few books that I would never have even looked at so its been good for broadening my horizons!

musttidyupmusttidyup · 10/08/2012 20:37

Sorry I've been so rubbish. I blame it on my IPad. I have one I'm reading (swamps I think) one from last month and a plug book. I will package up tomo andnsendnearky next week.
I'm a bit over sensitive about violent stuff too so maybe kiwi etc and I should go back to Malloy towers.....

piebald · 10/08/2012 21:29

I have lost touch a bit, going away for a couple of days and promise i will post when i return.

dinkystinky · 20/08/2012 12:35

Got my book today Piebald - thanks. Has everyone else now received a book?

acsec · 21/08/2012 19:23

I have been a bad member and forgot to post book before I went away. I'm back now and will post to BumbleBeader tomorrow, sorry!

Haribojoe · 22/08/2012 07:16

Have received book, thank you and have posted mine Smile

dinkystinky · 22/08/2012 12:27

Ok - if everyone can post on during the course of this week would be good - everyone can have till end of Sept to finish reading their book - at which point we'll start a favourite kiddie book clun...

acsec · 22/08/2012 19:53

Right, I posted to Bumblebeader this morning then got 2 books from musttidyup! Am I supposed to send to Afternoons aswell? I can post 1 on as I've read it.

dinkystinky · 23/08/2012 15:05

Hi Acsec - can you post one book on to Rufus please (as Afternoons has bowed out of the clun and sent a book to Piebald but Rufus is still in and bookless). Please pm her for her address. Thank you.

acsec · 23/08/2012 18:17

Ok, will do so :)
