Hi I have started another thread as the old one took ages to sort out. Right as far as I am concerned our newest member is Mars. Katy, I am not sure if you have added any more???

hi folks, sorry i've been away for a while

kka, have posted your book, sorry its late again.

I don't know whether i'll be able to stay part of the book club, as i'm not finishing the books, obviously i don't read fast enough! i didn't finish the last one and i haven't finished this one either, and its very frustrating and i'm unable to comment on the book threads as i don't know how they end!

I'll try to finish and post the 3rd one on time, as i can understand it will be frustrating for you too kka, not to receive your books on time!

can i just say, the book i have posted had a chunk of loose pages in the middle when i received it. now all the pages have come away from the cover. it made very difficult reading, and although i have been very careful with it, it has literally dropped to bits. I looked for another one but no luck, so I've glued it, but don't know whether it will stay glued. Hopefully it will, or by the time it gets around everybody it won't be readable.

i received my next book the other day, thank you!

kka, promise i'll post the next one on time

katyrocks · 12/07/2006 07:53

have just read down the thread a bit to catch up. I'll post the 3rd book on time, but if i don't finish it, i'll let you know that i'm dropping out so you can redo the list.

don't want to drop out, but i don't want to hold everything up for others, so i'll go.... sniff if i don't manage to get my act together lol

UCM · 12/07/2006 10:06

Tis my book. Was a new one as well.

Ok, the next posting date will be 21st July.

Anyone who doesn't want to take part anymore needs to post it on the Book Swap Part 3 thread that I am just about to administer as this one takes ages.

Have also noticed that not everyone is putting anything on the reveiws. Why? You don't have to of course but it's nice to read what everyone else thought about the book

Hi peeps i am the naughty, naughty person who held up peachy for god knows how long and will take some serious (gentle) abuse! I'm sorry peachy my head has been a right shed and computer was down and the whole world just bleeding well collapsed around me!
Didn't finish the first didn't even start the second but loved and finished the 3rd in 2 days....on top of this reading mullarkey now and you should have all the books i have been sent.
UCM thanks also for being patient and not kicking me out i would have felt like a right loser!
I have posted a review on the last book although i didn't quite have the same take as kickass-

UCM have you now started the third thread??

Thanks again guys
xx

bresha · 12/07/2006 18:26

Dewmeadow did you get the last book I sent?

dewmeadow · 12/07/2006 20:41

yes bresha - ages ago - had to finish another first but now Im well into it and really enjoying it

FrannyandZooey · 12/07/2006 20:43

Bumbleweed sends to me, she is a very prompt and efficient sender

Just finished the latest, will post review later

WelshBoris · 12/07/2006 20:50

Send it to me Franny I finished the other one quickly

FrannyandZooey · 12/07/2006 21:04

Ok Bozzer

WelshBoris · 12/07/2006 21:05

"Bozzer"???

Have I missed something?

Are we know on a building site?

Am I a middle aged man with a multitude of tattoos, beer gut, liking for strong sweet tea and bacon sandwiches?

FrannyandZooey · 12/07/2006 21:09

Yup

did you not see the memo about it?

WelshBoris · 12/07/2006 21:13

Must be under the one about the scheduled extended breastfeeing argument (bi-annual) and the "we love Greeny" campaign that failed so miserably first time round

FrannyandZooey · 12/07/2006 21:17

Now listen, Bozzer, as I have your attention, and this thread is about to expire anyway, what is all this popping at me and Greeny business? Are you being funny or are you being funny? Because you have been sticking the knife right in and I can't work out if we have actually pissed you off or what.

WelshBoris · 12/07/2006 21:20

Awwww I only did it once, and it was in that stupid thread about buttons being pushed.

Sorry Miss dont tell Greeny

FrannyandZooey · 12/07/2006 21:22

Nope nope nope

that was only the latest one

you stuck the boot in when I was getting a good kicking the other day

and something else which I can't actually remember

(just to prove I have not spent all week obsessing about this )

WelshBoris · 12/07/2006 21:26

Then I'm sorry

The one you mean is the "kids" one, I was trying to defuse the situation (didnt work)

You can handle yourself, but perhaps I should have either shut the feck up or stuck up for you

Sorry

You're the first person I wanted to tell on here about my new man, didnt want to email you though as felt like a bit of a prick. Was chuffed when you offered him round for tea and quiona biscuits

kiss kiss mwah mwah

FrannyandZooey · 12/07/2006 21:30

I tried twice there to type big snogs but my fingers weren't having it so I left it like that

Oh good, I am pleased. You should have emailed me you silly bint, I still want to hear all about it but feel like I am prying

Yes the art of diffusing a situation is perhaps one you need to work on

Attacking someone from a completely different angle for comedy purposes, when they are already being ambushed from all directions was maybe not my idea of "diffusing" the situation ]

all is forgiven (as usual)

WelshBoris · 12/07/2006 21:32

tact is not my strongest point

Someone asked me in work today if I fancied a job in the peace corp!!

Youre not prying, youre my friend.

kickassangel · 13/07/2006 15:49

is there a thread 3, can't find it! still no book!
