kipper22 · 26/02/2007 11:19

received books today thanks kaa. bumbleweed - if you don't mind i'll read stalking fiona quickly and post by the end of the week as i know you've already had all quiet on the orient express (sorry kaa, i should have said!)
i'm happy to forward all quiet... on to anyone who hasn't read it yet.

kipper, you can send it back to me, or if you have fullmoonfiend's address, she is next on the list - i think stalking fiona must be a late addition. or just send it round again ... these books will still be in the post when we're on grandmumsnet

kipper22 · 01/03/2007 12:21

i think i have fullmoonfiends address from the original list - guessing it's the one that kind of suggests her name! will post it on there.

OP posts:
nikkie · 02/03/2007 17:18

If mine wasn't the playground mafia, I am still waiting

Marscentio · 02/03/2007 17:20

You should have received more books today Kipper my lovely. Only about 6 months late

I haven't had anything to pass on for ages.... but I won't complain as I was rubbish at sending books on.

filthymindedvixen · 02/03/2007 17:25

well deduced Sherlock Kipper
(I am FullMoonFiend by the way)
and just for the record, it's Fat Moon and not 'Fatt' (it's quite a wierd enough house name already, without becoming any more surreal )

btw - how did you get your address name - something you chose or was it already named. if you can't say without revealing your rl identity, just tell me to but out

WWB - thanks for the books. i'd noticed you hadmn't been around here much, & thought you were probably busy.

KKA: It started as a joke ... years ago I was nicknamed after Frank Zappa's daughter (a quick google should provide that one) at work on account of being such a dippy hippy chick and the name stuck among friends (even though I am now terribly sophisticated and grown up now . Meanwhile, dh had a prefix Fat to his christian name among some friends(as a joke) so when we moved into our first home, some wag made us a fabby house name sign combining the two names...which we had an an ornament. Until we moved into this house, where the house was hard to find so we felt actually calling the house by this name would help postmen, delivery men etc to indentify our house. Which it does!! I'd love to know what the neighbours think

I posted my book for the 19th feb, but have not received anything yet from peachy.

there should be more books to come. actually, i'm a bit confused about this - there were about 12 of us doing this, but i seem to have read several bookls & still not got mine back. have we had so many books lost & substituted that we are now going round again?

if anyone DOES get their original back, can you shout 'bingo' please?

anyway - next posting date - Mon 19th March?

OP posts:
nikkie · 06/03/2007 20:30

Can't even remember what my book was
Did anyone identify 'The Playground Mafia'?

Peachy was sending to me, but still haven't received anything excsept the book I sent to you bresha.

I'm happy to send on a book at the next sending date though.

does anyone know what name peachy is posting under atm? i haven't seen her around but if she's become a dave or a hunker then that would explin it!

panic, we're not short of books (except for you - sorry) so don't feel obliged to add any more! i have a horrible feeling that we have none of the originals going around anymore, and that this circle will never end!

other people- anyone done any reviews lately? i have a couple to do, just wondering how things are going?

OP posts:
kipper22 · 13/03/2007 11:49

I'll add a thread for stalking fiona now!

nikkie · 13/03/2007 20:12

who sends to me now?
i am in Cumbria if that helps!
