I've missed out on two now. I quite like the idea, anyone else?

Are we meant to be posting our books on again? Am losing track sorry

CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 28/03/2008 19:37

Yes, it's time!

The aim is to post on the 28th-ish so that books arrive by the 1st of each month.

I'll post a list in the next couple of days so we can try and keep track of who's received books.

Afraid I am still book-less at the moment (at least from the point of view of this swap!!) so it may be a little while before I am in a position to post on.

Should I pick something else to post to Rosmerta in the meantime just to keep things going or will that just confuse things even more?

CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 30/03/2008 11:23

If you've got something in mind then you could send it Rosemerta. I think we all need to send a book, any book if need be!, every month. Thanks Flossie.

I can post on my original second choice - obviously now a bit later than the 28th, but better than waiting for me to read another one before I post.

Have to go to the Post Office to send a book from ReadItSwapIt tomorrow anyway.

Flame · 31/03/2008 09:30

Ooh forgot to post my book - will get it sorted!

TheMadHouse · 31/03/2008 10:00

Just to confirm I have posted a book each to Luna and Flossie

FlossieTCake · 31/03/2008 13:25

Thanks MadHouse! This is all going to get a bit confusing for a while, isn't it...

CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 31/03/2008 15:34

thanks MadHouse.

have you posted a book to rosmerta yet flossie? if not you could ignore my last post, wait and post one of the two that should be coming your way. i reminded Luna of your address on Friday night. that keeps all the original books in the circle.

Let us know with a YES when you receive a book.

psychomum, mehdismummy's gone away for a few days forgetting to post book, so yours will be a teeny bit late.

FlossieTCake · 31/03/2008 16:10

I haven't posted yet - was going to the post office on my way to collect DD later this afternoon - so will hang on a day or two and see what arrives in the post, if that's OK with rosmerta..?

Will mean I've skipped a month (and themadhouse's original book!) but maybe I can get it at the end of the year??

squilly · 01/04/2008 21:35

I somehow managed to miss the message that asked if I still want to join, unless I'm hallucinating from lack of wireless connection..

YES!!! I DO...Have I blown it again?????

If I can join, please let me know. I'm just off to get my switch card to get CAT'd....

I still got lots of ooks to share...

Sue.

CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 01/04/2008 21:57

squilly!

thought you'd gone all snooty and were blanking me.

we're all a bit confused on this thread as to who's in and who's out. hopefully all is soon to become clear. can you keep your eye on the thread... It'd be very handy if you've got CAT, in which case CAT me your details.

(CAT's useful for all sorts of things I've found. Eg Cod's giving away beauty products to be reviewed if you go over to Style and Beauty.)

OP posts:
squilly · 02/04/2008 09:25

I think I signed up successfully for CAT last night, but am not sure. I've just got to get the nipper over to her friends house, then it's a free day for me...yippeee!!!

I'll send my CAT details once I've figured what it was!

As for being snooty, I only do that on Wednesdays...and even then, only at that time of the month. The rest of the time I'm an SFZ...snooty free zone.

Espeak soon.

PS.... Am now salivatying at thought of free beauty products, though tbh, they're rather wasted on my strong, middle aged features

Flame · 02/04/2008 15:45

Is she???

CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 03/04/2008 09:07

I am standing by for eye creams. Hope it's an expensive unaffordable one, and not Sainsburys own brand.

OP posts:
CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 03/04/2008 09:16

right now, chivy chivy, who's had their book this month?

cocodebear
dinny
swampster
missingtheaction
mehdismummy
psychomum
flame
whispywhisp
themadhouse
lunavix YES
FlossieT YES

OP posts:
TheMadHouse · 03/04/2008 09:27

It looks like my two have received theirs - shame on me that one of them is a whole month late

rosmerta · 03/04/2008 09:29

Not had mine yet, but have posted one!

squilly · 03/04/2008 11:12

I've just unblocked my CAT thing...god that sounds weird! But hopefully, you'll know what I mean!!!!

FlossieTCake · 03/04/2008 11:19

Mine will be in the post today. I received two books (second yesterday) and had already read one of them so I'm posting that one on - may mean we've got a little bit out of synch but everyone should still get through all of them!

CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 03/04/2008 13:13

hi squilly, I've had your CAT, thank oo.

OP posts:
rosmerta · 03/04/2008 20:04

I don't think it matters Flossie, as long as everyone gets a book once a month & then we can figure out at the end who they belong to!

Flame · 03/04/2008 20:32

I'm crap - sorry!!! I will try and remember tomorrow

FlossieTCake · 04/04/2008 00:47

Ok, rosmerta - have posted today, missed the last post though so it may not reach you til early next week: sorry.

I did think of one thing though - I don't know who the book I'm reading came from so am not sure which book club thread to add my thoughts to! And given I have already read 3/4 of it (it's pretty gripping) I'm going to need to do that pretty soon...

luna/madhouse: which of you posted me a hardback? And I'll try and figure it out from there :-)
