Whispy, no need to pull out, we'll just wait till you're all better. I hope DD2 and the rest of you are on the mend.

whispywhisp · 11/04/2008 19:34

Hi all and thank you for your kind wishes. Yes we're ok. We've had a terrible sickness and diarrhoea bug for over a week which dd2 kindly brought home from playgroup last week. DD2 simply hasn't got any better so we took her to the Drs who sent us down to hospital for tests. We are still waiting for results. Being only 4yrs old we were worried she'd go down hill but fortunately she's on the mend, albeit slowly. DD1 has just started the bug (today), I've had it and DH has got it too.

Anyway...madhouse....I managed to get to the post office today (yipee!) and have posted the book. I'm very sorry for the delay.

xxxx

Rosmerta

Just realized that for weeks and weeks I've been missing Rosmerta off the list of names. So sorry Rosmerta . I know you've been posting books though, as I've been getting them!

BugBearisBugBear · 16/04/2008 08:02

Dinny, you've got till the end of the month to post. Good holiday apart from the bug? Or did the bug ruin it totally?

Anyone who's expressed an interest in joining the book circle, I am not ignoring you. CAT me your details, if I get 12 people I will start another circle/thread.

BugBearisBugBear · 16/04/2008 22:05

FlossieTCake · 17/04/2008 10:19

Now a bit worried Rosmerta hasn't had her book...

BugBearisBugBear · 17/04/2008 12:48

I think she would have said if she didn't get it...

BugBearisBugBear · 17/04/2008 13:05

Who still doesn't have a book? Psycho? Others?

rosmerta · 17/04/2008 14:00

sorry, yes I do have my book, one of my favourites in fact

BugBearisBugBear · 19/04/2008 17:48

Squilly is going to post to Mehdismummy, as Missing's not posted and not posted on the thread for ages.

Swampster, you should post next month's book to Squilly, I will e-mail you her address.

If Squilly wants a book before then I don't mind sending one out.

Will have to try and liberate the book that Missing's gone missing with.

Psychomum5 · 19/04/2008 17:53

still no book

I get mine from mehidsmummy and she has never let me down yet, so maybe it is the post....I do know that several friends have sent cards for DD1 (b/day april 5th) that I never received, so it is a good possibility..... (faces directed at the postman as I am not happy with him rather than mehidsmummy).

grrrrrrrrrrrr

mehdismummy · 19/04/2008 18:04

i am so so so sorry. I dont know wether you aware of my home situation at mo but i have no money(long story. Please read my previous posts re dh) i promise i will get some money and post on monday. I still have not got one btw! Again sorry

squilly · 19/04/2008 18:07

Hi everyone...

I don't need a book desparately at present. I've just got 4 for my birthday, so am being kept nicely busy with those for now.

I think I read somewhere the date for sending was around 28th? Can I stick with that as I'm confusing myself about what to send!!!

I'll email details to bugbearisbugbear to make sure I'm not sending anything too rubbish/duplicating anything...

Must remember...no chick lit...no chick lit...no chick lit....

Psychomum5 · 19/04/2008 18:17

mehidsmummy.....no, am sorry.....I didn;t know that things were so bad for you ATM.....many hugs being sent if you take them

do you have the envolope that the last book came in still???

far be it from me to advocate this, but if you do, and it will go into the postbox without you needing to go into the post office, than you could maybe post it with just the smallest demonination stamp on, and I will pay this end!!!!

no idea if feasable or even recommended, but I have no way to CAT ATM, or send money for the postage which believe me I would if I could, but if you feel ok doing it then do, I really truly don;t mind paying.

mehdismummy · 19/04/2008 18:32

not your fault at all that my h is a twunt. Dont worry will post on monday. Squilly are you posting to me?

mehdismummy · 19/04/2008 18:47

Psychomum5 · 19/04/2008 19:08
