yes(you need to go to specsavers!) but thanks about ds is he startingly handsome! But as my lovely ss pointed out (without malice) good looking children always go to ugly parents!

Hi Mehidismummy

Yep..I'm posting to you. What kind of things do you dislike, so I know what not to send!! Or do I just go for it and keep everything crossed??

BTW It sounds like you're not having much fun at the moment. I can send you a couple of books if you like...I always have plenty and I don't need them back

mehdismummy · 19/04/2008 19:45

hi squilly . I love most things apart from catherine cookson and that style of writing. Love love crime but read alot! Thanks very much for your offer that would be really lovely anything would be gratefully recieved

BugBearisBugBear · 19/04/2008 19:57

Mehdismummy I knew you were having husband trouble, but didn't know it was really awful . Lots of here too.

BugBearisBugBear · 19/04/2008 20:04

Missing's just re-appeared! On the 'fess up thread.

Squilly, don't worry, there is room, we'll just have to get bigger. Hold fire though.

mehdismummy · 19/04/2008 20:05

ooh thanks bug all hugs greatly welcomed

TheMadHouse · 19/04/2008 20:09

Bear - please can you w-mail me whispys address, she said it was ok promise

BugBearisBugBear · 19/04/2008 20:15

MH: done

What are you doing? Posting it back to her in disgust?

kaz33 · 19/04/2008 20:35

I'd be interested if you start another book swap club.

squilly · 19/04/2008 21:56

No problems. I can wait

I'll still send you a couple of pbs mehdismummy. A bit of escapism can be a fabulous thing when things are rough.

I find myself waking up and reading at 5 in the morning when I've got problems. Then I nod off over the pages.

It solves nothing, but perhaps insomnia. That may not be a good advert re-the kind of books I read, but hey ho.

TheMadHouse · 20/04/2008 08:56

Thanks Bear - I am posting her a cross stich to finnish - I used to do them in another life, but never finnished them

squilly, sorry I've not posted your book yet. I know, I know . I will post Saturday morning AT LATEST. Promise!

squilly · 01/05/2008 08:48

No Probs CCDB

I have 3 on the go at the moment, so I'm not desperate.

I sent one to Dinny yesterday and I sent one to Mehdismummy for fun. I don't need it back mdm, so if you hate it, you can just lob it/recycle it. I didn't have many in the genre you read, but I'll keep my eye out for some interesting or obscure ones and I'll drop one over every once in a while. Reading is so good for the soul...especially when times are rough.

Right....off to shower and brush my teeth now dh has taken lo to school! Then off to the charity shops to do a bit of booky shopping!
