Been swamped like never before - it all happened at once - buying and selling a house/flat for my mum, dealing with lawyers, estate agents, surveyors, movers, builders, skip hire, utilities etc. because cos she won't/can't do it herself. Haven't finished my book but LOVING it so I ordered a second hand copy from Amazon to be sent on to missingtheaction - (I hope it has arrived). Dinny, I will get your copy back to you if you would prefer it and it survives my tortured current existence.

FlossieTCake · 09/03/2008 23:30

Coco - lie-in?? Fat chance. DS1 had a chess match so was up at 6:30. I didn't finish work til 10:30 on Fri so wasn't home til midnight, hence late night (it's OK - it was expected - I went in at 3:30 knowing it would be late!).

Glad you've had yours, rosmerta - I couldn't find any packing tape so had to use regular sellotape, and am always slightly paranoid that parcels improperly wrapped in that manner are going to snag on some vital piece of postal conveying equipment and explode...

I think we're going to have to say that if you haven't posted your book to arrive by the 15th, then you're out. Otherwise it's not fair on the other members of the Book Circle.

Worrying Whispy didn't get the book

CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 13/03/2008 13:10

have you seen whispy around on MN, flame? I did e-mail her, but she hasn't replied.

Maybe she's just getting on with reading the book and hasn't seen the thread yet!

Any sign of your books flossie T and luna?

Hurrah! Will look forward to that. Thanks for chasing everyone, Coco.

did you get the book FlossieTCake?

OP posts:
FlossieTCake · 17/03/2008 21:29

Still nothing . Sorry.

CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 18/03/2008 07:07

I'm contacting the other people who said they would be interesting in joining.

OP posts:
CocoDeBearisCocoDeBear · 21/03/2008 10:32

Ok, how about this for a plan, from the end of this month Whispy is to start posting to FlossieT.

Any newbies can fit in as and when.

Flossie, if you want I can throw another book into the mix so that you get a surprise before April. Up to you whether you can get through two surprise books in March/April!

I'll get in touch with MadHouse and Luna to find out what's going on, as it looks like MH might be sitting on two books at the moment.
