Summerbird - I know you want this for me too! And I think it will happen if it meant to be!! Through this I am realising alot about myself and our relationship. It's not such a bad thing, because I think I'm learning something about me and about our relationship.

Anyhow, will have a good think about some books!!! I have a ton arriving as my family got me book vouchers . It's all I wanted for my birthday!

BSL x

I could do actually, i am trying to get through Pippa Lee but am halfway through so will persevere with it, have a look for something and i will too.

Glad you are feeling better today BSL, I so want this to happen to you too and am here for all the support you wish for

x

Summerbird - I didn't think of the Pam bit...but now you've said it, I totally agree! I thought that letter was so lovely too! But being very cynical, I also thought it was a bit too much like a goodbye letter for my liking! I definitely liked it enough to lend it to my SIL when I see her next!

Anyhow, do you fancy another book?? You should try to fit a few in before your PG brain kicks in too much! My sis loved reading and then got PG and couldn't finish a book! Even now she struggles a bit, but that's partly being a stay-at-mum and having a very busy baby to deal with.

dawn and crunchy DO NOT READ THIS - SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

You know what BSL by the end of the book i had forgotten about the psychic and therapist, so now you come to mention it - it was a bit of a red herring, perhaps that was well written in the way you wanted them to be something but they were nothing at all...?

Enid really freaked me out, i got quite uncomfortable reading her story, i found it unbelievable that Clayton carried on living with her after she murdered the love of his life (Patricia) and Todd, how could he just live with their assassin without sneaking off to the polioe (and of course leaving his daughter behind). Enid and Jeremy's motives were to kill Cynthia and Grace because Clayton had left everything in the will to them, thus making the will intestate. Or were you not convinced by that?

I dont think Enid would ever be happy with what she got, and i think she knew she couldnt drive Clayton away because she had this scary hold on him, i dont know some of that may be unbelievable. I liked the subtexts, at first i wasnt sure whether it was Patricia, maybe i had the same 'witness protection' idea as you.

I sussed towards the end that Rolly was giving the money to Tess but it did take a while, i did wonder that he knew more than he was letting on but i too was shocked that he killed Tess and the detective - i guess his motive was tha he didnt want to be found out about the other murder years ago (as clayton would have shopped him if Tess uncovered the truth)

I LOVED the Vince story, even though he was a nutcase i loved the stepfather loyalty towards Jane, he only helped Terry coz of Jane not because of Cyn, i dont think he would have cared otherwise, and how bizarre that he could have gone to the police with what he saw on the night and maybe eased Cyns demons years beforehand.

I did enjoy it and as i say the letter at the end made me cry as it is the type of thing my mother says to me (when she is in a good mood!!!). I would read his books again and could see that as a film. I dont think you are being harsh though, you did enjoy it but i agree there were some pointless elements to it (oh and i thought that the best mate Pam had something to do with it as she kept telling Cyn to forget it - another red herring!)

Hey Summerbird,

Given Dawn and Crunchy enough time now!

I had an inkling about Rolly too. But not enough to think he'd killed Tess and the detective. I got the feeling he kept trying to change the subject and wasn't interested...it was weird. I was sad those two got killed off, I really liked them both.

I actually thought Clayton had gone through some kind of police protection program and he took his wife and son because no one would be looking for a family of three, just a family of four. I also quite liked the book's idea that he was secret service! But it wasn't either of those two solutions...in some ways the book was good for making you really wonder...like Cyn...what happened and made yo come up with bizarre solutions, like me!

I found Enid a difficult character to understand, probably becausem despite the strange little interludes, I had no idea of her or Jeremy's motives etc. Jeremy, I kinda got, but Enid had had everything she'd wanted and needed and still did so much damage to drive Clayton away...it seemed odd. If he'd done something before, in the run up to finding Patricia, but he'd done everything to keep her happy and give her a good life. I found that weird.

Anyhow...I hated the mystic bit...what was that character for? It came to nothing. And although I know the shrink was necessary, she could have been bigger in all of this. She was helping Cyn and Terry and she'd been meeting Tess too...but all she was there for was to agree Cyn was losing the plot.

I liked it, I couldn't put it down, but I wouldn't pick it up again I don't think.

Am I being harsh??

BSL x

I kind of had an inkling about the Tess/Detective thing towards the end but didnt want to believe it but i did think that he knew more than he was letting on given the relationship. (you know who i am talking about!)

the actual twist was a surprise but quite a realistic one, i didnt want it to be too far fetched and i wasnt disappointed.

i cried at the end though! made me think about my relationship with my mother and that is exactly how she would have put it!

Hi Summerbird,

I totally agree that sometimes things don't happen easily, or you don't get what you want straight away and you appreciate them all the more when you do!! I'd definitely say that about my DH!

Anyhow, enough of the soppiness!

I've finished the book!! I couldn't stop reading at the end, I just had to know what happened. It wasn't what I thought and there were a few unexpected twists and turns.

What did you think overall?? I think we can give the plot away, as I don't think Dawn and Crunchy are joining us for this book. Guys - if you are, shout now!!!

I'm not sure I loved it...but I had to know what happened. Now I know, I still think the plot and what happened could have been better. Sounds awfully arrogant, but I think my ideas for what could have happened might have been more interesting. I totally didn't see the thing about Tess and the detective coming!!! (Don't want to give anything away, til Dawn and Crunchy have a couple of hours to see this.)

Anyway, it'll be good to hear what you thought!

BSL x

what a lovely message thank you! my mother always taught me that some things just need to be dealt with and gotten over, i am going to have a one to one with this girl (lets just call her girl B) today and girl A is back in tomorrow so i might bite the bullet and do the same with her (even though she is REALLY scary!).

Here's hoping today is better!! And i know we will both get PG, but i always think that you need to work for the things yuo really want in order to appreciate them.

right i am finished with my words of wisdom (!!) and am glad you are enjoying the book, i found it addictive towards the end!! I am still struggling with Pippa Lee but am going to persevere as you have all said it got better.

Have a good day x

Summerbird - how awful!! I'm sorry you have some rubbish work colleagues! I know exactly what you're going through! I always cry when I am angry too...so annoying. I hope you get somehwere quickly with this new job! But I'm also proud of you for standing up and shouting that girl down today! I wish I had a bit more courage to have done the same over the past year. I have to work with a couple of back-stabbers and one really unpleasant girl! I guess I'm lucky being able to work from home most of the time.

I also know we're in the same boat too...waiting for test results and stuff. I kinda felt you weren't really feeling too positive about this cycle. We'll be okay. It just might take us a little longer and might be a little harder...I'm pretty sure we'll make it though. To me, you seem like someone who can deal with stuff that's thrown at them. I know we'll be okay and have small people soon.

Oh and loving loving the book!! about 2/3rds through now!! Had a mammoth session at lunch and this evening!

BSL x

aw thanks for your concern BSL i am having a rubbish time at work at the mo, basically there are two girls who are trouble makers and one of them had a go at me today saying i was basically picking on the other girl, so i let her have it - i told her exactly how i feel and left work angry almost in tears (would NEVER let them see me cry!). so unjustified, but i went for a run after work to beat out the frustration.

anyway sorry for the mini rant but thanks for listening! How are you anyway? I think we have the same mindset at the moment, waiting for confirmation of our fertility before looking for symptoms which is probably a good thing IYSWIM. Has your DH heard anything about his tests?

Did a little more reading over lunch! Will keep going!

Summerbird - just wanted to check you're okay??? You sounded a little down on the other thread...?

BSL x

oo stick with it BSL, i got to a point where i literally couldnt put it down.

Dawn have you read East of the Sun yet? Are you enjoying it?

Summer - I am struggling a bit with the book. I got to page 51 and haven't had the energy to keep going. I have a fair idea of what's what. But I'm hoping it's a bit less obvious than what I think happened. Will keep going!

With regard to the Pippa book. It's not a 'can't put it down' type book! I would perserve though. It's got a couple of twists at the end and if nothing else it does give food for thought. It reminded me of a nother book, that I can't quite put my finger on...I'll have a think about that one.

Anyhow, the Aberystweth book was really good! All finished now and prepared for this Wednesday's book group in Greenwich!! I would recommend it, particularly if you have friends in Wales and go there a bit! It was funny!

BSL x

dawn i am struggling with pippa lee, i will persevere though.

BSL are you still on your Aberystwith book? It is quite famous so i might give it a try myself.

i do too, i finished it within about 5 days and that was reading it intermittently.

it gets much more fast moving, all i will say is that the clues are there you just need to think laterally rather than literally!!!!

Woohoo, I've finished the other book and started ours. I'm only on the second chapter, but it seems good so far. DH is playing in a golf tournment this afternoon, so I'll have a nice relaxing evening of reading to look forward to. I reckon I'll be finished by Sunday.

BSL x

Summer - I am enjoying the book (Aberystwyth), but it's quite odd! Like a 1950's PI story, but instead of being set in LA, it's in Wales!! It's quite funny.

I am going to a book group in the waterstones in Greenwich for the first time on 24th and this is the first book.

I should start ours tomorrow I reckon!!

BSL x

BSL i think you will love it, i started it on Thursday and finished it tonight, let me know when you are through with it and we can discuss, you are right you wont be able to put it down!

My friend went to Aberystwith Uni, and i think she has read that book, are you enjoying it?

x

Hey Summer,

I got my copy at the weekend. I'm just finishing another book 'Aberystwyth, Mon Amour' by Malcom Pryce and then I'm on to this one. Are you still loving it? have you finished it.

I thought it looked like the kind of book I won't be able to put down!

BSL x

all gone quiet? is anyone reading it? it is brilliant!

anyone started reading No Time For Goodbyes yet? I am on chapter 5 and am hooked!

oo my friend has got it in hardback and is bringing it in tomorrow.

dawn your book is in the post!

bugger - tesco didnt have it! never mind will go to WHSmith tomorrow.

Dawn i am in a training course today so will post your other book tomorrow, hope thats ok.

happy Tuesday girls!

right i will buy no time for goodbyes tonight if we go to tesco then!

and dawn i got your email and will send the book tomorrow.

woo hoo action stations!!

Hi Summer,

Emailing you now!!

xxx

Oh 'No time for Goodbye' looks good! Let's go for that!!

BSL x

thats what i thought too, good call dawn!

email me at elisa526 at hotmail dot com

(think i have to write it like that otherwise they will do a search for email addys and tell me off for not paying a fiver for personal messaging!!)

the book is brill and quite funny in parts, you could let me know what you think when you have read it!

Hey Summerbird,

I'm up for that!! If you want to give me your email address, I'll send you an email with my address on so that we can keep it off of MN.

Sounds brill!!

xxx

i have just had a really good idea, does anyone fancy doing a book swap? i have just finished my book East of the Sun by Julia Gregson which is on the R&J list above. I am happy to send it on to someone in exchange for the Pippa Lee book you have all just read? We wouldnt swap cash or anything but obviously we would pay the postage for the book we are sending on. IYSWIM

anyone up for it? i can highly recommend the book - it is a chick lit with a few twists and gritty bits in it. you can read the reviews on the link i posted above.

here is the link to the bestsellers page go here i dont mind what we go for.

Ok, haven't read either, so how about we go for "No Time for Goodbye", what's it about and who writes it, do you know Summerbird? If not I can look it up....

xxx

ello there, i am nearly finished my book so will whizz through it and join in if i may.

are we doing the R&J recommendations then? if so i like the look of No Time For Goodbye and The Outcast and i am open to other suggestions.

Hi guys,

Are we going topick a new book???

BSL x

I was shocked a lot too. I think I made a lot of presumptions based on the first part of the story. Ie younger woman, rich old man, perfect 'stepford' wife to the family fitting in with the whole artists wife image. I was shocked by the sexual side especially between pippa and her mother. Feeding from a bottle at 16 and the inappropriare photos as. Child made me a little uncomfortable-not what I has expected at all!

I was also shocked by the ending (even though I 'felt' it coming I didn't want it to!). Herb had definitly saved her in a sense and I am a die hard romantic so I was upset by the affair.

However, I think herb liked to feel like the powerful protagonist and father figure. He seemed to choose to sleep with women with mental health issues and I think this pattern told us a lot about the power issues this character had.

Hi BSL,

I finished Pippa yesterday aswell.

It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be, considering my first impressions. I just wasn't expecting half of it to be honest.

I enjoyed it and didn't struggle to read it like I thought I might as it wasn't a page turner for me at the beginning. But by the time they flipped back to her past, my whole view of the book changed.

What did you think?

I've just started on a Cecelia Aherne book. Hopefully I'll finish it this week if it's really good!!

xxx

Hi guys,

I managed to finish Pippa over the weekend! What did you guys all think??

BSL x

hello! I read that one (isn't it the follow on from the devil wears prada?) I found it quite funny and easy to read but I agree it's not particularly memorable! I did enjoy it for what it was though. I have quite a high tolerance for books though! I tend to always find somethig k like and have never given up-I read alsorts too. Don't particularly have a genre I stick too! I really am a book worm LOL

Hi there just popping my head around the door, although i am not a great reader you have all inspired me a little, so i am going to keep popping in to say hi and if you start on a book i like then i will join in if thats ok, i am currently reading a trashy novel (Laura Weisberger - All the right people) which is a bit rubbish!

I bought a Richard n Judy recommended one today 'East of the Sun' by Julia Gregson which looks quite good, i like books set in the 20/30s

Enjoy Pippa Lee ladies!

x

that sounds good to me-I have finished it and wouldn't want to say anything that spoils it for everyone else. I should be good for next week though. Justet me know when!xx

Guys, I have to bail too! I meant to message earlier, but I have to go out for dinner tonight as it was my dad's birthday on Tuesday...of course it has to be when I already have plans!!

I'm currently up to page 136 and am really liking the book! I find Pippa interesting and feel alot of affinity to her. Every time something goes wrong, Pippa runs away! She never hangs around to deal with the consequences of her actions. She seems very passive about her sexuality, but obviously uses it to get what she wants.

She also uses her anger at her mother as justification for bad behaviour. She hates that her mother is addicted to diet pills, and yet deliberately takes pills and speed herself. I find that a bit hypocritcial. She feels she has a right to her anger at her mother and also uses her mother's behaviour as an excuse to follow suit!

I think we should arrange another session for next week when we've all finished the book!

Hello all,

Really sorry about this guys but I may need to cry off tonight. With the lack of sleep I may try and get an early night after a nice bath (and it's BD night... not quite so pleasant when your back is so painful...).

I may join at 7pm but if I manage to get to sleep, I'd rather not set an alarm to get up again, I'm sure you girls understand!

I'll try and give my initial thoughts and views though to get you started. I'm about half way through and Pippa has just made the first house-move (trying to be cryptic in case people haven't read that far).

I have to admit that the book took a funny turn for me. This was what I thought when I first started to read the book:-

Pippa was a younger woman married to an older man who was quite rich (due to his successful career). I imagined that she had had a very glamorous life, from a child and I really didn't know where the story was going. But when the book jumped back to her childhood, the whole outlook of the book changed. I just wasn't imagining that family life at all!! I'd expected a typical 2.4 children family life with Mum that stayed at home and Dad that went out and did a normal job. The only inkling that I had that something wasn't quite right, was Pippa's reaction to Grace. Now I think I'm starting to understand why she was the way she was with her.

It's taken me a while to get into the book but I'm really liking it now!

The other shocking bit for me (probably again because of my completely incorrect assumptions of Pippa's upbringing) was the part about visiting the night-club with Trish and Kat. I wasn't expecting that at all!!

Her relationship with her father is strange aswell, almost as if he's scared to get too close to her because of the way her mother will react. And what a bizarre way of domination, the way that Pippa dominates her Mother with literally just a look. Trying to get her Mother to look scared.

All I can say is, what a dysfunctional family unit - one that I never imagined!!

xxxx

I have lent ps Iove you to my nan- it's fantastic isn't it! I love that book!

Hi all,

I'm getting into the book a bit more now. I struggled initially as it didn't really grip me immediately. I don't always get on with books that I have to work at, purely because I read for pleasure.

But at least something like the book-club will force me to read something, that I may end up enjoying.

I'm at the stage in the book where I feel I need to read more to get the answers. There are a lot of questions in my head about it and I'm hoping to find the answers in the next few chapters.

I've finished the Grace chapter so am on to The Little Death now. Having a bath and chill out evening (no cinema now as my brother's GF is working) so I should get a bit closer to the end.

I bought a Cecelia Aherne book at the weekend. I love her books too. I read PS. I Love You first and that really got me into them!!

xxx

Ok so I will definitly have finished this book by our 7 o'clock meeting tomorrow! It is interesting isn't it?!

I will not spoil anything if people haven't finished though... We will discuss as much as people are happy too! I have ideas for our possible next book too LOL shall look forward to our chat tomorrow! Xx

Shit, I forgot to go and buy the book! I will do it today!! I am happy to post whenever I am available!!

I'm on the Grace chapter-I was enjoying it this morning before baby sitting And am looking forward to Reading tonight while my DH watches the olympics!

I must admit, I quite like the 'dry' narrative you meniondx and can't help comparing it to Arthur millers style-he too is a great explorer of relationships and the human psche so I am looking forward to seeing how re story develops! Xx

Hi guys,

Well I'm on page 67 of the book. I really like it, but it's written in a very 'dry' way, if that makes sense. I also find I have to read a little bit and then think about it for a little bit. I'm not sure what you all think, but I find it quite descriptive, while nothing is actually happening. I guess it's really more of a study in relationships. I was reading another book - Babbit by Sinclair Lewis and I find the writing styles a little similar...so that's my first impressions.

BSL x

I have read the first chapter so far. It agree itnis not the narrative style I was expecting! I don't know if that is good or bad at this point so we shall defintly start with that question and I shall keep Reading!

Hi Crunchy et al!!

The questions look good, although can I add one to begin with, maybe what our "First Impressions" were of the book. I've started reading it and strangely, thinking that it was going to be one that I could get into straight away, haven't felt as pulled to it as I normally would be - strange!!

Reading Notes

Download PDF Please use the following to discuss in your groups.

1) In the first section of the book, how does Pippa Lee live up to being 'the icon of the Artist's Wife'?

2) How would you describe the difference between Pippa's relationship with her son, Ben, and her daughter, Grace?

3) Why does Pippa suspect Moira is having an affair?

4) How important is Suki's behaviour in the development of Pippa's early character?

5) At what point do you think Pippa's life in New York becomes dangerous?

6) Why do you think Pippa feels as though Herb 'saves' her and in turn, what does Herb see in Pippa?

7) What do Pippa's dreams represent, in your opinion?

8) First Suki, then Gigi, now Moira. How is self destructive behaviour explored in the book?

ok that is what is on the website- doesnt mean much to me as i havent read the book yet! If any of you think it is spoiling anything please delete my post, i will not mind at all!!

I think we should try to be here Thursday at 7 to discuss however much we can then and if any one can't make it then they can just add their say when they can make it and we will all respond when we get chance (obviously the questions aren't rigid and i am by no means suggesting we have to discuss those and those alone it might just help give our read and chat a focus!)

Enjoy ladies! I am off to shop for my party tonight and hopefully will get chance to start my new books soon! i am soooo excited lol!

Crunchy xx

My books have just been delivered i love new books! I am just going to smell them for a minute...

yes im a freak lol!

Ok, so the book is quite small so i agree it might be a quick read- Do you want me to cut and paste all of the suggested discusion notes from the Richard and Judy site? Just as its a first one it might get us going and then we can see how far we have read and just talk about the relevant questions?

Everyone happy with that?

I'm good for Thursday!

What's the plan in terms of reading...? are we just gonna see how far we each get?

BSL
x

ok Thursday at 7 is perfect for me as I will have the house to myself for at least an hour then! You will have my full attention for that rare occasion LOL

Xx B sweetie are you sure that's ok with you? Put some thoughts or questions on before if you want so well give you our opinions! Xx

Hey all,

Sorry - forgot to post on here today!!

Thursday this week at 7pm would be good for me.

I'm going to buy the book this weekend so that I can read some before Thursday!!

Wednesday is normally Ok, apart from this one as I'm off to see Mamma Mia!!

xxx

PS: I'll log on again tomorrow to see the final decision!!

ok shall we all say the day/time that is a best fit for us individually and then we can go with the
Most popular? I would probably find Wednesday about 8 best of thusday about 7 as I know my nubby will be busy with things then anyway! We do tend to do stuff at the weekends too-which is best for you girls? B is the one who can't make it <waves at bonifacio!> buy has said she would be happy to post opinions/questions in her own time as that is what she does usually anyway! Xx

I am quite angry my book is still not here. It I'm sure it will be soon and I should be able to read quite quickly if need be! Xx

Morning guys,

I've managed a few pages of the book so far and I can already see this being quite a quick addictive read!

I am not going to be able to make weekends very easily...off to Jersey this weekend, next weekend I'm away at Rutland water and then I'm in Singapore for the following two weekends. However, I'm not bothered if you guys go ahead without me...I figure this is a thread so i can just read and add in before or after the session...

Dawn - very jealous of you living at the foor of Dartmoor. DH and I love it there! We've spent a couple of lovely romantic weekends in Dartmoor over the last few years and were there for the May bank holiday this year. We went to Wistmans Wood - I wanted to see Tangle Wood!

BSL x

Sunday would suit me-name a time! Are we doing this sunday or next Sunday dawn? Will you need tip next week incase you have a problem getting the book? Xx

Hello all,

If we're going to do a Saturday, it'll have to start next Saturday as I won't be able to get the book until this weekend!!

I live in the sticks (at the foot of Dartmoor in Devon) and can only get out at the weekends as I work from home - bummer!!

Just wondering whether a Sunday would be better? Only a suggestion though, 'cos Saturdays we tend to do our shopping and Sunday is slightly more chilled and DH sometimes works on a Sunday so no interruptions... But depends what everyone can do.

What does everyone else think?! Really don't mind either way!!

xxx

ok
So am I right I'm saying we have an 8hour difference? LOL right how does doing it on a Saturday morning sound to everyone then it'd be later in the night for b! Or about 1gmt? Then we can have a lunch and glass of wine without feeling too guilty lol I wouldn't want you to miss out B you are an important member of the TTC team LOL

How does that sound for people? Xx
My bloody book still isn't here either-fingers crossed the post will sort it's self out tomorrow! Xx

Hmmm, GMT make it 4am here! So would have to pass, but I can always read the comments and post in my time which is what I do anyway!!

sorry! Yes GMT but only if it suits everyone! Xx any other suggestions are great too xx

Hellooo, I found you!! About time!!

Crunchy is that 8pm GMT??

Ok so I'm hoping I will get Mu books tomorrow and will have a better idea of how long it will take me but obviously I appreciate that people are different!

Shall we say our first chat should be a first impressions session (then if people have read ahead that will be ok as long as there's no spoilers!)

Ok-I'm bititng the bullet ladies - how does next wednesdAy at 8 sound?

Aim to have read first 10 chapters and we can discuss characters, first impressions over all and perhaps whAt we think will happen? Then that should give everyone chance to get the book but there's no pressure if people Are finding it hard going or have had a busy week at work? Just a suggestion though! Let me know what you think (ladies who already have the book-maybe you think we should aim for the whole book or more or les than 10chapters-I just picked a number as I haven't seen it yet!)

Crunchy xx

Hmmm, I was wondering the same thing. I can be great with a book and finish it in a day, or with some I can be reading it for months!

aww I hope you have a fab weekend! That was my concern-I finish some books really Quickly and then some seem to take forever! I think A lot of it depends on the kind of week I'm having though. I sometimes have that much going on I'm my head or at work that I re read parts of books or just can't get into them!

So do we think we should all aim to read the lot before our discussion or should we discuss it in parts? As in read 10 chapters and discuss characters/Initial ideas etc? What would everyone prefer? Xx

I reckon it might be a quick read! I'm off to Jersey for the weekend, so hoping to do some reading on the plane and on the beach!

BSL x

brilliant hopefully mine will be here tomorrow and then we can set a date xx

Crunchy - even when I went right through to the checkout it didn't reduce the price and have the proper savings...weird! Anyhow, popped out at lunch and bought it, although again had problems with the offer and they charged me full price and I had to walk all the way back to the shop to get a refund when I realised what had happened!

But yay! I have my copy!

the offer shows up when you get to the checkout- it shows the book as 5.99 or whatever but then at the bottom under the total cost it comes up as saving and then the new total. I think the offer ends at 5 today though!xx

I went online yesterday to order a copy from Waterstones, but I couldn't make the £2.99 offer work...so I'm going into town at lunch to get mine!! I am very excited!!

Mine were ordered on line but I have checked and they have already been dispatched so I'm hopeful they will be here tomorrow!

When everybody has the book we shall set our date... Ohhhh the excitment! I am looking forward to it! Xx

I've found it too!! Need to get to Waterstone's and get the book.... How exciting!! xxx

Hello ladies,

How exciting - our very own bookclub!!

I'll be out to buy the book at the weekend - so hoping that none of you live near Torquay because otherwise all the shops will be sold out!!!

Got more work to do now so catch up soon.

xxx

Hello Crunchy!! Just wanted to let you know I've found it!! Thanks for setting our thread up! Off to buy the book tomorrow. Should have bought it today really, but nevermind!

BSL x
