Sharon wrote her own review Margaret, I only helped her work out how to link the review in here:)
Hi all :)Sorry I've been MIA for a while - I'm just so super busy at the moment I feel like I barely have time to blink lol Add in the fact that my back keeps playing up and you get a sense of my crazy life right now :) I'm trying to get back into a routine but it's not that easy right now with so many other things going on as well. I will make more of an effort to drop in and say 'hi' - promise :)
Hope everyone is well and reading fabulous books :)

Taking mum in to the hospital tomorrow morning bright and early at like 5:30 or something so that'll be fun.
Hope your Mum is OK Liam. Hospitals do seem to like early morning starts.
Mod
Thinking of your Mum Liam. Hope she will be ok..not too long in hospital..
Mod
Glad you enjoyed it Phrynne. Those Literary Luncheons are apparently very good!
Mod
Good luck with it all...you wouldn't be doing much reading at the moment would you?

Mod
That's good:) I couldn't NOT read..lol
Mod
:D
Yeah it's nothing so serious. In fact it's pretty much the opposite, she's having her bosoms reduced. A thrilling medical adventure it shall be.
Mod
I'm sure she'd be thrilled that you've shared that information with the world Liam;) Wish her the best anyway:)
She's been telling everyone who'll listen :P
Liam wrote: "She's been telling everyone who'll listen :P"Good on her. But I'm sure people will probably notice:P Hope it all goes well for her.
Just got home. I swear there is nothing in the world better than 5am roads. Absolutely dead, roll the windows down and crank the piano music up.
Made it back to QLD in one piece.. just. killed my car, drove a lot of the way with only half a clutch... it was interesting.
But happy and back, with an awesome stop over in Yamba!

Well done Melanie! So glad you are safe and sound...not so much your car though:( Never mind, it is fixable!!! Enjoy your puppy (who wouldn't be a puppy any longer!) I bet the excitement by said puppy was good:) Yamba is gorgeous isn't it! Love it there...

My uncle lives in Yamba. Bugger about the car, I'm terrified of driving to Victoria with mine.
My car made it to Vic with not issue....back was apparently to much for it. ahh well Ill fix it, sell it and get a jeep :)
Puppy is great, my parents are over seas so she is super excited to have more people to cuddle, currently sleeping next to me on my bed haha.
I love Yamba, used to go all the time when I was little, has not changed a bit!

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me jumping in and asking for advice... as the Class Parent for my daughter's class (known as "1B") I've been asked by her teacher to send out an email to the rest of the parents asking for contributions to buy a gift card for the other year 1 teacher ("1W") whose wife is about to have a baby. This wife is also employed by the school as "school welfare officer", a kind of counsellor I guess. I personally think it's weird that we're being asked to donate, since neither of them directly teach our children, but anyway... I'm having trouble coming up with wording of the email. So far I've got:Dear parents,
As you may know, Joe and Jane Bloggs* are expecting their baby soon. Mrs Blue* thought that it would be a nice idea to give them a gift card. If you'd like to contribute, please give donations (any amount welcome) to Mrs Blue.
Thanks
* not their real names, LOL
I feel I am hopeless at these sorts of things and wish I hadn't volunteered! :-D Anyone care to help me with the wording?
Mod
The words sound good to me Amber..the only thing I might change is ....If you'd like to participate, please give donations.....
Good luck!
Hi Amber, I agree, I would change to participate - you could also write "if you would like to participate any donations would be gratefully appreciated....that might sound a bit desperate!? Good on you for volunteering.

I spent an hour and a half waiting at my local doctors today and the whole time I was there I was the only one reading a book. Everyone was on their phones texting or looking at things on their phones.Didn't I feel like the odd one out :)

Mod
That's a definite plus!!
Brenda wrote: "Sharon wrote: "Brenda wrote: "Sharon wrote: "I spent an hour and a half waiting at my local doctors today and the whole time I was there I was the only one reading a book. Everyone was on their pho..."It used to be, and possibly still is at my doctor's surgery, that almost everyone borrowed a magazine from the pile and read it. (Haven't seen a doctor for at least six months, so maybe things have changed....) Mind you, many of the patients are seniors. :)
Don't you hate it when you have a day off work sick but only for it to be an infected eye and can't do what you love to do on days off - read

That's a lovely story Bette, thanks for sharing! There are some lovely destinations up and down the coast, South West Rocks is another, and my parents' ashes are there.
Mod
That's bad luck, I hope you recover quickly:)
It's my last day at work today and I'm officially on Annual leave for a whole month…WooHoo! :DWe are heading off to the US on Sunday, visiting LA, New York, Las Vegas & San Francisco…..so very excited.
I’ll be offline while I’m away so I’ll talk to you all when I get back. Happy reading everyone xxx

Not only did I learn how to copy / paste and and how to put the link up for the review link. I also learnt that if you truly don't know something don't be afraid to ask like I was.
Many thanks again for being so helpful and patient :)
