The book is on its way to id-rather-be-at!

Btw, I had a cool card that was really appropriate as a companion to the book, but the lady at the post office had X-ray vision and noticed I had put the card into the book. Now, if I send just a book, it's classified as "printed matter" and international shipping is rather cheap. But anything hand-written makes it a regular parcel and horribly expensive to send overseas. So... Sorry, no card this time! :( I'll try to hide the card better next time! ;)

The book came in the mail yesterday, thank youvery much :)

My brother's girlfriend had a quick read of bits and pieces of this today, and had a bit of a chuckle at the meeting the in-laws part - she recently put uni off, and she's on record saying that my mum was harder to tell than her own, my mum can be a bit intimidating, lol.

I'm ready to pass on this book now, and have PMed vexter to find out to whom I should send it

I have PMed notingnothing for their address too.

This book is no its way

Arrived safely today - thank you. Have already started reading this, it's already raised a few smiles.

Really enjoyed this, perfect mix of light-hearted fun and useful information.

Just arrived! I'm busy with Book Lust at the moment, but will then turn to this. Already, Mr Potok has had a quick glance and chuckle at "the right underwear".

I agree with this: "Sometimes silly, sometimes useful". It was a hard book to have as a bookring, because I felt I had to keep plowing through it, even when I got a bit sick of it. I think it'd be a fun book to have around to browse through more casually.

The first chapter was a bit off-putting, because I have really embraced Birkenstocks and other healthy shoes, and given up entirely on hair-dryers and makeup! I felt more and more dowdy the more I read (although most of the time I like my current look, really). Still, once I got on to other chapters I was more able to laugh about it. I'm interested to learn that Manolo supposedly makes high heels that are *comfortable*! I had never really understood what all the fuss over him was about.

Two sections I felt worth going back to: wines and housekeeping. Thanks for letting me be a part of this bookring, although I feel a little too old and frumpy for this book :D

I've got Hengameh's address (thanks, vexter, for including links to the profile pages right here - how convenient), but might wait to post from England at the weekend (we're off to visit family there) because I think that will be cheaper than from Finland.

UPDATE: Mailed on 28 July from Wortham, Diss, Norfolk. Session 1-1364940, parcel reg. 19668.

i got the book last week . sorry that i forgot to journal it. thanks a lot for sharing. i'll contact bunnylady for her address.

I thought this one got lost in the mail! I sent my addy in January. So glad to see it didn't. I have a few others to read prior to this but will get to it as soon as I can.
