Nicnic???? |
Noooooo. Try again |
Oops, just noticed that you said surname (I must read things more carefully!!!!!!) How about Elaine? |
Yes! |
Thank you Elaine!  |
I hadn't planned doing it via amazon, but.... Can you believe, that I couldn't find any of the books on your wishlist (other than Jason), here? I tried several places, and none were in stock, so in a moment of panic, resorted to amazon, which of course had the advatage of being completely secret! To be honest, would have preferred to have given it the personal touch, but couldn't find anything. Were some of them very new? Still would have thought that I could have found at least one of them in one of the shops-dare I say, "typical Exeter"!?

I think a few of them were new but as far as I know some have been out for a while as I've been putting swap requests in for them but no one loves me enough to accept! You are a star, I'm really happy with the one you got me though and can't wait to start it. I'll probably have to wait until next month now though as I have a bit of a queue going on!

Wasn't too sure, although when I checked on amazon think all (except one) were released. Probably just very popular in the weeks coming up to Xmas, but I admit I panicked slightly (although would have been happy to get you Jason!)

You never cause trouble Mel! It became a bit of a crusade to try and find one, so can only assume that they're very popular. Hope you enjoy the yummy Jason!

Could I be right in thinking Mark was my SS?

rumbled lol
glad you liked the bookmark-know some people strongly believe in the power of angels and thought it might be something touching and nice to give you a bit of hope and also something pretty to put in your books!! lmao
was glad I got you as my secret Santas and i really enjoyed including something a little extra..
thanks also to whomever sent Emilie her Secret Santa.....it was a lovely book and I am sure Emilie will enjoy reading it on her own before long...
can't remember just now which Secret Santas present she got from here and which from RISI but when I get a sec I will have a look on our list of who sent what and thank my SS properly...chuckle
not very organised at mo i'm afraid..lots going on |

Thnk you Mark-glad I figured it out!
I love the bokmark, and use it constantly-it's a lovely weight and feel, as well as being comforting, so you chose well. Incidentally, I do like to think that I have a guardian angel (poor dear has her work cut out at the moment, lol!)
Haven't read the book yet, but am longing to do so when I can focus a bit better (need to save all my energy for beating you at scrabble, but I think you're going to win this one!) Loved "Cloud Atlas", so am looking forward to seeing how "Black Swan Green" shapes up. I've heard a few people say they've enjoyed the Tokyo novels, but they didn't appeal for some reason-maybe one day.
Thanks again for the perfect pressies, and hugs for Emilie (you can have a hug too, if you want one...)
