I found the first package (which came with a November EuroXchange package) in the post a few weeks ago (just before I moved out of my apartment)...

It is safely in the bottom of my suitcase-so no peeping for me- although I am not sure who it is from (it has pink packaging).... :)

I just got back from another trip. So far I have received:

To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf (wishlist book) from Camis (thank you)
The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai (not a wishlist book but it should have been :)) from Giz-Angel

The Stranger by Albert Camus from Rebecca James : )

My internet access will be limited for a while as I am using an internet cafe for a week or so.

but the old address is still valid right? :erm:

:whistle:

I mailed your book out this weekend... hopefully to the right address :unsure:

Did people not get the email from Giz with the new address?

:unsure:

I thought it went to everyone, but maybe it just want to me and zzz. :shrug:

I did but my book was already on its way (I guess). When I saw that she posted I thought it was book from me; obviously it's not so I thought to ask BJF about old addy since she was here.

For the rest of the group:
IF YOU ARE MOVING PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO E-MAIL ME NEW ADDRESS!!!
by the time Giz e-mailed us reminder with the old address (as well as some books) has been sent long time ago.

I just used the address that I had in my inbox. :shrug:
Though looking now I have two address emails, both starred.
Oh well. It looks like (from Giz's message) that BJF can still get the mail sent to the old address. :unsure:

hi- sorry for the confusion.

I will still be picking mail up from my old address.

Although, if you are planning to send something this address is better:
yasmin hwaidak
29 goldsmiths place
london
nw6 5ug
uk

Sorry for any confusion, i thought i had emailed my 'in between' address.

thanks :)

I will be sending to you very soon BJF ;)

We did get it... I just think there was some confusion 'cause Giz sent it out as a reply to an email zzz had sent reminding us that October was your month. And then I didn't think to send out the new address again when you gave it to me, because we had already gotten it.

But it's all good. :D

:D

I've not sent it to the EuroXchange lot yet cos I' ve only just got back online, but I will do.

Oh and BJF I will be sending your books out together but wrapped seperate :wink: so no cheating!

I know I saw BJF online few minutes ago .... then I've noticed she edited first post :)

We'll wait impatiently :grin:

: ) yes- I have managed to get online again...
went to the post office today and picked up a package from giz-angel... two very nicely wrapped books...one for october and one for november..ohhh which one to choose.....

finally I picked one:

The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai (wishlist book) looking very new :) thank you Giz I can't wait to read it!!!

that means you still need to pick up books that has been sent to your old address right? :erm:

:hug: Glad it arrived ok (was sent to other newer addy) now you just have to wait a month :giggle: yes it was new from amazon but I wanted to make sure it was wrapped separately so it came to me first!

Hope so, cos I sent mine ages ago :unsure:

I sent your book out today.

I have to admit that I kinda suck for October. :blush:

I have books for Misses November, December, and January, but... I still haven't the foggiest idea what I'm sending you BJF.

I swear, I'll come up with something before the end of the month.

BJF? :erm:
(I need to leave feedback, people are asking me what's wrong?)

She hasn't been on the site since the 11th... :erm:

I did get an email from her saying she was travelling about quite a bit. That was a few weeks ago. I'll check and see if I still have the mail tonight and confirm what it says :)

That would be great Giz. If you can't find it or it indicates she should be around, I'll email her.

No I didn't save it - sorry :( but she deffo said she was moving apartments and was all over the place for a good few weeks. So I think we will have to wait a while...??

I'll email her tonight then.

Hi all-

Thanks for your patience- things have been pretty crazy around here to say the least.
- I am still in between places (at mum's) and travelling around quite a bit.
- Have not heard back from my old landlord to pick up mail grrrr he also travels with work all the time.
- have had a few life issues to sort out- such is life...
- have turned 30 yay!!!
-have become a non-smoker!!!! (something I always told myself I would do before I turned 30..and am still in shock that I have managed to do it.. well I quit a week ago.. I am determined to stay a non-smoker.)

I have received a few books both for this month and next month EuroXchange (which I will add a new topic for)- and will also add to the received books here on first post.

Apologies for being a bit crazy this month (as though anything has changed :))

oh-- I don't seemed to have received any emails from anyone about this.

Well done for giving up smoking - I've done 5 months now :o and I am THE most unlikely non smoker!

Glad you are back anyway BJF :kiss:

Um... yeah. :blush:

I was at work and couldn't send the email when I was talking about doing so... and by the time I got home... I had forgotten. Oops.

I'm glad you're back, though! I hope your old landlord lets you have your stuff soon! Doesn't he understand how important it is to get your books! :whip:

Finally mailed your book today! :grin:

ahh thanks- well done to you too. :D

How's the non smoking going BJF?

BJF? :erm:
(I see you're online)

going well- humm kind of... had a few cigs yesterday and felling very guilty for it... getting back on track. and hopefully getting back on track with bookobsessed too..i am so behind in sending out books..ops :whistle:

Don't feel guilty that's a waste of energy just shrug your shoulders and get back on track :)

xxx

Finally... Some of mail has followed me...
Received 'On the Road' by Jack Kerouac (wishlist book) :D thank you zzz

Now just to work out how many more should be on the way... sorry about the delay in getting my mail forwarded- it has taken such a long time to get in contact with the new owners/old landlord.

I still owe you a book, I know. It'll be coming from Amazon UK when I order it, but I a) wanted to wait until you were settled and b) need to wait until I have money in the bank. :blush:

I haven't forgotten you though, I promise. :D

YAY!!!!! :D
I have finally collected the rest of my mail from my last apartment (ops that took a while) and Have 3 new books :o

from Geishabird - Diary A Novel by Chuck Palahniuk (wishlist) and Light in August by William Faulkner (wishlist)- one of which I suspect is for the Eurxchange group.

and

from Morsecode: Of Love and Other Demons bu Gabriel Garcia Marquez (wishlist and favourite author)

Thank you both :D

Oh that is fine Pepper- I have only just managed to collect the remaining books from my last apartment- and I too am quite behind on sending out my exchange books- and with christmas coming up, expenses do pile up-- it can wait until next year

thanks for letting me know though.
:D

Great news Yasmin :whee:

Light in August is your Ballyswapper book; Diary was from (I think) a non-genre swap earlier this year. Hope you enjoy them both! (I did!)
