Cool thanks W :) yummy SS!

For some reason people have decided to not torture you. Including me and don't ask me why cause I don't know (yes I'm regretting and trust me it's was totally accidental!)
I've ordered you something through amazon (or was it seller on the amazon) so pay attention (it's not marked as ballyswapper parcel)

I still have to read the book I'm sending to you. :D

I am just getting the September books sent out so I may be a little late. :blush:

Mine's coming from the UK so I've waited to order it so it wouldn't arrive too early :)

I'm reading it now!

:giggle: look how nice you all are to me!

Don't remind me! I told you it was accidental. <_<

:bananadance: :kiss:

Got one from Milan today :) ta mate xxx

Oh Lovely! I was worried because of the strike.
(how do you know it's mine? suspicious mind)

:rolleyes: cos it wasn't one I was expecting so I got my boyf to open it for me and look at description..... so I do not know the title but he looked for clues so I know there is a mention of Belgrade.... thus, I concluded it was from you!

Now my boyf thinks I am even more mad for not wanting to know anymore and making him hide the package until 1st Nov!!!!

bookie ordered today :)
it will be coming from a amazon.uk new/used seller and should say November Ballyswapper in your shipping addy

Me = Newbie, has a question :blush:

What is 'Ballyswappers' ? I have been wanting to ask for a while but was hoping it would become clear to me at some point.

Ballyswappers is just the name of one of our monthly exchange groups.

A group of people (usually 12), each is assigned a month, on the month the other 11 send them a book.

Does that make sense?

Oh that makes perfect sense! Thank you!!

I guess it is too late to join in the fun though...

Ha - EuroXchange not good enough for you? :giggle:

I'm sure there is a slot open in one of the exchange groups
(since she posted, why don't you ask Giz about EuroXchange? :) )

She is IN Euroxchange :giggle: we aren't enough for her!

but isn't this idiotic: I'm second year/circle in BallySwappers and I don't have a clue what the bloody word means :blink:
When I try to picture it I always imagine belly dancers who are swapping .... books??? :erm: ... this is surrealism!
(I guess it has some meaning after all)

I'm guessing the Bally bit comes from Ballycumber - the little running book logo :unsure:

Well you seem to have your fingers in all the pies too :giggle:

It looks like fun and I'm not up in the Euroxchange till June...and well I have alot of books that need homes ;)

:rofl:

Um... I think it was Bountifulpots who suggested the name BallySwappers when we first organized the group.

Everyone seemed to like it, so that's what we went with. I believe it comes from Ballycumber... and the fact that we're swapping (well technically exchanging, but whatever) books. :D

Yes I supposed it has everything with ballycumber but I can't translate that so it's the same as ... mamihlapinatapei (it's from the language of one African tribe).
And moreover that cumber always appears in my mind as cucumber :blink:
So I'm most definitively lost case!

:rolleyes: no news there sweetie!

Got one today from geishabird :) thanks!

I should probably start reading your book, huh? :blush:

No worries Pepper I have 3 to open now so it's ok :D

I opened four! See the top post - I don't know who the fourth one is from .....

Thanks v much Ballyswappers :kiss:

Posting mine tomorrow or Monday :kiss:

No rush holiday lady :D I have the odd book or two to keep me occupied :giggle:

This one is from me!

Thanks Morsie :kiss: :kiss:
