Quick post as have conference call in a bit

Jo, I'm reading a Sophie Hannah book at the moment, Hurting Distance, her books are crime/thrillers. Have ordered, another of her books and the 19th wife, is one of Richard & Judy's 2009 book club selection.

Sian, I would suggest the same as Jo re checking FSH and ovarian reserve, once you've got the results it will probably give you a better picture to allow you to decide whether to get a 2nd opinion.

Right better get back to it!

morning girls & hobby nob!

poor dad has an endoscopy this afternoon, its awful not being able to see him but it was reassuring to chat to him. once he has had the scope he should be able to come home in the next few days.....just want to give him a hug.

I have been on the treadmill this morning and now have to do some study, i have a mandatory training day on thursday so have to do lots of on-line work......so tediuos! no doubt i will be on here most of the time!

Anyone seen Inkheart yet? its so cute.

i need to get back into reading....How many books do you get through a week Jo??

XXXX

sounds a cool idea .....what does everyone recommend to start?

im contemplating wether to go up to my dad.....its a 7 hour journey and im at work friday??? he is ok, just abit down and worried about his wife who has no car or real support. i feel guilty for living so far away, and if i dont go i feel that im letting him down. im really scared of driving on a motor way i know i will be fine but.....what should i do? sit tight or go?

oooh that was a big space after your post tix!  Hmmm not sure what to advise re dad, go with your heart.  If you think he'll be ok without you then don't go, but if you're going to spend your time worrying here then you should go. 

I read tons of books, usually between 2 and 3 a week. I can't go to sleep without reading for 45 mins in bed.  yeah a book group sounds great, and book recommendations too.  Loving the idea of pink fizz & pringles, you're a classy bird Ruth!!! I haven't read any of Sophie Hannah's Lusher/Hob Nob, is she any good?  I read all sorts, from biographies, travel writing, some horror & crime to chicklit. From DH Lawrence to Jackie Collins, I swear!!!  My taste is all encompassing to say the least!  

Anyway just got back from combat and knackered so off to have lunch xxxxxxxxxxx

I'm strictly a contemporary fiction girl myself!  We could just piggy back off Richard and Judy's selections, or books that are nominated for prizes, or take it in turns!  3 books a week is good going, I don't read in bed so need to get some books downstairs for sofa reading!

Tix don't go hon - he'll be fine and 7 hours is such a long journey if you have to come back Thursday.  How about a longer trip next week or sometime soon?

p.s. my top tip for the motorway is to set off after tea - depends if you can handle getting there at 2 in the morning!!!!!

dont know what happened to my last post with the space????yeah think im going to bide my time Ruth....he may need me more next week. i know he is in a safe place.....well i hope so.....anyway Hes just gone down to have his scope with the news that he has become a grandad! and im an auntie! .....my step-sister went into labor lastnight!!!! 6-weeks early! aw! a little boy ...I feel calm and happy ...so i think when dad is home and the dust settles i will pop up and see dad and sis.

Havent done any study ....cant launch the bloody site! Grrrrrr!

Jo - Ahh Ann Frank i watched the last episode last night should have read what you put first!! Although we knew what was going to happen i was still behind the cushion shouting at Ann to hide behind the door!! The official Ann Frank website is really good have a look at that beware though you can spend hours on it!! Also did you know that Meip (the helper that found the diary) has also wrote a book thats supposed to be good im going to have a look out for it

Hi to everyone hope your all ok.

Jo,

I'm so jealous... I used to love fight class (same as combat i think) I bust my knee doing it about 18 months ago and haven't been able to do it since. Had an xray on my knee today, so hopefully will get it sorted soon so I can do it again.

Joob x

Tix,

Hope your dad gets better quickly. I had a blood transfusion when I had my ectopic, saved my life

GOD BLESS BLOOD DONORS!!!!!!
