  • Cat, I can't work out how to send you a private message - can you give me some pointers?
  • Great - I'll try and do my final bit of unpacking this weekend. You could come early Sunday evening or I'll let you know when else I'll be free. I'll send you my address.
  • Sorry I haven't made it to the book club in so long. I was away a lot over the summer and then moved house and work is getting in the way of the sessions this autumn. I'm also gutted I can't come to the Christmas do as I'll be working away. Reall…
  • Hi, I've also just moved and have some spare boxes free to a good home if anyone is interested. Give me a shout and I can pass on my address for you to collect them.
  • I think I was slightly put off by the 2 books last month - I know they were short but I would have probably only ended up reading one and then it wouldn't have been much fun listening to a discussion about the other book! There are just so many oth…
  • I think Ilki will be the same price. Worth checking it out though. Ooh, I've just rememered, there's a place on Weston Park, in that little section of shops near Inderwick Rd. My friend goes there every time and one day of the week they do a big…
  • I have worked my way around most of the hairdressers in Crouch End. I went to Organic Hair for ages and liked it but then my hairdresser left and I didn't seem to get as good a cut by the others so I thought I'd try out the others. This was years ag…
  • I've appreciated all the mice tips on this thread. I seem to have them in my flat all year round - I live on the top floor and think they get in from next door rather than downstairs as the others in my house never seem to see them. Anyway, I have…

  • I liked your pic Sophie! Sorry I couldn't make it - I described why on the new thread... I'd really enjoyed One Day. It was very convenient that it was last month's book as it was already by my bed - although I have to admit I'd picked it up an…
  • Hi, A combination of jetlag (just back from holiday) and a very bad wisdom tooth (can barely talk!) stopped me from going - shame, I would have enjoyed a smaller group discussion! Not sure I'll get through 2 books for next time, have got such a pi…
  • I'm having mixed feelings about the evening. Everyone is so nice and friendly but I feel like it's too big a group for us to all get a word in. What does everyone else think? Maybe we could split in to two groups for some of the evening and then co…
  • I have to admit I've been struggling with the book but hopefully I'll finish it by tomorrow. Quick request for tomorrow night - could people bring along a few suggestions for our next book? We were a bit caught offguard last time and it would be…
  • Hi Liz, Was wondering what you thought second time round! I liked it just as much. So I think there were 12 of us there - 3 new from last time - and just to set the scene, we were in the restaurant part again as there was yet another book group i…
  • That's a shame Annie - but thanks for leaving the notes. Glad you enjoyed the book too.
  • I've been hoping it's something at the park - was worrying I had suddenly got a noisy new neighbour!
  • Thanks for the recommendation Jenny, I've been meaning to read that for a while so will make sure I do! And yes, looking forward to Monday. Olddairy, did you book us the area the other book club were in last time or will we be in the back restau…
  • Congratulations Jenny! I was just wondering the other day if you'd had your baby, thanks for updating us! Hope you have time to read the book, at least it's any easy read. Glad you enjoyed it Donna - I felt the same at first and then got hooked t…
  • Thanks for finding the notes Annie - I'd offered to but hadn't got round to it! Hope you all enjoy the book - am a bit nervous having suggested it. Am going to re-read it soon so it's fresh in my mind.
  • It was out from 11.20am until around 12.30 on SH Road. Rang the elec company and they had a message saying it would be out til 3.30pm so was v happy it was back on much earlier. The message said it was a problem with the underground...not sure if …
  • The more the merrier! Glad you enjoyed the book. Looks like we might get a big turnout next time - if it's too big for one big discussion we could divide in to a couple of groups so everyone gets chance to speak...and then come back together for…
  • Well, back from a very successful first session! Turnout great (10) and weirdly there was another book club in the pub at the same time! Thanks to Olddairy for the delicious refreshments! I'm going to give info of the next book but will start a…
  • I was planning to bring my copy of the book too, hopefully we'll all find each other - or can Olddairy tell us which bit we should head to? Need to try and get through the book this weekend, just on page 50.
  • Yes thanks for the recommendation - you should get an even bigger discount for finding them new customers! I had a massage yesterday and have booked my 2nd one for a few weeks time. Really nice people and the whole set up, rooms etc is great.
  • Hi, I finally signed up after a while lurking and getting some useful info from this forum - so hopefully I can add to it in future. I've been on Stapleton Hall Road for 8 years, absolutely love it. Am looking to buy a bigger flat but really want…
  • I'm definitely coming - just need to make a start on the book!
  • I'd recommend Ian on 07973 641770. Always very reliable and helpful - you'll trust him as soon as you meet him. He's also recommended other excellent people to me - plumbers, boiler specialists etc.
  • So sad that Home is closing - it's my favourite shop on Stroud Green Road. I've bought quite a lot from there over the years - mainly gifts but I've got some good stuff in the sales too. Am hoping it will be open this weekend - I tried to go in t…
  • Been lurking on here for a while but finally got signed up - thanks to the pull of joining a book club! Have ordered the book and will see you on the 15th. Hoping to become a more active member on here too!
