  1. Hi Nicola!

     

    The weather was fantastic wasn't it? It felt like an actual summer =P Is it still good in England? Our sunny days seem to be over for a while, it's pretty cold too. I think it'll do good for my BCF activity and I'll hopefully be more ready for exercise ;)

     

    Have you been reading tons? I've also got The Blue Nowhere, I'm glad you liked it, it seems like it was the usual Deaver, can't be put down. I think you are going through the HP's now? I'd like to do that as well at some point but there's just too much other stuff to read. BTW I nicked my own copy of Good Omens from BF this week :lol: I'm not sure if he was actually aware of me taking it but I don't care!! =P

     

    I hope you had fun at Alton Towers! Too bad you don't like camping, it's so much fun to giggle in tents into the wee hours with good friends. But you musta had fun anyways.

  2. Hi Nicola! :D

     

    I'm okay, though I've been watching too much reality TV today, it got in the way of real life I think. That's one of the stupid reasons why I haven't been able to read more of Dead to the World.... I know, I'm such a 'ooh, that's rude'! :blush: How you been doing? Whatcha reading at the mo? You still have a whole month to do whatever, I'm so jealous... !!

    :D

  3. Hi Nicola! I hope you're settling nicely in Holland! Remember, you've got a whole week, don't spend all your money today :smile2:

     

    I'm glad your Mom's doing better, meds do really help. I wish meds didn't have such a bad reputation, my Mom seemed really panicky when I told her I'm going to start medication. "Don't start eating them too much!" Like, what..? Meds have really helped me too, and I'm so much better from what I was 2 years ago.

     

    Why would people drop out of a trip to Holland?? By the way, do you have to pay for the trip yourself or do you get some kind of sponsoring for it?

     

    I started The Coffin Dancer last night and managed about 80 pages of it, and I'm eager to continue reading today :D

     

    Have a great day! :D

  4. Hi Nicola!

     

    Sorry I'm answering your messages so late, I've been really busy with the Midsummer festivities! How've you been?

     

    Peep Show reruns just ended a couple of weeks ago, but I still have Mark Corrigan and David Mitchell sharing this little corner in my heart :D I think the show's swell :smile2:

     

    Socialising is definitely a hard part of healthy living for me as well. I'm taking my hat off for you being able to resist the temptations! Well done girl!! I certainly didn't behave as well during Midsummer... but I'm hoping to burn a lot of calories next week in my secondhand bookshop tours :P yeah you should definitely post photos of you devouring the whole apple crumble :lol: Before and after!!

  5. Hi Nicola!

     

    What's been happening, anything important I should know forumwise? I've been busy for a couple of days, I've been missing the forum! Why LibraryThing and not Goodreads?? You need to take a break luv, so as not to keep hurting your head with it :lol: What are you on LT nicknamewise?

     

    Everytime I watch some costume drama from Britain I'm amazed by the scenery and I keep thinking to myself, those places actually exist and some of them can even be visited! It just blows my mind! Finland's nothing like that. Finland used to belong to Sweden and Russia and Soviet Union in turn and they were waging wars against each other and sorta tossing coins to see who gets Finland. We became independent not until 6th December 1917!

  6. Hi Paula,

     

    Awww, that's so sweet :hug: You've made me all teary eyed :blush: It really warms my heart to hear something like that, bless your heart! I just noticed I've been on this forum for over a year now and I can't even imagine what it would be like if I'd never found this place, I've come to know so many great, caring people, you amongst them :D I'm pretty good today, I'm indulging myself on some teen fiction, Princess Diaries book no. 3 :D

     

    You don't sound like you enjoy car shopping? :lol: Maybe you could find some special kind of car shop that included car painting? Maybe some cool anime figures would style up your-new-car-to-be? :D

  7. Hi Suzanna!

    I sent you the book today! I sent it by land because that was somewhat cheaper so it'll take a bit longer to arrive, maybe 2 weeks. I hope you enjoy the book :)

  8. Hi ya!

    You wrote that you have a golden lab that's got similar traits as Marley and I just had to stop by and take a peep if you had pictures of your dog in your albums and yes, there they are! *rushing to go have a look*

  9. Hi, I just thought I'd pop in to say hello and welcome you to the forum! It's an awesome place and people here are really nice and friendly, I'm sure you'll like it here and will soon settle :D

     

    You said in some thread that you're a bit nervous in this forum and all of us have read great books and you're only starting. Look at it this way: You have so many great books ahead of you to read for the first time, we're jealous! :D

  10. Hi!

     

    Why would you be jealous? Don't be, because the town I live in is a really small one, we hardly ever have anything going on for us, just something little every now and then :)

    Hi!

    L-O-L :lol:

     

    But doesn't the shoehorn (wow, I just learned a new word in English) just add to the width of the penis? And as they probably don't make shoehorns that would caress the actual shape of the penis it would probably be all wrong. (What would they call it, penishorn?) But on the other hand, I guess that's the point, making as much damage as possible... *evil grin* What a splendid image, thank you so much for this conversation!

  12. Hi!

     

    Oh it was definitely a suicide and I think and I believe the police also think that he did kill that poor girl.

     

    Oh you've actually seen Rock of Love? :lol: I thought I was just about the only one :lol: The trashier the show, the more I love it. He is truly a yucky man and old too, and all the girls are going crazy for him. They even do him ****jobs and ****jobs and whatnots! Yuck.

     

    Good job trying to get that Anne Rice book, although I hope it's better than Lestat. :roll: I hope your pay day is sooooon so you can get the Kelley Armstrong books, they must be good as everyone's writing such great reviews on them.

     

    The Finnish BB start today by the way, I'm totally tempted to buy a few hours of live 24/7 so I can see what kinda contestants there are this year. The show doesn't start on TV until tomorrow night :(

  13. Hihii Kylie and thanks :D By the way thanks for your PM, I'm going to answer it soon, today's just been a bit weird for me, I've been a bit emotional and all... Anyways, I haven't got any real particular plans. Well one of my friends is going to treat me to a cuppa coffee and a piece of cake in this lovely coffee shop, and I'm meeting a friend in the evening for drinks and a little outing at the bars but nothing more than that. I was kinda thinking I'd like to go ice-skating for the first time this winter but I'll have to see what the weather's like tomorrow :) Oh and I promised myself that I'd take me out to my favorite charityshops and secondhand bookstores to buy books... So all in all I guess there's lots to do.

     

    I think I'm off to bed soonish, it's almost 1 AM here, you must be just starting your last day at work right about now? Happy last day, I hope it goes fast :lol:

  14. Hiya catwoman,

    thanks for dropping by and saying hello :D How are you? I know we haven't chatted for ages, I've been busy lately and now I'm bummed out. My friend canceled the Swaziland trip we were going to make and it's pretty much effed up my plans for next spring, I've gotta get me a new language practice place and that's not going to be easy. Also, I'm way behind Christmas planning and I don't even feel like doing Christmas this year now :(

  15. Hiya Charm luv,

     

    how are you? I haven't been in contact with you in ages, I hope you don't hate me for that :blush: I'm gonna write to you this week, but I was wondering if I could write to you in FB, in private messages? My BCF PM box is like 99% full and I can't really delete anything so I have basically no space left :10_confused: It'll be easier in FB anyway, because we'll be able to see what the other person has written while we're writing ourselves. Just like chatting, only in private. ;)

     

    I hope you are well hun! :hug:

  16. Hiya Charm luv,

     

    how are you doing? I just thought I'd pop in and say hello :) Whatcha doing this weekend? How's the weather? It's awesome here, the whole week has been sunny and really really warm, if not hot. Superb :D

     

    Am I imagining it or is the forum really quiet nowadays?

     

    Have a nice weekend :friends0:

  17. Hiya Charm,

    How you doin'? ^^ Fully recovered from Xmas and the chocolate binging? I just thought I'd pop in and give you a shout!:D BTW I've always wondered about how to pronounce your real name, you don't actually voice the H in it do you?

     

    I just spent the weekend at my parents, I haven't seen them in a couple of months and we did a little Xmas celebration, namely exchanged our gifts :lol: I got me Wii Fit Plus, and this excellent device that massages my head! Good for the circulation and feels quite divine!

  18. Hiya Charm,

     

    how are you on this wonderful Monday morning? :) I read somewhere your mojo's left you, that SOB :irked: What's that about? Do you think you just don't feel like reading or are there not interesting enough books to keep you intrigued? I hope you recover soon :friends0:

     

    Now how about that weigh in? ;) I already complained in my Shape section that scales disappointed me today but the hell with it, I'm feeling pretty good, I lifted weights yesterday and whatnot and muscles are a bit whiney today :mgreen: Feeling good!

     

    Hugsies,

    yours truly

  19. Hiya Charm, how's things? I've missed BCF so much this last few days :blush:

     

    The move went well! I can't help it, I have to "brag" a little: I was very helpful! My friend was having trouble with her washing machine: it was too big to fit in the new appartment and she couldn't find anyone to buy it. I found her a buyer in 1 hour and she even got the 100e she was initially asking for it, she said she'd be willing to settle for 50e. Also, her uncle was supposed to come and help move her stuff in his car at 6 PM. At 4 PM he announced that he wasn't available until 7 PM. I got frustrated and managed to get a friend of mine to help with his car and we did a couple of carloads by the time it was 7 PM. That way we were done already by 8 PM and at least 2 hours sooner than we'd thought. Plus, as I'm trying to lose weight I declined from the pizza+cider my friend wanted to offer me. It was definitely a dream move for her, very easy, quick, painless and cheap :lol:

  20. Hiya Charm!

    I was laying low this weekend, just quickly popping in to the forum and off again. I wasn't suffering badly on Sat because I actually managed to drink in moderation and I did a lot of dancing on Fri which always manages to reduce the volume of the possible hangover. Odd but true for me!

     

    Did you decide on ordering the Reichs set? How about the Deaver set? Thanks for offering to send them to me, you dear gal :smile2: But I've got about half of those books so it probably wouldn't make any sense getting that set. I've already got the next three LR books in line waiting to be read so I do have time to hunt down the rest :D

     

    Haa, I did notice I posted on my own profile right after posting and I did send the same thing to Nicola after realising it but of course I forgot to remove it from my own page :tong:

     

    BTW, it's Monday again ;) Time for a wee look at the scales? ;)

  21. Hiya Charm! :hug:

     

    How are you today? I'm quite pleased with myself, I took a big step towards starting my gradu and emailed my gradu counsellor, a thing I've been dreading for months. I told him to schedule an appointment for me.

     

    Definitely no more beer on my books, I'm taking every precaution next time anyone's over here and I'll put my books away! BTW, I'm reading Dead to the World now, Eric's just watching Buffy and laughing out loud :lol: I<3Eric!

     

    Well I suppose you always need to bring OH with you when you take a bath :D Although that might be quite distracting when you're trying to read a book? ;)

     

    Poor Piper! I'm sorry, I can't help but laugh at her and the situation :lol:

     

    I'm sooo pleased for Connor and yourself, you must be giddy! The future's all open for him! It must be relieving :)

  22. Hiya Charm!

    Just popping in to say hello and thanks for the PM. I know, it's been ages since we've talked, I've just been a bit busy and all. I'm also kinda tired in the evenings what with all the walking and jogging. Good kinda tired though :)

  23. Hiya Charm!

     

    I just thought I'd pop in and say hello and ask you how your doing, it's been a while since we've chatted :)

     

    By the way, the book series you and Fi (and someone else?) were talking about on your reading blog sounded really interesting, but I couldn't really tell which series it was because I kind of got the idea that there were couple of different ones and I got confused. I was also a bit afraid to ask if you'd think I'd like it, because I have way too many books to read as it is... :blush:

     

    I hope all is well and mojo will stay intact for many months to come! :D

  24. Hiya CW, how are you? Hope you've had a great time during the hols :)

    Me, well me and BF have been sick throughout the hols. BF had already recovered once but he's having some kind of nasty relapse :( I have no fever anymore but I'm really lightheaded and weak still. I stay on here to read the posts but am usually too tired to write anything myself. Being sick is really getting on my nerves!!

  25. Hiya dearest!

    I'm good, how are you? I had such fun time at the chat room I thought I'd have to consciously avoid it for a couple of days, otherwise BF might feel abandoned haha :D Yesterday was busy going bookhunting here in Lappeenranta, had a real nice day. I've also been watching Profiler, excellent show. Whatcha been up to? :)
