January Filers at the CSC - How are you doing?

[dbears 1]

dbears - you may appreciate this photo of part of my bookshelves, then:

I'm the same way when it comes to shopping. I actually visited a bookstore the other week and for the first time in my life did not leave with a book in hand! The big book chainstore here is called Waterstone's - they have a lovely shop in the centre of Sheffield and they always have a 3 for 2 offer on certain books. If I spy one or two books I'd like in that offer I simply have to find more so I can take advantage of it!

Yeah...I'm wondering what to do about my books. Most will probably be cheaper to ship over than to sell and re-buy. I'll give away any books that aren't in really good condition; I have a thing about liking my books to be pristine-looking.

WOW!!! You have great collection there!!! .. if you evedr get tired of those agatha christie collection, you can always donate it to me ...

Gosh!!! how different your bookshelve look compared to mine... your books looks like they are all brand new.. most of my novels are second hand which I bought on booksale and then it gets passed on and shared with my siblings and then my aunt and also some of my friends then, it comes back to me a little more tattered .. that is why i won't have problem including them in the garage sale or maybe donating them... I have had many books which were not returned to me so I have some books (especially those purchased brand new) where I wrote: STOLEN FROM GAY BXXXXXX ... of course I can't resell them. The only books that don't get passed on are my christian books and also my non-fiction books and instructional books.

p.s. you can always pm me if you feel really burdened coz of those books, i'd be so glad to help

I try very very hard not to keep up with you guys lol.. I used to be a serious chatterbox on a different forum

dbears - if I ever need to unburden myself of a few of my books you shall be the first person I call! Although there's little chance of that happening, I'm afraid!

I have a few books that I bought second-hand - most of them out of print; one of my favourite authors only has one novel left in print - but they're usually relegated to the top shelf. I'm far too particular about appearances. I used to lend out books all the time and I always used to wince when they came back with torn pages and tatty covers (and one time my friend managed to burn a hole right through one!).

What do you mean, 'used' to? I have 28,000 posts on another forum (and I post on four) and that postcount is still growing! Uh...my work is very boring. Actually, I do look forward to being online a little less when I'm finally in the US. I use the computer to chat to Alex a lot so I'm always posting while we talk.

My housemate is evil! She left out a catalogue to this company. Look at those make-up items! All of the pretty boxes are reusable. I'm so attracted to shiny things.

Glad to know you're in the market dbears, I've got around 2500 books spread in 17 book cases - I've go at least one room that is wall to wall bookshelves. Now that's called never getting rid of a book. I've got juat about anything anyone would want to read about - fact, fiction, culture, language, etc. But I've got to make room for all the Russian language books that hopefully will be arriving soon. Yikes, I don't want to buy another bookcase!

Ooooh yes Lush is LUSH indeed! Kinda glad we don't have them around here in MI (at least not too close...think there may be one in Detroit or Chicago but not 100%) I do love their stuffs though it is soooo yummy!

Then you'll be fine here, only chatterboxes so far. Sunnybear, I'm not suprised at your volume of chats. I even read your posting on the Peridress website, you're everywhere

It's a cold and miserable day today - they are even saying that we might see some snow flurries today- in APRIL! The project this weekend was successful, but it wound up meaning that I didn't get to enjoy any time off this weekend. I'll just have to make sure I work extra slow this week to recover my strength. I hope everyone else had a good weekend.

[Alex & Rachel 78]

We've already had two snowfalls this month; normally the UK is lucky to get one, and that's usually in February/early March!

sunnybear - oh, I know, I love Lush...but this subdivision of their company I'd not heard of before. Ah! I foresee some make-up being bought at the weekend (and I'm not even a big make-up wearer).

Blake - I fully support you working extra slow this week.

Thanks - I soooooo tired .... ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You guys are so talkative over here! The February CSC filers are so quiet! Can I come hang out with you guys?

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Of course you may! This thread is open to all, and since you can never guarantee the service centres to go in chronological order you may well expect to receive your NoA2 at the same time as us anyway.

Hmmm...for my own selfish reasons I would love to get my NOA2 at the same time! However, my sense of fairness really says that I hope you guys get yours first. Right after all of the '07 filers who haven't gotten theirs yet. Of course...I hope that CSC suddenly jumps to hyperspeed and we all get ours this week!

Don't worry about fairness in this process because I really don't think that applies here. Look for things to pick up this week and then hyperdrive in May (with a short week for memorial day) and then hot and heavy until the fourth of July (I hope it won't be that long for us). That was what played out last year, it'll be interesting to see if the same occurs this year. Fingers and toes crossed as usual
