Ok .
I am off to Borders to buy it
Enjoy the reading girls

...

JezThank you, darling. Is it "Promise" you've mentioned?
I've "Palomio". It's about tough family retations. The main character was sent to a ranch to spend four months there and to improve her psycological state. The holiday appeare dto have changed her life. Haven't read it yet as I'm reading "Coming out" now. Another one is "Toxic Bachelors". Intriguing headline, isn't it? The action takes place during summer holiday cruise in the Mediterranean. Three bachelors are about to have their single lives rocked to the core.
There's one more I've already read - "Impossible", very nice.

I am finally back home from the long day out shopping. I finally bought "The Promise" from the WHSmith in stead of Borders as I was tired of 6 hours of walking. The book is pretty small. Actually it was the smallest one on the raw of Danielle Steel's books. So if you ladies would like, after reading it I will post it to you. So someone else will enjoy it

Overal it was a nice day. I saw loads of staff. And so many tihngs for the early education as well. I know now where to register for the baby shower. I loved the early baby books from 0 months! It is amazing. We can now teach them from very first day. And I spent half a day sorting them. Unfurtunately, I couldn't buy as the stock was new, and not priced yet. But I will return soooon!

Splattie,
Borders, WHSmith and etc are the main book stores. There are other hundreds of them. But when I looked up on the internet in the morning the Borders was the closest ones.
I guess Eason is the big book shop as well?

I found out that it is better to buy online, as it was cheaper at least 2-3£ rather than in store. And there are a lot of books I would like to get and read for the moment.

Wow, you ladies are quick to action! I thought we were going to deliberate first, then see if anyone else has any proposals, etc. But I guess we are decided.
I'll go pick up "Promises" in our Barnes & Noble (but we also have a Borders).

Well I thought it is better to act rather than taking longer time to decide
As I told I do not mind reading another book.
I have started it already. So far I like it. I am reading it before going to bed, and I have nice dreams afterwards. No nightmares. As the author describes it all in such a beautiful perspective that one starts to see the world through the pink glasses again

Try to have a look online, you might get it couple of $ less. In amazon.uk they are delivering free is you spend more than 5£. And you can at least buy it online and pick it up at the closest shop, so no delivery fee.

Hmm being and economist again some of my this ways makes my hubb laugh

Not only economical but very wise girl! You hubby should be proud of you

Proud, I do not know!

Ayisha, will your friends arrange a baby shower for you? This is where they all get together and buy things your baby will need in the future. I know it was very helpful when my friends did something like that for me. I am only starting to buy clothes for my son now, but did not need to do so until this point as we had more than enough. And don't go too crazy on buying newborn clothes because they grow out of them in 2 weeks!

Ladies, congratulate me - I got promoted at work to a higher position yesterday!

It's great, darling! May success attend you!
Have you had a party to celebrate the event? Or are going to?

We had a family celebration yesterday Nataly. Thank you for your wishes


I also have to apologize for not being here as often as I would like. Unfortunately, my workload is also a great deal heavier (and has been for the last several weeks), so I can only look in sporadically, and may not have time to reply to all the topics. I hope you chat a whole lot, on my behalf as well

Jez,

Conratulations on your promotion! This is such a great news! Enjoy your new post and be it the work you go to with pleasure everyday!

And so not worry on not showing up much. All of us have some life and sometimes it takes whole lot of energy. Like me I do not work, but I have to sleep until the noon in order to feel like a normal person, as the work my body and the baby are doin seems like demanding more sleep

ANd thanks on a tip for baby clothes. I think I am getting to excited as it is the 1st one. Now I am trying to stop myself

NatalyS,
how have you been doing? (ah this makes me laugh remembering Joey from "Friends":
- How you doing )

Where are other girls? They seem to be busy too.

Hello, darling I'm all right. My dear girls, daughter and granddaughter are leaving for the Urals tomorrow You can imagine how I feel nowdays. I can say "A bit sad, otherwise all right". I know for sure thatI'll be missing them badly That's why I'm considering something to do to be busy as much as possible. Would you like to see my books by Danielle Steel? "Impossible" is the first one I've read and my daughter Olga brought me three more. Here they are.

NatalyS,
I am sorry your daughter and granddaughter are leaving. But you all love each other, and this love doesn't know the distance. I miss my mom a lot as well, sometimes we dream of each other at the same night. And I think it is because of the love!

I do not know any of those Danielle Steel books. The Promise is the 1st one. Have you read them already?

I bought some baby's 1st year books. And they are so nice. They explain how to take care of oneself while getting ready for the baby's arrival. And than explain how to take care of the baby week by week. A real treasure for me now.

Ayisha
Thank you, dear! Only those who are far away from their nearest and dearest can understand how difficult it is to be apart. but children should carve a career and try to realize all the opportunities they have.
As for the books I've read only "Impossible" and now reading "Coming out". There are books by the author in our book shops but in Russian. The ones you see were bought in Yekaterinsburg. Thanks God , my daughter knows what to present her mum with. I liked "Impossible" very much, both the plot and the language. It's a bout complecated relations of a middle age woman - a very popular art dealer and a yuong artist that developed into true love. I can't say that I'm mad about love stories and the main reason why I began reading the novel was English. In the course of time I got interested in the plot as well. Very nice and tender.
Have you bought any music for you baby? There are many records for babies even new born. My drandchildren had been listening to classical music before they were born. It's special but great!

Could you, please, accept me in your sweet company ? My name is Olga. I'd like to practice English writing in the good company.

Hello ladies,

Here I am again. I was off for couple of days as per my health state. I was having problems to sleep due to leg and arm cramps. Besides the added constipation didn't make the picture look nicer. So I had to stay away from my comp for a while. The doctors say that I only have to keep drinking more and this is it. Ah the joys of the pregnancy But still I am tankful to God that he gave us this gift. And feeling the little one to move around makes me happy

NatalyS, I wish I would be close to my mom and to my mom in law. As being here I lack their love and attention. Sometimes we do not need anything than that. They can heal us with their love. When I feel lone and sad I just want to be next to my mom, so that she gives me that reconforting hug and take a nap at her knees. This feels like in PARADISE! So much love and warmth. Now I just want noth my moms to stay healthy and live long lives so that we can share those special moments.

Olga,
welcome to our club. Of course we will accpet you in here with open heart and everything else we can offer

By the way I have finished "The Promise". During the last 2 sleepless nights. I quite liked the twist. So I next time I order books I will try to get "Impossible" as well. Enjoy your reading ladies

Моментик
Darling, we are looking forward to meeting you in the ESR. Welcome! And don't forget to fetch new ideas and share your interests with us!

By the way, I had read Dating Game by Daniel Steel. Love the story. A lot of fun to read, the story has everything - drama, hope, romance, laugh. Hardly recommend it. Will try to find "Impossible" Honestly, I was looking for the good book to read, so, thank you, for point me in the right direction.

Dear Ayisha,

Good luck with your pregnancy! It's real happiness. Hope everything will be alright.

Моментик,

Thanks a lot for the nice wishes. It is very kind of you, and this kind of little things may light my day (yeah that simple ).

I was looking for some baby books to use from birth+ and instead ended up buying "Little women" by Louisa M.Alcott. I have heard so much about this book, so didn't even think twice before the purchase. It comes with the DVD, which is good to watch after having read the book. If it is decent enough I will send it to my sisters so they can read and watch the movie to enhance their knowledge of English.

Have a good day ladies!

Thanks a lot! As for me I can't say that I enjoy my having enough free time to do what I failed doing because I spent all the time with my daughter and granddaughter. They are in Yekaterinsburgh now and I miss them badly.
Nevetheless I"ve finished reading "Coming out" and must say that it's worth your attention as far as all of us are family women and the book can teach how to cope with different situations each family can face one day.

You girls woke up the book worm in me
I just ordered Danielle Steel "Coming out" and "Impossible"
I am looking forward to their arrival

"Coming out" and "Impossible

You won't be disappointed.
Here are five more books !
My dear Splattie presented me with them. I've already read three and now I'm reading "It must be love". A very interesting author. Both the plot and the language are superb! Though she doesn't seem to involve a reader into different intrigues, just describing everyday life of ordinary people. That's why they are so interesting. I strongly advise you to read them.
