Oh, book club? I was about half way though The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion before my Thesis shit got crazy. Can't wait to go back and finish it/ start it again. Amazing read (at least so far).

Thanks, that genuinely means a lot to me
Legend!! Ok I'm off to follow them. We're not missing this if they release more! I'll mention you in a post so you get a notification should you decide to go AWOL and break my heart (hint hint)

I'll add it to my list! I just finished Donna Tartt's Goldfinch. She should have done a Harper Lee and stopped after Secret History. The editor should be hung up by the fingernails. It was over 800 pages that would have been good had it not exceeded 500. Sigh...
lmao!!

I've decided I'm going to open an Instagram account. I love the idea of a visual diary.

normally we'd just say that we are going to the doctor. gp is used more to distinguish a doctor from a specialist. but glitter prostitute may take off.Hehe. So do people say something like, "I'm going to see the general practitioner", when they are feeling sick? If that's the case I'm going to say, I'm going to see the glitter prostitute", next time I'm sick.
Like I said in my previous post though, it's certainly nothing to do with being unhappy about how people in here speak about a favourite (in my case Jade)...quite the opposite really. More the fact that we will come in here and comment on a HM other than Jade and pretty much get told to piss off back to the JA thread. Every time I've seen in happen to me (or another poster from the JA thread), we were told to piss off when we hadn't even mentioned Jade's name. That's what's so upsetting because some of us have been posting on this board all series in a range of different threads, about a range of different issues, but now we're feeling like we're not welcome in here and our opinions are automatically void because we're Jade fans.
Anyway, I really regret bringing it up earlier. I guess I really am "agro" (Thanks TullylovesDrew btw). So yeah, whatever. I've had enough. I don't want to be getting upset over a freaking BB forum.
Oh and I think there was only 1 or 2 people who mentioned or thought the words "Tim groupies" lol. I actually have no idea where that one came from.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves! I'm yet to say it's a great book
But lets face it, you haven't been wrong in your judgements so far lol.
I'm looking forward to adding a favourite to my book collection

If books just go on unnecessarily I give up. My list is too long to put up with crap like that. The next one on my list after The Rosie Project is A Teaspoon of Earth and Sea by Dina Nayeri. It's already loaded onto my e-reader in anticipation of the ravenous amounts of reading I shall be doing when my thesis is over.

Description of how Annie and Nick and Ed know each other
ah "A Beautiful Mind"
so is she saying Nick and Annie had the current connection ?
are those Ed's dingleberries under his initials? who/what are HU and WA ? did Milly draw that after being in this thread as pookie?
Ed/Annie met/dated in 2005 fine, but in 2012 they become flatmates and do everything together? why? why not 4 footy players?
why label Ed/Annie/Nick/Nokki family breakfast?
why go to work with Annie ?
who did Ed's ironing he had an ironing board in his flat yet didn't know how to iron on BB?
who are the you guys on the new car clip?
why would Annie go on vacation right when Ed came out of the house if they were just close friends?
does the photo of her ring at the bottom of a toilet bowl mean something more? like she is done with the relationship with Ed ?
why were Annie and her friends watching the show in Ed's bed (Ed and Annie's ?)
why does it look like a 2 bedroom flat with only 2 queen/king sized beds?
why has Annie been so scarce since Ed got out? a simple good friend would be around all of the time
why did Annie go to Ed's eviction?
why did Tim say they were not a real couple when he just got out (referencing what other HM's had told him) Tully and Jazz partied at his flat with Annie and Nick while Ed was still in the house
this reminds me of this story I read a while back .. (this is NOT ... repeat NOT MY story!! lol)
I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the
week.
Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's office to
tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am.
I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was
already around 8:45am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn't have any time to spare.
As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene
when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to
make the full effort,
So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that
was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that
area to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth
in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and
raced to my appointment.
I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called
in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the
table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that
I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away. I was a
little surprised when the doctor said, "My, we have made an extra
effort this morning, haven't we?" I didn't respond.
After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The
rest of the day was normal. Some shopping, cleaning and cooking.
After school when my six year old daughter was playing, she called
out from the bathroom, "Mommy, where's my washcloth?"
I told her to get another one from the cupboard.
She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had
all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it."
Never going back to that doctor. Ever.

Usually over Christmas when I spend most of my time at the beach I have a crime fiction binge. It turns out my kindle is water and sand proof

Description of how Annie and Nick and Ed know each other
Is this real?! If so HOW HAVE WE NEVER FOUND THIS BEFORE?!!!!!!!!
I'm not [MENTION=35295]TullyLovesDrew[/MENTION] obviously but here's my take:
Annie knew Ed and Nick from their kid days (aka when Ed and Annie dated) and she also hooked up with Nick at some point? (the line next to NL and EL going to NL again)
Nick didn't have a gf from the time they met until at least 2005 (when they were a mere 18) and reconnected with Annie while Ed had a few honeys after "dating" Annie.
One of those people - HU (could be the name or also stand for hookup) knew someone (can't make out the scribble) who knew Nick and that person was the catalyst for Ed re-entering Annie's life/aka being her HM when he moved to Melbourne from Adelaide.
That was fun!!!
If you're spending your time trying to bait strangers on a forum then you really need to reevaluate your life. I honestly pity you. Especially if you're over the age of 12.
Love and sincere kisses (ie not the fake shit Ed gave Jade when he was desperate to stay in the house but REAL ONES),
