Hey - right I've tried to come up with something that suits everyone. A couple of people have approached me about different issues so I hope my order to send the book will be alright for everyone. Anyone who signs up after I put the order up will get tagged onto the end. It is as follows:

Me

mailia

Shelyra

slakker

mightyaphro
|
chana_batata

redwillie97

Any issues or problems send me a PM and I will try sort it out.

I definitely like the idea of it making another round (or two or three or four ) because then each person can see what fun stuff the other one wrote after them

Is there an English only rule in the book as well, like here

That's actually a good point I think. This could also be a great way to learn a few words of a local language. I'd be happy to see that.

Wow, I think this MF Book is really going to take off.

Rules of the book...

The majority of what you write should be in English although you can write what you want so if you do write something in your native language there should be an English translation so everyone can read it .

When decorating or filling in your page of the book try not to make it too heavy - for example sticking in heavy photographs or covering the page with heavy paper - just to keep the postage and bulkiness down really as this book has got a long way to travel.

Somewhere on the page that you write on should have your Mailfriends username, your country and the date you received the book or filled in the page. This will probably only need to be done on the first round of sending the book as by maybe the second round everyone will know each other a bit better.

Other stuff

Make sure when you send the book off to the next person you package it well (fairly obvious).

At this stage maranello has the book last so he will send it on to a newcomer if someone else signs up once we have got going or send it back to me and it will go round again so everyone else can see other's peoples handiwork.

You must PM the person you need to send the book to for their address.

Any problems/issues/concerns PM me

Hey, it would be cool if people mentioned when they got the book or sent it off so we could track its journey.

And then when I am next on the list I shall begin to become very excited.

(I think I stole the bulk of that line from the fox in _The Little Prince_ )

I received the book yesterday. I wrote it in Hobbies channel.

I'm so excited - can't wait to receive it

If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea.

Excellent idea so.... post a comment when you get the book and then maybe post a comment when you have posted the book on so the next person on the list knows roughly when to expect it

I'm so excited about the book I can't wait to see if it has started its journey's next leg.

Anyone else who hasn't seen this till now can still get in on it. PM Nicky.

(Hopefully Nicky's not after clubbing me now I've spoken so freely "for" her. )

Bumpity bump .... join up u peeps ...

Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, 'Grow, grow.'

Any word on where the book is now?

somewhere between malia and me - she has posted it but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm very excited and can't wait to get it

It sounds rather interesting.. How does it work? Do u like send it on to people overseas or something???

You thinking of joining? If you look up on this thread there is an order of people - Me - Mailia - Shelyra etc and that is the order the actual MF Book is being sent to, so yeah it does go to other countries, at the moment it's going to the UK, Germany, US, Greenland,Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina (I think) and maybe a couple of other places. We are looking for new people to sign up *wink wink nudge nudge*

just recieved it today and it looks great so far. but I still don't know what to write on my page

If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea.

Me too, I have no idea what I will draw or write on it when I get it. So maybe the extra time is a good thing.

From the sublime to the ridiculous is but one step--Napolean Bonaparte

I am thinking about it and all.. But whats it do.. Do u just write stuff in it or something??

You have a page in the book - you could draw a picture, write about yourself, what you did during the day, put favourite songs or quotes in there... anything you want really just so we get to know you better or the place you live or anything really. It's up to you.

I wasn't meant to walk this world without you - Kelly Clarkson - Maybe.

It seems to be moving along alot faster than I had anticipated...
And yeah..a little extra time might not be so bad..
but I have a feeling that if I plan on doing any certain thing..I'll just end up totally changing my mind.. .
I'll go with my instincts..I guess.

Only thing im concerned about is handing out my addie to sum1 i dont kno at all.. and a lil worried about freaks getting a hold of it

Thats the only reason im concerned.. U cant really blame me :roll:

so far no-one put his/her address in the book so there's only one person who will have your address - the person before you so he/she can send it to you.

I'm just finished my page and will bring it to the post office this afternoon. so it is on it's way

Sign me up!

Wicked! Welcome to the mailfriends book I will inform Peter (maranello) who will be posting you the book so when it's time for him to pass it on he will message you for your address.

I wasn't meant to walk this world without you - Kelly Clarkson - Maybe.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Won't spend a lot of time now because I may get a different bee in my bonnet every day.

OK, it's on its way to Sweden, then to the person before me. Woooo hooooo
