    What a wonderful day! Right, I advise people reading this to hold onto the seats...I managed to buy On Beauty and The Time Travellers Wife for...65p!! Yes, 65p for both!! I bolted so fast from the library, convinced they had made some mistake with the pricing. Now, for the other news, my publisher called today with news that I am going to be the feature of a two page spread in the Times! (:
  • JennyJenny
    Wow! That's great news. Please let us know which day it will appear.
  • TillyTilly
    Fantastic news! Tell us more!

    The 25th of september I think. (: Thanks.
  • Stan2Stan2
    Well done MM - I must be sure to buy the Times on 25th September.
  • CarolCarol
    We'll have to have a look. Remind us all nearer the day so we don't forget it. Congratulations.
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Well done! I'll watch out for it.
  • BetsieBetsie
    Don't let me forget to get The Times on the right day
  • JennyJenny
    Imagine the headline on the following day ...

    "Surprising surge in sales of The Times yesterday" !!!
  • JaceyJacey
    Well done, that's so great!  Do remind us nearer the time.
  • PattyPatty
    Yes, well done.
    We take the Times anyway and 25th September is a Monday - but presumably your name will not be given as Morbid Maiden?

    Well done you!
  • BudBud
    I will buy a copy of The Times on the day your article appears. I don't ever buy it, so you should take that as a high compliment. Well done :)

    Morning Morbid Maiden,

    So today is "THE DAY" for The Times. Sales may, just possibly, reach record numbers.

    Congratulations MM! I'll have to have a look!
  • CarolCarol
    I'll be having a look too. Congratulations.
  • KangarooKangaroo
    Wow MM. I'm glad you're here.

    Thanks Jay, for the link.

    MM, you've clearly been through a tough time.  A friend of mine at university was anorexic, and even though I lived with her for a time, she managed to hide it by eating lots of pasta (no weight gain), and used to unhook the phone while she was eating. Unfortunately, I didn't recognise the signs, as she was slim anyway, though luckily she got help.  She's still very ill, however.  I'm just glad that when we're back in the UK, I can see more of her, because she's moved to my home area.

    She's a lovely person, and I do worry about her constantly.
  • CarolCarol
    As said thanks Jay.
    I found the interview very interesting, and I'll now know what to pick up on if it ever occurs in my family. There were things there that I recognise in one of my children, so I can monitor the situation.
    Thanks MM for you and your family giving this insight.
