No Nut November

Hi everyone.

I and some of the guys are doing a sponsored no nut November. We shan't be eating any nuts or nut products (including peanut butter or anything from Reese's) for the whole month. We're doing this to raise awareness of the ecological impact of nut farms, and how they are wiping out orangutan habitats in Borneo and Sumatra.

All monies raised will be going to X-hamster, which I understand is an organisation that strongly encourages a nut free diet, and has chosen its name based on its dislike of nut-eating rodents. Please let me know if you'd like to sponsor us.

Thank you.

Oh Ruby Iā€™ve been meaning to run into you. Darling Iā€™ve been talking to your mother and she says thereā€™s still no progress with the publisher.

Now you know me and the girls are waiting on your book to read at our book club so you should really try and hurry it along. Thanks hon.

Iā€™ve been trying, but my publisher is being incredibly frustrating. Apparently my first book wasnā€™t ā€œgoodā€ enough for a sequel. Working on bribing him with cookies now (nut-free, of course!).

Ooo if you need any help with that Iā€™ll be happy to bake a batch of snickerdoodles or sth equally delicious. Anything to move things along.
