Chat (Up Until 5/4/2013)
Carroll wrote: "Good morning. LOL Good night. LOL Going to bed."Morning Carroll, and sleep well and thanks for dropping in we were beginning to think we were alone in goodreads! Got any good pumpkin recipes, I got the pumpkins huge ones and lots of them!
Hiya hun, that is always a tough question because either way you look like the bad person. I think she deserves to know. Maybe drop a hint like - "Oh I saw so and so the other day, he didn't seem me, looked like he was in a rush etc". Especially if he was meant to be at work at that time. That is the only way I can think of without her coming outright and saying the truth.

Maybe drop a hint like - "Oh I saw so and so the other day, he didn't seem..."Jo did it the sneaky way she told someone with the biggest gob in the area, who said she was sure it was best to tell her, but before doing so she would telephone to let Jo know what she was about to do! She hasn't rung yet, I will be seeing the poor unfortunate woman on Wednesday at the pamper party. I have been known on occasions to open my mouth and put my size 6 feet in my open mouth on more than once!
So who knows! Well in truth by now it would seem everyone in the surounding area but Pippa!
A few glasses of wine and a little slip of the tongue could always work!
Sharon wrote: "A few glasses of wine and a little slip of the tongue could always work!"Well it won't be me that tells her then I have to drive back home later in the afternoon sophie has school on Thursday.
We'll let Fat Fay do it! Don't worry I'm not being mean it's what we nicknamed her and dates back to her being pregnant!
She's even better at dropping bombshells like this than me or Jo!
How about this:- Hi Pippa, I saw you and Chris last night in Domfront, I waved but you couldn't have seen me, you'd just got off the bike! I didn't think you liked riding pillion! It must have been you I thought how nice it was to see you kissing and cuddling us old marrieds normally don't do that!
Sounds perfect, even sounds perfect for a plot for one of your novels ;o)
Sharon wrote: "Sounds perfect, even sounds perfect for a plot for one of your novels ;o)"Mm... I'll keep that in mind maybe an Erika plot? I am now getting the bride ready for the wedding I have a brief stop off with the viagra and the old tart and then to the grand finale! 10300 plus I will come out at about 107 - 110,000 at an estimated guess. About the same as the first novel and that ended up at 102,000 at the end of the editing. An awful lot of that's this's and just's!
I know what you mean, they are great little add in words but then they end up too much lol.
Sharon wrote: "I know what you mean, they are great little add in words but then they end up too much lol."Yep the little beggars were everywhere, I got to the point oh not not another! What did you think of 43! He has gone off in search of his vigra I think I might have him bonking her senseless and Malcolm walk in, luckily for Gavin he has been true to his word and put a bag on her head.
So he'll make a comment about an ugly fat bird was all he could lay his hands on at such short notice. And that one hole was the same as another with the bag over her head and he was good at imagining as far as he was concerned he was f****** Claudia Schiffer! Oops blundered there sorry!
43 - very gripping. Very exciting. Loving it, can't wait to proof read it.
Sharon wrote: "43 - very gripping. Very exciting. Loving it, can't wait to proof read it."Nearly there hopefully I should be done by the week end unless Alain finds things I must do between now and then! He asks every day if the mower man has called which he hasn't, patience says I, knowing full well he has zero patience, he needs to learn to chill out!
No men have patience, it has to be dealt with yesterday - lol
Sharon wrote: "No men have patience, it has to be dealt with yesterday - lol"Or the day before, I'm worried he is developing Alzheimers he forgets everything lately, he locked his house the other day and left the keys in the lock for three days he had me searching everywhere for them. He swore blind he had bought them here!
He was lucky they were still there then.
Sharon wrote: "He was lucky they were still there then."Here you can still do that and get away with it, I leave my car unlocked for days at a time. Who would take my old battered bright red right hand drive, English plated car anyway.
No one the police would pull them in no time it does rather stick out a bit like a sore thumb!
Sharon wrote: "If only England was as safe as that."That's why I'm here, its a safer place to bring up a child, don't get me wrong there are still perverts here, but everyone knows everyone else's child. It's kind of a enormous babysitting ring.
She chases through the field of corn behind the house with the dog and I don't worry, except that she might get lost and be frightened but the dog will always lead her home.
Children here can be children, without the same worries I would be a basket case bringing her up in England never letting her out of my sight.
Completely understand that. Send me over some pumpking receipes please. They sound lovely ;o)
Sharon wrote: "Completely understand that. Send me over some pumpking receipes please. They sound lovely ;o)"Okay will do I will send you the magazine family fun with the recipes in from email later. Time to haul ass and run around with the hoover and whisk something up for lunch! I think we might try the hamburgers with fries today, no pumpkin today ooh sorry I lied there are still several pumpkin custards to eat!
Morning all, What delights are you facing today?
Sharon wrote: "Morning all, What delights are you facing today?"Im off to Normandy to see the baby and as usual I am running late! Back late tomorrow evening. Have fun!
TTYT
Same to you hun, I am working on some of my poetry for a change. :o)
Sharon wrote: "Same to you hun, I am working on some of my poetry for a change. :o)"Morning hun
God I am slow to get going this morning, the drive last night with Sophie talking non stop about absolutely nothing at all from Normandy to home took it out of me I'm afraid. I think I am going to go back to bed for a while. TTYL
Morning all, I had that the other week when I went to See Lee Evans, My friens daughter was so excited, she forgot to stop for breath.
Sharon wrote: "Morning all, I had that the other week when I went to See Lee Evans, My friens daughter was so excited, she forgot to stop for breath."
I can usually switch off but I had a very rare commodity in my eyes too! The sun going down on me and I was heading West! I couldn't see a thing at times, I was glad when it started getting dark!
I have to admit, I do like the dark, it is what inspires me the most ;o)
Sharon wrote: "I have to admit, I do like the dark, it is what inspires me the most ;o)"Yes me too but now I'm suffering and as you can see I didn't go back to bed! I'll make another expresso then I may be awake enough to unpack!
I just went and got a caramel latte and cranberry flapjack, just to boost the energy to get me through the long day.
Sharon wrote: "I just went and got a caramel latte and cranberry flapjack, just to boost the energy to get me through the long day."I hope that is a diet flapjack, though I have to own up to a McChicken sandwich last night without the fries though.
Full of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, so I would hope it would be a diet one, but I did have a chinese last night but I have the rest of my dinner for my lunch today - naughty I know but it is lovely.
Sharon wrote: "Full of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, so I would hope it would be a diet one, but I did have a chinese last night but I have the rest of my dinner for my lunch today - naughty I know but..."Sometimes it just has to be done!
Sharon wrote: "I totally agree"I still feel tired out, all my get up and go has got up and gone. I enjoyed my pamper day though, I had reflexology on my feet, Jo said it was painful though I didn't find it so, but the Indian head massage was lovely. Though not advisable in your lunch hour! You come out looking like Worsel Gummidge!
Oh dear, good job I have my hair straighteners today ;o)
Sharon wrote: "Oh dear, good job I have my hair straighteners today ;o)"Why are you going for an Indian head massage too! Morning how are you today hun?
I'm still tired if that's what reflexology does for you I'll give it a miss! Though I wouldn't mind trying a fish pedicure! Apparently you put your feet in a tank full of little fish and they nibble away at all your dead skin!
I might be going to have one of those at the weekend.... I am fine, busy as hell today as Fiona is off sick so I am covering her at the moment.
Sharon wrote: "I might be going to have one of those at the weekend.... I am fine, busy as hell today as Fiona is off sick so I am covering her at the moment."What the fish pedicures, you'll have to let me know what it feels like!
We are going to look at Alain's brothers caravan he's selling it cos he's just bought a posher one It will be useful for when we get invaded with people wanting to come for a holiday and we do have the room! Then they can cook there own breakfasts!
That is a good idea, camping in your back garden. There is a place near where i live that do the fish pedicures but to date, I still ahve not found it yet!
Sharon wrote: "That is a good idea, camping in your back garden.

Yes I think so too you and monst could come over for a break! Mind its a long drive from Calais our nearest ferry port is St Malo that's about 120 km the same distance as the airport which is just down the road at Dinard!
I will look in to that one, especially as my boss has a house in Brittany and she said I could use the house whenever I want (providing she is not using it).
Sharon wrote: "I will look in to that one, especially as my boss has a house in Brittany and she said I could use the house whenever I want (providing she is not using it)."You will probably find its just down the road from us!
Find out where it is and I will locate it on mappy for you!
haha ok, finally found the chat room, hi. :)>.< also Sarah, i'm not blonde, I'm ASIAN! so I have black hair =.="
Will do when she is back in on Tuesday. What you got planned for today?

Cool, I'll swap! Welcome to the chatroom nice to have someone else to talk too, Sharon and I thought we had BO or something. We very rarely get to chat to anyone else, being in Europe we are always in the wrong time zone to be able to chat to the others!
Sharon wrote: "Will do when she is back in on Tuesday. What you got planned for today?"Lunch in about 20 minutes waiting for Alain he's just rung to say he was late finishing work and then I think I might nip quickly into Pontivy to Lidl and see if they still have any of the footbaths with pedicure attachments left. I didn't have the spare cash when they were first in so I might not be lucky, and treatments like the fish tank cost an arm and probably a leg and I would have to drive to the coast to a spa, I think the nearest is in Finistere. Yes that place on the shipping forecasts really does exist!
That is always the way when you see something you like or want. Happens to me all the time - lol
Sharon wrote: "That is always the way when you see something you like or want. Happens to me all the time - lol"Yep, my own fault I overspent by going to Normandy with the hotel fuel and treatments I spent more than I should have. I couldn't stay with Jo there wasn't the room with her friend from England being there too. Pity I didn't have the caravan then I could have taken it with me!
naw, that's so cool you guys are in europe. i feel so isolated living in Australia D: 'cause usually when i'm on, every one else is going to bed >.>but i have holidays now so i get to go on more during the day :)

How are you this morning it's grey and damp here, not the weather we were promised at all, it was supposed to be fine until Wednesday evening. Why do the weather people only manage to predict the bad weather correctly?
We should re-name this chat Sharon and Sarah's moan page, no one else seems to drop in!
I'm having a change of vegetable today I'm making carrot cake and I might sneak in a chocolate pumpkin cake for good measure!
I said I would make them for Jo she is having a pamper party, beauty treatments in the home tupperware style!
