What plans have you got?"Nothing much, taking Sophie for her riding lesson Saturday morning and other than that writing I suppose. I lead a very boring existence at the moment, I cook, I clean, I write, I watch television and sleep!
Alain is so pre-occupied with the house, his mother and now the hunting season as started too, he doesn't seem to have time for me and Sophie, we have to amuse ourselves! And when things aren't moving as fast as he wants with the house it seems to be my fault, I can't seem to do right for doing right.
Lol I have become a candidate for reading 'mummy porn' to spice up my life!
What does he hunt?That is a typical male, they never blame themselves, it is always our fault.

Pheasant,grouse,rabbit, hare, pigeon sometimes he goes on the organised hunt for roe buck and wild boar!
Yeah it is typically male to blame someone innocent, Lol you'd think after being married 3 times I'd have figured that one out by now! He still has a go at me from time to time over how much time I spend on the computer writing. Though I never once complain about how much time I spend twiddling my thumbs waiting for him to turn up.
Maybe a few hints should be dropped every now and then. ;o)
Darkangel wrote: "Maybe a few hints should be dropped every now and then. ;o)"I suggest doing things and I'm in the wrong - I think he's having his second mid life crisis or is it his third! At least the puppy's affectionate I don't even get a kiss of a morning now and I have to ask for one at bedtime too. He could be right about one thing, I might think twice when I make it big time, and he will live to regret neglecting me!
Oh know, then he will say that he stood by you whilst you spent hours writing on the computer. Men always turn it around!
Darkangel wrote: "Oh know, then he will say that he stood by you whilst you spent hours writing on the computer. Men always turn it around!"You are so right, it would once again be all my fault, lol he'd probably even instigate my ex to agree with him!
His words when I said I wanted a divorce 'I always knew you'd leave me when I got old.' My reply 'you've always been old, so when would have been a good time then?'
LOL - i like that response, maybe that should slip in to GOD somewhere...
Darkangel wrote: "LOL - i like that response, maybe that should slip in to GOD somewhere..."Yep if I find the right place I will be sure to, that and the other pearler I came out with he went to the doctors and came back with a face as long as next year.
'What's up with your smiling face' says I, reply 'doctor told me I have to take a tablet every day for the rest of my life' my reply 'well how many did he give you then?'A months supply renewable for 6 months' 'well there you go then at least he didn't just give you 3 tablets!'
'That's it make fun of me, you don't care about me......' Drama queen! You are probably reading chapter 4 I know!
Just got it, and what a cracker. You are very quick of the mark. I would have probably thought of that reply 2 days later - lol
Darkangel wrote: "Just got it, and what a cracker. You are very quick of the mark. I would have probably thought of that reply 2 days later - lol"I have my father's witty sense of humour - My former boss and I used to spar verbally with each other, he had the same dry sense of humour!
Sometimes I can be quick, depends what mood I am in, other times the blonde just kicks in.
Darkangel wrote: "Sometimes I can be quick, depends what mood I am in, other times the blonde just kicks in."Oh the blonde comedy is usually the funniest! Like a male friend who is a blonde on the inside only told us one night that the old man living next door had only got to be as old as he was because of his age! He would say it when we were eating apple crumble and custard wouldn't he! It went everywhere!
LOL - that it the kind of thing that I would do.
Sophie doesn't know that I will adopt Dolly for her does she?
Darkangel wrote: "Sophie doesn't know that I will adopt Dolly for her does she?"No, I said if we were to perhaps adopt Dolly it would mean she would have to save 1 euro a week to help with her food! She said it was like having her own horse but without having to scoop up the poop!
Right dinners in the oven, I'm off for a shower and then to the bank on my way to pick up Sophie and Victorine! Talk later.
Just called the horse sanctuary and they will send to France, So later I will need Sophies' full name, I already have your address. It wont arrive till closer to Christmas.
Darkangel wrote: "Just called the horse sanctuary and they will send to France, So later I will need Sophies' full name, I already have your address. It wont arrive till closer to Christmas."Okay I'll give it to you now Sophie Anne Casley or as we call her Sophie Anne Casse Pieds!
Cool, will adopt at the end of October, that way gives plenty of time to get there before christmas.
My morning is going ok still need to get the kids to school
Trisha wrote: "Morning"Morning Trisha,
It's dry here at the moment and the sun is shining too which is always a bonus.
O-mi-god... I think the critics could be right. Why did my editor tell me 'he said, she said and so on was irrelevant? Make the reader work a little, don't hand it to them on a plate, she said, and do you know what - she was spot on.I certainly won't be paying full price for A Casual Vacancy not with what I saw of the first two pages I won't!
?? what is this referring to Sarah? Is this referring to the email you just sent - BLONDE MOMENT!
Darkangel wrote: "?? what is this referring to Sarah? Is this referring to the email you just sent - BLONDE MOMENT!"Yes sorry the email went into draft for some reason, my blonde moment - http://www.barnesandnoble.com/sample/... here go take a look for yourself!
I have to admit, it is not holding me. Not one for my list.
Darkangel wrote: "I have to admit, it is not holding me. Not one for my list."No me neither, and they were right about the language it's a little over the top and shocking coming from her! She should have stuck with what she knows.
She should go back to childrens books and maybe be the English Judy Blume...

It's dry and foggy
Darkangel wrote: "We have sunshine believe it or not."I hope u get to enjoy it
Not likely, I can see it, but by the time I finish work, it will be dark.
Darkangel wrote: "Not likely, I can see it, but by the time I finish work, it will be dark."That's too bad
I know, unfortunately I am used to it.
Darkangel wrote: "I know, unfortunately I am used to it."At least I can go out and take advantage of the weather should I so desire. The new Marian Keyes isn't being rated that hot either.
I'm on hold for reading at the moment, well of my books anyway.
Everything is on hold for me I have a horrible headache
Darkangel wrote: "I'm on hold for reading at the moment, well of my books anyway."Have you done your edits for Emme yet?
Trisha wrote: "Everything is on hold for me I have a horrible headache"Poor you, do you suffer from migraine?
Darkangel wrote: "Doing them now."Have you got loads of green lines running here there and everywhere?
Red/orange ones, but just deleting comas here and there and a few typos - hee hee.
Darkangel wrote: "Red/orange ones, but just deleting comas here and there."Mine were green. I will have to ask Emme what the different colours signify next time I speak to her.
I am being very naughty and tweaking GOD!
Darkangel wrote: "You are terrible - lol"Yes but it will make it better I promise!
