Well, you won't believe this but my story is not very romantic. We were in Edinburgh (where I went to college) celebrating student loan day and went to a gay bar because drinks are cheap and you can have a laugh without any threat of male bravado.We were fairly drunk, I was having so much fun that I proposed to him, he said yes and after that is a blur. The next morning I woke u with six on my hair, he bent over me with a glass of water and an aspirin and said, Lets get you a ring! Of course my family think it's a different story...lol
Well it was romantic in a sort of way - lolJust got my edits back, not too many for me to think over. Do they go back to Emme again after that or do you need them then?
Very funny Eva. What a hang over. So are you married yet?

OK, will try and get it to you by this afternoon.Am I right in thinking that Ella is not doing the front cover?
I think if we were in las Vegas instead of Edinburgh we problably would've been married that same night.

Well maybe not Hugo (Stitch) not at the moment as he had to clean up after him before he went to work this morning - he should be so lucky I have cleaned up after him three times so far each time we get a bit nearer the door! The annoying part is I had taken him outside to play and he didn't feel the urge then!

Bali looks nice!
Darkangel wrote: "LOL - I want gothic wedding with a castle - don't think that will happen."I'm sure you could find a castle who do weddings what you wear is up to you! I take it it will be black or blood red?
Darkangel wrote: "OK, will try and get it to you by this afternoon.Am I right in thinking that Ella is not doing the front cover?"
She is , she is sending Sarah what's she has done already to see if Sarah can help out with the logo... I hope it's quick

No wonder you didn't tell your mothers the truth!
@ Sarah - I would be in black with red roses, my attendants would be in blood red ;o)

Send them back to Emme, I did last week I haven't checked if she has sent it back to me yet!
Darkangel wrote: "OK, will try and get it to you by this afternoon.Am I right in thinking that Ella is not doing the front cover?"
Not sure who's doing it she was still having problems with it!

Darkangel wrote: "@ Sarah - I would be in black with red roses, my attendants would be in blood red ;o)"Different, I would be tempted to go for the blood red too but not sure if I will go the long dress this time! Hog roast in the back garden has been mentioned better make sure I have plenty of antihistamines in hand!

Okay I will go over and look again. Still nothing I even checked the deleted mail just in case I hadn't noticed it!
Got my edits back from Emme, this is happening guys!!!! so exited!!! I better get my finger out and get that tax think sorted this month, eh?
Eva wrote: "Got my edits back from Emme, this is happening guys!!!! so exited!!! I better get my finger out and get that tax think sorted this month, eh?"what tax thing is that?
Must have been love at first sight and by the time you were sick he was probably blinded by his ownhang over. I think its all quite romantic, if he has seen you at your worst first off. Then it must be up hill after that.
A tropical beach with big surf it is, I met get more guests that way. Not many people would want to be stood by the English sea in the wind and rain. If that were the case we would all have to wear black to match the weather.

What I didn't realise was it went transparent when it was wet and no one thought to tell me, not even my dad!
I must have looked real attractive with my long hair all over my face coughing and spluttering every time I fell off!

Well because it's self publish you have to pay tax on the profits, being an american company I have to fill up a tax form so i don't get taxed for it. I thought that maybe it would be barnardos that would have to fill the form but createspace said it has to be the erson that donates the money, just waiting for an email from barnardos with how they would prefer to get paid, bank trasnfer or cheques and the address
Once I have it all set up I'll post the user name and password so we can all check how much we've sold, only if my details are not on it...
Ha!ha!I have been in similar situation snorkling in France. The thing is when I say surfing I am not actually meaning surfing as you know it. My kind of surfing requires much more skill and the tricks are spectacular. Some people might call it body boarding but we have less hanging about than the surfer dudes, who are mostly power napping on their boards. And you ought to see some of my somersaults.
Here is the emailHello Eva,
Thanks for writing back to us.
I reviewed our previous correspondence and your query. I'm really sorry that our message wasn't more clear. I understand that you are concerned about tax implications. The tax details will have to be in your name or the donor organization and not in the name of the beneficiary charity.
I hope that this helps to explain things more clearly. If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us at anytime.
Did I solve your problem? Let us know here: https://www.createspace.com/Special/L...
Best regards,

@Sarah, i've forwarded the emails from createspace to you, maybe you can something I haven't.
Eva wrote: "@Sarah, i've forwarded the emails from createspace to you, maybe you can something I haven't."Okay I sent you an email you need to enter Barnardos as the receiver of royalties and being A UK Charity they are tax exempt due to the treaty signed by UK with the US. But you are right their letter is as clear as mud because later on in the first reply they contradict themselves! Talk to Barnardos ask them to furnish you with the necessary details for their tax exemption if they don't want to help they don't need the money that badly and I say we find another charity that will help! What does everyone else think about it?

I knew that, the only thing that confuses me is if I have to still fill a tax form...I just don't want to receive a tax bill

Why we aren't recieving anything - the whole thing is more trouble than it's worth perhaps we should just forget it, have you spoken to Barnardos?
after all the work we've done? I'll check LuLu out, maybe it will be easier with them
Eva wrote: "after all the work we've done? I'll check LuLu out, maybe it will be easier with them"Check out Amazon, maybe they will be more helpful but I still think you should speak to Barnardos publicity department!
I've checked lulu, they only want the tax details if you make so much money, so I think we are using lulu, i'll give them all the details of the charity and they can deal with it if we make tons of cash. What do you think?
Eva wrote: "I've checked lulu, they only want the tax details if you make so much money, so I think we are using lulu, i'll give them all the details of the charity and they can deal with it if we make tons of..."Go with Lulu whatever makes it less hassle for you, I'm all for an easy life! When I said forget it I meant giving it up for charity if we were going to end up paying tax on something we weren't receiving!
Sarah wrote: "Eva wrote: "I've checked lulu, they only want the tax details if you make so much money, so I think we are using lulu, i'll give them all the details of the charity and they can deal with it if we ..."yep, I think i'm going with lulu, I'll put the charity's details they can sort it out themselves, anyway if they take any tax it will be from the sales
Eva wrote: "Sarah wrote: "Eva wrote: "I've checked lulu, they only want the tax details if you make so much money, so I think we are using lulu, i'll give them all the details of the charity and they can deal ..."Exactly let them sort that out, they can claim that back from HM Inspector of Taxes! Looks like you had better start brushing up your French the new tax laws here for people who earn over a million a year are ridiculous at 75% of their earnings - I told Alain when I fall into this bracket we leave and buy a castle in Scotland and he can go grouse hunting on the glorious 12th!
Hey all, Hows the afternoon going so far?
Fine, everyone disappeared maybe it was something I said! I am up to chapter 23 with my edits of LTSC how are you going with it.
Not too bad, will ahve it finished over the weekend, if thats ok.
Darkangel wrote: "Not too bad, will ahve it finished over the weekend, if thats ok."Yep not a problem has anyone thought about a website to promote our compilation?
Yes, Eva is working on that I think, as soon as all our bios are done.
Darkangel wrote: "Yes, Eva is working on that I think, as soon as all our bios are done."Oh bum I'd forgotten about that do we have to send them to Emme or Eva?
Darkangel wrote: "can't remember to be honest"I'll send it to Eva then, I don't think even I could make that many mistakes in 150 words or less!
