No, all my cakes and cookie went. There was hardly anything left and what small amount was left was taken to the wards and shared out. Didn't eat that much either. Aren't I a good girl.

Take care folks.

Hi Tarian, we saw the yellow object briefly this lunchtime but it's spitting with rain again now. I have just finished cleaning up the aftermath of lunch- just in time to start on supper!
Hey we would never be harsh, we are all aware of the learning curve we follow. Every story sees improvement, new techniques learned from our editors, and passed on to other members. Share and share alike - and when one of us makes the grade we are happy for them.
It's good news that your son is home safe and well, us mums worry. Once a mum always a mum! Mine once said children break your arms when they're babies and your heart when they're older.
Hi Sarah,
Its good to hear from you. What you say is so true I have had broken bones and heart but they fix and then we go on to the next thing. A roller coaster ride.
I love writing but i think being a mum is the most important job. I am so happy tonight. He will be in Tidworth by 1.30am and he is going to pop to Bristol tomorrow. I hope i can sleep. I love both my boys soooo much. I had better try and sleep now.
I will probably be round some time tomorrow as I wont be writing.
Good Night

Hi everyone, I haven't slept a wink all night. I am too excited. Six months is a long time. Soooooo excited.
That's the whole point, isn't it? Just to try, but if you alredy think you are not going to finish it, then you probably won't, try and be more positive!I'm short of a cover and 4 stories, a wekk behind schedule for the anthology...grrrr!
Darkangel wrote: "Have they been done but just not sent to you yet?"To tell you the truth, i have no idea! I have sent everyone a message to send them by thrusday. If it wasn't becuase i only have 4 stories I would just send them now. So really needing those last 4, if not there won't be any point of publishing the anthology.
Tarian wrote: "Hi everyone, I haven't slept a wink all night. I am too excited. Six months is a long time. Soooooo excited."Make the most of your time together, spoil him a little or a lot he's out there making the world a safer place for all of us and I salute him.

And Claire was off work Thursday for a long weekend it was her man's birthday and they went out for the day. I sent her the stuff I found on the net

Thank you! I hope Emme hasn't lost some of the stories! Have you gotten an email from Ella yet?
Which one did you make? Sophie and I made waffles on Saturday afternoon not happy with the recipe a bit on the heavy side for my liking will try a different one on Wednesday with her!
I made the soup potato and leek you send me, it was perfect becuase it was raining.I got a message from Emme, she said she sent all the stories back, so up to everyone else to send them to me. I have now five stories, do you think that will be enough? Including Darkangels poems...? Just incase i don' get anymore this week.

Not really thats what a max of 25000 words its more a pamphlet than an anthology!
There were other soups on the list below I think, my eldest daughter's favourite soup is leek and potato!

Oh well, ok...i'll keep my fingers crossed. As Darkangel says, maybe next year
Morning Sarah,Sorry quite busy in the office this morning.
Eva, I will give you my feed back on your flash fiction after lunch.
If the worst comes to it, maybe we could all do another short to add to it, just to boost it up a bit.
We could, but them that would be more editong and more time which is something we don't have anymore! Am I being too negative?That's cool.
Eva wrote: "We could, but them that would be more editong and more time which is something we don't have anymore! Am I being too negative?That's cool."
Who's not come back to you? Maybe remind them it's for charity - guilt trip and all that.

I did, I said until thrusday so then I can have it all ready for friday to send to barnardos. Give the charity 2 weeks to read and get the approval and the publish it. I was hoping while the charity had them , get the wepage/facebook page ready... Has your sis said anything about what you sent her?

I just phoned him. He said he is in town spending heaps of money on things he doesn't need. It must be like christmas to him. What a culture shock, one minute sat next to Prince Harry at dinner and then watching Bastion being attacked, the next in the mist and rain of England. I might try and get a nap before he comes but I don't think that would work. His wife was so excited last night I thought she was going to have a heart attack.I expect the dog will go potty to.
Sorry for waffling on (emm waffles) but my head is all over the place. Maybe i should have a second breakfast.
Kind regards to you all,
