Chicken, ham and mushroom in a creamy sauce with pasta thank heaven for left over chicken!
Yes I am this is way better so excited.Just a couple of hours now. Have been on kindle reports to bring me down a bit. I haven't sold any of my book except to family and a couple of friends and its a bit sad when I get happy because two people have downloaded them for free. Still there are much more important things in this world than what goes on in my head. He should be here in about an hours time. Once he is skint.

I do use twitter but it hasn't made any difference yet.
Tarian wrote: "I do use twitter but it hasn't made any difference yet."I think you just have to keep at it, spend time grooming your followers - ask them to RT. Has your son landed yet?
Tarian wrote: "I do use twitter but it hasn't made any difference yet."Okay I started your ball rolling tell people about the giveaway ask them to show their appreciation by following! That way you boost your followers you have to work at Twitter - I did and now I have over 2200 followers since May this year.
Thanks for the advice Sarah.I will do that. I am grateful to your support. I am still finding my way round this computer thing.

I didn't know you had a giveaway? by the way, still no sign of the ebook on amazon...
I know I just looked and it doesn't seem to be on the free list. If you want to take a look it is...

I think the problem is that I am always so busy writing the next book that I kind of forget the others. If my books were children I would always be favoring the new born. Not good really, my other books are neglected syblings to my latest. Its all such a big learning curve.
Thanks for all your help.

Lol Sophie's friend reminded me of an episode worthy of Growing Old Disgracefully- driving back to school she put her hand on the gear lever and squealed 'it vibrates' and reminded me of a story which just has to go in the book!

Fine its cold wet and miserable here but I have my own personal foot warmer- Hugo he crawls under the chair and keeps my feet toasty warm, whilst making sure I don't go anywhere!
And I'm not just going for his balls I want everything he owns shared out between all the authors he's
duped!
Hey sarah, got your emails, how many stories did you send me? what name you want me to put on? Good news, I have Marks story as well! Only trisha's and rishika left.
@Darkangel, tell us more about the other anthology story!

Morning, Sorry all, got extremely busy in the office yesterday.
@Eva, not a story, just one of my poems called Eclipse going into a book called Whispers in the Breeze and actually got home last night to see another one accepted. This one is called Fizzy Cola Bottles and Foam Bananas going in to an anthology called Down Memory Lane.

I sent you two poems under the same name Sarah R Weldon they may not be suitable I don't know but I thoght it might just fill it out a little.

Wow two poems I have the gestapo on my heels, I was just dusting my desk and keyboard and I hadn't even switched it on and he's whinging on the computer again! Roll on two weeks today when he's back at work!
How does he expect you to be a writer, without going on the computer?I think a few poems scattered here and there inbetween the stories, will help it quite a bit.

I was reminded yesterday of an episode that will be perfect for growing old disgracefully by Sophie's friend who said the gear lever vibrates. It triggered a story my late husband told me, supposedly true but extremely funny nontheless, and the woman's not likely to complain as she sadly died 8 years ago, and it will be happening to Helen I think!
I give up and like I said I was actually tidying up!
Typical men.That sounds very interesting ;o)

Hilarious fortunately I never saw the woman after my husband told me the story because I wouldn't have been able to keep a straight face!
Gestapo's gone to fetch the girls, I just had to rescue my two paint rollers, nothing wrong with them but Alain decided we don't need them and threw them out. I wouldn't mind but they're not his and one of them is a telescopic roller, brilliant for doing the celing when you're short like me and scared of heights! And you can't buy them here bloody French ones are useless!
If you were to throw away something of his, I bet he would kick up a stink.
Darkangel wrote: "If you were to throw away something of his, I bet he would kick up a stink."I'll try it later, all his 'films 'de cul'' I don't agree with having them in the house! He doesn't even throw his old socks away, I have to wait until he's not here to dispose of them!

Morning girls!Thanks Darkangel!
Rishika has backed out, said that she is to busy at work to send me the story...

No. Just the pleasure of being in print again.
Darkangel wrote: "No. Just the pleasure of being in print again."Is it for charity then?
It's just an anthology from forward press
