Depends whether I have to play chef 2 michelin acroche for all and sundry!
People treat my house like a four star restaurant, they only thing they don't do is pay! I run round they eat and go, they don't even volunteer to wash up!
Sharon wrote: "OK hun, have fun preparing."Floor was clean, food disappeared like it was going out of fashion and guess what I got volunteered for varnishing the cabin tomorrow, and making 4 cakes for Sunday for a bingo afternoon that Alain isn't even going to!
Oops I forgot the peas!
OH dear you do get roped in a bit lol
Sharon wrote: "OH dear you do get roped in a bit lol"I have spent most of the afternoon looking for the sign that says gullable! Must be on my bum I think or tatooed under my hair like the 666 of the devil!
And I get to play chauffer saturday night too, chasse meal, laughs loudly all these men will be running around the French countryside Sunday morning after a night on the razz. Note to all ramblers in the area, stay at home next Sunday!
LOL, looks like you certainly have your work cut out for you! I wouldn't want to be in your shoes next Saturday night. :o)

If he hadn't come out for a cigarette he would have been walking home, he knows that at midnight the car turns into a pumpkin and cinders will be well on her way back to her bed with or without the coachman and princes are over rated!
You have to kiss too many frogs in order to find one!
Don't think I want to kiss any more frogs, I will just have to do with the one I have!
I was wondering if anyone here has read any of Dr. Laura's books? Because I have read: Ten Stupid Things Women Do To Mess Up Their Lives and How Could you Do that? I personally like her advice but some think she's freak and others say it's a terrible book. Your options.

I have now learnt by mistakes and I hope I am more carefeful. She say's tongue in cheek!
Sharon wrote: "Don't think I want to kiss any more frogs, I will just have to do with the one I have!"No I'm not kissing any more frogs either they get you into so much trouble! I now have to quickly wash the pots and high tail it to the parents evening at school!
Lucky me! TTYT

Since I don't have time on the weekends or during hte week to actually get into my wrtitting zone no. But lately I normally pefer writting anytime I have down time. Back when I was writting alot I did pefer writting durign the week becasue I could write daily and for some reason I write better when I am slightly tired and stresed out then when I am well rested and haven't had a busy day.
I HATE HOMEWORK!!!!! :) but the restaurant one fun!!!! :D
Hi Hun how's life with you today, I have Alain under my feet today, it's raining so he can't go out to play in his new playhouse!
HiyaIt is quite busy here for but the weather is quite nice. A little cold but the sun has got his hat on. Still having PC problems though!

That's not good, I have just been looking at a piece on the London Olympics, I hope you have booked your 3 weeks holiday at that time, and don't even think of wanting to eat out, get money from the ATM or god forbid die!
Ken Livingstone will probably ban dying for the duration of the Games!
No, I will be going away in August instead, so I will have fun trying to get to work!
Sharon wrote: "No, I will be going away in August instead, so I will have fun trying to get to work!"TRYING MAY BE THE OPERATIVE WORD! I'm glad Chris decided to get married this year and not next all the prices for cottages near and not so near will be sky high!
I'm making Paella for lunch the low fat version of course no chorizo!
Hiya all, how is everyone doing today?
Sharon wrote: "Hiya all, how is everyone doing today?"Hi sorry been painting the outside of the Wendy house with Alain today he's even messier when he paints than I am!
Morning HunIt's blooming cold here today, I lit the fire this morning the sun will probably come out later and then I'll be cooking but for now I'm just right.
I read through to chapter 10 last night whilst the Football was on the tele!
Hiya hun,It is freezing here as well, even Monst was cold last night and he put the fire on before I got home from work.

They've had snow for the past two days in Alsace, mind that's up near the border with Germany. Jo said its cold in Normandy too but we are set to have it colder than her! Lucky us, at least I have a gert great pile of wood, so we won't be cold.
log fire - sounds great. I reckon we will get snow soon, it is so cold. I certainly did not want to get out of my nice warm duvet into the cold air this morning.
Hi Carroll, the snow looks lovely, but here in England everything seems to come to a standstill. The trains drivers think the trains will not work in the snow then I can't actually get to work. Sometimes it is nice when I get snowed in and can not actually get to work - LOL It is nice to see especially on Christmas Day.
I have to agree with you on that one :)

Hi Carroll how are you? It bloomin cold here too even with the sun out. I finished Light the Seventh Candle finally! Sharon is in the process of proof reading it for me before I send it off to the Publishers. I'm going through it my end too! I started last night while the footie was on the television. I hate football! 22 men kicking a bag of wind around a field!
haha my mom's being real supportive in my singing! (said sarcasticaly). She says I suck! and my brother wants me to shut up because he's watching a movie! I FEEL TOTALLY LOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi HunCold again today, I have cooking to do - Tuna Pasta Bake for Sophie and her friend's lunch and prepare salmon au gratin for the adults, and a chocolate pumpkin cake when I can find the recipe!
Hmmm, I'll have what Sophies having :)It's cold here too, I am already on my 2nd cup of coffee just to warm the bones up.
Yes I like that too, the slamon's good too! But on a day like today pasta n cheese sauce sticks to your ribs and gives you the boost to continue!How's the reading going? I am up to chapter 25, almost halfway. Not too many goofs, some re-arranging and word removal seems to be the order of the day.
Did I really write the sex scenes!? There a bit naughty!
I agree but I think they work well, I am about half way through to, and loving it so far.
Sharon wrote: "I agree but I think they work well, I am about half way through to, and loving it so far."Good, I bet it will shock the hell out of the publisher!
Definitely, but then lots of books have that shock factor and it works wonders.
Sharon wrote: "Definitely, but then lots of books have that shock factor and it works wonders."Its a good job they haven't seen a photo of mumsy little me, before they read the book or they'll think someone else wrote it for me!
LOL - yes I can see what you mean on that one. :)
Sharon wrote: "LOL - yes I can see what you mean on that one. :)"talk later on the hoof meals on wheels to guern
Suns out here its warm in the sun but in these old stone houses it stays the same temperature all year round if you don't heat them. Great in summer when its hot and you are like me and don't do heat but when it gets to late October you need to light a fire about 4 ish in order to be comfortable for the evening.Wendy House is all painted and he has taken roof of the old ecurie and him and his brother are taking it down this afternoon. We need the cornerstones and the big pieces of stone from the doorway for the openings in the lounge. Alan wants to use the stone to blend it in to the house.
What are you up to this weekend? I am going to do as little as possible. If I'm allowed mind tomorrow night is the Chasse meal!
tis weekend i'm reading my friends comic (because she wants it back really back and i want to read the comic with my chick in it) and i'm practicing this dance i want to do on halloween, i'm gonna draw for my homework, and go shopping for my halloween costume! XD
oh the dance is called love and joy
There are lots of good ideas for halloween costumes on Disney family fun. Simple do it yourself costumes that look amazing. I liked the pink poodle all you need is a pink jogging suit and some pink bath puffs!There are lots of other scarier costumes just as easy to make with a little help from your mom.
i'm being cosmo :)(from sonic x)
we just need to buy some stuff
Anastacia wrote: "we just need to buy some stuff"Sorry I don't know much about computer games, I think sonic is a hedgehog if my memory serves me correctly back from when my grown up children were little in the 80's. But I haven't a clue what cosmo is but I'm sure it will make a good disguise.
My son once went to school dressed as Robin Hood complete with green tights! His idea not mine!
i wish in australia we were into halloween :( but i still go trick or treating 'cause who doesn't like free candy? but there are only a few houses that have candy... but i'm dressing up as a fairy :D

The roads are to dark with no footpaths and the children would get knocked down by tractors and combine harvesters!
We don't have trick-or-treating in the country either but I plan to dress as a princess fairy and help out with the trick or treat for the oncology wing here at the hospital (kid s with cancer friendly treats of course)

And don't forget to change the hiding place too! I used to have a good place I had a spare tumble drier which I used to keep in my bedroom up in the attic. I used to hide chocolates and biscuits in there for Christmas! They never found that hidey hole even though I know they tried!
That's the kitchen half of the floor done I am now going to run upstairs and have a quick shower then come down and throw together a three course dinner I have ready rolled pastry I am going to make a quick pear and almond tart peel the spuds put some frozen peas into a saucepan slap some tabloueh, hard boiled egg pimontaise salad and jambon cru and fresh on plates with half a tomatoe and a fancy sliced gherkin and that will constitute entree!
