Thanks flower, so do I, I'm off to paint in a minute, after I recover my pots for the house from the dishwasher and put my fish into the freezer, halibut and salmon, both on offer this week, along with dulux paint!

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Hi Tony


message 9008: by Eva (new)

Eva King | 1071 comments Hey Sharon sorry i've not been around enough to help you with the anthology, things have been a bit crazy around here.
Emily(my wee princess) had rotavirus which basically spew a lot and runs. shes home now but still a bit clingy, she was in the hospital for three days because her sugar levels were way down, her temperature was too high (39 plus) and she was very dehydrated.
On the plus side, we have the keys to our new flat so once she's a bit better will be able to start nmoving


message 9009: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Thats good news.

No worries about the anthology, going to put the pole up for the title to be picked. If you have any more titles you want to put forward, shoot them over and I will add to the list.


message 9010: by Tony (new)

Tony Gilbert (tonygilbert8) I got over 100 takers of my ebook when I offered it for free on Wednesday. Definitely worth doing.

Hope Eva's little girl and Sally's other half are feeling better today.


message 9011: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Good for you Tony. Hey who is Sally? ;o)


message 9012: by Tony (new)

Tony Gilbert (tonygilbert8) Lol, I meant Sarah (as you well know lol).


message 9013: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Hee hee, sorry I am in one of those moods - LOL


message 9014: by Eva (new)

Eva King | 1071 comments Morning folk!
Things are looking up today, Emily's so much better; it looks like she was never ill in the first place, now I only need to fatten her up.
Voted on the anthology title, had to do "ini minni miny moe" because i couldn't decide in only one.

@Sarah, I've read about the writing guide of EL James, you can ordered early on amazon, but it doesn't look like an actual book, it's a journal with quotes etc, a waste of cash really. To tell you the truth even twilight had one of them.


message 9015: by Eva (new)

Eva King | 1071 comments Ps: got the keys for my new flat today, woop woop! better start paiting!


message 9016: by Tony (new)

Tony Gilbert (tonygilbert8) Where are we voting?


message 9017: by Tony (new)

Tony Gilbert (tonygilbert8) Good news about Emily! :-)


message 9018: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Good news Eva.

Tony go to the summer anthology group, on the front page there is a poll so you can vote for the title.

message 9021: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) She means Sarah. No nothing yet. She said she was going to busy herself painting etc. Hopefully she will get on later to let us know.

Hi all, A brief pause in between painting! Alain is fine but we won't know if there is any other treatment for 2 weeks, he was a bit sore last night, and had a headache. which probably stemmed from the fact that I told him he was to just sit quiet and he decided to go to feed the dog.

Glad Emily is feeling better. Thanks to all of you for your good wishes for Alain.

Lol Eva now you are joining me with paintbrush in one hand and baby wipes in the other - tip for removing emulsion paint from anywhere you didn't want it use a babywipe! Especially good for cleaning the paint off your hands and face! So I'm a messy painter, but I'm good at it too. I promise to take a photo today of the bathroom with its silver grass and leaves!

It's our anniversary today too, 5 years!

Yes, she is taking the whole fan-fiction thing a bit far, copying Stephanie Myers right down to the journal I think!


message 9024: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Tarain - is there a link? I am having trouble finding it.


message 9025: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) No worries, I found it.

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments http://www.pinyourbook.com/ All of you with books out there on Amazon might find this of interest. I pinned Cally's Secret today.

Thanks to Jim here on Goodreads and Twitter! Might be good to pin the Anthology!

Thanks, Sharon for your interest. I hope you win i would love to give the book to you. I would give you a copy anyway but it is so expensive. I put two of my books on that site.

Can't believe it but it could to snow today and it is very cold. I think I shall hide and write today.


message 9030: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Morning Tarian,

Yes it is getting cold again, they said snow definitely at the weekend. Not what I need, going to the health and vitality show on Saturday.


message 9031: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Morning all,

Sarah, how is Alain?

@Tony - Have a new member joining the writing group. She wrote in to the local paper about being passionate for writing, had her email address so I contacted her and she can't wait.

Morning! He's gone to work this morning, might help keep his mind off the biopsy results. Keeping busy and all that. He was a pain in the you know where yesterday, went out playing palet all morning, still hadn't turned up at 2 dinner was spoiling and I couldn't get hold of him as his phone was in his coat in the car. 3 when he finally turned up, Sophie and I had eaten our dinner at just after 2.

He'd been drinking with the builder at his place up the road and didn't think to call me! I was fuming especially seeing as he had a go at me for sitting down and relaxing. Let's just say we had words and leave it at that. We are okay now, and I am off to paint doors in a little while.


message 9033: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Morning Tarian

The sun's shining here, very spring like! I sat watching three rabbits playing in the field across the road this morning. Lol, it's as if they know they're safe now that the hunting season has finished!


message 9034: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) We have blue skies but it is not very warm.

Don't know what the temperature's like, not been outside yet. suffering this morning, IBS has flared up again, quelle surprise!


message 9036: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) That will be the stress!


message 9037: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Sharon wrote: "That will be the stress!"

Yes, it makes me feel lethargic and all I want to do is sleep, I should have been painting doors hours ago, but I went back to bed instead. To try to shake the pain, not working I'm afraid. I will take a couple of tablets and see what happens.

I'm going to make chilli for lunch over at the house - surprisingly enough spices settle my stomach!

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments If you go to my photos you will be able to see the photo I took at the weekend of the bathroom!

Okay well its off to the house for me now, no rest for the wicked! Talk to you later maybe!


message 9039: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) OK, be careful. Speak to you soon.


message 9040: by Tony (new)

Tony Gilbert (tonygilbert8) Morning all!

message 9041: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) 4 as far as I know. Putting some more fliers into the local cab offices tonight, and also 4 members on-line. I certainly don't mind starting small then word will hopefully get around and we will definitely be building up. Hope you don't mind being the only guy at the moment ;o)


message 9042: by Tony (new)

Tony Gilbert (tonygilbert8) Lol. That, I don't mind at all. Hang on, this is the BDSM group we're talking about isn't it?


message 9043: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Cheeky! You have me there, a 13yr old and the new one is 18yrs old. So calm that wild animal - LOL


message 9044: by Tony (new)

Tony Gilbert (tonygilbert8) It is good that there is someone so young interested. I'm looking forward to it.

Eva King | 1071 comments Afternoon guys!
Hey you seem to be right on a roll with the writing group, well done!
@Tony, hows the course going?


message 9047: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Hiya Eva,

It is absolutely manic here in the office, I do feel like committing murder, but I will hold out - for now ;o)


message 9048: by Tony (new)

Tony Gilbert (tonygilbert8) Hi Eva,

I haven't started it yet, just haven't had time to sit down and concentrate. I had a flick through the first of the three manuals though and it looks very complicated!
How's your little girl?

I bet it's not as complicated as you think! How long do you have to finish it?

Emily had a doctors app today and she's fine; she@s already gained over a kilo since last week. Jus need to fatten her up. She gave me the biggest scare of my life!
