Basically I'm telling it from the p..."That's both you and Sharon goofing off when you should be working! I like it, I never had a job where I could do that, the dragon in charge of the office I worked in didn't like me, because I had influential friends in most of the departments. And people liked me, they would stop and chat, and she would bob up and down like a merecat, and give me the glare of death!
Sharon wrote: "And I am being naughty right now - naughty being the key word there, and writing at work."Does that mean what you're writing is naughty or just that you are writing in office time?
Rishika wrote: "thanks sarah I should do that, read the chapters and start it, gud idea..."I have just done that with my latest novel, I edited the previous chapter and then started on the next.
It works for me, hope it works for you too!
@ Sarah - a bit of both. Just finished a new poem, shall I send it to you?
Sharon wrote: "@ Sarah - a bit of both. Just finished a new poem, shall I send it to you?"Yep, send it through. I am in pensive mode what to do with Naomi apart from the obvious, to kill or not to kill. I think he's going to have a little fun first, nudge, nudge, no what I mean, a nod's as good as a wink!
Absolutely, maybe not kill her outright but leave her for dead before he goes on the run!
@JP, if you want to read it to, you may have to message me.
Sharon wrote: "Absolutely, maybe not kill her outright but leave her for dead before he goes on the run!"Mmm I was thinking along the lines of a violated wall!
I read the poem, I put a few comments see what you think.
Sharon wrote: "I like those ideas."Hoped you would! Here's Sophie back from school!
Good job I had sent it over early (ish) then.
Sharon wrote: "Good job I had sent it over early (ish) then."Wouldn't have mattered if she'd read it she wouldn't have understood it!
I am being pressured to relinquish my spot on Sophie wants to go online for a while! Have a nice long weekend talk to you Monday!
Sharon wrote: "Phew!"She just read what I typed perfectly but didn't understand anything until talk to you monday!
Hi there anyone around? I have just had the most amazing experience ever - self hypnosis, and it must have really worked because I have high blood pressure and both the systolic and diastolic pressures dropped considerably, my Doctor would be gob smacked!
Morning hunWeather her grey, dry at the moment but it doesn't look promising. Alain and Sophie have gone to fetch the bread and then to his mothers while I think about cooking lunch!
Roast pork and all the trimmings today, well its a bank holiday here, I'm going to slap the meat in the oven and then listen to my self hypnosis recording for half an hour while I have total calm.
Using this since Saturday I have managed to bring my bp right down to near normal from ridiculous! I'll forward a link for you to download it, it would be great for your dad and you too help you to sleep!
Cool thanks hun. It is very grey here too and has not stopped raining all weekend. Funny though, back to work today and it is dry but does look like rain is on the way again.
Sharon wrote: "Cool thanks hun. It is very grey here too and has not stopped raining all weekend. Funny though, back to work today and it is dry but does look like rain is on the way again."Suns trying to come out here! Oh I forgot to say the first three self hypnosis sessions are absolutely free!
Meats in now I have to go finish the washing up and then peel spuds, I hate peeling spuds!
I know that is one of the worst jobs.have you sent the link yet?
Sharon wrote: "I know that is one of the worst jobs.have you sent the link yet?"
No I'm just about to, I just finished the dreaded spuds I prefer to eat rice with everything! No preparation required you just drop the bag into water and cook it.
And yes I'm that lazy I buy it portioned out in a bag, that way I don't waste it! I forget there are usually only two of us eating it!
I buy the microwave rice, even quicker - lol
Sharon wrote: "I buy the microwave rice, even quicker - lol"I would but my microwave is temperamental, it cuts out when we move it will go in the wendy house along with the old fridge and I will buy new ones. It should be with you now!
OK, I will have a look at it, might have to wait till I get home but thank you.
Sharon wrote: "OK, I will have a look at it, might have to wait till I get home but thank you."Oh you'll definitely have to wait until you get home it takes half an hour in a nice comfortable position and total silence no phone, no tele nothing but the recording. Did you send the request, that you could do now and then confirm and download when you get home.
No I didn't, I will have another look.
Sharon wrote: "No I didn't, I will have another look."I had a voucher for a discount store on line and I treated myself to an MP3 player, that way I can download them onto a memory card and shove my earphones in my ears and block everyone out!
What a good idea. I might be able to download it on to my phone.
Sharon wrote: "What a good idea. I might be able to download it on to my phone."My phone is a basic bog standard, sends texts and phones people, when I remeber to buy credit! Its an emergency only phone, if I put 20 Euros on it should last me all year!
LOL - my phone is basically my computer as well. All my emails go through it. And I am on contract. At least that way, I have unlimited internet, texts and calls.
Sharon wrote: "LOL - my phone is basically my computer as well. All my emails go through it. And I am on contract. At least that way, I have unlimited internet, texts and calls."I don't go anywhere or do anything to warrant having that kind of technology, no doubt Sophie will want it when she's older! Like 18 and she can pay!
That is a good idea. If I was Renee's mother, I would not let her have a mobile phone.
Sharon wrote: "That is a good idea. If I was Renee's mother, I would not let her have a mobile phone."I had the same conversation with my sister when she bought her 10 year old a mobile, there is no need for Sophie to have a phone. She is picked up by taxi every morning and dropped at the door of an evening, we have a phone at home who does she need to call?
I think the schools should ban the children bringing them into school! We are going to have this fight in a couple of years time when she is at the Lycee, because everyone else has a phone!
I think it is stupid and Renee is sometimes too stupid. SHe walks around constantly texting etc. SHe almost walked straight in to a lamp post the other day she stopped mms from smashing her face in.
That's... I'm sorry, but I'm an old school fan of schadenfreude. That stuff always makes me laugh.
Sharon wrote: "I think it is stupid and Renee is sometimes too stupid. SHe walks around constantly texting etc. SHe almost walked straight in to a lamp post the other day she stopped mms from smashing her face..."Yep I know I've seen them, it's like their super glued to their phones!
I am going to stick to my guns on this one, no phone until she is at least 16 and then it will be a bog standard like mine to ring home and text, blocked for everything I don't consider she needs and pay as you go with a limit set for the month of 10 Euros she goes over that the first week, tough no phone for three weeks! And yes I'm prepared to stand by this! Lol she is going to hate me!
I just checked my BP 132/91 which is an amazing result for me, with the Doctors conventional Beta Blockers it has been as high as 190/105! All this is being acheived with natural herbal medicine, Horse Chestnut/hawthorne berry extracts, olive leaf extract,
Maca, passiflora! Even the Argan oil works for lowering the blood pressure it's in a similar group to olive oil, which as most people know is good for the heart.
Oh and not forgetting the self hypnosis, reducing the stress by relaxation.
That is good news. Who needs doctors anyway?
Sharon wrote: "That is good news. Who needs doctors anyway?"There always good to have around for back up, but don't forget I have just found myself one who prescribes natural homeopathic remedies for everything. Who needs chemicals I think should be the response, if you look at all the problems I had whilst taking beta blockers, which left me unable to stand, let alone walk!

Haha! If done well, agreed.
Hi SharonHows you today, I've just done my lunch run, for the girls and then lunch for us. It's okay but it ties me up for the day!
I am just finishing my coffee and then I will light the fire, its damp outside and stone houses absorb the moisture making it cold and damp inside.
Then I am going to do my relaxation for half an hour, did you get chance to take a look at it last night? If you do it before bedtime it might help you sleep.

Usually a banana skin leaves little room for control or tehcnique. Children do some funny things too, my Sophie was so tired one evening she fell asleep eating her spaghetti bolognaise, yep face first into the plate and never woke up. She would only be about 1 year old I can't find the photo we took which is a shame or I'd have put it on my wall!
I just spent a productive couple of minutes taking advantage of vistaprints freebies, okay I know the postage covers their costs but I so far have 2 mugs, 1 T shirt, 1 baseball cap and 2 calenders and a poster all printed with the cover of my soon to be released debut novel! I'm happy, their happy, everyone's happy!
I use vista print too. I did a gothic calendar last year with one of my poems on each page, I loved it and so did my mum. :o)
Sharon wrote: "I use vista print too.

I need to get another baseball cap because Sophie will be bound to want one, Jo too oh bum lets hope there's a three for one offer on them too soon!
Nothing in the mail from Adam yet!
How can he run a business like that, take your money and then hear nothing else from them.I do find Vista pretty good. Is there one in France or is it coming from UK?

On the first question I don't know but if he was thinking I'd be a pushover he was wrong!
There's a French version, I still get my stuff printed in English Lol or I would have to go to the English site.
I am being bombarded with chances to win Ikea vouchers I filled the same questionaire in twice, once for 3000 Euros of vouchers the second for 1500 euros vouchers. Pay for the new kitchen that, I did one the other day to win a new car, a Mac Air book an I phone. Reason I am doing them, I bought a hypnosis tape on how to attact money, I have only listened to it once and wham all these things drop in my lap, so I thought what the hell costs me nothing and if I only pull one of them off its better than a smack in the mouth!
I totally agree. The more the better.
