You are just a man magnet. I do love egg mayo sandwiches but they have to have raw onion in. My mum makes it like that and it is heaven.
Go to Amazon and look for Lillian's List by Bradley Salters its a really good story, damn now I have to seriously consider buying myself a tablet or a kindle!
Yes you should and they are getting cheaper.Destiny arrived the other day, didn't realise how big the book was. I wont start that just yet, already have 2 on the go at the moment - lol
Just got it and at a bargain price of 77p.
Sharon wrote: "Just got it and at a bargain price of 77p."It deserves a far higher price, keep the kleenex handy you'll need them! Right shower, post office and coffee with Geraldine in that order. Lol at least now she has a new nexpresso machine I might get a decent cup of coffee!
LOL - enjoy and I will talk to you later.
Sharon wrote: "LOL - enjoy and I will talk to you later."I made the shower, I made the post office I passed on the coffee by the time I'd parcelled up the stuff to send back to England it was 11.30! Now I need to move my rear and start cooking lunch!
I hate chores!
Oh dear. Well the heavens have just opened up here, typical as I was just going to go over to the main hospital. Think I will wait a bit.

It was doing that here a few minutes ago but it has slowed down now, notice I didn't say stopped!
Hmm now the sun is trying to come out. Looks like there may be rainbows.
Sharon wrote: "Hmm now the sun is trying to come out. Looks like there may be rainbows."some folk have all the luck still raining here! Lunch is cooking, Chilli con Carne and rice today. Lol Alain has eaten Morrocan, Italian, and now Mexican this week and never left France!
Can actually pop out down the high street, no rain just sunshine now. Need to put the sindicate lottery on!
Sharon wrote: "Can actually pop out down the high street, no rain just sunshine now. Need to put the sindicate lottery on!"Oh bum, I forgot about the lottery, if I had half a brain I'd be dangerous!
I'm hungry, it's nearly 2 and no sign of Alain, nothing new there then!
Just got back from a little walk, was lovely out. Sat back at my desk and it poured down again. Typical

I don't blame you. I just know it is going to fall down the moment I leave the office to get the train.
Sharon wrote: "I don't blame you. I just know it is going to fall down the moment I leave the office to get the train."Tomorrow I have a me day after 1.30 pm Alain's playing palets, peace and quiet to write, after I do coffee with Geraldine.
I sincerely hope he doesn't come home with another cup, blooming dust harbourers, looking forward to packing them all in a box ready for when we move and forgetting where I put them!
LOL - that's a good idea. I have peace and quiet tomorrow for a bit as Monst is at work, Renee will not get out of her pit until past midday (lazy cow). I will get the housework done and put the washing on. Then I will probably hit the crappy gatsby again!

I have one in the garage for my writing course cost me a small fortune to buy a secondhand book I wouldn't give shelf room by a none descript author and all because they thought it would be a good lesson on writing third party he said/she said. Got news for them I didn't need it I mastered it long before that!
Woohoo my new fridge has arrived, but I'm not supposed to plug it in until tomorrow so much to the chagrin of Sophie I left it in the box!
Morning hun,I spent the last hour ploughing through new followers and I still have 25 to go, I'm just going to do a daily thank you or I'll never get to chapter 23!
We have sunshine, finally. Sophie has a cough and cold I'm sneezing and am undecided whether it's allergy or the same.
My DASH diet books came and today I am adapting my diet to try and eat all the stuff in one day they say I need, and I chose to start on the lowest level at 1800 - 2200 calories per day, low fat but you get to eat nice food, but healthy.
Coffee time Ive earned it!
Morning,I have just got to get a coffee, energy needed to start the long week ahead of me. I was not as good as I should have been. Did not read any of that boring book, was reading my library book instead - whoops - ;o)
Good morning
Did you both have good weekends?
I managed not to get lost on a walk - pretty good for me.

Hi both of you, yep not bad considering I had to troll the shops on a Saturday afternoon looking for a birthday pressie for Alain's friend, he forgot to tell me we were invited until he was heading out the door to play palets! Two bloody hours and all I could come up with was an olive tree at half price in Leclerc's!I put my 'get Raider to release my book' plan in action on Twitter go take a look!
Morning Kerry,It wasn't bad, just wish it was a bit longer, at least the sun was out yesterday and managed to sit in the garden for a short while, inbetween cooking the dinner. How are you?
I just retweeted it. Hopefully it will get the word across.
Sharon wrote: "I just retweeted it. Hopefully it will get the word across."Thank you I put another line on too they will capitulate before the days out if everyone contacts them!
I assume as they have now missed your deadline, you have set the wheels in motion apart from what we are doing on twitter etc!
Sharon wrote: "I assume as they have now missed your deadline, you have set the wheels in motion apart from what we are doing on twitter etc!"I am going online to find a solicitor on a no win no fee and I am going to send them a letter by recorded delivery giving them one last chance 7 days or else and I am going to publish Cally's Secret as an e book on Amazon!
I am fine but have a busy day ahead. I think it is a good idea to get a solicitor. Maybe just a legal letter would spur them to action.
Good Idea.Well I have decided to go via Lulu.com and publish a small book of childrens poems for my step daughter and 2 neices as a small christmas present. Not sure If I will have it to buy, might just keep it as personal.

Perhaps, it will show them I am serious I will threaten them with legal action first in a recorded delivery letter which will give me time to find a Solicitor specialising in litigation of this type.
Good idea for the poems it will make a nice Christmas present for your niece's and Renee especially if you write a poem for each of them specially!
I was thinking about that but that may take some time. Two of them are quite the diva's. I wrote one for Megan which is in my original book, may have to write a new one for this book. ;o)

I hope Alain isn't long I'm getting hungry, and my mac 'n' cheese is calling to me.
Did you read chapter 22 yet? the rest of the grey books have come today yipee I have reading material for a couple of days LOL!
Not read 23 yet, will read it at lunch. Fiona bought all 3 books on friday. She is halfway through book 2. She couldn't put it down - LOL
Sharon wrote: "Not read 23 yet, will read it at lunch. Fiona bought all 3 books on friday. She is halfway through book 2.

Morning hunTime for coffee I think decaf expresso, hey I'm less stressed that way and I finally found a decaf worth drinking they usually taste like pretend coffee! This one is roasted here in Brittany Loic Deca!
1/4 way through 50 shades, had to give up and go to bed in the end cos I couldn't see the words! I have almost finished the additional on the prologue, I'll let you take a look when it's done see what you think!
Morning Kerry We got sunshine here in Brittany how about Charente Maritime?
Morning all,Hey we actually have sunshine too. I braved it and put on short sleeves, glad I did. Having my coffee now and browsing through Amazon. Quietish day today as clinics on all day, will have to do all the typing tomorrow!
It is chucking it down here. Of course it waited until I had my washing out and had gone to work before it clouded over :(
I am sitting here in shorts and T shirt - lol
never mind. I am feeling good this morning .

Just been going through my new followers up to 470 something last time I looked. Time to re tweet Raider again!

I'm feeling tired, and I wasn't late to bed either though trying to fight my way into it was interesting, Alain had all the bedclothes in a heap in the middle of the bed with him in the buff the other side of them!
okay, I've got to the point where he's moved her back in to protect her from Leila after that my eyes wouldn't focus so I gave up! I have to say her descriptions of the sex scenes do nothing for me, to much information I think. She doesn't tease the reader, make them want it to happen to them. They're flat!
Unless of course you are reading and watching Simon Baker at the same time ;o) Me and Fiona was looking at Chris Hemsworth yesterday and both agree he would be perfect for Mr Grey in teh film (he even has the smokey grey eyes, well he did in one of the pictures - lol. Have you read Fifty shades Kerry?

He played Thor in the new Marvel film and he is playing the Huntsman in the new snow white film. Google his images. He appears about the right age.

Hey if he doesn't get the part he can play Daniel in TBL opposite Sarah Leigh(twitter)actress.
Hmmm absolutely as long as I can play Ana - hee hee

Went and got a coffee and a boiled egg to keep me going, and to stink out the office - lol"
Yeah I used to take egg and mayonaise sandwiches to work for lunch, my boss came upstairs one lunchtime and said 'oh my god, who's eating dead body sandwiches"! And promptly stole one, turns out they were his favourite too but his wife hated the smell of them. So whenever I took egg sandwiches for lunch I had to promise to make him some too, he was a nice boss, one of his clients thought we were a couple! That was slightly embarassing, if neither of us had been married I think we might have been.
