Told you does you no harm to relax the regime, what does you harm is the slimfast, eat low fat proper food!

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) I do, but where I am stuck at a desk all day, I get no exercise etc.

There is no corolation between choclate and food hunger. Hunger for chocolate is not food hunger like hunger for sex isn't. You can only be satisfied by that one thing. So I have chocolate hunger not food hunger.

So I need to listen and go get some. Can I get it on prescription?


message 2663: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Can I have some too then? ;o)

We wish, mind that would mean paying the doctor 23 Euros for nothing, lol which is absolutely nothing new last time I visited mine he tried to kill me. I am understandably loathed to visit him again, so I think I will bypass the middle man and go straight to the supermarket, how about you?

I just got through writing a scathing email to my publishers demanding he prints my book within the month or he returns all my money, I bluffed him that I have spoken to a solicitor, my wording is curt to say the least. Lots of practise at writing letters of this kind I was a legal secretary in a former life.

Whose boss used to give me a name, an address and start with Dear sir or madam and then say standard letter you've written enough you know the script!


message 2665: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Did you not call him like you said?


message 2666: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments Sharon wrote: "Did you not call him like you said?"
Yes but they put the phone down I rang twenty times and each time they did the same thing!

I tried to find a telephone number direct dialling not a freephone to because I will pay for ringing a free phone but not a direct! Stupid isn't it!

He has my telephone number.


message 2667: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) How rude of them. That just proves what kind of rip off merchants they really are.


message 2668: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Weldon (sarahrweldon-author) | 6045 comments They have opened a new company reporting to raider doing the same thing, they are about to bail out I think and if that happens I will lose my money.

Do no touch Purehaven Press it's them disguised!

I'll see what the response is on Amazon for the e book and then decide.

We have more of the usual it has rained all yesterday and looks like it is set to continue today and tomorrow morning if the weather people are to be believed!

I have webbed feet, now down to 4 chickens Kentucky fried keeled over in shock at being threatened with expulsion from the house, 'her secret's out'!

She was getting down and dirty with the cockerel when she clutched her breast and keeled over, heart attack, I'm afraid eated her weight in wheat!


message 2681: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Oh dear, poor Kentucky fried!

It is quite humid here today, well it is certainly uncomfortable in this shed I call an office.

I am not feeling book 3, finding it quite boring!


message 2682: by [deleted user] (new)

Morning - raining here. I am working so quick visit.
Sarah - try Smashwords as well for e books and espresso for print.

Lol I finished it I thought it was better than the second having skirted over their close encounters of the naughty kind, a type of skim reading I did feel she could have missed most of the sex and told the story.

Yes I just prefer life to his alternatives! How are you this morning, I have just come off the telephone with my daughter Jo in Normandy the baby is poorly he has hand, foot and mouth! Not related to foot and mouth though whch is what we both thought.

Bum 11.30 and no lunch prepared for the girls must dash talk to you gals later!


message 2686: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) I will persevere with it, I just get the point that this one is dragging a bit and avoiding the actual story!

The story is there somewhere just waiting to be told without all the heavy breathing!

I made a start on chapter 23 a couple of pages, I'm working out my next move with regard to who knocked Amelia up and how she will come to realise what happened after her mother had killed her and the baby!


message 2688: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Oh goodie, I look forward to it, sounds very intriguing ;o)

Well it's bugging me at the moment, but no doubt within the next two chapters I will have my answer, I think 15 yr old Antonio the Italian stallion may have delivered a pizza to the house,Amelia would have been 3 at the time maybe she will remember the time, I think she may have caught her mother in the act of seducing him. And she had an 'I want what she's having' moment later in life.

I changed some of the prologue too took some stuff out and elaborated on the actions of her mother, cold, calculating.


message 2690: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Very interesting. I was naughty, I did not even touch the boring book this weekend. May have to bring it to work this week and start it.

Might help you fall asleep! Why not look on line and see what reviews are available for it and write your essay based on one of those, would save you having to actually read it!

Bad aren't I I am the person that picked up animal farm read the first page and threw it down in disgust, what a load of drivel - I wrote as much in two lines for the essay, my lit teacher was bemused at my response.


message 2692: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Well saying that, I have found a study notes that I have downloaded - very naughty - hee hee

No life saving, otherwise it would have bored you to death! Pity google wasn't around for Animal Farm!

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) LOL - Watched the cartoon film and quite enjoyed it but don't think I could read it.

Trust me nearly as boring as the great gatsby but then again I'm stubborn and having decided it was meant for children I dug my heels in and refused to read it!

You're kidding I sat down with a cup of coffee at 2.30 and just woke up and looked at the clock to find it's gone 4! Where did that hour and a half go?


message 2698: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Atkinson (darkened_angel) Damn, it has only just gone 3 here, wish it was gone 4.
