Kerry did you activate your Kindle for PC after downloading it?
Lol I hadn't hence the reason when I tried to download Lilians list I couldn't, I am such a blonde sometimes!
Sharon wrote: "LOL - you are terrible."I know though I'm blaming it on lack of sleep! Now I will try the download and see if I get it this time, I got three freebies, Jane Eyre, Treasure Island and another must have been riveting because I can't remember the title!
I might read Treasure Island again depends how bored I am!
Err it was Aesopps fables ye ha I have Lilians List!
Have a look on eReaderiq.com they have free kindle books every day. Sign up to the newsletter.
Sharon wrote: "Have a look on eReaderiq.com they have free kindle books every day. Sign up to the newsletter."Okay will do that! Just so pleased with myself I am now 21st century and I didn't have to ring Chris to acheive it!
LOL. My kindle is connected to my phone. So if I forget my kindle I can still read my books from my phone. Perfect
Sharon wrote: "LOL. My kindle is connected to my phone. So if I forget my kindle I can still read my books from my phone. Perfect"Don't think the pc will fit in my handbag! I will get a tablet eventually next time they are on special offer of course!
LOLNot sure I will be in tomorrow, my breathing is getting pretty bad today. :(

Well you take care, and see that you stay in bed if your asthma is bad get some passiflora it is good for asthma sufferers. Look on line I'm going to start Jo on it!
Sharon wrote: "I will."Good, okay talk to you tomorrow maybe.
Can't believe it's tomorrow already, slept a little better but more weird dreams, no more pizza for supper for me.I downloaded kindle freebies in French for Sophie their lists are pants, just the classics and ebooks are dearer than the paperbacks! Duh are they a bit thick, it's supposed to be the other way round!
Mind Alain bought 500ml mouthwash from the chemist a few weeks ago it cost almost 13 Euros 250ml is under 3, I rest my case!
Morning,Well I feel better today, must have just been having a bad day, breathing is much better.
So Alain should have bought 2 bottles of the 250ml - lol

Yep he won't be making that mistake again I'm up to Chapter 10 on Lillian's List, E L James should read it and then maybe next time she'll spare us the heavy breathing!
Glad you're feeling better.
I have not started Lillians list yet, but you can tell me how it is and whether I will need tissues.
Sharon wrote: "I have not started Lillians list yet, but you can tell me how it is and whether I will need tissues."I haven't needed them so far, but I get the feeling I will before long, it will bring back sad memories of my mum.
Lol I read Cath Kelly's Best of Friends, and had to keep stopping, similar sort of story.
I may have to get that too then. Sometimes I need something different to all the dark stuff I read.
Sharon wrote: "I may have to get that too then. Sometimes I need something different to all the dark stuff I read."It's a refreshing change from all the sex which was getting so boring (no pun intended)!
I should be going in to town but I can't be bothered, its such a rush when I have to fetch the girls for lunch and lucky me I get them Friday too this week. Roll on the holidays which start a week on Friday! Lol Sophie's friend will probably die of boredom from eating hot dog sausages. I give the girls something different every day with veg and a dessert, last Thursday and Friday Sophie had hot dog sausages and pasta, I know they don't have much money but if she stopped smoking maybe the kids would eat better!
I know what you mean. Sounds a little like my step daughters mother. Spends money on herself and dont actually care about Renee unless of course there is someone around to she pretends to be the douting mother!
Sharon wrote: "I know what you mean. Sounds a little like my step daughters mother. Spends money on herself and dont actually care about Renee unless of course there is someone around to she pretends to be the ..."Really annoys me, the kid wolfs her meal down because she knows she gets to eat a nice dessert,yesterday they had minced beef and veg in gravy, new potatoes from the garden and peas, baby carrots and brocolli and a yoghurt and a kiwi.
Lol when the kiwis here are ripe they'll be eating kiwi every day for weeks!
So what do the girls eat when they are at Sophie's friends house then?
Sharon wrote: "So what do the girls eat when they are at Sophie's friends house then?"Pasta and hot dog sausages and poor sophie gets force fed fish, she will eat it but only if it's cooked the way she likes it and then only tuna and salmon or a small piece of fish in batter with chips and mushy peas!
If they have chicken the girls get the wings, the breast meat is for the adults. Sophie hates chicken on the bone she eats only the breast at home and can't undertand why she can't eat it there.
It's like the children are second rate citizens I know of one step father who used to make the children eat yesterdays bread while he had fresh.
Makes my blood boil!
Right must go prepare lunch wash pots and shower talk later.
Morning ladies! Sorry I'm a bit late - it's officially afternoon here already. I was a bit late getting up this morning as my brain thought it was a good idea to stay up till 2am writing chapter 2. My body does not agree - especially as I have a full day of work ahead of me. Ho hum.Hope everyone is well

Hi Sharon, I think I went to bed around that time this morning as well.I am unfortuantely at work, but I have the urge to be naughty and do some writing, maybe a few new poems.
Hope you are well.
Sharon wrote: "OK. TTFN"Lunch 2nd sitting is cooking and I'm waiting for Alain,
the girls had Normandy pork and rice leftovers from the freezer, I always make extra so when I am feeling particularly lazy I can just thaw and go.
Sounds nice, I have a baguel with cheese and onion spread.
Sharon wrote: "Sounds nice, I have a baguel with cheese and onion spread."I don't think I've ever had a bagel. The girls wolfed it down we had the same with potatoes and veg. Blooming power blips here this afternoon 6 in all it took my computer down for a while. Must be storms around so if I disappear again you'll know why.
Joined a poetry forum, quite good. I really should be doing some work though - whoops!
Sharon wrote: "Joined a poetry forum, quite good. I really should be doing some work though - whoops!"I'm working on House of Death, I should be tidying up so that makes both of us playing hookey!
Oh, I think we are allowed, every now and then ;o)
Sharon wrote: "Oh, I think we are allowed, every now and then ;o)"Make that nearly every day for me! I joined Write connections, they have competitions and stuff.
I joined them to, going to go on a few of the seminars as well. definitely two of them that are in March next year.
I wanted to do the Synopsis writing course in October this year, but frumpy opposite is off on the same day - typical :o(
Sharon wrote: "I joined them to, going to go on a few of the seminars as well. definitely two of them that are in March next year."Just a tad too far to travel for me Lol! I'm hoping I'll be a best selling novelist by then. HO Ho Ho! More chance of Santa giving me a smacking great kiss under the mistletoe!

No comments have left her mouth, must be very embarrassing for her. I just wish she would wear an underwired bra, her breasts are on the table and when she stands they are halfway down her belly. Not a good look for her early 40's!
Sharon wrote: "No comments have left her mouth, must be very embarrassing for her. I just wish she would wear an underwired bra, her breasts are on the table and when she stands they are halfway down her belly. ..."That would be one mega underwired bra, re-inforced with steel girders!
Morning hunWell the sun is playing hide n seek but it's very humid today needs floaty skirt and strappy top, I have of course obliged nearly caused the lorry carrying pigs to the slaughter to drive into the field. Always had a problem with that I daren't run that would definitely end in disaster for some for unsuspecting bugger!
Men love big boobs, I personally hate mine and wish they were a nice pert 34A! I stood no chance the first bra I had at 11 was that size swiftly followed every couple of months by a hike in both cup and size and by 16 I was a 36D!
Now that sounds exactly the same as me! I hate mine too and have asked for a breast reduction but Monst thinks I am mad!
Sharon wrote: "Now that sounds exactly the same as me!

My answer the only sizing change that will occur to my boobs is downsizing!
Our similarities are very much alike. It is like we are the same person ;o)I should be a little quietier once I have finished this clinic, which I have 1 more letter and invoice to type. I then may attempt the study notes of Gatsby - hee hee

Go for it there are too many good books out there to waste your time reading the boring ones.
Poor Jo, she ended up taking Hugo to the emergency in Flers, they gave him antihistamines, which is what I told her he needed and the special antiseptic spray the chemist advised for Sophie when she had chicken pox.
I was advised to take antihistamines when I had chicken pox, reduced the itching and the number of scars. Now poor Leon's gone down with it, glad we decided not to go this weekend now. Though Jo could probably do with a hand poor thing with two of them dying on her at the same time!
Oh no, the poor little mites and poor Jo of course.The sky has just gone from nice blue to white/grey. it is humid here and I have sandels on. I do not want to get my feet wet. :o(
I am on Chap 16 of Book 3, and you are right, it is now getting very interesting. Will have finished it tomorrow.

You just got bored with the sex too, and all the will she leave him won't she leave him stuff.
I can't say that I would buy another of her books if she ever manages to write another that is, not now I know what she writes.
There was so much stuff she could have elaborated on and didn't which would have given the book meaning instead she focused on the shock qualities of the 'f' plan diet, sex for breakfast, sex for dinner and sex for supper with a side helping of sex to wash it all down.
I know what you mean. I have just got up to the bit where Leila (the bitch) turns up at the publishers to see Ana. I can get back to my proper reading when i finish this one ;o)
