HiyaDone that! I was going to go back into Pontivy and pick up croissants for the weekend but I can't be bovvered! I'll go tomorrow with Jo she likes to go in to Noz and have a little skip dive!
I hurt my back again yesterday, not too badly I took double dose Ibuprofen and I hear my back click, so I may have slipped a disc out of alignment good job I didn't sneeze. That's what I did the last time I knocked a disc out of its proper pleace, and I forgot 4 days later and put it back in again when I bounced down suddenly on the bed! Ouch that hurt! This morning I can move again without pain except in my knees! Its very humid here! Did you look at the writing tips, I have been trying that method out and didn't know it! Its what Vanessa was trying to tell me!
Hope you are ok.I haven't actually looked at them yet, but I will do. I am not actually doing any work today, yes I am being naughty and working on my novel. Loads of editing and a few ideas to end it. Just hope it flows properly. Going to the post office at lunch time so will be sending the money today for Sophie.

Okay thats fine. I am looking at my floor and thinking it will have to be washed today never put light grey tiles in a house with a dog, they always look dirty!

I should imagine ending a diary type of novel is difficult, because a diary is continuous unless that person dies or goes into a coma after an accident!
with either of those endings you could have her looking down at her inert body lying on the bed attached to that infernal machines which is doing her head in with its constant beeping and flashing! If you need any help chuck it my way and I will have a look later and see if I can offer any ideas!
Well she is bullied so it can have a few endings. May have to do a few scooby doo endings to see which one fits better ;o)
Mm.. a Carrie type ending? A suicide attempt in which case the coma would work you could leave it open for her to make a recover in an ordinary novel later. Or explore the underworld if she dies. Catholics believe your soul is sent to purgatory because taking one's life is a mortal sin! After martial arts classes she kick the ass of those who bullied her and maybe is arrested for ABH or GBH!
LOL - nice ideas there, may have to use them if it comes to it ;o)I could leave it that she has filled the diary up and is opening a new one i.e See you next time Althea! I am still playing with ideas at the moment but not sure I have a sequal in me at the moment :(

Use whatever if they help if you don't think you have a sequel in you I would go with the suicide and purgatory. The hell that was her life is nothing compared to the hell she finds herself in now or she could be spared for one act of kindness with St Peter and the devil in a battle of wills! Halfway up the stairs. Which would pave the way for your characters to come back in a new life and refer to the old existence as in deja vu!
Remember the song Three steps to heaven? Showaddywaddy?
I have seen Shawaddywaddy live and they were excellent!
Well it does give me some ideas to play around with. I will see which one grabs me when I get that far. I am pooing out for a bit for some lunch. Speak in a bit.

Was you really hungry? Or just plain p****d off? I have been cleaning My nice tidy house is ready to repel boarders and within five minutes of them arriving I will wonder why I bothered I still have to clean the upstairs bathroom but that won't take me a minute. I am having a well earned glass of rose! I know it is very bad to treat myself with alcohol but it was necessary stressed. I hate cleaning! I tell you this book takes off I'm hiring a char woman!
Have a nice weekend speak to you Monday if not before!
Sharon and Sarah R........are you guys from the UK?? Only a Brit would know Showaddywaddy!?!?!?!?!?
Hey, guys, it's been a while since I've been on! What's been going on?? :)
Sam wrote: "Sharon and Sarah R........are you guys from the UK?? Only a Brit would know Showaddywaddy!?!?!?!?!?"Yep we're British, though I now live in France have done for a number of years. Nothing wrong wih fish n chips with mushy peas and curry sauce Ingrid ooh and don't forget mushroom gravy!
I had my daughter here this weekend and the put you up bed blocks access to my computer so I haven't been able to get online hence the delay in replying!
Normal service has now been resumed!
Hi all.Why do the weekends seem shorter and shorter, just when you start to enjoy yourself, it is Monday again and back to work!
yes but if the last one was any longer I wouldn't have made it through!
LOL - I thought you might have said something like that. Was it not fun or was it just a little too tiring :)
Sharon wrote: "LOL - I thought you might have said something like that. Was it not fun or was it just a little too tiring :)"Tiring, I love having them here and Jo normally helps me but because she is pregnant she is feeling the strain now with only 5 weeks to go.
Leon is lovely he is well behaved but we got an extra Herve's son, of 13 who is no trouble but really he should have been in a room of his own and we don't have the space here. So I didn't relax very well though Sophie went to her friends on Saturday to stay. She had to sleep with us on the floor on a blow up matress which kept going down!
Oh the poor thing, I bet that wasn't too much fun for her. It will be worse next time what with the new baby. So what you got planned for today? The sun is actually shinning here so think I may have to go for a walk at lunch time :)

This afternoon I am doing nothing maybe a bit of writing. Yeah with the new baby it will be a bit difficult until the new house is finished.
When do you think the new house will be finished? Will you definitely be in by CHristmas?I am just counting the days now. I have 7 days left at work, including today then I am off to Turkey.

No not a hope in hell they haven't even started he has to wait another 8 days before sending the papers back to the bank or the loan will be null and void! Lucky you we have 18 days and then we are off to sunny Norfolk (I hope) the sunny not too hot though!
I just checked out the weather in Turkey and at the moment it is 39. They are expecting rain on wednesday but it is still 39. Think it may be a hot one!
Sharon wrote: "I just checked out the weather in Turkey and at the moment it is 39. They are expecting rain on wednesday but it is still 39.

These stone houses are amazing!
morning I am sneezing my head off at the moment. I got to go and buy a new toaster mine broke at the weekend!
My cooker and tumble dryer died on Sunday, not good but at least it is not Christmas Eve!!!
why is it that all things break when you could do without it like going on holiday! Our car always used to have a major problem the week before our holidays when the kids were little!
It is just typical. Thankfully my hobbs are working but not the grill or the oven, so I just have to fry things for a few days. Just hope Monst does not want a roast on sunday, I may have to get some microwave roast dinners - LOL
you'll have to go to mums for dinner on sunday! how is dad now?
He is much better now thanks. Why did I not think of that - LOL
Sharon wrote: "He is much better now thanks. Why did I not think of that - LOL"
That's one less for dinner here today! Sophie's gone to her friends to play until tonight! Tomorrow we are going to the beach because there is high tide and we are going shelfish hunting clams hopefully then I can make something italian with them! Immersed in French tomorrow good job I am fluent! because I will be outnumbered 9 to 1!
I wish I had 1 less for dinner tonight, it would be easier to cook then. LOLWell I am not in on Thursday, I have a chocolate fest to attend :P

Hey, Sarah. Yeah, I'm alright...the past few days were a bit rough, but I think I'll make it through.
Congrats on the book! c:

One woman turned to me and said "Your English is excellent!" She got the bigger shock when I said "with good reason I'm English!" I went to the beach yesterday hot, hot, hot good job it wasn't today because that would have been WET, Wet, Wet! Wait a minute wasn't there a pop group of this name back in the olden days?
