Alain's sister puts it in Paella instead of chicken sometimes - I prefer my Paella with chicken especially if I 'know' the rabbit. Alain keeps them at his mothers for eating - trouble is he can't seem to get me to cook them! Well they are all cute and furry, and Sophie likes to pet them. He has finally got the message, he said he is stopping the rabbits because no-one is eating them. They are stock piled in the freezer I cook one every so often under duress but I only pick at a small bit of the meat, usually the dog get's most of my piece!
Hey shaz you dont fancy joining us on the nanowrimo this year? it should be fun!
Eva wrote: "Hey shaz you dont fancy joining us on the nanowrimo this year? it should be fun!"Don't think so, too stressful having to write 50,000 words or more in a month!
Eva wrote: "Hey shaz you dont fancy joining us on the nanowrimo this year? it should be fun!"I keep reading about nanowrimo but I honestly don't think I've got the time. :-(
Sarah - damned right! Take it all with you I say. We left loads of improvements when we moved out of the villa and the next tenants had the nerve to complain that the garden wasn't up to much. (its was more of a gravel exercise yard for the dogs, which we'd had to gravel ourselves to cover up the builders rubble that was an excuse for a garden). Now, I don't know why we bothered!
i will probably be stressfull but i have been writing the same novel for about a year, maybe if i know i only have amonth i'll get my finger out.As well im trying to organise a christmas anthology, but nobody seems to answer the thread.
oh! Im so exied to announce that im becoming an avon lady from saturday!!!

Lol I'm even taking out all my plants, and what I can't get out I'll water liberally with weedkiller! I have been waiting 2 years for him to send an electrician to mend a plug - when they renovated the house they didn't cement the walls to stop the mice and rats getting in between the plasterboard/insulation and the outerwall. which now means there is probably fcuk all insulation because the mice will have eaten it along with the wire to the plug!
I'm waiting for him to try to charge me for it when I move. I sent him a rec del letter last year complaining of the same and the copy is in my computer and on dropbox!
Hey Eve, I used to sell Avon. It was good fun until my ex kept following me. What is this Christmas Anthology?

That's nice get you some spare cash for xmas and everyone gets to smell nice. Lol there are a few women arond her could do with Avon, the pong sometimes in the supermarket is awful. And it's the well dressed women of a certain age that whiff the worse!
Hey Sarah - whats the latest on TBL?

I don't blame you.
Good news yesterday - lovely tax rebate on its way from HMRC.
Bad news today, the builder just gave us his bill for the "little bit of extra work" he had to do and its nearly as much as the proper bill. I am not impressed. I'm refusing to pay it since he never gave us an itemised bill for the 1st bit of work and I have a feeling he thinks I'm stupid and a) can't read spanish and b) can't add up.
Bloody cheek.

Did anyone see the news item about the guy in San Fransico airport with the enourmous salami! 13 inches in action, quick calculations tell me that 7 inches would be surplus to requirements! More than most have to start with!
Darkangel wrote: "Hey Eve, I used to sell Avon. It was good fun until my ex kept following me. What is this Christmas Anthology?"Well I was wanting to see if there was a few writers that would like to write christas stories or poetry, we could selfpub ourself and the money we raise could go to charity...appart that it would be a great xmas present...
I cant believe ut ex followed you, what a nutter!
Darkangel wrote: "Hey Sarah - whats the latest on TBL?"Silence, think he needs a little reminder!

Anything other than BO would suffice! Chanel smells like the channel on me and Poison, ugh! Bubblegum on legs!
Yes completely, hence he is an ex. He thought I was lying and not selling Avon but having an affair instead. I would just like him to explain the many boxes of products that turned up each month. LOLI like the sound of that anthology, you can count me in.
@Sarah could it get any worse - LOL I heard a rumour that Alexander Starsgaard may be the guy to play Mr Grey - he is from True Blood!

You should always get a devis! Not sure what the spanish equivalent of that is. Quote and once signed they can't charge you any more than that without your written agreement! Too right look up the saying stick it where the sun don't shine mate!
Did I say I had peace with Sophie in the pool, apparently the pool is under attack from earwigs and sophie is in here dripping water over my already dirty floor - We were invaded with flying ants last night coming through the wall into the house! There are dead bodies everywhere - I sprayed them this morning Alain sprayed them last night and still the buggers keep coming.
Panic! I am allergic to the sting, like verging on toxic 65% at the last test! I took a precautionary anti histamine first thing!
One of the patients bought be a bottle of Chanel from Harrods, I am sorry to say, it stinks! I will find someone to give it to for a gift - hmmm secret santa ;o)
Darkangel wrote: "Yes completely, hence he is an ex. He thought I was lying and not selling Avon but having an affair instead. I would just like him to explain the many boxes of products that turned up each month...."I know it would be lovely to see him in the film...he has that smouldering look about him, yummm!but he is a bit old, dont you think?
You sold avon and ann summers? "if you buy the dildo i'll give the avon oil for free...
LOL - I like that idea. Yes I sold both. Sold the Ann Summers when I finally got rid of the ex. As for the film I am still holding out for Christ Hemsworth!
Darkangel wrote: "Yes completely, hence he is an ex. He thought I was lying and not selling Avon but having an affair instead.

Oh god, I LOVE Alexander Skarsgaard. Honestly, I think I could have his babies. He does brooding very well - he isn't half as attractive when he smiles! LOL.Please don't let him get involved in something as awful as 50 shades, unless it gets a complete rewrite that it is.
I'm confused as to how it can be made into a film without it just being porn. I know I haven't read it, but even so.......
Shame theres no ann summers in spain...i miss the willy pasta, lol.Cool about the anthology, lets see if there is more people that want to join in. If you want drop a message on the anthology thread of stuggling writers. I was thinking of the deadline as september and there is a girl doing free covers because she is a beginner so it shouldn't cost us a penny.
Fancy joining sarah and shaz?
I can only assume they will also put more of the story into it and not just from Ana's POV!

seriously is not as bad as you think. I've read better erotica than that. In my opinion it's just kinky. Even the true blood books have more sex than 50. The film will be good though...
Darkangel wrote: "One of the patients bought be a bottle of Chanel from Harrods, I am sorry to say, it stinks!

I got one as a prize when I worked party plan, plus a bag from Harrods plus the biggest bouquet I have had in my entire life, it filled 6 vases!

Why not, if it's for Charity good free publicity for all who take part!
Darkangel wrote: "I can only assume they will also put more of the story into it and not just from Ana's POV!"Well lets hope so or it will be a box office flop mainstream but a hit in the porn shops! Hold on a minute, there was a story in there. Where? did I miss that line!!!!
LOL - you even said yourself you skimmed past the sex ;o)
Darkangel wrote: "LOL - you even said yourself you skimmed past the sex ;o)"I wonder if they'll do 3 different films or just compressing everything into one?

You've got it spot on!
Darkangel wrote: "Wow that is a lot of flowers."Yep, I thought my husband had gone mad and splashed out on something nice for me for a change, until I saw the card! Should have known tight arsed git wouldn't have bought me that many flowers delivered on Christmas Eve too - £2000 sales in one week, nearly killed me!
Maybe I can send you some of that pasta Eva!
Darkangel wrote: "LOL - you even said yourself you skimmed past the sex ;o)"yep, but even then finding the story was difficult!
Darkangel wrote: "Maybe I can send you some of that pasta Eva!"Ah and I thought my farmyard pasta was special! It wouldn't feel right biting the balls of a pasta willy!
I wonder what happened to Larry? Think we might have frightened him off ladies!
It's only little Sarah but it does expand to heat - LMAO sorry I could not resist!
Eva wrote: "Darkangel wrote: "LOL - you even said yourself you skimmed past the sex ;o)"I wonder if they'll do 3 different films or just compressing everything into one?"
Oh please only one, or everyone will nod off trying to find the story, the second book is mostly Ana's POV about how many times she climaxed in one session!
chris hemsworth, that's the boy from snow white right? not too shabby! but he doesn't have that look that says im going to rip your pants off just by staring at you like alex somethingsomething (cant spell his name) That's but ill pick some pasta when i head to the uk, and some decent erotica.
There is a lovely pic of Chris hemsworth in a grey suit with smoldering grey(ish) eyes, google him under images - yes he is the one out of snow white (and Thor).
Mmm, interesting works the opposite to reality then they usually shrivel up when you put them in cold water! sorry Larry, we can play nice, honest! Just take three blondes and well anything can and most likely will happen!

I remember making the willy pasta for my husband packed luch on april fools with a little note (not going to metion what it said) but he didnt find it at all amusing...

Sean Bean too, mmm.. seems I have a penchant for Sean's!!!
Darkangel wrote: "Especially when all named Sharon!"Yup, you know a willy pasta scene would make a wonderful blonde chapter don't you think, and instead of 50 shades I may include a comment about 50 grades!
Well Mr Connery does still have an amazingly sexy voice.

Yes so I see, I went back and read through what I'd missed yesterday rabbits are are obviously playing hard to get! Ours are here too much to the chagrin of eclair who loves chasing rabbits, lol he never actually catches one last time he tried it he caught a moving car! Now if we are outside he is chained up if we can't watch him - the main road runs in front of my house and the garden is only fenced off to stop the dog getting in and peeing on the veggies. The landlord is a tight arsed git who won't pay for the fencing and gates. The fence around the garden is mine and when we move to the new house I'm rolling it up and taking it with me! Same goes for the washing line and posts and my kitchen units!
