I'm in one of those 'what happens if I pull the nail out of my tyre' kind of moods.
The little mermaid has just gone back in the pool and decided she needs the loo as soon as she got wet!
Darkangel wrote: "That is just typical!"Yep that's kids for you, now she's back in complaining of blooming earwigs in the pool.
The joke of what stroke are they doing doesn't translate! I need a very large very strong cup of real coffee! Though that might be what the problem is, Sophie used ordinary coffee this morning by accident!
So much for my peaceful afternoon we have the invasion of the earwigs, they are invading Soph's space and she's not amused!
Morning, Poor Sophie, what you got planned for today? Is the little mermaid still wanting to swim away? I have the lovely job of accounts.

Not a lot, to hot, I went on earwig duty last night - then got in the pool on earwig protection, a bit like a lifeguard. I was hot and bothered it was just what the doctor ordered. Alain went in with her when he came back from the house, he is such a wuss with cold water!
I could so do with paddling my feet right now. Going to treat myself to a manicure and pedicure next week for my birthday so it will all be done ready for my holiday.

And sophie to riding lessons! and me...... I have to wait until next month!
Oh that's a shame. Oh loved the pics of the new house BTW, sorry forgot to tell you the other day.
Darkangel wrote: "Oh that's a shame. Oh loved the pics of the new house BTW, sorry forgot to tell you the other day."Not a problem, getting to look more like a house now, the electrician is putting in the emergency supply and powering up the Wendy house, Alain wants his fridge working for August!
Is that so he can have a few cold beers on hand when he is working and it is a little on the warm side ;o)
Darkangel wrote: "Is that so he can have a few cold beers on hand when he is working and it is a little on the warm side ;o)"Naturally, he is starting the insulation and in this heat up in the roof he'll fry!
Darkangel wrote: "Yes, I can see that. Not nice."No, I think he's praying for a few days overcast!
Morning ladiesSoooo tired this morning. Reckon I managed about 3 hours sleep. Got a really snotty email from out previous letting agent asking us to take down some work we'd done at the house we rented as it wasn't authorised by the owner. Yet the work was done over a year ago and the agent thought it was great, said we had permission, and even used it as a selling point when showing prospective tenants around. So pissed off I can't tell you. Simon's way of dealing with it was to go and get drunk, come home, cause an argument and then fall asleep star-shaped on the stupidly small double bed we're using at the moment. To say I wasn't amused is an understatement!
MEN! Grrrrr.
We all have them, funny, mine sleeps like that as well, he whinges when I finally get in to bed because I asked him to move over!
Morning everybodySorry to hear about your night, that's terrible! It looks like your tax rebate is already spent!
Sarah, whrn is your book on sale? I was looking for it but couldnt find it
Darkangel wrote: "We all have them, funny, mine sleeps like that as well, he whinges when I finally get in to bed because I asked him to move over!"Sooooooo annoying! Then he had the cheek to ask why I was in such a bad mood this morning!
Morning darkangelHows things going in London?
I jus had a showe and Im sweating already, im starting to hate the heat!

Oh don't worry. We won't be paying for anything at the old villa. It's the agent's problem, not ours, and I think he's just trying his luck because he knows he's messed up.
The contract we had was English, not Spanish and wasn't notarised so really he hasn't got a leg to stand on. He also doesn't have any of our official registration details like NIE or residencia and although he knows we're still in the village, he doesn't have our new address.
We had to put so many things right at the house because it was broken/not working etc that quite frankly, they can shove it!
Sorry! Morning!(My mood obviously hasn't improved!!)

On a cheerier note, hows you writing going?
London is showered with glorious sunshine today, it is so lovely to see, just wish I was sitting in it instead of doing accounts in the portacabin!
Darkangel wrote: "We can't win can we - lol"Nope, talking of pedicure's Sophie is about to sand my feet down with the pedicure set.
Very nice. I will wait at least a week for mine and see what other treatments I can have. :o)

Hi Shazzy,
Yes all men sleep corner to corner it would seem I sometimes have like a foot of space with his nibs in the middle - at 3.30 I get to sleep in the middle too alone!
What is it about Landlords mine thinks we should repair his walls, pay for rewiring and so on and so forth - as I said in a snotty rec del letter it's your house deal with it - I am not inviting the mice in to come and chew your wiring you are by leaving the holes in the walls!
He is lucky I'm not like his last tenant she didn't pay the rent for a year and wrecked the house before she left!
Darkangel wrote: "London is showered with glorious sunshine today, it is so lovely to see, just wish I was sitting in it instead of doing accounts in the portacabin!"I remember that from the uk, the days you are working are the nicests, but when you are off it starts raining again!
Eva wrote: "I jus had a showe and Im sweating already, im starting to hate the heat!"Yep it's making me tired too and it's nowehere near as hot in France as Spain! Morning Eva!
If the landlord bad mouths me after we leave Alain will probably swing for him, like Shazzy we have repaired stuff, found the garden and lawn - before it was a wilderness!
I have my own way of dealing with him let's just say he's a dirty old lech and leave it at that and if he starts I'll go one better and destroy him!
I know, aparently the weekend is still going to be nice but the weather forecasts predicts light showers next week!
Eva wrote: "Morning everybodySorry to hear about your night, that's terrible! It looks like your tax rebate is already spent!

Soon, on Amazon and bookstores in all English speaking countries if I'm to believe the Publisher's spiel!

Its been a bit slow this week - lots going on. Edited versions on chapters 1 -4 are available here if you fancy taking a look: http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/3...
Thanks for already checking out chapter 1 - I appreciate it.
I'm working on the next section at the moment, trying to build up sexual tension is not easy, I'm discovering!
Woohoo. Will have to buy it (even though i have read it), so when I see you, you can sign it ;o)
and theres me moaning about the heat, sorry. But for the first time in years I wish it was raining to take the heat away!
Darkangel wrote: "I know, aparently the weekend is still going to be nice but the weather forecasts predicts light showers next week!"We have storm warnings Thunder/lightning and torrential rain - thanks China could have given us a miss!
Then we are bound to get it next :o(The heat was quite unbearable last night, took me forever to get to sleep. What I meant was longer then normal - hee hee

I found writing the sex scene worst than the tension...I was gigglin ike a school girl. I put it u to get review and I was told to make it hotter, how?

Lol ask ELJames she thinks she writes sex real well! It's hard I skirted round the subject with inuendos and flirting in the first book, you know sex must have happened because everyone ends up pregnant!
I got braver in book 2 - you'll have to ask Sharon if I pulled it off - The funniest chapter being Erroll!

Think of something you've done and describe it, without coming across like a medical dictionary, and without coming across foul mouthed - just describe it how you see it in your head!
Darkangel wrote: "Woohoo. Will have to buy it (even though i have read it), so when I see you, you can sign it ;o)"I might have to buy one too at least I'll have two sales!
I've read it so many times I can almost recite it word perfect!
Oh, I am pretty sure you will sell more then 2.

I really liked chapter one, the only thing thathconfused me was why did she not drink the blood of the vampire hunters? should i keep on reading?
Eva, ShazzyLouLou click on my profile and go to my writing - light the 7th candle read the new chapter 45 I just put up - Errol features in there!
