I know, it's the masochist coming out in me! Darkangel's right I won't tell all,takes all the fun out of it if I do that.
Don't forget when I finish you have to read it all over again, then you will see how many times I changed each chapter after I said it was good to go!
I know. Quite looking forward to it.
Darkangel wrote: "I know. Quite looking forward to it."I'm looking forward to finishing it so I can get on with Growing Old Disgracefully! You know what I'm like when I get a bee in my bonnet about something new! I must finish HOD!
Yes, I know exactly what you are like - hee hee
Darkangel wrote: "Yes, I know exactly what you are like - hee hee"Okay well when I get my cup of coffee I'll get onto the job in hand, which is being held up by the arrival of an unwanted guest, a baby sparrow which now matter how hard we try we can't get the damn thing out through the open doors and windows!
Stupid things gone upstairs now!
Oh bless. Or not as the case may be.
Darkangel wrote: "Oh bless. Or not as the case may be."Bless, if I can get the damn thing out the house before it poops everywhere! Talking of birds of a different kind I now have 1871 followers on Twitter!
Not too bad thanks hun. Trying to find some of my old short stories that I can add a christmas theme to, to submit for the anthology.How are you today?
good, realy lazy today; can't be bothered getting of the couch! Tomorrow the kids go back to school. Thank god! There are driving me mental! Besides, I really wanted to finish my novel before december, I better get cracking!
Yes you had better get cracking - hee. I know, I am cheeky
A few that I could maybe change, will start work on them a bit later.
Nice one! Emme told me that michael has a few offensive swear words in his story, I've asked her to see if she could tell him to tone them down a bit, last thing i want is for the charity to say no...
I thought you said Michael had pulled out.

Morning to you both, well just!
I went back to bed this morning I have had a sore throat for a couple of days and it chose this morning to get worse, I'm running a temperature too. Fancy coming down with Tonsillitis at my age!
I have to go and pick the girls up today for lunch, they're having beef,carotts,onions and mushrooms in gravy I cooked it for a couple of hours last night and I finished it off this morning a few chips, and some garden peas and we should have two very clean plates! Sophie had the weirdest meal yesterday at her friends! pizza with rice and pasta? WTF was that all about!
Sounds like a dish they do in turkey. Everything was with chips and rice and sometimes there was mash as well.
Darkangel wrote: "I thought you said Michael had pulled out."not michael, but m newman is the one that pulled out

Yep that's what I thought, at least I know when they're with me they eat a balanced meal no wonder the two of them are battling with their weight! They are too young to diet, but at least when they are with me they get good food and not crap! Two days running last week they had pasta and burgers!
Darkangel wrote: "Oh right."I got up to page 6 of my revision last night, lots of spare commas deleted, I love my commas apparently! They don't have wonderbox in America! Emme didn't understand what it was, I will explain when I re-submit the story the idea behind the wonderbox!
what is wonderbox? never heard of it either...
Eva wrote: "what is wonderbox? never heard of it either..."Wonderbox is the gift box you buy when you can't think of anything else to buy for your spouse, ranging from gourmet meal for two to parachuting weekend to formula 3 racing at Silverstone, spa weekends romantic weekends in a haunted castle with four poster beds. We even have them here in the supermarkets in France!
Darkangel wrote: "Oh right."What's the equivalent of Wonderbox in England called?
ahh! yeah, we've got them here as well, even with the same brand! experience package?
Eva wrote: "ahh! yeah, we've got them here as well, even with the same brand! experience package?"Never actually bought one, though I might get Alain to get me and his mother a spa day for Christmas! Jo's had them she jumped solo from a plane, almost killed herself the silly sod, she was so scared she forgot everything she'd learnt in the training day before!
New game, you got a library near where you live? If so next time you're passing and it's open go in and order The Thin Blue Line - and they'll get a copy. ISBN 13 9789 1616674618, ask mum and all your relatives to do the same where they live. That should bump my sales up! Remember we want to have the swimming pool in and working for when you and monst come over next year, and we can sit and sip peniscolada's by the pool!

That's cool, so you are going to meet each other for the first time next year, exiting!I don't think the library here will let me order a book in english...

I think they probably will if they have an English section in there,European Union and all that,it would be against human rights to refuse!
I'm going to give it a try in Guern tomorrow, they have an English section! Plus my book gives the village and surrounding villages free advertising!
you try it first in your library, see what they say...let me know what happens and then i'll try in this one.Right, I've kind of edited my first chapter. I'm ready to let someone read it and scrutinise it. Anyone up for the challenge?
Hey sorry not been getting notifications. Eva I am always up for a challenge, send it over.Will get my arse to the library on Saturday and I will do just that Sarah ;o)
Darkangel wrote: "Hey sorry not been getting notifications. Eva I am always up for a challenge, send it over.Will get my arse to the library on Saturday and I will do just that Sarah ;o)"
cool, I'll send it over in the body of the email.
I've sent it as an attachment instead. That's me started to sweat profusely

Sorry I just slipped out to town and then got called to the house to talk to the electrician as to where I want my plugs!
Okay Eva I'll let you know how it goes! What's the first chapter of? Is it for the Christmas Anthology?
I didn't bother with chapters for that, I just told the story!
I wondered what had happened to you Darkangel!
Hey Eva, I have printed off your chapter and will read it in my lunch break and then give you the feedback.
Darkangel wrote: "Morning all."Morning or should I say afternoon had to go into town again Alain didn't have any food for the dog and he needed wine for the weekend, and for mother....
The word donkey springs to mind! Plus I didn't sleep well last night, my throat was so swollen I couldn't breath properly, in the end I took an anti histamine and an ibuprofen, paracetamols hadn't worked nor had tramadol! I feel like a walking chemist!
It is slightly better this morning not so swollen so maybe the combination worked!
Now it is my turn to feel like crap again. I have a lovely cold coming on.
Darkangel wrote: "Now it is my turn to feel like crap again. I have a lovely cold coming on."Poor you, grab some paracetamol before your temperatre goes up, it helps (usually) unless like me you swallowed a packet of razor blades too! Eating my toast this morning was interesting!
The change in temperature and humidity between Turkey and good old Blighty! Sophie is coming to London on the 9th April, no other news as to where they are visiting yet
I have had a Beachams and has made me feel a bit better, not great but better. I know poxy weather, never any good.

It's dry and sunny here,windy and fresh it rained during the early hours of this morning I am cooking lunch, same as yesterday with rice! Well I wasn't planning on going to town again! When I take Sophie it always costs me money, I was hoping to go tomorrow and get her riding hat or at least look at the price of them and wince! I might look on the bon coin and see if I can find one secondhand!
