To be honest, I'm not sure, I can't remember, I do remember you had to spray it on and wait about 30 mins before following through with sex, I think it did make him hold back a bit longer then usual.
30 minutes before? really. So you have to plan it? well that's no use!I can't imagine saying to my husband, right dear now you have to sit and wait half an hour before we get down and dirty!
With 2 kids under the age of 15 we can never plan a playtime it's just when we find time

Then that would be perfect, like Helen said while they were waiting for the spray to dry he can warm up the oven! Why should foreplay be a one way street!
I just translated our conversation to my French friend Geraldine who said to hurry up and get it finished and off to the publishers and make sure it gets picked up by a French publisher too!
Which has given me food for thought, and I will at some time to day seek out a French publisher and dangle The Thin Blue Line out and see if anyone takes the bait. Won't hurt to give it a try I can at least give them a brief rundown in French and the query letter too! After that they're on their own!
Trisha wrote: "With 2 kids under the age of 15 we can never plan a playtime it's just when we find time"It's no easier when you have just the one either and Sophie is at the inquisitive age of 10 and wants to know why we lock the bedroom door sometimes and not others!

seriously, like trisha said (morning trisha!)with 2 young kids it's hard to plan and spend over half an hour on foreplay...instead or warming the oven have to go straight for the baking!
why don't you just pay a translator and publish it yourself?
Eva wrote: "30 minutes before? really. So you have to plan it? well that's no use!I can't imagine saying to my husband, right dear now you have to sit and wait half an hour before we get down and dirty!"
Oh I can, imagine this scenario. stopwatch at the ready right dear you have thirty minutes now during this time you can choose one of the following:-
a. read or
b. twiddle your thumbs or
c. Make me scream!
Warning failure to choose the latter could well result in you with an ever bigger problem in thirty minutes time when I turn over and go to sleep!
Eva wrote: "why don't you just pay a translator and publish it yourself?"Because I would prefer that they pay me! They have to buy the right to publish and I get to veto anything I'm not happy with, I own all the rights!

Once Sophie's asleep nothing wakes her - even the chimney exploding and practically falling on her didn't wake her immediately! And the noise was deafening and it scared the s**t out of me!

Darkangel wrote: "excellent!"
Yep they followed me and I followed right back and sent a cheeky message offering them first dibs on looking at GOD! Lol I hadn't realised until I typed the initials it spelled god! And 'God' in French is the name ladies give their vibrators!
Darkangel wrote: "LOL - it is clearly meant to be."Yep and they have just come back to me asking questions so I gave them a brief rundown and asked it they are interested in reading more! Thanks for the RT too!

Trisha wrote: "I guess everyone has kids home or busy"I had to go into town and it's supper time here now, the time lapse is wierd! My writing is steaming (literally) frying the pages as I write!
Cool the weather is gloomy here and it's making my writing down right depressing
Trisha wrote: "Cool the weather is gloomy here and it's making my writing down right depressing"It's been dull here today too, they say tomorrow will be better and Wednesday nice and sunny, I may take Sophie to the beach Wednesday, it maybe the last chance beor the cold weather sets in, though we have been on the beach at the end of September beginning of October.
Well I hope it's nice for u Here it's not getting very warm all week I just want the rain to go away
Trisha wrote: "Well I hope it's nice for u Here it's not getting very warm all week I just want the rain to go away"
We have had our share of rain this year thanks! Tomorrow is good but Soph is at school, no school on Wednesday for the children up to and including primary school! After that they have school Wednesday morning.
My kids r off school Friday which throws my schedule for loop
Trisha wrote: "My kids r off school Friday which throws my schedule for loop"Yes it does rather! Good news I have interest in Growing Old Disgracefully! They want to look at the synopsis and the first three chapters! I am a happy bunny!
Trisha wrote: "That's awesome congrats"thanks Trisha, I am so happy, I just emailed Darkangel and my eldest daughter in Normandy! oops I forgot Eva!
Trisha wrote: "That's awesome congrats"Night Trisha!
Darkangel wrote: "Woohoo"Yay, woohoo! I have had a glass of wine to celebrate!
MorningI thought about going back to bed and then I thought again! Finish chapter 3 Sophie is not going back to school this afternoon she is colded up and they are going swimming not a good idea so she can do some work from her CM2 revision book instead. All afternoon!
Morning,Just got in and already have a coffee. THought it best as I hardly got any of my work done yesterday. Poor Sophie, send her my love.

Poor you, sorry I've been working on chapter 3 and I'm not getting notifications again!
Sophie is covered in Vick's vapour rub and I gave her a pomegranite capsule with her Argan oil this morning they are packed full of vitamin c.
She'll be right as rain tomorrow - especially if she is going to the beach ;o)
Darkangel wrote: "She'll be right as rain tomorrow - especially if she is going to the beach ;o)"Yeah if the weathermen have got it right, it's supposed to be sunny here today and its dull and overcast!
I'm nt going to the beach if it's like this! I looked in the sport shop at a riding hat for Sophie yesterday nearly 60 Euros for the velvety one - daylight robbery! I'm going to look at decathlon online and see how their prices compare.
Decathlon are normally a lot cheaper.At the moment, I have the sun glaring at me, so squinting to see the screen, shuld only last about 20-30 mins (hopefully).
