I'll be doing the writing myself. It's a factual book. It's a sort of potted biography of a bunch of men - a chapter each. Where they came from, what they did etc. There are some right characters there! Some have said that nothing's changed and the town is still run by a bunch of criminals and swindlers! :rotfl:

I've done stacks of research over the last couple of years and have decided that it's time now is to stop the research and just get on with it. If I do a man a week (oo er Mrs!) my self imposed deadline is doable. One of the reasons I want a week off is so that I can go out and about taking photos relevant to the people.

But, it's time I got a move on.
Have a good day ladies

Soappie that book sounds excellent, i love the title. I would buy a copy.

TAG

Morning all

Hugs where needed. And hello to newbies.

Been up since 5.30am as DH has 'manflu' and has spent the whole night snaffling and snarling:mad::rolleyes:. So I got very little sleep.

**RANT ALERT**
kazmiester - you have my full sympathy. DH has been at home for the last 2 days. Monday I did all the flying whilst he sat on his @rse watching sport and old films. Except he did walk the dog and cook dinner.

Yesterday I left the house at 7.30am for work. Delivering sandwiches followed by delivering parcels on the way home. Popped back at 12.30 for 15 mins to grab some more parcels. Went out again working till 3.30pm. Came back. Cashed up. Took a load of stuff to the post office. Then took the kids to ex H's as it was DS birthday. Finally got back at 7.00pm. Yes my behind was very blue;)

DH's contribution to the day - watch football, horse racing and what ever other crap happened to take his fancy, go to the betting shop, unload the DW and cook spag bol for tea.:rolleyes: And then inform me he felt poorly with 'manflu' and he'd done alot today:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: So I guess it'll be more of the same today then. Thrillsville.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::mad::mad::mad:

Do you find the more you do, the more they expect? **RANT OFF**

Right off to find a list. My house will sparkle today cos I'm so flippin angry ATM:mad:

Sorry flyladies. I shall try and find some cheeriness as I fly.:o
