    Dragon, that's exciting! what are you hoping to publish? and a cuppa and, oooh yes please, goosegog pie and cream, havent had that for years!! :j

    I'm trying to write a series of "Cosy Mysteries", the type of novellas where you will get something like a knitting pattern, cross stitch pattern, recipe type thing at the end!

    I have the first two sort of written (well about half done - the plot lines are down but none of the nice descriptive passages)

    Newsflash: I am going to drop my hours to 20 per week to give myself a well-earned break. I am sooooo relieved.

    Great news Ally! You deserve the break (and it will give you more job hunting time!)

    It's alright for some Ally! The most exciting thing I have today is a dental appointment this afternoon *sigh*

    Ah well - time to heat the soup through, get the sarnies ready and the jacket potatoes. Open the bar and hand round free coffee, tea, hot chocolate depending on preference!

    Dragon, that sounds brilliant, please let me know when you're published, I want to buy!

    Ally, I'm so glad you've taken that decision and as Dragon says it gives you more time to look around for a nice job too! Hope you both enjoy your day off.

    catch yo all later :)

    Just been for a MSE-style lunch at Wetherspoons. LOL. A main course and a drink for £5. Wonderful.

    I have decided to take up drawing. I used to draw a lot, not well, just for fun. So I did another MSE-style bargain hunt and bought art materials in Tesco for £3. Gonna express my artistic side later. :money:

    One thing baffled me today, though. I signed up for an evening class on Thursdays 4 miles from my house. Today they emailed me to remind me I had signed up for a course on Tuesdays 30 miles from my house. Errrrr...is it me or is the world falling apart? ROFL.
