Thanks for the comment on the blog, really apprecaite it! x

Waves up to cheery and squizz and all.............

No probs, Pippi - I agree, I'm kind-of-functioning at far too early a time. If you'd like to tell my brain cells to *shut UP* and find a way for them to obey you, I'd be very grateful :kisses3:

Here in la-la awakeland, I've done half the contact work, am steadfastly resisting a second cup of coffee, and when I went out for a 10 minute walk at lunchtime, I blagged a load of thin cardboard from the building works going on in the next block mulch, dontcha know tho I'll have to give them a good shake and then hop in the shower immediately after, is that *concrete* dust?

And as for the writing ... you know it makes sense. I should just say that I read Harold Robbins when I was 11 ... its all his fault

Hi KC you sound busy enough mrs, hope you find the sleep issue resolves soon.

Squizz we really do need to know cmon

Hello KC, you've been very busy & it mostly sounds positive stuff

ooh gosh, Harold Robbins ... think he wrote Stiletto & I was about 12 when I read it ... best we don't mention the Linda Lovelace book that did the rounds of the dormitories after lights out ...

OMG, as they say! I sense a writing splurge after my accounts are done (how incredibly boring! but necessary) - thanks Miz!

Bodice ripping and chest waxing ahead for your characters then KC...

There definitely used to be a *certain* style of writing on the old M&B stuff, I can remember reading stuff from the patients day room when I was nursing and trying to work out what they were talking about; I think they had to be careful with censorship as the books were classed as 'romance'.

I remember reading 'Lace' I think it was called, on the bus on my way to work in the early 80's, and in those days it was quite shocking for a book that was available in Smiths!

How interesting that its the "naughty books" that have caught the imagination of all and sundry :D:D I can't contribute to the Mills & Boon debate, sadly, I never read any. Such is the ost of becoming addicted to science fiction at the age of 10...

Anyway, my to-do list ...

- coffee. I'm not hungry yet, but I'm *dying* for a cup of coffee ...
- use or store that thin cardboard - we got another soaking last night, and unless I want a mass of soggy cellulose in the middle of the grass, that has to be a priority.
- sweep up leaves at the front, there's *lots*
- haul out previous years of accounts paperwork - they want a spreadsheet to do the work at a reduced rate; I've always used an accountant because of the impact of the dratted French stuff, but maybe I can work out what to do from the tax returns I've previously photocopied?
- pop into town, do banking, library, pop round to Sainsbo - exchange the kitchen lightbulbs I bought the other day for the right sort and buy a few bits of fresh food.
- *must* wash my hair immediately I get in, so it has a chance to dry without using the dryer too much.
- paid work is in the evening only.
- paperwork project, we'll see.

I help a friend getting his builders paperwork ready for the accountant and do a very basic spreadsheet showing all income in one column and expenditure split out by type (materials, workwear, tools, fuel, insurance, phone, personal etc).

Let me know if you need a hand to set up something for yourself, happy to help.

Good list KC! :T :T Must confess to also never having read a Mills and Boon book! Quite shocking - should probably rectify immediately

I think that I would rather stick pins in my eyes than read a M&B :eek:
