    My sleep pattern has gone weird, Pyxis! After all the sleep during flu my body seems to have decided that 5 hours is quite long enough. This is very unusual for me!

    I love the idea of you all murdering French together.

    Not good, tea! You need a treat of some sort to look forward to for this evening! I think we should appoint you our official creme egg tester. Your task is eat 6 creme eggs in an evening to see if the taste has changed. Are you up for it?

    I sympathise totally on the phone calls. I do that everytime...

  • I can see snow!:T

    There is a car parked outside that must have come from a hilltop, it has snow on the bonnet. Nothing here in the valley but frost.

    There is lots snow on the ground here and its also falling from the sky. Dumbass dog loves the snow so we had fun this morning. I was throwing very loosely packed snowballs in his direction and he was jumping around wagging his tail.

  • Hahahaha! You may begin anytime, tea!

    Everyone has snow! Where is my snow? It's doing it on purpose. Seriously, there isn't a cloud in the sky, the sun is shining down, no wind and it is a lovely day (by everyone else's standards). All the winter haters need to move here and I need to move to a small island very, very north!

    I phoned :) I really need to stop being such a wuss about speaking to people.
  • Yay! Well done, tea. I hate phone calls, so much so I have been known to cut the phone off mid-conversation because I simply can't cope with it. You did well!

  • Why am I constantly sneezing and blowing my nose? I refuse to have another bug, I don't go out-not fair! Mind you, it's probably hayfever with the lovely spring weather we have *sulk*

    Ok, I have a question for you guys, since you're all wonderfully creative. About 10 years ago, I started to write a novel and on impulse I sent the first few chapters to an agency and they said they wanted to represent me, but I moved house, lost the details, somehow lost the manuscript and never did anything with it.

    I used to write all the time. And now I want to write again, because it helped me and gave me a creative outlet. But I just have no inspiration. Any ideas how I can get my spark back?
