well you could try the CS Hester... or drop them in a book bank anonymously... or try selling them online

monnagran

You should write your own 'how to' book Hester. It would be a best seller and all your money worries would be over.

Silvasava, even I had to start somewhere, lol.
Greenbee I was hoping to sell a lot of books online but you now need a passport to sell via amazon & I don't have a passport! I've tried ziffit but I keep getting a 'Sorry we are currently offline message'
Monna, I've joined a writing circle, but to be honest I daren't tell them about my stories as I think I'd scare them. I haven't told them about my writing blog either. I have to take in something I written next week, I can only find 2 stories that are suitable for a mixed audience!

You can colour me curious about a how-to book that you read Hester. I figured yiu invented most of that stuff And how to what?.... like actually how?... etiquette of?.. things to?..oh my. Reminds me of the time I bought 20 meters of silk bondage rope. Ended up with a bed time session less erotic and more like a couple of boy scouts trying to earn a knot badge

What a lovely sounding day you had Monnagran. Here at chez softy we had friends round for dinner. The food was fine but their teen was in foul temper and they had a family argument at our dinner table. I'm still getting over it, don't cope well with conflict.

Nursemaggie, saw something in the Aldi catalogue here today, an over the door ironing board. Smaller than a regular board it hangs over a door and folds down for use. It wasn't dear. Didn't know if that idea was of any use if you could Google one over there.

Softstuff, one book is called The sensual Art of Female Dominance, another is called Erotic Bondage, this contains important advice such as 'Always keep a pair of sharp scissors handy in case a knot sticks and the inlaws turn up unexpectedly', it .
My favourite book that may be in the 6 books I keep is called Screw the Roses, Send me the Thorns!!

Thanks softstuff. I think our doors are a bit too flimsy for that.

Don't think I fancy that anywhere but the kitchen and that does not have a door. We took it off as you need to stand in the living room to get in the fridge but you need to have the door shut to get at the fridge. I hope you understand what I mean.

I spent yesterday at a workshop on Spiritual Healing. I feel almost saintly now next to you depraved lot!
it was pretty boring though..

ivyleaf

Oh poor nursemaggie, you definitely sound a bit squashed

Hester All I can say is :rotfl: even though that's completely unhelpful.

monnagran What a lovely day you had. I wasn't actually at all productive in the garden, just went out to see what was growing and what wasn't, and spotted the peony

Lyn I saw your post on the other thread, what a shame if you feel forced to move because of the building. That's rotten for you

Mar Sorry the workshop was boring, that's a real shame. Did you wish you'd just stayed at home and read a scary story?

Slightly concerned today IVYLEAF walking Cookie I have to pass a field actually IN the village where the house that owns the land has been empty for a few years and we saw someone with a theodolite surveying a few weeks back. They took down and shredded all the trees along the boundary and in the field some weeks ago but this afternoon there were a gang of people taking down some derelict outbuildings in the large garden belonging to the empty house. Given the plans of the building firms just up the road I now have misgivings about what might happen on the field concerned. That will really be too close to home!

monnagran

Oh my word, Softstuff. What a vision your antics with silk bondage ropes conjures up. Whatever went on? A murky bit of sheepshanking? Or a bit of clove hitching?

Come on Hester. Use your creative abilities. Rewrite one of your dubious stories and substitute all risque references with one of cooking, or golf, or gardening or something equally innocuous . Should be an entertaining read.;)

Your spirit has always given the impression of being in the pink, Mar. I am amazed to hear that it is in need of healing. Did you know that the best medicine for a fragile spirit is unlimited jellybabies.

Lyn, my heart goes out to you. I know full well that TPTB take no notice at all of the public's views but perhaps if a lot of you combined forces you may give the developers a pause for thought. Anything is worth a try.

Nothing much achieved here again. I've been knitting a tea cosy for a friend of DIL's, one of the old fashioned sort. The one with vertical pleats of alternating colours and a pom pom on the top. It looks a bit small to me so either she buys a smaller teapot or I knit another, bigger, cosy.

ETA: the tea cosy is old fashioned, not the friend.
