just a portakabin maybe, till we can find a proper building?

Sounds good to me! Well, I did have a bedtime story prepared if you fancy it?

Goodnight btw, Nice Girl and anyone else that has had to run!

A bedtime story sounds good. I hope you left Gizzy in one piece btw, I shall need him later.

I think Gizzy will be just fine.

maybe not the kind of bedtime story you;re expecting but hope you enjoy it

Oh, clever you! Congratulations, Spiro! I don't know how you manage to get things done so quickly. I have been struggling with something for months and getting nowhere. I am so looking forward to reading it!

::Wanders in, looking for Mr Thornton's cravat which seems to have been mislaid::

This place certainly has potential. Lovely. Perhaps this time we should hang this fine image above the common room mantelpiece?

It's only about halfway through and the title is crap but had to think of something to call it rather than Sparkhouse: The Sequel, which would have been even worse.

If you can stay awake long enough to read all four chapters you'll discover something 'interesting'

Gizzy, meanwhile looks rather thoughtful

Mmmmm...nice!

bit of Lucas for the wall?

Good choice, Maud, I hoped you'd like it. Guy wanted to call it Ye Olde Trippe Inne to make him feel at home, but I wouldn't let him.

Spiro, darn it, i won't be able to read your story tonight,much though I am longing to do so. I have a couple of important and complicated e- mails to write, and as you know it's later here than it is with you...

Oh, yes, Lucas is always a delight to look at. Even when he's gone over to the

No worries - there's a fair bit there to get stuck into at this time of night, I'm off to bed myself now.

Sweet dreams!

Just had a quick read of chap one. it is b*dy brilliant spiro, you have really got into his sweet mind.

Thanks!

I also have an excuse to keep watching it !

Oh golly, you really nailed it, I was quivering away mightily when I read it, you could see him and hear him, I can't wait to get to the rest of it but i must be strong now and get that work done .

Morning, gang. So sorry I wasn't around last time (was very about it) but the kids were a nightmare and I had barely 20 minutes to myself all evening, up and down to one then the other.

Spiro, you wrote the story!!! OOOOooooo, exciting!!!! Can't wait to read it tonight (DH is away and if the kids behave I should have the evening to myself).

"last night", I meant, not "last time"...

Spiro, the story is great, I agree with Massive, you can really picture him in it.

Thank you Lucas!

Hope the kids were 'just' a nightmare, Twigs, not poorly. Do they wake each other up?

Totters in, looking rather dishevelled and smiling enigmatically.

::Hangs the curtains retrieved from the old premises::

Morning all. I am filling time before I take The Girl to the doctor's, to investigate her ongoing lurgy which - based on a telephone consultation - seems to fit no known diagnosis. This will be a doctor we haven't seen before, so I hope they have a nice bedside manner.

I hope to have time to give Spiro's story the attention it deserves later.

Muse - have you turned into Cinderella?

Maud thank you for savingthe curtains, I almost went back to get them myself but I am on the phone so a bit of a mare. Hence still in yesterdays clothes also. Far too much faff.

I like to think of myself as a bit of a Cinders character when being put upon by the mob family but no, just left in a bit of a rush with too much alcohol. You know how it is.
