You didn't even need to point that out orphan - it went without saying!

rhu so looking forward to reading Misunderstood.

Still waiting for littlie to go to sleep, so no point trying now! So far we have had more milk, water, a sore neck, a sore tummy, quilt fallen off (she's sleeping on a mattress on the floor until I sort a new bed ... how can a quilt fall off, I wonder!) and quilt fallen up so her feet are sticking out ... how many more excuses can she come up with before she gives up?!

Meanwhile I am treating myself to a cream cake and large glass of Bailieys to toast a friends birthday ... she's not actually with me, but it's the thought that counts, isn't it?!!

orphan read that a bit quick and wondered why on earth you had to embroider around your .... and then reread it, Virgin!! Perhaps I do need that opticians appointment!!

An optician's appointment Nickel and maybe lay off the alcohol... though it sounds if you need it tonight!

ice and ilove glad that he has turned up OK, there was some issue about which end of the train we needed to be on. He wandered off in his Captain Stern Face way after the trolley and as they say the rest is history!! Well done orphan for giving him some light refreshment!!

Ooh just saw a trailer for a new TV series on BBC 2 called Odyssey - looks like it features another kick-ass female in Khaki (Anna Friel). Apparently its an American series. Might be good?

I've been watching that Home Fires, I quite like it. Also watched (finally!) The C Word ... Wow! That was one amazing woman. Did anyone else see that? That was the first thing since OG that I have actually watched properly without doing other things at the same time!

BK and orphan will definitely have to kick CJ out early tomorrow as I have a long day at work. I can drop him at the railway station but can't manage any long farewells this time (pity, it's always interesting to get the neighbours talking). Anyway, I'll be seeing him again in three weeks time I think, straight after he's escorted pixie to the wedding.

Really tired tonight so am off to bed and hoping to read a real book which has been on the go for over three months. It's either not very good or I can find more interesting stuff on here, make your own mind up there!

Just I was about to go to bed, ping... FF updates. painted another brill chapter, very tense!

jen so much sexual tension, I love it! Many, many years ago I had a crush on someone at work, and it only ever remained that way (probably for the best), but you have captured it perfectly. I can't wait for more. Now must go to sleep.

There goes my early night now .. thanks jen and painted ... don't think I have the strength the leave them until tomorrow!!!

ilove is he allowed a short break in Bath before he starts the holiday trips, if so I will happily offer some respite!!

Thanks rich (and sorry BK!)

Only managed to catch up with rhubarb's ff tonight but what a treat! I actually feel a bit tearful cos it was such brilliant writing and plotting and it's finished!! rhubarb you are depriving a greater audience of your talent - you need to be published.

BK I wonder if CJ needs an eye test as well as he seemed to need to look very closely at the part you referred to...

This one shot always makes me want to give him a cuddle and say 'it's ok, she loves you not Smurf'

Not sure if any of you brilliant ff writers interested but WH Smith are running a romantic fiction competition in partnership with Mills and Boon and Kobo. You have to submit synopsis and first chapter of 5,500 words by 14th July. Winner gets publishing deal with M & B.
Nickel I'm enjoying Home Fires too and was also deeply moved by the C word!
Planning to give Strike Back a go, do I need to have watched last 9 series to be able to follow it?

or ice shouting at him, " stop over thinking it all and talk to her you daft berk!!"

That too bk but him being all vulnerable did appeal

BK I'm about to put CJ on the train within the hour and he's going back to Bath to stay with his parents. We don't need him until 20 June..... make the most of him. Are you still signed off? If so, I reckon he's a perfect stressbuster.

Oooh I was the first this morning and didn't realise. Happy new month! It's cold again but at least it's sunny.

Ooh, a pinch and a punch .... :)

(Or is that just what it sounds like my two are getting up to downstairs?)

Morning. Only just gone 9am and I am really wishing school was open today.

Morning ladies. Sneaky day off today . DH has even done the school run on his way to work! Sadly I do need to get some housework and good shopping done, depressing activities for a day off!

Thought I would have a nice Monday morning coffee and ff catch up before all that - painted gave me palpitations but lola managed to soothe me with a shirtless Jake in Lake Como. Good grief, I'm exhausted, and it's not even 9.30.

rhubarb I must admit that when I was reading the four chapters of misunderstood yesterday, I was glad you'd treated us to all of them at the same time. There was so much suspense at the end of each chapter that you'd have had us baying for blood for an update if we'd been left hanging!

Another new month and we're still going strong!

Well, I think I've caught up with the rest of the ff updates. Such a treat to read - thank you lola, jen , painted and spo. All fab as ever.

Spo just need to say, please keep writing your bonkers SZS adventures. They're so well written and plotted. Oh and they might just be hilarious too! I'm still trying to come to terms with rhubarb having a break from the ff, so don't push me over the edge and announce your premature retirement. Unless of course you're too busy writing your other stories you know, the Thomas ones...

Good shopping = food shopping. Can't even type properly this morning.

Agreed, jen, a honeymoon hungry Jake in Lake Como was a rather delicious accompaniment to my morning coffee.

Hmmmmm probably reading far too much into this but......
