Night all xx

So long, farewell, auf wie...Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Calm down Darren, take desk breaths and think nasty thoughts.

That's a sign of stress Lorraine! Particularly the eye, people who get bad headaches tend to get twitchy eyes as well. And if you get a twitchy eye regularly you should go get your eyes checked, very important

Thanks Jud, stress could explain it, not more stress than usual but I feel like I just want to scream at everyone at the moment :(

Aww poor Lorraine.

Thanks Gingerlily... I just think I need a holiday TBH :( Three weeks to go...

This day next month I will be on my way to Milton Keynes to see my family. And a couple of special people. . .

Lucky girl :) Must get round to organising a big party ! Feeling like partying, me :)

ooo just down the road from where I'm from. N'ton.

N'ton. . . Northampton? Or Nuneaton?

Northampton. I'm a Northamptonian (apparently) lol

Big hugs Lorraine!! Have some of my custard doughnut (I don't share these with just anybody now)

On the positive side of things, I just finished another story by one of our authors and started a second! Woop woop. They are only short stories though but never mind.

Short stories are the best though for those times you just cant afford the time to invest in a longer one!

Thanks Jud, but I think I've had enoug comfort food now, until I hit the soup tonight (nom nom)

DD you'll be glad to hear that your pillow won't be damaged... The onions took care of the tears, now there are none left!

Got to add a new author to the list, how can I miss out on a horror writer !!??

Oooh gonna have to bump this one up my tbr list then :) You'll have to tell me how you manage to work/write/sleep/watch a movie and read all at the same time Karl !

Will have to check that out ! No won't read it as part of my challenge, but I seem to be making good progress, so I might treat myself to an extra book or two :)

Don't write if you don't feel like it Karl. You've made excellent progress, you deserve a break if you feel like one x

So didn't mean for it to come across like that lol ;)

ÓË�

I'm up to 8 books/short stories now

Jud is such a bookworm! Well done girl, keep going x

we should a thread discussing targets and update each other on the progress.

or is that interesting for only terribly nosey people like me?

My OCD says it's a fab idea Elle ;-)

I am a book worm and I also read for an hour and half total during my breaks at work. An hour and a half everyday is quite a lot and then of course I usually get some time at home too.

I tend not to come on here much when I'm at home. Just the odd time, usually it's just when I'm at work when I go on at home I find it past bedtime and I have done nothing else

hoovers it more like.

Glad you said that Karl - I nearly asked what a hoover was!

It's something my husband never touches Ignite!

This forum should be renamed 'The Black Hole'!

I have to admit when I'm in the mood and have the time I quite enjoying cleaning. It's not often that the 2 circumstances coincide however. Must drive hubby crazy, I put my music on (musicals or disney, or both!) and sing my head of in the process.

Can't stand Television. Well, rarely. I'll make an exception for Professor Cox!

I don't have a tv, but i have hundreds of dvds, lots of cartoons and comedh.

I don't watch much tv.

You're going native there GL with comedh...

Oh dear, another visit from the typo leprechaun!

I also don't have my own TV, but I do live in a house with 3 TV addicts so there is even one in the kitchen/dining room.

I, however, dislike watching TV for the sake of it. I only ever watch certain shows (mostly American), but then it's normally on DVD or *cough* downloaded.

I generally download new episodes and then when the DVD comes out I'll buy it, if it is one of my favourite shows. I'm too impatient to wait for the DVDs of some things...

It's even worse when you are already caught up with the programme and the idea of waiting over a year for them either to come to the UK or come to DVD is just.. painful.

I mean, not so bad with older programmes because you don't feel *so* behind.

Ha, yeah probably best.

And I don't like GOT so that doesn't bother me. Dexter though - love it!

Still waiting for A Game of Thrones to come on TV over here. Greek TV sucks!

Game of Thrones Season 2 has finished filming though :o) and they are filming season 3 and 4 together next year so fingers crossed there wont be so long between the airing of those 2!!

Yeah, I am tempted myself to get the Dexter books. Apparently they are a lot different.

(and they film GOT near me :D and if I get this new job, I'll literally be RIGHT beside the studios :P)

Yeah that is the reason I was so wary of them. I generally dislike first person narrative in novels.

And yes, I even know the person who builds the sets!

Don't bother with the dexter books. Well, do what you like, of course but I got the first four or five. First one was okay. Exactly the same as the show, right down to the dialogue, I believe. Been a while since I read them. I threw the third one across the room. Haven't bothered with them since. Rubbish.

Ha, yeah I have heard similar reviews. Too many good books out there to waste time on ones that are rubbish!

My cousin was an extra in the series (you can see her in the jousting scene with the poor horsey) and my best pal makes the costumes :o) My cousin moved up to doing hair and make up in series 2, well assisting with hair and make up she isn't fully trained yet.

Oh Elle!! Look out for the cover of Northern Woman that's my wee cousin!!! I'm so proud, she's gonna be famous one day.

My cousin really likes Peter Dinklage, says he's really nice to chat to.

Edit: as opposed to some of the others who can be a bit stuck up apparently.

maybe aloof is a better way of describing them than stuck up, I don't think any of them are actually mean or particularly rude to her

I love that King Robert is the guy from the Tesco advert. Although it kinda takes away from the regalness.

Awk Jud, we know people who know people~!

It's a really lovely place where they film it, and they also go about different bits of Northern Ireland. I remember when they where filming last it was on the news because one of their sets collapsed with the bad weather and someone got hurt!

And I'll have a gander next time I'm near any shop with mags!


& Arya terrifies me.
