20 somethings

I love sausage rolls. I have to say I really, really miss pastry. Cornish pasties, sausage rolls, ham and chicken pie, mmmmmmm
 
I started writing again last night. It's been ages since I put in a good couple of hours writing. Managed to get almost 4,000 words and 8 pages. I mostly write supernatural fiction. Urban Fantasy, you'd call it. Anyone a fan?
 
Do you base it on anything Mandy? Like a fanfiction sort of thing or is it all your own idea? Can't say it would be my cup of tea, though I am a sucker for fanfictions online <3 Law and Order:SVU mainly, I always find it interesting how many talented writers there are out there who aren't known...truly astonishing!

Thanks for the welcome back girlies, my scales are being positive this week but I'm now peeing myself that I'll eat something that will make me bloat or 'be heavier' by tomorrow morning...I'm officially insane. I've had a productive morning and cleaned and rearranged my bedroom and given the kitchen a good clear out!
 
Just managed to get my husband a free ticket for the football so that I can have a lazy day. Got some college work to do but other than that, bliss!

Still 2 sausage rolls in the fridge which I WILL avoid, but other than that we're good. My scales are showing a STS a yesterday so I'm a happy bunny.

Plus we've decided to try for a baby. Sqweeee!!
 
Welcome back jenna. Ooh mandy a lie in sounds lovely. What a nice daughter you have. I've not heard of urban fantasy. I wish I could write but my brain doesn't work anymore. It can still see patterns and follow instructions but that's about it.
 
Ooooh the fun part is the trying haha

I don't base it on anything, Jenna. I get some idea into my head and then roll it like a movie for a while and then sit down and type it out. It's much easier to imagine a story than it is to write one though, and I struggle sometimes. But then, what writer doesn't?

At the moment, I'm doing a story based around parallel worlds, vampires, witches, and alternate histories.
 
Aww that's fantastic news, Clare! You know what they say...practice makes perfect ;)

That does sound really interesting and I do enjoy those sorts of themes but it's something I imagine I'd focus more on if I was watching it rather than reading it but who knows. Do you put them up online? I'd be interested in having a peek if you did :)
 
I usually put a snippet of what I'm working on in the notes section of my facebook, but since Timeline came in, I can't even FIND my notes section anymore lol
 
Clare 1 sausage roll shouldn't ruin your progress. I miss sausage rolls, pies, cakes and pastries too. Living in the land of pie doesnt help either! I nearly jumped a woman who had a box of 10 pies earlier today.

I have been good today, had a bowl of fruit and yogurt for breakfast. Walked into town with my son and did some shopping. It's about 2 miles walk. We baa'ed at the sheep then bought some lamb. Lol. Did the shopping and I picked up 2 nail polished in boots (i had a voucher) so I have something to do at night until my wool arrives. Then I got a lift back home had lunch (mum made Tesco reduced fat sausages, sw chips and beans, so I grabbed some fruit too. Gave my son half my sausage, a load of beans and chips off my plate because nanny forgot him, but the reduced portion was fine. He polished it all off too.) Now he has just had a bottle and is having a nap while I go prepare dinner of lamb biryani! (needs to marinate). Syns so far 2, and I have my a and b left :D dinner is syn free too so I can enjoy a chocolate treat tonight, or have a becks 0% alcohol beer (2.5syns).

How is everyone else's Saturday going? The line is drawn under Friday now :) I bumped into a fellow flabber in town and she said she is doing rubbish this week. :(
 
I lol'd at we baa'd at the sheep then bought some lamb haha!

I'm having a lovely Saturday, everything productive is out of the way so I'm just chilling :) Hoping my mum brings me back something nice from her little shopping trip...that's the good thing about being smaller now...she can buy me things and will know that they'll fit :)
 
I just been shopping with my mum a nice change but she insisted on eating out, at a chip shop! Not good!
 
My OH has gone out with my dad and brothers and had buffet so it could have been worse had we gone with them lol
 
A portion of chips is 17.5 syns if that helps you work out weekly syns. So nice your OH gets on with your family.

Jenna, I agree that is nice. I bought a GORGEOUS long cardigan in topsham the other day at a boutique shop (seriously bad addiction) they only had a medium so i wasn't going to try it on but the owner said to try it anyway and it looked so amazing, and im thrilled it'll be something i can wear at target :) I love going into shops and know there will be something nice for me. Now I need to stop going in shops. Haha. No more clothes until 4.5 stone! Oh, when in topsham we went to dart's farm shop and the butcher laughed at me when I pointed at the picture of a cow and said "look Nate, cow, cow goes moo" then pointed at the meat and said "then it becomes that and we go 'mmmm.'" people laughed when I pointed out little green pasta and said "ooh look Nate, green maggot pasta to wriggle in your tummy" and tickled his tum. Oh well. I like pointing things out to him.

Clare, love it when you get a free afternoon, not that I get them these days. haha.

Can't believe i missed so many replies happening while I was typing. Ha
 
Feel crappy today. My brother in law is coming for dinner as well. Said I'd make a curry, I don't even LIKE curry (unless its from the Chinese!)
 
Oh well, stuffed up again lol will have to see what monday brings

I love that kind of fiction, my other half laughs at the number of books I have like that lol!

Xx
 
Clare congratulations on trying for a baby! It's so exciting!! :) if you need any advice at all im happy to help, I was a trying to conceive fiend! Lol! It worked though cause now I have my gorgeous son :)

Well todays not been great for me, I had a migraine attack at 1am last night whilst feeding jack, felt like something went pop behind my right eye and feel like I've been punched in it now. I've been in bed in the dark all day and ben has just brought jack up when he needs feeding and then taken him back downstairs afterwards. It's starting to get better, I can keep my eyes open now and the light isn't hurting as much anymore. I haven't had anything to eat at all today though, and only two glasses of water, so I'd better rectify that I guess, though I don't even feel hungry. Xx
 
Aw you should eat something, hope it gets better soon x
 
I read alot of stories on wattpad about werwolves etc.. on my phone, alot of it is young teens writing them but theres some really good stories on there aswell and they often get published
