The journey up was NOT awfully funny - just awful - ok??? Thanks - though I was nervous... Delighted you like the prez. And it's setting.<BR/><BR/>mags - Moonshine burst now a thing of the past. Don't mention deadlines again - hysteria has turned into blind panic. Ditto mentioning being knickerless on the Isle of Wight. Oh, the shame... <BR/><BR/>mummy - have just thrown the sick soup down the loo.

A bit uncalled for to bring to mind the forgotten underwear again!!!! Not funny for you, I'm sure, but it gave us a chuckle!!<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the 3lb loss last week. I hope that the well-deserved splurge on EastzEast veggie menu will not have interrupted the downward trend. <BR/><BR/>I'm very envious that you managed a whole chapter of Moonshine, but very proud of you. Sadly I cannot report the same progress. The deadline is two weeks away and panic is definitely morphing into hysteria!<BR/><BR/>Lots of love,<BR/>Mags xxxMargaret McDonaghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17311554155441835957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457140200247424636.post-53266765299533270162008-10-21T15:21:00.000+01:002008-10-21T15:21:00.000+01:00Oh, Chris, I never dreamt you'd had such a funnily...Oh, Chris, I never dreamt you'd had such a funnily awful time getting to Manchester! I'm glad you enjoyed your night out in - ON - the Town, though. I don't like Manchester one little bit.<BR/><BR/>OK, OK, I loved the Lit Fest, right! Seriously, it went down really well and you were great. If you were nervous it didn't show; you seemed so relaxed and your sense of fun showed in the answers you gave to Sherry's questions. <BR/><BR/>I thought I behaved well not asking in a sing-song voice (like I threatened to): "Where do you get your ideas from? Do you know any famous authors?" *snigger*.<BR/><BR/>IF there'd been time I would have asked what comes first - setting, plot or characters? <BR/><BR/>Sadly, time ran out all too quickly but at least we had a quick natter and thank you for the lovely present which I am enjoying very lots!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad Elle fed the cats before she locked herself out.Pat Posnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024751148905919332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457140200247424636.post-9835874031883080052008-10-21T14:23:00.000+01:002008-10-21T14:23:00.000+01:00mummy - it was NOT funny at the time but we're oka...mummy - it was NOT funny at the time but we're okay now. Do try EastzEast if you get a chance - they have Bollywood boys and girls as hosts and waiters (so beautiful!) and everything about it was amazing. 4 point soup? FOUR?

I've never been to that indian restaurant, it sounds divine! Anything yummy and veggie is fine by me! Mmmm and with that I'm off to put my extravagant 4 point soup into the microwave for lunch....<BR/>oh and forgot to say congrats on the 3lb loss!
