Good morning everyone..

i can't believe how quickly Monday mornings come round..

xx

Morning all, just logged on and popped in.... I have a really busy day today, and slept in again!

I see I have mail... I'll go and look in a mo, but might not be able to review until later.... I have a really busy day, today, with GP and my parents visiting. MUST swear at the kitchen!

Love

Daff xxxx

It's a long long time since I saw my kid off to school, Lynda, but I remember that feeling....Grins back.....am off to the park with my doggie. Bye for now. BC XX

Am i strange or does anyone else get a feeling of contentment when they've got the kids off to school, got the washing on and the dishwasher going?

Got my toast and tea and sitting at my laptop ready to start work (I work from home), but i'm talking to my new friends on here first. Grin....

Morning fellow scribblers. Coffee and breakfast finished with, so have no excuses now, will have to get dressed...lol...BC XX

Good morning Lynda, fine thanks, not dressed yet though!

Good Morning Everyone!

How is y'all today?

Lynda xx

OK Helen, will send it to you. Yes, gone very quiet, I too am off to bed now. Nite.

Ann, I for one look forward to the latest news, please don't stop sending to me!

You are right, it is like we are submitting our children for inspection, lol, but it needs to be done, because we are writers!!!!!!

PS have you noticed how quiet it has become on this thread? Think i will go to bed! Night night. xxx

s***s law means it was probably me hoist with my own petard but I do hope not. But it is sort of like when people criticize our children, even when we know we are in the wrong isn't it?

But I know, even if I think I don't agree with the criticism I go back and look and try and change it.

I do know I tend to write more than I should and am trying to precis the last lot. However All the fun of the fair is not for publication so I leave that as it is. I will go on writing it, please if you want to follow the story let me know and I will go on sending it to you, but it wont now be part of my exercises. I will send other pieces for that so ATFOTF would be extra. Please say if you want to read it.

BC, lol!

Girls, I will never divulge the culprit so quit worrying!

As I said, it's me who need to get over it !!! All comments appreciated thank-you. xxx (Wishes, as usual, she had kept her mouth shut..)

Sooo now the remaining nine or ten of us are frantically searching our Sent Box to see what we said to Helen....lolol.....if it was me, I didnt mean it, am clumsy with words....XX

xx

Phew! Thank goodness for that...

There's criticism, and there's constructive criticism. If it helps its all good.

No, Teresa, it wan't. I appreciate everything you have said. xx

I want to be less sensitive and more appreciative!!!

Art...art...art.....

I hope that wasn't me Helen, I certainly dont' do it to upset anyone, and I'd be mortified if I thought for one minute I had reduced someone's confidence because of something I'd said.

I do try to follow up with what could be done instead, or to improve.

Ann, I agree with you.

I know that the reason I joined this group is that I want to improve - but if someone says something faintly derogatorily, as happened a few weeks ago, I am really hurt. But I know I need to hear these things and I know I need to become tougher! And take on board the comments and learn from them.

I haven't dropped out because I love to write and I want to be helped. I think we should be as honest as possible with each other because I for one need practice at being criticised.

I don't blame my critic, it's what I need to hear, and I so need to get used to this!

There you are, that underscore causes problems, lol

it looks like a space, when it's not. I've got on in my email, so I know what people do in error.

Now you've sorted it, it should be ok from now on.

Teresa - thank you - i think its worked.
