1) paper legends: I am so happy with how paperlegends is doing! Despite the late start there have been an INCREDIBLE number of sign-ups so far and I'm just totally amazed and so bloody happy! Some of the summaries are just incredible and I really hope they get written... like the one with Merlin as a mild-mannered greengrocer, amongst many, many others which have me very excited =) To all of you who've pimped this BB, joined the comm, signed up, offered help, been supportive: THANK YOU ♥

2) car boot sale: Did my first ever car boot sale yesterday, obviously with the hope of making some money to put towards a new computer. I MADE NOTHING. Seriously. I kept trying to blame the weather and lack of people and whatever, but my friend Nichola and my brother both at least made some money. Actually, it's not true to say I made no money. The truth is I lost money. Oh yes. I actually made £5 and it cost £6 to get in. Do you now see what I'm talking about when I refer to the fact that I am cursed? Through my not posting much at all the last few months, you don't know the half of it, but believe me when I tell you that luck these days avoids me like the plague. You have to laugh though, right? So I choose to laugh.

3) reading: It's a Bank Holiday here today and I am determined to catch up on some fanfic reading. Sadly a lot of the stuff I had bookmarked to read is lost now with my computer dying, and I don't even remember what I had bookmarked on there. Still, the last couple of weeks I've been saving fic links on my webmail so am going to try and read some of those today. I believe I have earnt a day of shamelessly doing nothing but indulging my love of fanfic, so that's what I'm going to do. With much chocolate to sustain me, obviously.

4) work: Have a crazy busy week at work this week which involves driving many, many miles for meetings (Tues & Weds) and a days training (Thurs). The meetings were my suggestion and I'll probably be quite heavily involved in the training but ugh, going to need to find some energy from somewhere.

5) postal: There are a few new flisters here now and some of my older flisters have moved recently, so if you want to could you please check out the postal addresses post and check/add your info? Thanks =)


Hope you're all doing okay ♥

Hi hon!

It's good to read an entry of yours. *clings*

Thank you ♥

[psycho-warbaby.livejournal.com]

Ohh.. this is scary.. I was JUST thinking about you.. well okay maybe earlier on today.. but still!!!

How HAVE you been?!?! Are you still doing those crazy timetables? Or have you moved on? *gives super-dooper caffeine filled, chocolately, sweet energy cake*

Anyway congrats on such a sucessful start up with paperlegends! I had no doubt it would have taken off.. especially with you at the helm! As for the car boot sale.. ah well, we all have our gains and losses, maybe next time... if there is a next time!

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Weird huh, especially considering how rarely I make personal posts these days!

I'm doing okay and yes, still doing the crazy timetables; that's what the meetings are about Tues/Weds and much of the planning day on Thursday too =)

I'm so happy with how paperlegends is doing, it's really exciting =)

*hugs muchly*

It is always nice to hear from you. I wish you luck on raising money for the new computer and don't give up. The good thing about bad luck streaks is that they also have an end.:hugs: I changed my addy on your list BTW ;-)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you, that's a lovely thing to say ♥

My bad streak is well overdue it's end so I hope it hurries up!

Hey there sweetie ♥
It's so good to hear from you ^^

I'm really happy for paperlegends and I'd def sign up if it hadn't been for my computer problems ... sill thinking about it actually, we'll see ...

Oh, I didn't know about your 'postal addresses' post ^^ Great idea :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much hon and it'd be lovely to see you sign up if you're able to =)

Feel free to add yourself to the postal thing if you want to =)

*hugs muchly*

*hugs lots*

Hi, darling! I'm so pleased at the wonderful reception that paperlegends has received; it's going to be brilliant :) If it wasn't for your persistence we might not have a bigbang at all!

Mm, I owe you an email... Will get to that shortly :) (Have been busy eating your chocolate and ficcing furiously.)

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Hey stranger =)

I am so glad (and not at all surprised) to hear that the chocolate worked. Told you, didn't I? =)

*hugs muchly*

1 - I'm excited to have signed up, even though I've already started freaking out about it! It should be awesome, though! The fandom loves it -- and you -- for setting this up for us :D

2 - Awww, *hugs tight* I'm glad you're choosing to laugh instead of cry though.

3 - I feel like I need a holiday already, even though I just had one. There's nothing wrong with catching up on fanfic reading though!! I really want to do more fanfic reading myself :)

4 - Good luck! *hugs*

5 - Nothing new on that front for me, so no need to check it out!

Take care, hon! ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I just hope it all goes well... guess we'll see =)

You have to laugh at all this bad luck karma seems to be throwing my way, else you'd sit in a corner just rocking and crying!

*hugs muchly*

[prfctdaze.livejournal.com]

Good to hear the sign-ups are going well!

Not so good to hear about the sale :( You are due for some good luck, hon. I'm wishing so hard that you're able to find a way to get your new computer.

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I AM due for some good luck, dammit! Just glad I'm still able to be optimistic =)

*hugs hard*

[ansku]

I'm glad to hear paperlegends is doing fine :)

I've always wondered if the car boot sales and stuff like that are actually worth it. I guess some people have to make some money because they keep going back, but I think I would end up right there with you, losing more than it costs.

I hope you had a good Bank Holiday :) I've been there so many times, losing my to-read -list because of some computer trouble... I try to comfort myself that at least most of my old favourites are safe at delicious and that really good fics tend to get recced over and over again, but I'm sure I've lost many jewels along the way nevertheless.

*squeezes*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It's usually worth it. I guess it's a combination of the weather being pretty crappy that day and the fact I have nothing worth selling!

I'm a bit gutted I lost the fics I had bookmarked to read, but at least it was only 7 or 8 and I have more now saved on webmail to keep me going =)

*hugs hard*

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Just catching up on stuff after my holiday. I take it you've started your own big bang there...cool! Sounds brilliant. I haven't really gotten into Merlin fic much, but I'm sure I'll find something to read. :)

*hugs*

Go on over and join!
