Thanks to Helen's brilliant 100 Words A Day blog, I've now done 10,209 words on my next book. I have hardly noticed I was doing it as I've been sitting down each afternoon to try for the 100 words needed and have usually gone over that amount. Such a simple but effective idea and now that I've sent of the m/s I can focus on it a bit more.I've discovered Malteser Icecreams now (such a glutton) and so have the freezer duly stocked and each night S and I sit down quietly (only for a short while though) whilst we eat them.
R, S, Grumpy and I went for supper down at Greve de Lecq after work and whilst R ordered our food, S and I walked the strutting fluffy breezeblock as he surveyed the beach, growled at a few passing dogs and demolished various sandcastles. Anti-social little devil.

lol at the strutting fluffy breezeblock! Poor Grumpy!
Love Malteser icecream too!:-)
Great wordcount! I love Malteser icecreams too, could eat them by the bucket.
Debs, that is brilliant. I am so glad that it is working for you.
That is a useful idea. Nice job on the new manuscript.
Sitting down for ice cream each night...ahh, the life...
Over 10,000 words - that's ace, well done.
lol also at the breezeblock comment. just wanted to know if anyone at the cafe asked about me, regardless of how selfish that may have sounded. im off to beddy-byes, and yes, i can picture the 2 of you eating Malteaser icecreams in front of the telly, relaxing (i mean no offence), and i'm sure it will remain in my head as i am thundering through the jungle for a week, lol. lots of love... again.

j - No they didnt ask about you but V wasnt there and there was a miserable girl in charge who didnt really want to give us food, but then V's son appeared and suddenly she was more helpul. We sat outside and the breezeblock had his sausage. X
lane - that is exactly what he looks like though, bless him.
yvonne - thanks, now I just need to sort this damn virus, I do wish they wouldn't download things onto this damn computer.
helen - it's been great, thanks.
chad - it has worked out very well. The icecreams are lovely.

Also a fan of the malteser ice creams - and indeed anything else involving chocolate or ice cream ...

Any kind of ice cream/lolly sounds heavenly to me. Our freezer is broken and I've got Cookies & Cream withdrawal :-(
