Popped in to say thank you for your e-mail BC.

and to say my chart works, it works.

maybe senders (ha ha not me) should have a ticked chart of some sort.

I will read your story later Butters darling..


and now must go before I get ticked off for being on here and not doing what I am supposed to be doing. :-) :-) :-)

Persie

~~~~~~ feebly lol, I can't think in this weather :-|

Not used google drive Bc Is your blog a google one? If so doesn't it give you google drive option?

Put a general query on the board. Errol or Rollo may have the answer.

So sorry Persie, but I left you off my list by mistake (plus a few others! *blush)..put it down to the heat or creativity or downright technophobia or something...lol... (have re-sent it to you)..now if someone could please help me in getting a story from Google Drive to my blog They have changed the system and have me flummoxed.

*waves to all xxxx

gone midnight here Ann so am off to bed... I will take another look tomorrow afternoon my time for dear little Buttercup.

This is why I did my spreadsheet... not well organised at all Mau .. was scrolling up and down the e-mails. I had to give them a category or else they would be in amongst the masses of jokes and other e-mails I get.


Cheers all Persie :-)

Yes BC should be 2. A snippet from my family Christmas and A walk with my dog. :-)

Perse Lol. I store them in my e mail files. but that looks about right, not sure re BC though I thought we may have had two. I'll check.

Good morning everyone :-D

Thank you Ann...ooh three bonus points! I'm a lucky girl :-D
I've printed your new list, some good suggestions there.

cor you're well organised Persie.......v for victory I like that.....sometimes getting assignments done and dusted does (sometimes) seem like a battle ;-)

Have a smashing Sunday friends
Mau xxx

I did not mind you stepping out of your comfort zone Stella please feel free to do it again anytime..

Now dearest peoples I don't know whether you print and file or store on your pc each assignment as it comes in. What I have done is given you a categeory in my e-mails and have made an excel spreadsheet with little ticks on it.

These ticks are not better, best wonderful or anything of the gold star winner of the week award, they are just simply number crunching.. so for the three assignments I have

Ann - v v v
Helen- v
Dermot- v v v
BC - v
Mau - v v v
Greenfingers - v v v
Rosie - v v v
ChAtoTic - v

Stella and Les one each starting on assignment three

And Errol who has yet to rattle his dags.

Please tell me if I didn't get one that others may have..

Persie

Edit: I did put lovely ticks but GR has given me Vs... so look at them as V for victory of assignment done and dusted. ;-)

thanks Ann :-)

Absolutely fine Stella. :-)

think i might go back in my comfort zone this time and just submit a poem if that is ok.... :-)

Sorry didn't get back after you posted Mau. I have done a check and you may be right that we had these prompts but back in 2010 which is probably why nobody else remembers.

I'll give you 3 bonus options as well then, don't think we've had these.

11. A man elbows your character in a crowd. After he is gone, she discovers her cell phone is too. She calls her own number, and the man answers. She explains that the cell phone has personal information on it and asks the man to send it back to her. He hangs up. Instead of going to the police, your character decides to take matters into her own hands...

12. After your character loses his job, he is home during the day. That's how he discovers that his teenage son has a small marijuana plantation behind the garage. Your character confronts his son, who, instead of acting repentant, explains to your character exactly how much money he is making from the marijuana and tries to persuade your character to join in the business...

13. At a garage sale, your character buys an antique urn which she thinks will look nice decorating her bookcase. But when she gets home, she realizes there are someone's ashes in it....

hmm * dons thinking cap......I could be some time ;-) :-D x

You may well have done Mau but if so I doubt if we tackled all of them. #suggest one yourself if you have an idea. :-)

phew that's alright then lol Ann :-)

And sorry to be picky :-S but have we not had these set pieces before? but should say not The Great Expectations story/poem

Mau xx

hi, got the new suggestions...........so who will be 1st ?

I do not seem to have chaotics e mail or i have mislaid/deleted, can you help out ?


Jan

Lol Mau, everyone has been enthusiastic this week and sent out early, but it is only a 2 week guideline so doesn't matter, as long as we get something.

For those who are concerned at not hearing from Errol, he very much still wants to join us but has other calls on his time away from GR. We shall be patient and wait with baited breath.
However I don't know what has happened to ChAoTic who we didn't hear from last time. Anyone 'seen' Julie around? :-)

Thanks Ann I have it. Is it me late or has everyone sent out early this week? I'm only halfway through my story eek....

yes thank you Ann..i have my thinking cap on... :-)
