Grump. This morning was fun playing with spreadsheets. Now is answering an e-mail from the dimmest client In The World Ever.

Now I've decided what car I want next (in the real world; there's not much point saving up for an F430), I want it now. Dammit.

princesspy is a Bad Influence. So, if anyone knows of an Alfa Spider, in black (or silver, but preferably black) with a hard top, please point me at the owner & I'll offer them Cold Hard Cash. Or maybe a bankers draft.

I want to get things done this weekend because I want to get them done, not because I've let them slip due to being ill / exhausted / away. My housework slaves are on strike, I need to sort out stuff for

fire_kitten and to post

karohemd's birthday present. I'd rather like to get the lawn mown & the car washed & checked, but those are going to have to wait.

I've drawn Joes Edge in the Grand National sweepstake. 25-1 at the last we checked, but with colours I don't like.

I want to know what happens next in

annwfyn's story.

Question: If you *know* you're jealous of an acquaintance, what do you do when you start wishing harm to befall their possessions? Not them themselves (I'm not in that much of a bitchy mood), just "Oh No! What a shame you spilt paint all down your Armani suit!" kind of way.

I can't stop eating; I've been ravenous all week, for things like nuts & flapjacks & fatty/proteiny things. But I managed to jog-with-bits-of-walking 3.2km last night, in 26 minutes. This is why man invented the car. *nods firmly*

You snigger quietly and don't tell them.

I'm daydreaming lots, and keeping my fingers crossed in a guilty sort of way. I'd feel awful if anything *hurt* them, but damage to possessions? Bring it on ;)

I'm 4000 words into the next chapter, and hopefully shall be able to unleash it on the masses this afternoon.

I was going quite well yesterday until

pierot came home early from work to whisk me away from it all and distracted me horribly. Oh, and thank you so much for reading. It is providing a great motivator.

I really do want to know what happens next :) I'll hassle you as much as you let me get away with!

Your third even it wonderfully obscure. :o)

I posted your present today so I don't mind waiting for a while longer. :o)

My third what?

Whoops, there's a t missing, was supposed to say "event", i.e. Charlie Chaplin's coffin.

Come over to the slighter darker side :)

I like being a bad influence. I'm going to start sending you advertisements next

Bring 'em on ;)

take a peep at this ;)

Nothing in black (you have red hair to go with a red car, so I need a black car to go with black hair...) or with a hard top (little ginger shits around here would probably take a stanley knife to a soft top).

I'm safe!

Having said that, I have bookmarked the place...

I have no idea why I thought your car was red last night. Many apologies!

I wsih I shared a birthday with Roger Daltrey. *sighs*

It's pretty cool, isn't it?
