Awake and up all night

I was here in the forum many moons ago. In those days the breast cancer thread was the place to hang out overnight. When I rejoined recently I was surprised to be able to have the same user name but a new account and MACMILLAN couldn't find the old me.

Anyway I am there and I used to post scribbles and those DMs are a pic I found in the old thread and untech me has managed to copy and paste it here! 

Another poster at the time was into DMs hence my quick scribble.

Cheers

Evening again Shims. Chief hamster gremlin already on my case and no emojies.

Anyway, fabulous DMs collage and my eldest would also be your pal as she's worn them for many years as her main footwear of choice. Her dad and me got her a pair of 20 eyelet numbers (almost knee high) 30 Christmases ago and she's still got them. Can't really wear them for work but she's got a selection of DMs in shoes which look great with office clothes. Wonder if there's a connection as she's also exceptional at art? And that's not a scribble, so think on.

The breast cancer forum's legendary for its longevity, so does that get busy overnight hon? xxx

Helloooo . No, sadly, the busy thread there, once full of 'fruit loops' is really only one poster saying night way before midnight now. I was there 9 years ago!

Anyway, what's all this about you writing novels? Come on, spill the beans!  ️️️

Cheers 

Er, how did you stumble across that? 

More pressingly it took an age to get the last post in print! Umpteen attempts to prove I'm human, capchas galore and accusations of malicious intent! That post wouldn't have got an X certificate. If there's sudden radio silence it'll be cos i don't fancy hoop jumping tonight my sweet. 

Now that's a shame about the BC thread dwindling, but I'm sure a poster of your calibre could relight it hon. Surely nut jobs don't exclusively reside on this one, hmmm? xxx

Grrrr the s must have heard you have a had a snooze and are targeting you. 

You mentioned your novels a year ago... I know this kuz it comes up if you search scribble.

No seriously, that thread is almost 100 percent one goodnight.

Cheers

Aww, that's really sad.

Aye, it was fine here earlier but really sluggish since I came back around 11pm. I guess Manuel got laid off.

The novel thing was a pass time for evenings. To keep the house and kids going post divorce I used to have 3 jobs, one full-time and two part-time every day, weekends off. When the girls left home I wanted to keep my typing skills well oiled so decided the self entertaining way was to write. A challenge was around 10 thousand words per night but I usually stopped in the early hours so it could have been more. 

Even with a long work day living alone was easier than it is now, but I was 20 years younger so that's a factor xxx

Why are we so hard on ourselves? You may not be just feeling your age. 20 years ago your recent experiences would have been hard on you then too.

Let's think the strength you grew back then is what is fueling you now!

Sooo you found any treasure in your cupboard wrangling?

Cheers 

 part 2. Grrr 

Lol! Aye if you count umpteen bottles of half full fabric conditioner and furniture polish, circa 2013.

Nope, no treasures and not even a 1p coin. I'm half hoping there'll be a stash of long forgotten notes but that's highly unlikely as I'm super careful with money. OH, on the other hand...

Sounds like an undersink type cupboard so unless you come across vintage packaging probably not a lot of scope for treasure 

Ooh where might OH have forgotten he had stashed stuff?

My dad put notes in paperback books! Right little cache!

Cheers

Hey, my dad was like yours. He was always highly mistrustful of banks, even though he held accounts, and would find ingenious places to hide wads of notes. When both mam and dad passed we had to go through everywhere with a fine tooth comb, just in case. He always wanted hard cash to hand in emergencies. 

OH not so much. He's careless/forgetful and only yesterday hadn't a clue where he'd put his football slip. It was a £101 winner for crying out loud but it turned up in the trackie pants he was still wearing!!! Will pat him down in future. 

I often despair but it's not all his fault xxx
