soulstar | Things done on Friday

Been to the sorting office to pick up a packet that needed signing for... and discovered it was the photos from thewatch - ta! :-D

Took said photos over to Mum's and left them there for el bro. Duly admired (and dodged) newly done paintwork, and ooo-ed over baby lettuce and tomato plants (small stalks with leaves on top. very nice I'm sure).

Had a highly amusing time in Sainsbury's. Shopping while slightly manic? Much more fun. Because you can add trolley sound-effects out loud without caring. Brrrrrrrrm brrrrrrrm brrrrrrrrrrrrrrm! Bought too much interesting salad (still manic).

Burned Lost 2.17 & 18 to disc.

Tried to fix the hall lightswitch more securely to the wall. Failed, because the wall is kinda crumbly and not inclined to provide much grip for the rawlplugs. Oh well.

Called the Yorkshire Building Society and discovered that I've either got to go to Eastbourne, or write to them, to do a transfer from one account to the other. Ho hum.

Called Scottish Power and got the sudden and bizarre electricity bill they'd sent me (I have a pre-payment meter!) sorted out.

Called the dentist, and was told to call back in three weeks. Again. *headdesk*

Printed off the rest of the course material for my OU course.

Had toast for breakfast! (I keep forgetting to record my breakfasts, and it is an integral part of PEDW, after all!)

Realised that my cat disciplining skills are completely rubbish:
Xander: *plays up*
Me: Argh! I'm going to BEAT YOU!!!! *takes single step towards him*
Xander: *flees in abject terror and hides under the bed... for 30 seconds*
Me: *goes back to what I was doing*
Xander: *emerges, plays up*
Me: Argh!!! (....rinse and repeat)

And now I'm going to.... to.... have a go at editing that damn fic, I expect. Oh, no! I know: I'm going to answer emails. That's a good idea. I'll do that, then.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

That's why I've gone for the more challenging option at first glance - but it's better I think.

This one is the more challenging, for me. I think! It perhaps doesn't give me very detailed plot ideas, but it'll be interesting anyway. The requests I got were:
First Request: Sam/Gene,Sam's flat,slash please
Second Request: Sam/Gene, lost and found, drink
Preferences/Restrictions: No test card girl thats all

So I'm going for the second one, and actually using the 'no test card girl' as a bit of a plot point to get it started off. (I'm hoping the person just doesn't want her appearing, and isn't allergic to *any* mention of her!!)

The one you got was one of my choices, actually - the third, I think! I thought it sounded interesting, but didn't have any definite ideas, so I'm glad you got it :-) The Annie one from Chris' pov sounds like a brilliant idea, and I'd love to read it! Good luck with developing that.
