Top Momma?

Oh my God?

2 days I lasted.

Just two??

Hee hee hee.

 

But I don’t care,

 

because,

 

you see,

 

well,


look…

Oh yes…

 

And every one is fast asleep in my house so I’m going to have to share a glass of wine and a cuddle with Flora the gerbil, and look at my pretty certificate, (which I don’t think I can print yet as we’re low on ink.)

 

Bugger.

 

No fun.

No, wait, I’m going to run upstairs and put my ice cold hands on Mr B’s sleeping back and make him jump out of his skin, then say, ‘Whoops sorry babe, but guess what? I did it.’

 

Then I’ll get cuddle and he’ll get a nice cold back.

 

Perfect.

 

Come on Bert buddies. You can do it too.

    Cami, thanks babe, and go go go.

    Holly thanks my sweet. Can’t wait to read your novel. Is Char’ in it?

    Deb, that’s it…it’s the November thing, hee hee. Anyway, we know we’re Top Mommas don’t we. x

    Lee, wow, a superlative, or me, no ones ever done that before. Thank you. And the twins are welcome any time as long as they bring their mummy with them.

    Belle, Oh imagine! That is my dream. But hey, I’ll sign you a copy even if it doesn’t get published. And you can have a lock of my hair, and a used drinks cup. ;)

    Mrs Weasley, I didn’t do it. They were soooo cold and he’s been a poorly boy bless him. I got my cuddle this morning though.

    Kim, that Holly, tsk. She’s a one.

    RC I am really excited. I just have to make sure I do something with it now. Thank you so much.

    Oh orey. Don’t be sick my sweetie. I’ll be over soon to catch up. x

    Akela, I’m a bit proud of me too and it feels so nice. Thanks you so much. :)

    Belle, I may post my certificate, if I can get a good picture of it one my name is on it. I need to buy a posh pen or something. Biro looks so naff. :D

    I have to ask… at 50,050 (which is what your word count says on Bert’s page) are you finished with the whole novel or are you just satisfied that you pressed past 50,000?

    now I will go back. I am determined to hit 50,000 by tonight so I can go about tomorrow unfettered.
