Same for me, only not because of baby stuff. Pulled Muscle or possibly Trapped nerve in my neck continues to agonise. Can't move my right arm and shoulder. I feel slightly Davros-like when in my wheelie chair. Bedtime is very painful and miserable right now. This morning I have to endure through this pain and take Blaise to her massage group. Although I kinda feel like I need the massage more than her  ===KEN |

Layouts for pages 5-10 of story and some sketching done. Felt a bit out of sorts though so lay on the couch for a while.

Week 2 of diet readjustment. Lots of cravings for full-fat chocolate and crisps when I feel full up, which means I made the right decision.
Went to work. Did stuff.

Indeed. I even saw one random pack in a Tesco last Saturday.
In other news I have cracked how to write up part of Turn and Burn's Secret Thing and hope to get it done properly tomorrow evening.

Did stuff. -Ralph There's nothing quite like feeling clean after abstaining from junk stuff. Its a great feeling, but it takes some working up to. I need to feel that again too. ===KEN |

I managed to get a good part of Page 6 done tonight. Some callbacks to my favourite annual story EVER.
Very happy. Stopped to watch the Terry Pratchett documentary, not in the frame of mind to draw after that. Powerful stuff, I was in tears at a couple of points during it.

It's pretty heavy stuff. Still I applaud the BBC for commissioning it and airing it.

We're closing in on what will hopefully be the final phase of Operation: Birthday Present. The Excitement! The Tension!

If I count right there should be six pieces to it. He's going to be so disapointed after all this hype hehehehe. Still, only cost pennys. |

Andy I didn't catch the programme myself. My Will does contain very specific instructions on what is to be done should I find myself in a state of severely deteriorated health. I hope everyone here keeps their Will up to date! In other news, after enduring a 4-hour long presentation/meeting (I'm terrible at selling myself; I'd make a rubbish prostitute) I've won a year-long corporate "ghost" writing contract. It's 160,000 words spread over the year. But I am getting 8.5p per word and 50% payment up front. I'm going to be very busy. |

I don't have a will myself, because I hardly have any estate to leave behind. Unless a couple of pizza boxes and other bits of junk are really worth anything... It has got me thinking though, especially since I'm a parent now. Congrats on the contract, Graham. I'm sure you'll make a better ghostwriter than a 'lady of the night'. . Hope you'll get to write up TF stories in-between your busy schedule too. ===KEN |

I don't have a will either, but in the event of me popping off you're all summoned to help Liz sell off the contents of the loft, taking some choice pieces away yourselves.
Lovely day here in Swindon, and I feel fine./

I have a will. When you co-own property and stuff it behooves you to think about proper legal dispensation should anything happen to one.
It doesn't actually contain any codicils about persistent vegitative state or what not, but my next of kin are pretty aware of my feelings on the matter.
Now this is a heavy topic for a Tuesday lunchtime innit?

Even though I don't have a will, I have assurance that 50% of me will be roaming the Earth long after I am gone.
Not having a will however has made me ponder about worth as it were. Currentley jobless, don't 100% own any property, no real money in the back, no private pension, nowt. I feel socially pressured to fix that!
On a happier note, the reduced DotaMan TFs have surfaced in my local Tesco and I've got a truckload of reward points to spend... Picked up Ratchet today.

I do not have a will due to not being a man of money nor property nor with a family of my own. I have long felt there was little point in making a will until one or some of these factors change. I don't feel it's terribly important where my action figures go.
In other news, as part of my work today I had to be somewhere terribly serious where laughing could result in trouble. It's hard to keep composure though when the eyes are irresistibly drawn to the pigeon with the malevolent stare with its face smudged up against a window.

I think it's more a case of Liz wanting the loft empty and knowing you lot can shift it!
