Work has been fairly good lately, had an unusual cluster of book orders which was nice, even sold out of a couple of titles (not my own).

Publisher made a big mistake on my vaccination book - I was in the middle of proof reading it while Andy's dad was in hospital etc and the publisher asked me to email him with any corrections. I did so, but only after Andy's dad died. The publisher forgot what we'd said so he went and sent the draft version to the press by mistake and I had to stop him. He was very apologetic but the press are going to charge him now; he'd better not expect me to pay for it.

Anyway, the vaccination book has an ISBN number now! 1-59344-137-1.

I went to the bank today and banked my wages for the magazine article and I went to the antique shop and flogged these old antiques I've got which are valuable. The lady was only going to pay me £60 for them (about $100) but I said no and that I wanted more so she plea bargained and I managed to get a bit extra I've now used the extra income to pay for my Christmas holiday this year, so I am well pleased

Andy is coming round later as I asked him to have DD4 tonight (I'm going to the clinic really early tomorrow morning). I'll write an update on that later.

Jo.
