My Tiny Little Sims

I’m back from France!

We left off really early last Saturday - at 3am!  That turned out to be an unwise precaution, because we got to Poole at 8am but guess what? The ferry didn’t leave for St Malo till 2.30pm! Oy. I was grim anyway, and if I happened to post frowns on your blogs when I talked about it, that was because I am NOT a morning kind of girl. So sorry.

Anyway, we had a fun week. The place where we stayed - near Dinan in Brittany - had a particularly wonderful trampoline. Woohoo! My calfs were aching fit to drop off by Friday.  But we did everything we could think of in that week: visited Mont St Michel, went to a market at Dinan, visited seven churches and cathedrals, saw the bones of a Saint, ate loads of fries, had a BBQ, lost 20 Euros but found 50 on the floor, ate too much cheese, drank too much cheap wine (it really was horrid!), and I was even brave enough to sample that gourmet dish of snails. They were absolutely disgusting - but I ate mine (and my sister’s too) in a bet and my dear dad gave me 100 Euros.

May I also add that I learnt no French whatsoever apart from "Where is the Toilet, my good sir/madam?" And that I have now forgotten.

Anywho, about the Sims…while on holiday, I thought of a new story. And I liked it. A lot. So much so, in fact, that I decided to start writing it straight away! I spent five days scribbling down the basics and when I got home I typed it all up. Then I sat down and simmed for an age. So…I have the prologue neatly typed and I’m going through it. All I have to do next is Photoshop the pictures and that’s that. But…I don’t know how to create page numbers! Yes, I am the biggest dolt-head alive on this earth! But seriously, I really need to know how. The prologue would be wa-a-a-ay too long if I put it all in one post with no seperation. So I’m wondering: could somebody kind please tell me how to create page-numbers on a single post? I would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for commenting, too, it always cheers me up!

Have a nice week and I’ll see about the Prologue in a few days time.

Hey guys.

Just to say that I will be in France for a week, so no new posts or comments. I hope to update a little before my new computer arrives (mid-September, confound it! !).

Have a nice week!

Hi again!

Thank you to Shana, Jen, and Kara for their comments on my little Gamble. Because he was so flattered by the lovely comments, he decided to do a bit more posing for you all with his twin sister Jynx in tow.  

So first we have…

Gamble chewing his fingers!  I can’t stand the cuteness when he does that!

Here is Jynx (at last!) being all good-natured and smiling.

Jynx and Gamble squabbling over a bottle of…green…snot? Eww…anyway, Gamble started it - but who’d know with that puppy-dog expression?

This is the closest I could get them to making-up. I still like this picture.

As you can see, the house needs a bit of decorating. I was only expecting one baby, and they would be crammed in as it was. Oh well.

And one more photo, one that I adore. It’s basically the same as the previous, only I changed the camera angle. I took it so I could use it as decoration in their mother’s room, but had to show a close-up first.

Thank you and ta-ta!

Hi guys. It’s good to be back. I’m weak at the knees, jippy in the tum, coo-coo in the head (as always) and just plain happy to be back. Yep, this little guy is just like me at the moment.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been getting rid of some old data to make the swap to my new computer as easy as possible. Since my dad hasn’t been at work over the holiday, I still haven’t got the machine yet, though I should have by the end of summer, if not by my birthday in September. Exciting, eh? I can’t wait for Pets and Glamour Life, they ought to look excellent on my new computer.

To calm myself down, I started a new neighbourhood with a few new families. This isn’t a family update exactly, but I really wanted to show you my newest toddler. He was born in-game and I think he’s cute as a button. His twin sister (yep, just like the Doters!) is quite sweet too, but I didn’t have any good pictures of her, except when she was a baby. I’ll see about posting some soon.

So, without further ado, please meet little Gamble:

Aren’t I cute? C’mon, I’m cute aren’t I?

And good-natured too. I like loading my special toy train.

Need I say more?

And need I say more?

See you again,

Faithfully amalinaball.
