Bonjour!
August 29, 2006I’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.
Blogsome uses Wordpress, so you should be able to use <!–nextpage–> for the pages. Just put that code in for each page break.
(I hope the code shows up right in my comment!) Glad to hear you had a good time on your trip!

That’s two dashes in my code up there, but it comes out looking like one long dash.

Many many many thanks, Shana! I appreciate it a great deal.

Hmmm…being of less-than-normal-chicken-nugget-IQ, I started a tester blog but the page number thing doesn’t appear to be working. Is there any specific place I am supposed to be placing ? I would appreciate the help.
Having looked on both the Wordpress and Blogsome sites, they say the same thing as Shana but I don’t know if I am doing it correctly.

Oh France! I’m so jealous! I have wanted to go there my whole life, and I’m finally getting the chance! I’m getting married in December and my fiance and I will be honeymooning in Paris for two weeks! Eeeeek, I just can’t wait to get over there and see all the art and architecture! I’m so excited! And I also can’t wait till you update again!

Thank you all, I’m actually blushing with pleasure right now.
I too am waiting for Glamour Life…I want it NOW! But my dear ol’ dad says it should be here by tomorrow, so fingers crossed. And I want Pets even more…roll on October!
Currently, I’m pondering over my birthday presents - aka I have no idea what to have! Hmmm…
