Time for a new specialism, methinks!

I am here, Small, as always! Nothing on our telly and no access to the DVD player, so I am making do with the computer.

I'm on useless phone which let's me watch 1:500 YT clips

how's half term been so far then? We have ILs coming on Friday so om top of being shattered from work overload I now have to change the bed linen and clean the house .

Well, Small, no half term here, schools are open as normal. They just finished two weeks half-year hols,and nothing more til summer apart from odd bank holidays.

So it's no use me putting some music on then if you're on the phone?

Oh dear Small!! Can't the ILs deal with an untidy house?

Half term is pretty exhausting for me - I am normally at work, so having a few days at home with the kids is a bit of a shock to the system. However I have some time to myself tomorrow morning.

Have you got anything planned, Phoenix, or are you just going to collapse?

No, ILs are tidy OCD types and have been known to tidy my house after I have spent hours cleaning it for them. Funnily enough they didn't pass the tidying gene to DH .

Music no good Massive, stills always a welcome distraction from RL.

I'm doing all the things I can't seem to get done when the kids are around...the cleaner is also coming so by the end of the day we should be in a much better state.

Still work for me too, YT is slow tonight. So who shall it be?
Lucas?
Mr Thornton?
JP?

If they are tidy types, and will tidy up anyway, then I say, let them do it!!!!

Oh, I forgot someone

Cleaner? Cleaner?!! . I want a cleaner!!!!!!!!

Can I have all of them Massive? It's been a hard week.

Oh, don't mention cleaning, I'm expecting house-guests in the not too distant future, and the house is gross I have got to get a firm in, I think.

Found a couple of Armitage related tracks in our CD collection today - one of them was the Propellerheads 'Take California' which is used over the opening titles of Episodes 5 and 6, so it's JP for me!!!

Regardez mon profil fier et noble

I perhaps should have said that it is used over the opening titles of SB Ep 5 and 6 - but I'm sure you all know that anyway!

Okay you can have them all, Small, as my week hasn't been too bad, but can I have Gizzy back soon, please?

Can't do that Phoenix, I have issues with that kind of thing. I blame my mother. Is there a therapist in the house?

Interesting screencaps there, not the usual shots, lovely all the same.

Sorry, Claude, I forgot you in the list of suspects. What a fine nose you have, just like the others. Funny, that.

was the other song I found in our CD collection! Yum!

Don't know about a therapist, but this doc would cure a rainyy day

Thanks Massive, even Gizzy is appealing to me atthe moment - things must be desperate! (joke!)

Oh yum indeed, Phoenix

I'll make a rich woman beg
And I'll make a good woman steal
I'll make an old woman blush
And I'll make a young girl squeal

Careful, Claude - you'll have someone's eye out with that.

Small, sorry you've been so crazy this week, work-wise. Do you work from home or have you had to go in this week and get childcare for the SmallBoys?

Lovely, smileuy, crinkly Lucas screencap there, Massive! Fabulous JP one too.

I have a Very Funny Thing to tell you all. I was watching Spooks 9.1 with DrTwiglets tonight. At one point Lucas says in a stern voice to Beth "you are coming with me and you are going to do exactly as I tell you". DrTwiglets looked at me and said "you realise he's talking to Beth there, not to you?" I was and all at once!

Poor Small, desperate times call for desperate measures, eh? (joke) Wish I could help out, as I am not at all busy this week.
