The Robbing Butcher - Bemused by the Patio at FrogMhor Cottage

999 replies

TheMustressMhor · 08/02/2020 10:58

What next for the Robbing Butcher?

Will he wander past Mhor Cottage several times a day so that he can keep an eye on the progress of the patio?

Will Mr. Mhor's measurements turn out to be wrong? And will Mustress Mhor and her DH have too many SLABS as a result?

If they do, what will they do with them?

Will the eggs be dippy tomorrow?

I have made two important decisions this evening:

  1. to hide the M & H threads

and

  1. to cut my head off. At least then I won't have this earache any longer.

@TheMustressMhor , probably a good choice , hiding threads I mean .not cutting your head off obviously! 🙂.
Ear still giving you grief?
Nothing really helps , sometimes these are worth a try,
1 hot water bottle or pad on ear
2 cotton wool in ear (if you can stand the squeak!)
3 drink so much your to pissed to notice! (Side affects involve headache tomorrow)😉

GracefulHippo · 27/02/2020 22:10

Oh Mustress, I am so sorry your ear isn’t better. Are you going back to the doctor? It doesn’t sound like the drops are working?

Re 1), I would understand, but would miss you on the threads Sad

I had a rubbish start of the day (sleepless night due to little Hippo, early morning), followed by builders drilling two holes in the ceiling (long story, are renovating) with massive resulting mess.

But Mr Hippo is back this evening. Am so happy he is here. We had some wine and watched rubbish TV. Am actually thriving Smile.

ilovejeffgoldblum · 27/02/2020 22:11

Absolute yes of course... it's me ! 👋 😃

TheMustressMhor · 27/02/2020 22:13

jeff you always give such excellent advice.

I don't think I can cope with the idea of a hangover on top of this pain.

I just don't know why it hurts so much in the evenings.

I know! I shall start a thread and find out.

Nice hippo , wine and husband , not the other things obviously,
I'm trying to have wine free evening and go to bed early, temptation .. is a terrible thing !
And I've eaten two fry's creme chocolate bars!
😐

ilovejeffgoldblum · 27/02/2020 22:16

Careful mustress remember the egg thread!
I'm not sure about evening? 🤔
I get fluid which builds up when I lie down at night , clears mid morning, gone early evening then repeats 😡

ilovejeffgoldblum · 27/02/2020 22:23

Anyhoo, I'm off to bed , so I can stare at the ceiling , feeling I've made the effort and benefit of an early night ! 😐 👋

TheMustressMhor · 27/02/2020 22:27

Goodnight, jeff.

The thing about the fluid might be the answer.

Despite your advice, I have started a thread. I hope nobody calls Mr. Mhor a cunt on this one.

Hope you feel a bit better this morning Mustress

Cuttingthegrass · 28/02/2020 07:54

MustressMhor do you still have your head?

Did you get any advice that worked on your thread?

Maybe a copper tiara would work. I’ve heard copper has anti viral properties... some scientist on the radio talking about best surfaces where viruses die quicker

7Worfs · 28/02/2020 09:30

Morning. Sending positive energy, Mustress.

I’m giving notice today, woop.
Every time I change jobs I get into a reflective mood.

ilovejeffgoldblum · 28/02/2020 10:11

Morning all 👋, well early night was crap!
Couldn't sleep , took no wine last night felt shitter this morning! , got cross with dd for banging her bed made her cry ( am awful mum)
Clearly I'm not a morning person! 😡

GracefulHippo · 28/02/2020 10:27

Morning all, having SO much to do today (and the weekend) and just cancelled the Pilates class I was hoping to attend (waistline is expanding), but still so happy to have Mr Hippo back. We have been married for almost 12 years, but I still miss him so much when he goes away for days with work Blush.

TheMustressMhor · 28/02/2020 10:54

Morning all.

I did get some good advice on the "cutting off own head" thread.

I enabled the voting (to see what people would do) and 84% of posters voted YANBU (to cut off your own head).

So there we have it.

Actually, quite a few people remarked that GPs are not very good with ear pain.

Two of the Mhor DC are on their way to see us. We've booked lunch at l'hotel tres expensif for a birthday treat on Sunday.

They will be in a bad mood when they arrive this afternoon. DD got them some last-minute cheapo train fare but they had to leave Euston at 5 a.m.

Mr. Mhor is cooking us a late breakfast as I type this.

I shall report on the egg later.

Hippo Mr. Mhor and I have been together for a vair long time indeed and still miss one another when apart.

OP posts:
ilovejeffgoldblum · 28/02/2020 11:03

Indeed ! Mrjeff and I have been married 23 years! (We lived together first too!)
I get sad and down every time he goes away !
Which is a Shame as he works away and has done since we met Smile

ilovejeffgoldblum · 28/02/2020 11:11

Need someone to motivate me into motion , need to fold laundry, just sat on ass mnetting!
My get up and go , has got up and left!Smile

theLadyofShallnot · 28/02/2020 11:12

Hello. I am here under my other guise.

Hopefully the Mhorbairns are well on their way and are having a stress free journey Mustress. Good luck with the ear appt - if they can’t heal you instantly I hope they give you something heavy enough to deal with the pain 🤕

Hiding the HAM has improved my humour somewhat Wink

I love food and so would love to know what you ate at hotel expensivo!

And you are not the only one who is not a morning person Jeff Blush
A little bit of tears doesn’t mean you’ve dipped on your mumming - and extra emotions are sometimes better released Smile. I’m not human unless I’ve been away for at least an hour 3 really but who is counting I’m convinced I’m part owl...

Me? After another hideous night so I’m away out to chill with my sister’s hairy ball of harris for a few hours. We are away to visit the other bit of the river today.

And this evening I will be mostly tanning Baileys. Because I can xxx

ilovejeffgoldblum · 28/02/2020 11:16

I'll admit to little bit of ham this morning!
But it's very circular! So I'm sticking to square sausage from now on! 😃

ilovejeffgoldblum · 28/02/2020 11:17

Sorry lady ! Blush, I'd make a crap spy 🕵️‍♀️!

theLadyofShallnot · 28/02/2020 11:19

Square sausage? Bless ye!

I had toast. Which had a surprisingly delicate corner bitten off it when I went to get a brew. I say corner. It was about 3/4 of it but at least she didn’t take it all...

theLadyofShallnot · 28/02/2020 11:19

Taps nose. Moves on 🧐
