Swagger Inn Thread 69 - What could possibly go wrong she said?!

[CarolSinger200]

Oh well. Here goes!

this is as exciting as Saturday nights get these days. I've promised myself that I will getalife when babyElk is off the boob....there will be no extended BFing here!

My sympathies elk, I remember it well! I ended up bfing DD longer than planned for various reasons, but life would've been easier if she'd have taken a bottle on occasion.

Still no feckin trailer eh? Grrrrr.

Right I'm back and did my patented One glass of soda water per glass of wine. Had a touch of tiddly earlier but now totes fine. mr C also used the plan but with intermittent bitter. V smug all round.

Also v sweet that boys have set out mugs and bowls for us on two trays for the morning. Love em.

Alright wenches?
I was in London all day yesterday to see a show - Shakespeare in love On Stage...it was fab! :)
Am knackered now though.
Oh, and ds2 was fighting with ds1 and has broken his glasses.
That he has had for 2 months :(
Ffs.
My fil tried to glue them! Glue! So now I can't even take them back to be fixed because they have fucking glue all over one lens.
Just another job to add to the fucking pile for next week....
Still feel like crap.
Taking mum to church later for an advent service.
Don't want to go really but my sis and bro won't take her so...
Have RBNR I'm afraid.
Hope you are ok mouse?
Comtesse...hope the lock down goes well.
We can't put our decs up til the bloody carpet has been fitted :(
Dh away with work again next week too.
All in all I would quite like it to be next weekend already!

Badders - I really want to see that but my list is longer than my arm anyway.

Yesterday I did no reading or essay writing whatsoever. I do work best under pressure but it's getting a bit ridiculous now. It's due Tuesday and I am working Monday and Tuesday.

House = shit tip and loads of washing etc to be done.

All in all, today promises to be not a fun day.

ILYA and layers.

It's really worth it Anne...loved it.
God, so much washing.
Really should put some in.....

Morning wenches.

Hope the chickenpox isn't too bad Anne.

Can't offer any advice re duvets Drink except to agree with what everywench has said.

Enjoy your day Comtess. Big cwtch for Badders.

New washing machine arrives tomorrow. I shall think of you all when using it for the first time

I want Musketeers goshdarnit.

badvoc aaargh for you. especially for the helping FIL. I'm sure he's a lovely man but people that 'help' and shit on the issue to make it thousand times worse give me the rage . There's always a solution for everything with a bit of string, wire or glue.
"why don't you just tie it with a bit of a stirng here?"
"cause it will look SHIT!"

Morning all.

Glad you enjoyed your day badders, I've got a London trip in Jan which I'm looking forward to.

I hope your new washing machine fulfils all your hopes and dreams LetUs.

Right, laters lubbers. Stuff to do

Im Glad you get it drink :)
I was incandescent with rage last night! Seriously, properly pissed off.
Spoilt my lovely day really :(
So we now have to buy 2 new pairs of glasses - as he obv needs a spare pair (why didn't I think of that!!??)
Ffs.

How terribly helpful of him Badders . Is there no Specsavers near you or does DS have a not standard prescription that means he doesn't get free glasses?

Mavis re washing machine fulfilling all my hopes and dreams. I am now imagining it being delivered by the Musketeers. Hopefully when I'm in and not my mother.

Elk, did you get my e-mail about the DVD?

Going to phone tomorrow Letus but I think they only get 1 pair in the nhs?
Sigh

I feel your frustration Bads. Something is best left to the professionals

Feels the pain of basic and glasses.
Both of mine gave 2 pairs. Ds1 stood on ds2's the other day. Bad ds2 for leaving them on the floor. But I'm sure ds1 did it deliberately!!

Tree is up. But I feel totally unchristmassy and am sat here with all the other decorations, which I so don't want to put up.

Badvoc you get 2 on the nhs. You get 2. But you have to be forceful to get it.

Cheers ob.
I will phone tomorrow.
Am really cross about it.
Ds will now have no glasses for at least a week.
Grr.
I really don't need any more stuff to do next week tbh.
Don't feel Christmassy at all yet :(
Need to get Friday out of the way I think.
Think ds1 might be coming down with something...he is very croaky.
Oh, and ds2 has a cut near his eye where the glasses broke!
I really need to stop moaning at some point today :)
Here you go ladies....

Just had a look wicked and can't see an email from you. Was it just "don't forget to bring it with you you numpty?"

Morning wenches.

I'm still RTFT so will catch up. Today I need to decorate the tree and make festive, attack mount washmore, chase mini mintys to do homework and make three little stockings.

Currently I'm eating gingerbread in my pyjamas. It's going splendidly.

To help with the festive feel.

Minty - excellent plan. Please post gingerbread up to hayloft. Feel free to deliver it, but you really don't want the plague, so probably best just lob it up through the haydoor. Also, can I have a Fuzzy Tom?

Hi wenches. Thank you for being so nice to me. I'm feeling much better. Just had a bit of a shock.

I won't be able to post much today as taking the little mice to PILs and then I need to sort house out (standards have slipped whilst I've been laid low) and possibly squeeze in a run.

Hopefully, I'll be back this evening in time for the rewatch.

I've got the lurgy still Helen

Did you do that MrsMinton? Cos if so you need to tweet it

Probably not a good idea if it's not your work though...

No it's from a fan site. I'm too tired to be clever today!
