Swagger Inn - 72. Fuck off Christmas, bollocks to you New Year, it's the Series Two Countdown!

[IsawMommyFolknSantaClaus]

Woohoo!

Only those in need of hot beardy fuckers dressed in leather need enter.

Ayethengyoo.

I hope you manage to be kind to yourself once you've down all your necessaries.

Oops! How do that button just pop undone?

Today's washing will include Christmas pjs.
I reckon excluding that, two loads.

Who said it sounded like lots of prep what I do? Anyhow, no. I buy gingerbread house kits, or decorate your own biscuits. I do not bake.
I buy the reindeer food at the school Christmas fair. Tea light are lit then lft...

I still haven't watched it. Nice to know they go back to Athos house though eh?

Question; will I get the right horn Porthos -wise?

Porthos horn from the video? I guuueeessssssss?

Soz.

Anyways. Dairy Milk IS better than the £40 box of chocs How fucking disappointing. I knew it though. I am no good with posh chocs. So I now have probably £20 worth left that no-one will eat. Can't say how I came to have them without outing myself too much on here.

We are off out for biiiiiig Christmas Eve breakfast in a pub. Start as you mean to go on etc.

Must remember to get out my stocking s for Sant i a later.

Helen Do you know I actually hadn't bothered to count the lapels. I think I was a bit too busy in the nether regions. Anyway, I have decided that you lot can fuck about with lapels to your hearts content. I am settled on relieving him of his breeches now.

Elk You spotted that too. People keep saying other people are in this video but I cannot for the life of me see anyone other than Tom. Perhaps they are watching a different video.

Letus By all means have just dinner with Tom. Once you're done, Team Tom will take care of the rest of the evening.

Seriously though, I see where you are coming from.

Badders Are you actually out of bed now? Time to get stuff sorted so that a large man in a red suit can come down your chimney tonight.

I'm Up I'm up! :)
From room hoovered (thanks pine needles) Toilets cleaned, floors mopped.
Just need to make mince pies now and then wash dishes, then off the mums.
Listening to festive music to get me in the mood :)
Mum sounds very down. Sigh.

Ds2 is wearing his Santa hat.
Very cute.
:)

Morning wenches.

Seems I overdid things yesterday and I've come down with something horrible and snotty. With any luck it'll be sufficiently bad enough for me to miss my in laws shindig but not so awful it ruins Christmas day.

I am now just giving orders from the sofa and watching Christmas films all day.

Wishing all wenches and wench families a lovely Christmas eve. I should be here intermittently all day.

Sneaks into Tavern
Badders - I'm going to put some washing on....
Norah how could you not GetThePorthosHorn - he's sitting on the steps in full costume. Not a slip-on in sight
Carolina It's all in the detail - if you don't know how many lapels, then you don't know how many layers you get to unwrap - slowly and lavaciously, or just rip 'em off (anticipation is /everything/a good thing/in the way of the main event - delete as necessary)

Am being useless wife and not pulling weight (pretending to tidy spare room while MN-ing, raterh than actually helping) - back to RL

Morning wenches. Boys forced a Christmas Turkish breakfast this morning so utterly stuffed.

Need to wash, tidy etc ready and am working from home, so should prob switch on my laptop.

Helen...I rarely leave for RL. It has to be foisted upon me

Morning

What lovely Aramis pics to start my day. I'm feeling a bit better today although my sinuses hurt, hoping that the ibuprofen & wide open windows will soon sort that out.

Need to make a start on the cleaning now as parents (well DF & DSM) are due this afternoon.

Have a great day everyone

anne - is turkish delight actually from turkey?

Yes madame it is. I quite like it but would rather eat these

Wicked - hope you are enjoying your Christmas.

Kids just fighting over tidying and driving me up the wall so letting them sit down with a film whilst I do it all. Rod for own back etc but they are driving me mad.

Have RBNR the thread.

Sorry about your Mum Badders, it's difficult for all of you.

Hope Mouse and Fancy feel better soon.

Your Christmas Eve sounds lovely WW. Hope you're enjoying yourself.

So, today I have:
Done a final shop of stuff I forgot on Monday.
Watched video, oh God he's just so, so ....
Decorated Christmas cake with the "help" of DGS. I'm not entirely sure it's fit for human consumption but it looks very pretty.
Watched video, oh lordy...
Completed part two of trifle.
Now off to watch video again. It is an addiction isn't it? I'm so fecking excited for next Friday I could burst. God knows what state we'll be in by 10 o'clock.

Don't forget Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2 at 2 o'clock. Oh lordy, look at him, just look at him....

Oh elky you are always on My List.

Ooh they look nice anne what are they?

Happy wenchmas eve everybody.

Ive got a migraine feeling rubbish and incapable. Dp out doing his xmas shopping, which he's left to do in its entirety on xmas eve, as per his tradition. My mum is driving me mental and being no help. DSSs have gone to the library bless them.

Oh Madame :( what rotten luck. Hope you feel better soon.
Been to mums, been to cemetery. Mince pies made.
Am home now and ds1 is watching top gear. Oh how I loathe JC
Going to watch home alone later (tradition)
Must have a shower....

What is turkish delight? What's in it?

badders it's always hard missing loved ones at this time of year. Sending you lots of love and strength over the coming weeks . I'll think of your dad when I light the candles for my granddad and dps grandma.

Mr M is taking out the boys and I'm going to have a shower and put on my lovely new pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers and watch the Muppets Christmas Carol. It's not the same since I realised that FIL is a dead ringer for Michael Caine. 'Tisn't ok to fancy him anymore.

Thanks WW. Yes, it is hard. Someone hugged my mum in a shop this morning and said "what a kind and gentle man he was"
And he was.
I will light my dad's candle tomorrow. Thinking of those of you who are missing loved ones too x

Turkish delight is basically sugar with lemon or rose water flavour.
:)

Jesus fucking Christ. Mr M has misplaced his wallet.
I've just transferred a load of money over to him to buy a few bits and the complete fuckwit has lost it.

Of course it's in the house somewhere but he's going to turn my beautiful house upside down to find it, stomp about and blame everyone but himself.

I'm not helping him find it. It's his own stupid fault for not looking after his own stupid stuff.

And toddlermouse is upset because he's been waiting ages in his coat and scarf to go out.

My instinctive response is to call him a fucking fanny who can't look after his own stuff. I'm thinking that's not going to be helpful right now.

What a fucktrumpet!
Has he checked the top of the fridge?
