Swagger Inn Thread 101 - we're out & we're proud of our love for The Musketeers

[SparklesRedHotChileLeather]

So, we have passed our 100,000 posts of Musketeer-related musings & as befits such an achievement, we got our shout-out on Twitter from Jess Pope Any lurkers out there, come on in & state your boffing order.

In the spirit of celebration, I am also imposing the rule that everywench's first post in here has to be accompanied by a pretty Musketeers pic. Don't let me down now mis wenchitas.

Wow that's fantastic news anne.

I'm ready to go back to bed. The boys are being arsey. Well Tm is ok. Bm got out of bed on the wrong side and has been awful. Shouty, clingy, whiney. And made an attempt at escape but was thwarted by the asda man. I've managed to put the groceries away, do a wash, hoover and do many jigsaws and lego.

They've had a light snack whilst I was putting away the groceries. Yoghurt, fruit and biscuits. And BM has forgotten what a spoon is and ate with his hands and covered everything, me, him, the chair in fromage frais.

Seriously, they eat like rugby players. Both had two bowls of weetabix and then had their snacks about 20 minutes ago. Someone reassure me that's ok? Neither of them put on weight. Where does it actually go?!? Apart from out of my purse and into their nappies.

for mouse and a hose to clean up. But nothing of any practical help - sorry.

I'm not here but to everywench

Also H(ish)BF with ponytail/man bun at school this morning. Nearly didn't bother with work

We go on Sunday Helen, looking forward to it. Lots to do before then!!

Promised children a McDonalds for school reports and prizes so I suppose we'd better do that tomorrow.

Who asked about plants? I'm good with flowers, keep thinking I'm going to move house soon so I grow lots of flowers from seeds (because they're cheap). Gives a very colourful garden but I'm itching to buy more trees and shrubs but no point as I wouldn't be able to take them with me.

Sorry about my paranoid middle of the night outburst! , It was the last, randomly inserted comments about Venice that had me reaching for the tin foil hat. But I've given myself a slap, and all is well again.

Good god Madame what a dreadful experience you had, It's hard to belieeeeve they are SO unenlightened. Extraordinary. It reminds me of a FB campaign a while ago to support a Spanish woman who was arrested for breastfeeding her child in public because the child was deemed to old, i.e. somewhere between 1 and 2 , The mother was accused of paedophilia and the child was taken away. It was months before she was returned. Awful.

So many of us have had a rough time producing children, I had no idea. Well done us for coming out the other side with such fabulous SOH and untapped capacity for perving.

for the whole house...

HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW PIC OF TOM ON TWITTER????

My story's v boring. 3 easily-conceived babies, 0 other pregnancies, 3 straightforward births. Only things of note were that DS1 was 5 weeks early so some health problems as a baby & the fact that all 3 were delivered by my little sister

Sparks, that's not boring, that's great...remember non-competitiveness works both ways; you shouldn't feel boring or guilty for having a simple experience. I too fell pregnant fairly easily, pregnancies were ok, just had massive DC so section needed (which I of course feel a failure for...) I think this has just brought home to us how different we all are but still have a shared love for all things HBF.

That's what I love about the tav and my wenches, the non judgemental attitude. I never wanted kids, I remember people being horrified by that when I was younger but it's more acceptable these days at least in bigger cities. I've been asked "but what if you regret it when you're older"? Well I'm almost 44 and no regrets so far
And some have lots of kids and some none so I think it evens out in the end

Both British very easy...6 pushes and out they popped
My sis had 2 sections.

It a lottery, is all.
Mouse...."out of my purse and into their nappy" made me properly lol.
New pic of Tom on Twitter is so hot it's give.Me the fanny gallops.

ME TOO BADS!!!!!!!

PINGPINGPINGPINGPINGPING!!!! WENCH MOJO ON FULL ALERT!!!!!

Great news Anne.

Twitter Athos pic.

Also pic of new girl called Sylvie. I assume he's looking at her. JP says "This may mean something ... or not".

Afternoon wenches! Reading your stories made me well up a bit - and MrsB is spot on - no judging in the Tavern, except for judging the sexiness of various HBFs of course
It's what makes it such an awesome place that and the dungeon

I luffs my wenches

Blimey tavs quiet this afternoon.

I do like that we've taken the musketeer motto to heart in here: 'All for one, and one for all'

Have decided not to go to the summer fayre tonight. I can barely tolerate my own kids today, let alone everyone else's en masse. Hyped up on lemonade and tombolas

I went
I ate 3 butterfly cakes, bought a raffle ticket, didn't win on the tombola and got ds hopped up to the eyeballs on ice cream and haribo.
He has swimming later so that'll be fun.

You're a braver woman than me badders

Afternoon. We are indeed proof that lusting over HBFs is a recipe for world peace. Just so long as no-one tries to cheat the rota, or say Athos looks like Keith Lemon

badders you are a brave lady, but swimming afterwards should at least use up some of the energy, clever wench.

mouse, discretion is the better part of valour & all that. I personally love a sweary mouse rant, you have a beautiful way with words, but I fear a pre-school fair would be an unreceptive setting for you.

badders

mouse don't blame you in the slightlest! Have some

I went with DrIssy to the lunchtime picnic during Sports Day for ds1 today (held at local secondary school) but didn't stay on for the afternoon races to which parents were invited. I pleaded a prior meeting which didn't exist At least DrIssy actually had meetings he couldn't get out of so he gets to polish his halo. Actually I think ds1 was more interested in us turning up for food han watching him run about not winning things

Badders don't be surprised if he goes at record speed tonight, with all that sugar

or pukes in the pool

Aahh thanks fancy I think that was a compliment, of sorts. True my talents are wasted on a preschool fair. I really should go into public speaking. Or politics.

for all the shirking wenches. And just cos it's Friday.

Ooh yes - the wench party!

Ds1 told me I should be politician.
I told him I would make Stalin look like Mr bean
