Swagger Inn Thread 107 : Wenches All on a Summer Holiday

[Cinnamoncookie]

Here are some hot Musketeers

Gracias ratoncita!

Morning. Welcome back Helen, have you had a good week? Safe (and quiet) travels Madame and all other wenches who are setting off this weekend.

DC didn't wake until 8am this morning. Result. Then DH took them for breakfast so I'm just up. Think Tues is going to be a bit of a shock to their little systems .

Scottish Labour announce their new leader later today. Hope it's Kezia Dugdale. 8 leaders in 15 years they have had .

Right, coffee time.

Morning

helen! Lovely to see you & hope you're enjoying your holiday.

madame, have a good trip if I don't see you in here before you go

In readiness for tomorrow's rewatch

Hey, wenches who believe in astrology!!!

From The Telegraph, apparently.

Well I've started my xmas shopping!
Dh now has the best of new order CD and care share dvd :)
Dc both have a nerf bullet pouch thing (£12.99 from Amazon, £2 from john lewis sale!)
Already got ds2s b day gifts (half price from Amazon and John lewis)
Feeling very thrifty! :)

Ooh is it the best of new order or substance? Or the most recent greatest hits compilation?

I already have some stuff set aside for Christmas and have preordered Mr M's thing. I'd be further ahead had the mice not found my present hiding spot and raided it

Arf at madames pic.

It's best of. He will love it!
No idea what to get dc this year...lego for ds2 I guess

I cant believe your organisational skills bads and mouse. Stuff doesnt get done in my life until approx one week before at the very best...

Ooh nice.

I think I'm gonna go with imaginext batman for the big one and lego duplo for the small one. They'll probably play with each other's anyway. And minions of course for the stocking. They seem to do better with fewer things on the day, less overwhelming.

Bloody hell you organised lot

Yeah...we tend to split the gift giving or its too much
So a few on xmas eve (usually from pils and sil)
Then the rest on xmas day.
Madame...I'm only organised because I have to budget quite carefully.
I'm in work today and I feel like shit :( bleeding very heavily again so am taking tablets that the Dr gave me on hols.
Will dose up on painkillers killers before I go.
Of all weekends to start work...dh away and period from hell :(

Did you vote in the labour leadership bads? P got his papers today. mrsb I dont know who that is, is she good?

That's unlucky badders. Mind you, if you can get through it you'll know you can really cope well . Have a little of

Not yet but had a text to say they are on the way.
Yes fancy that's true!

Oh wifey, that's terrible! That's one of the good things with working from home. Here, have some and [Athos] for tonight!

I took s little trip in to Uppsala today, haven't been there for ages because of cough etc. Was really pleasant, nice weather and shopped some things. Then food shopping at the big supermarket, and I have to say I enjoy food shopping, maybe because I can do it in peace and quiet
Chilling on the couch at the moment but I'll start cleaning in a bit because my home looks like shit!
I'm getting some of my energy back now which feels good

Hope all wenches is having a fab day

Good to hear you're getting some energy back ww. I've deep cleaned my front room today - so much cat hair

We have made star wars cup cakes today
Washed One load and got it dry and tidied kitchen
That's all I'm up to today :(

Ah yes, the cat hair

That's a respectable amount done badders, no need to feel guilty for not doing more when you feel rough.

Bads how is work otherwise? What do you get to do? Are they nice? Do I need to "talk to them?

I'm stopping the hrt.
I think that's the issue :(
It's my first proper shift wicked which is why I'm a bit nervous. Not much any training and I feel like crap :(
Oh well. The people seem nice.

Sorry, I thought you already been to work. Good luck. You will be fab as always

Watching a documentary about Claridges, it's like another universe

She got in Madame with 72%. Am pleased. I like her, she's younger (33) and comes across very well. She's been covering First Ministers Questions for the last year and knows her stuff and so far seems to match me policy wise. Plus I like the fact that up here the leaders of all 3 parties are all women, both from a feminist standpoint and also because it just seems to run nicer. During the tennis last year they were all tweeting each other about watching Andy Murray playing and who was supplying the pimms in whose office etc. just can't see that happening in Westminster.

Anyhow, hopefully the start of turn around for Labour up here. But they have a very long way to go, probably will get wiped out in the Scottish Parliament elections too next year

Hope work goes ok Bads and pleased you are feeling bit better WW. And can all wenches who have started Christmas shopping feck off, in the nicest possible way of course.

They sound quite wenchy mrsb
