Swagger Inn Thread 109. The Back to School & Back to Wenching Thread

[SparklesRedHotChileLeather]

It's a new term so early to bed for the little darlings & back to the Muskeperving for us wenches. New pupils always welcome if you are taking Musketeers A-Level. You 4 new boys in leather can come & sit at the front where I can keep an eye on you And no guns in class. Now FOCUS you lot.

Morning. Feeling sick. Because jet lag, 1st day back at work & without office manager who'd been there 25 years & basically could do anything everyone else not he staff couldn't, and also DS3 is so v v nervous

Be back later cos I'm joining in with good hair/bad hair. But mine may have a good hair bias.

Also autumn clothes commentary to follow.

So we will be stuffing our faces in Bath, at Blenheim Palace and on tour in the Cotswolds and probably in Oxford as well

Morning wenches. Bit behind this morning.

Snogs and squidges to all and good wishes to DC going to school and wenches going to work.

Here's angry Aramis ready to take on the day with you.

Laterz

Sounds delicious Wicked

Awww is he starting secondary today sparkle? Lots of luck to him!

Morning wenches, first day back. Running sort of late. DC not in so just me to get out.

Have good days all. Good luck to starting back DCs.

Good luck to all mini wenches on their start backs.
Ditto for all wenches going back to work.
My back is killing me :(

Morning, DS back to school today - he went in early to 'catch up with some friends' and didn't actually need dragging out of bed.

madame - beard was the one thank you. There are indeed no words

ww sounds like a fab holiday!

hope you're feeling better soon sparks & that work is ok. Poor DS3, fingers crossed he has a good day - it was us this time last year & I remember the nerves (think I was more nervous than DD )

Have some good beard to soothe nerves

What's up with your back badders?

Cake, scones and historic buildings, it's like a dream come true

wifey

Morning wenches

Was the beard with the Christmas baubles real?

Good luck to everyone's DCs. Madame hope you hear about the interview soon

Autumn clothes - all I seem to have is skinnies and breton tops too, although I am still wearing my linen jersey vests from the summer but with a cardie. I don't want to shop, am losing weight because my gallbladder is playing funny buggers and I need to be thinner.

Badds for the back.

Hope your first day back is ok MintyEva

I have a herniated disc.
It's making its presence felt today.

This is how I will look after my vacation

Wraps Badders in cotton wool and put on shelf with Floppers

DS has been dispatched into to school, whining. I finished sewing labels into clothes at 8:30 this morning (when he was born I kept on top of the washing up on the basis that as long as that was done, I could pretend I was vaguely in control of things still. I sew labels into his clothes on the basis that then I can pretend I'm a good and organised mother.) I also sprayed his new school shoes with waterproofing spray and parts of his new black shoes are a suspiciously sparkly silver. FML. Hopefully that will wear off. I told DH I ought to polish them first, but no, he said I didn't need to. Will follow my instincts in future...

I'm spoiling for a cold, it's just getting irritating now.

My DF had his gallbladder out some years ago Ali, and had to follow a no/low fat diet for a few (?) months prior to the op. That was fun over Christmas, not.

I had my gb out 2 years ago after a horrid attack where I had a stone stuck in the entrance of the bile duct.
Get it out is my advice.
I am watching the ascent of woman on iplayer. It's Excellent.
The is a definate whiff of gas from my (3 year old) boiler. So boiler chap coming out tomorrow.

I have done fuck all today wenches!
2 loads washed and dried but that's it.
So I've made some shortbread in shame :)
Dh is away next weekend for a week :(
Got to do the grocery shop tomorrow morning then be back for boiler man.
I might try a bath for my back.

Afternoon, i'm feeling a bit more energised now the DC are nearly back at school. Two loads of washing done, bathrooms cleaned, house tidied, groceries delivered & packed away & one bumblebee and one dragonfly rescued. Although it still looks touch & go for the latter .

Am going to reward myself with some internet faffing for a bit before cracking on with the chores again.

badders, hope the bath eases your back

Hi all. Sorry not rtft. Also for long absence.

Hooray back to wenching! Actually a bit sad about back to school as I have had really great time in hols (ducks bread rolls/ worse from wenches who have had a crap time).

Have been wall climbing for first time and also did one of those go ape things. Also got o go to hever castle, where j have long wanted to visit.

Had first sexy santi dream the other day (why did it take so long?). Was having dinner out with extended family and Howie and Santi were there. I was sitting next to Howie with Santi on other side of him. For some reason George Clooney was at other end of table and in dream there was a good reason for this. When Howie went to the loo , had a discussion with Santi about the incredibly chemistry between us and how we couldn't possibly resist it. Then copped off to some kind of cupboard (not cardinal's sex cupboard though). Did manage some time in cupboard before I woke up, which is unusual for sexy dreams....

Badds I hope the bath helps - step-FIL had the same with his back and used to swear by lying down flat on his stomach on the floor.

Towel wash done, online shop done, whole house tidied, dinner cooked.

PMT here, with accompanying migraine and general yuckness. And now I have to take the DS's to the dentist.

I am planning a full rewatch starting next week when DS2 starts school - probably only a couple of episodes a week - but my watching of season two was seriously disjointed and I feel like I've lost the thread.

Afternoon

Welcome back morelike, glad to hear your had good hols, although totally about the dream. Scroll back to Monday evening, about 7pm for a Team A challenge. It's well worth it!

Hope you're feeling better soon ali - youe suggestion of lying on your stomach caused a wry chuckle here - can't lie on my front without it really hurting my back when I get up, as I cannot lie flat!

Yeah....lying on my stomach ain't gonna happen here :)
We just had freezer surprise tea and am doing soufle and ice cream for Dh and I.
