Morning wenches. I have no internet access at all on my holiday. Today it's rainy so we've come to biggertownwithcreamteasand3G so I'm just saying hi.

Hi minty! Have a cream tea for me please.

I seemed to have skipped 24 goes in the tav. Have RBNRM other than;
Yay for no minibads op
Loads of FAF pictures
A knackered helen
Crappy news for madame...how's the job going?
elk getting increasingly wet

Day 2 of the hostage situation half term here. Both DC had a sleepover last night so they're now playing a thrilling game of 'How much can I wind up my sibling before mummy liars her shit'. DS is currently winning. FHT

OMC (ylt)
Hi minty!

Ok I finally found that damned key in my knickers time to be grown up and share have fully had my fill--

I have endured HobbyCraft - that is all that can be said ......

Oh and DH has announced he is coming home early - aaarrrggghhhh

Tart you have my utmost sympathy....and not only have you had to endure what can only be described as a traumatic experience, you now have the torment of picking up tiny pom poms from the corners of every room, the scraping glitter glue off the table, the discovering foam shapes in the cereal and finding the most suitably enthusiastic epithet to match the joy on your child's face when they present you with their lovingly created masterpiece, before marrying up the argument between your conscience and your sanity over how long you can tolerate it sitting on the worktop before you sneak it stealthily into the bin. They won't notice surely????....it's been two weeks...oh yes I'm afraid they bloody will.

I hate craft

elk, can you stand on a towel or something, you're leaving puddles everywhere?

My heartfelt sympathies tart, craft is hell. Mine are too old now (thankfully), although DS frequently fashions cardboard boxes into cat castles

Mum had a "boiler emergency" so been sorting that out.
Engineer on the way.
Ds2 doesn't like the Halloween haribo I got him this morning. Shame. Now I will have to eat them all.....mwahahahahaha
Have a bad feeling mum may need a new boiler, which will somehow be my fault :(
i wrapped all the kids Xmas gifts this afternoon. Only took me 1.5 hours I'm not good at wrapping . I get covered in sellotape and swear a lot.
Dh will go spare when he sees that I've got them new Nerf guns :)

Glad mini bads doesn't need op.
Hope knackered Helene is ok.
Hope Madame copes with the not smoking whilst mum comes to save childcare.

Liking all the wet, dripping, soaked etc Athos and Aramis.

Oh FFS

I just typed a long post and it didn't post and has vanished.

Summary: DS and I had a fun day out and now we're back. He's on minecraft, I'm supposed to be working - though I did just have a phone call and accepted another project because I was promised it was a tiny little one that I'd hardly notice. .

Sympathies re crafting, I feel exactly the same as Elk (well done on the Athos pics *Elk)
and re. Badders Xmas preps

Hope Minty is having a nice holiday and Madame has got on ok at work this afternoon after DM arrived - assuming you got in?

Herewith, more decorations

Just RTFT. Yep, all the wet is very apt cough

I'm about to make an offer Fluff that is a once-in-a-lifetime, probs never to be repeated deal. In thanks for erm.....services rendered bedtime reading So tomorrow is Wednesday but I am prepared to hand over Monsieur Aramis for three hours in the afternoon while I spend it in the company of a certain Mr Bond. What say you?

Sigh.
Got parents evening letters.
Ds2 in weds, ds1 on Thursday.
Xmas play, nativity dates....I'm feeling festive! not

OMFG!!!! Yes yes yes!!!! I love you so much Sparkles. Ok, I'm pleased, right? OMFG!!!! YES, YES, YES!!

Patagonia ep2 mp3 will shortly finish uploading

Thank you for craft sympathy - I have a love hate relationship with it...

Just ha d blazing row with DH so am starting the wine soon--

Sparkles are generous beyond a fault and would imagine that fluff has fainted in her belini ....

For my sanity - can Dog be my Mr Bond tonight .... I need to be shaken and stirred

Yep bellini face-plant.

Tart you deserve it after all that craft hell you've been through today.

.... Into belly button?

That will be on Wednesday afternoon, obvs

Sanity restored having inhaled drunk a glass or two of wine ......
