[SnowballRoastingOnAMusketeer]

Get your wench on

FML I'm too busy to be ill. FTFO random snuffly wobbly temperature up and down like yo-yo virus thingy. I have called in sick to BoringOfficeJob

Goes to examine latest pics which Comtess says are so inspiring...

I may be more ill than suspected. Or might just be the pictures

Hope you feel better Helen X
Very nice carol service. Couple of lovely solos were sung.
Am watching kirsties homemade Xmas on catch up. They are all fucking loons!
Its sort of making me fear for the human race, really.

Oh I have just guffawed my way through all the deadly-serious pages of boffing lists. Just hilaire. Mine's already been posted twice although Carols Tom may well have nudged Trev out of 3rd place. Rest assured if Newcastle Tom makes a reappearance, Trev you're back in.

The boffing lists are deadly serious!

Life'n'death stuff, those boffing lists.
Going to find some food and turn off Jeremy whassisfaceon the radio, which is onconveniently the other side of the room and I have to get out of bed to shut him up.

I keep ordering more Xmas gifts.
STOP ME!!

Thanks Helen
I am trying to get washing dry.

Bloody deliveries. Am sat waiting in for 2 of them & I really need to get to the shops as the light in the utility room has gone. The fucker.

I need a nice calm image to meditate on so I can chill out.
This'll do....

Bang...my delivery has just arrived from Amazon. Which is weird, because o ordered 2 of the the exact same thing on the same day and 1 arrived on Saturday!

But earlier I ordered ds2 a Spider-Man dress up outfit so I'm waiting for that now....

Well one has arrived

Aaawwww. DS is home from school. He has just come upstairs with a tub contining my lego musketeers and two lindor balls to cheer me up because I'm not feeling well.

When he is good, he is very very good...

Ah, bless him :)
He knows his mummy well :)

God, why can't it be Friday already!?

Aw that's sweet helen

Erm, because then I'd be royally screwed as I have stuff to do before then badders?!

Sodding second delivery still not here. How hard is it to give an approx time of arrival? I only need to go out for 30 mins, am or pm would be helpful.

Don't forget your mantra as well Fancy
"Thiiiiighs" with a nice long exhalation on the 'i'
while you wait? or maybe

The dc and I are all in our pjs on my bed and on our ipads
Last ever episode of peep show tonight. I've been doing a rewatch. So bloody funny.

Afternoon wenches. I've skimmed the thread, and there's only one man on my list and it's this one. DH took this lovely pic.

So, here's my report on the Carols. We met up with Carolina for lunch and chat and a giggle and then we made our way to the church. As we were too early we went into the pub over the road for a drink and more chat. We left the pub at 6.00 and went over the road to the church where about 40 Burketeers were already gathered. By this time last year Tom was already there, but it was raining heavily and he didn't appear. The doors opened at about 6.30 and we went in. The service started at 7.00 and Tom did his reading about half way through.

After the service he moved into the aisle and the Burketeers surrounded him. We decided to wait a bit for the crowd to thin out, but those who had had their photos and signings weren't moving out of the way so it was getting more and more packed. We were worried that he would have to leave so we just decided to push our way in.

It was at this point that Tom spotted DH and waved to him. DH waved back and Tom winked at me. He then sort of made his way towards us and said "You've got a train to catch, haven't you?" Bless his cotton socks, he didn't want me to miss out. He asked how I was and I asked him the same. I then asked him to sign my service booklet, which he did. Then DH took a photo and I moved back for Carolina to go forward. Sadly we didn't have a chance to get him on our own as we did last year as it was all a bit of a scrum.

So that was it really, we hung around for a bit, then hugged Carolina and left. He was still signing and having photos taken. He's so patient and calm, I can't imagine him ever getting into a panic. It was 1.00am when we got home and I felt horribly sick, probably from a combination of a rather bumpy train journey and not enough food/liquid. What with that and the fact that my brain wouldn't switch off, I didn't have much sleep, but that doesn't matter. We had a wonderful time and achieved our objective against rather fearsome odds.

Oh apes! Top wenching!
He seems such a lovely guy as well as being FAF

"And the burketeers surrounded him" Is anyone else having visions of Orpheus being torn apart by the Maenads? Heaven help the poor guy.

Right, I have to go participate in Real Life... by drinking a hot chocolate or something suitably comfort-food-ish

Fuck me Fancy but that first gif today is glorious. See my hand on his jacket pushing him up against the wall and him kind of thrusting back at me? That's how it actually happened. Lucky you posted those meditative pics as well or I may have stayed there all day.
Have this with my thanks.

Afternoon wenchi!

Apricot fantastic report!!!! So pleased you managed to see him. Brilliant. And give Mr Apricot a cwtch from Team Tom for being there to catch Tom's eye . Lovely xxx

Wenches. I've had a naughty afternoon.

Had a half day today to attend the hospice nativity. Wonderful but dreadfully sad obviously. Came home properly exhausted, all blotchy and looking shit.

Mr C working from home.....

Have ended up having fairly major shagfest all over house, including in the office, kitchen and utility room . I blame a mix of Christmas, fragility of life, and the fact I've been on the horn since NewTomBurke pics the other night. Now just nonchalantly cooking tea for when all boys get back.

It felt good.

Evening fuckersz.
Contrary to popular belief I didn't burst into flames as I entered the local church for a Xmas thingy. Result!

Still, not long now until everyone is off for Xmas which will be nice.
