Swagger Inn Thread 120 - IT'S CHRIIIIIIIIIISTMAS!!!!!

[ChevreuseRoastedByAnOpenFire]

Feliz navidad! Come play Musketeer-festive namechange roulette with a group of women who like to talk a lot about men's thighs!!! Among other parts.

Watching one of the interminable hobbit films with ds. Wtaf?? This wasnt all in the book was it? Did they just make loads up to spin three films out of it?

fancy we only have the DNs one night, poss two. Then the dss's are going home on nye.

comtesse oooooh did they mention the towers of thing in The Library episodes? Must try to watch those again, theyre possibly my fave dw episodes ever. They are so clever, they must plan the storylines so far ahead. Eg I loved the way river song's name came from "melody pond."

I'm about to start watching And Then There Was No Towel.

Did ep 1 earlier. I'm sorry Santi, if you don't frigging post to IG for 3 fucking weeks this is what happens.

ATTWNT sparks

I was giving badders the countdown then too comtess . I've not watched Homeland yet either, have been preoccupied with all the old films on lately, hoping to catch up tomorrow.

And Then There Was No Towel - I fucking wish

Hopefully all the children will entertain themselves madame

evening all.

Am in midst of predeicted frenzy of packing/paperwork/working

And now having panic attack caused by relative in ForeignParts telling us to 'take extra care' on 'notorious' road. WHICH road, WHY notorious??!! FML [Confused] I think we're not stopping at red lights. FML

Why can't I have relatives in hot sunny crime-free places? Why?

Morning everyone.

Morning wenches.

Sparks

Off to work today. Such fun. Have super days wenches.

Cross-post with you there Obs. Morning!

Hang on, it's Tuesday isn't it?

Morning.
Well.
Weird dreams ahoy last night!
First I dreamt I was pg and then I dreamt I had my gallbaldder out - again.
WHY don't I get pervy musky dreams?
I aim to be out of bed before 10 today. People to see, stuff to do.
Laters

Morning, it is indeed Tuesday letus, which will confuse me as I spent a good part of yesterday thinking it was Tuesday

AT doesn't seem to be doing much for our dreams does he badders?

How are things going this morning helen? Tickets, money, passport........

MAPS! Fancy MAPS! (and TicketMoneyPassport) all safely installed in blue folder of essentialness. Most clothes are now packed, just need to finish up as much work as poss.

Have also had calming email from different relative - there are no new problems, just the usual 'Be alert in foreign parts' stuff. I can stand down my armed escort of musketeers (I wish - I wouldn't be standing them down if I had them)

But we can't check in for the flight because 'there is a problem with this flight'

Cue DH - "It's been cancelled... arghhhhhhh..." Who was it in Dad's army that was all doom and gloom all the time? FFS, even if he's right, there's nothing we can do about it, so no point stressing at this point in time.

DONT LEAVE WITHOUT WIFI HELEN!!!!

Glad LetUs and Dog pointed out it was Tuesday. This Christmas holidays, I've had no idea what day of the week it was, for about 4 days. Ds1 asked if it was Thursday. I said I thought it was Friday. Turned out, it was Sunday. Wierd.

Does this happen to you, in the Christmas holidays?

Suspects Aramis wenches STILL know when it's THEIR Rota night!

I also have no idea what day of the week it is.

Madame we go tonight (3am - bleurgh) to the RelativesWithNoWiFi then the RelativesWithWiFi then WhoKnowsWhatWiFiThereIs

Helen: spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch.

Nope obs, I have no fucking clue what day it is atm!

Had a great time with the boys actually mostly young men last night playing a board game which was an inspired xmas gift from dp to his bil. Takes a while to get into but is a really good laugh. Involves lots of lying.

Then we went to bed and they drank cider and played playstation till the wee small hours.

They are going out in london tahhhhn today so I need to use the time to get shit organised with the house. Photographer from estate agent coming next week, errrrrp!!!!

Here's helen preparing for the off.

That sounds like a worrying lack of wifi to me helen!

It is a worry lack of WiFi Madame. I will be twitching away and gnawing my own fingers off in anxiety.

And it will actually probably be very good for me us as a family to not have me glued to t'internet all the time. (Anticipates planning to have quality family time, only to find DS glued to table and DH glued to Kindle )

Right, I need to finish packing, AbFab style. No good saying I'm nearly finished. I need to be actually finished.

maps, of course! Hope packing is now finished and that you can check in soon helen

Sounds like a lovely evening madame

I've been mightily confused over what day it is too obs, and yes, it is only the existence of the rota that really helps!

DS glued to table helen?
A tad extreme perhaps?

My ds is glued to the table atm. Doing star wars lego.

Yes, he'd probably prefer to be glued to the tableT Lord knows he's spent enough time on it today. Currenlty watching Captain America while I wrap post-xmas parcel for a friend. And wonder what I haven't packed yet. We seem alarmingly organised. Something must be missing.

Ooh Helen let's go through all the stuff I forgot to take to Oz;

Insect repellent
Earphones
Enough books for the flight
Nail file/clippers
Addresses for postcards
Power bank thing for charging your phone
Car adapter thing for phone charger

Any good??

In case you aren't on later, I hope you have a safe and easy journey and a super time away xxxxx
