[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.

He is feeling decidedly chilly and needs warming up fo sho.

I'm running a bath. Handy.

A hot bath is just what is needed I'm sure, for both of you sparks

Yay madame, you must be soooo happy to be home

comtess! Happy New Year - did you watch the last Homeland? If they do another series, I want an upping of the FAF level. This series was severely lacking.

Well lovely wenches...hope your first day of 2016 has been good
I've been out walking with dh, been to see mum, been to the cemetery, and then been in bed reading a history of the hanovarian monarchy
I will watch Sherlock on catch up.
It's mums 70th tomorrow. Doing a buffet here for 14.
Think kindly of me etc......

Sherlock was bloody ace

Good luck tomorrow bads!

Im knackered. Going to so enjoy going to sleep in MY BED now. Night night wenches!

Good luck with the buffet badders

Haven't seen Sherlock either - have taped it to enjoy later.

Has been an ok day except for losing my rag with DS this evening who is massively pissing me off. Using revising for his mocks as an excuse for getting out of doing anything except what he wants. Am a millimetre away from telling him his results had been better be fucking stellar as a result

Ranty McRant etc etc

Now where's my calming pic?

Ah here it is.........

Bloody hell, watching The Count of Monte Christo with Gerard Depardieu and morelike the way he says Haydee... Oooooofffftt

Glad you are back in your own bed Madame.
Hope Sparks and Santi are nicely bathed. Make sure you turn up the heating - I can't stand being cold.

Haven't watched Sherlock yet either. Like Fancy, I still called it 'taped', which Dh corrects me - old codger, not with the times.....

I love Gerard Depardieu Anne.

obs I am an absolute sucker for a Latin based language and French is my language of choice.

Badders - what's the book called, I prefer social and cultural history but always looking for new things?

It's called "the strangest family" by Janice hadlow.
Just started "the killers of the king" by Charles spencer

Hello. Hope all wenches is well

I had planned to go shopping today but ended up on the couch again. Will go out and buy some popcorn for when I watch Poltergeist.

I am mostly going to try and finish reading The Last Kingdom today. RESOLUTION 1 HALF TICK

I have also started my 'Healthier for 2016' plan. Step 1 is removing toast from my life. RESOLUTION 2 Tick for today

Resolution 3 is to restart learning French and I am adopting an immersion technique so have watched the entire Monte Christo in French with subtitles TICK

Oh Aramis, I will need rewarding and help with my exercise regime tomorrow. Be stern.

Morning (just) good start to the year anne, I am trying to be more ruthless with to-do lists this year, so realistic lists each day that I stick to.

First item on today's list should be to get off the computer & get on with stuff.

But first.....

Well, I've woken up with a headache
Have just decorated mums cake.
I really don't know why I'm bothering Tbh. She will come, eat, then leave as soon as she can.
Sigh.
Any tips for lessening contact with her gratefully received!!
Have come to the conclusion I have to for my own sanity.

Afternoon wenches and a belated Happy New Year

Letus. I feel the same. Any room in your cupboard?
On the plus ride I have remembered to rage out the roulade to defrost forgot last year

Plenty of room Badderz. I am now picturing you beating the crap out of a poor unsuspecting roulade

I need something to perk me up. These would help

Well I'm sniggering at the mental picture of badders v the roulade!

To-do list going quite well so far today, so am having a break with a and Countdown - racy I know.

DS seems to be making an effort today, so maybe losing my rag yesterday wasn't a total disaster - he went to the shops for me this morning & purchased everything on the list with no errors /inappropriate pack sizes etc. was most impressed. DD has decided it's her turn to be crabby now

Evening all.

Badders I hope your day was ok. Did your roulade defrost? As for minimising contact: I just try and keep it short and sweet. But we've never been overly close and she lives an hour away, so it's easier for me.

A cuppa and countdown sounds my level of fun!!

Rage out?
Ffs.
Well, it's over.
Thank fuck.
Roulade was very delicious.
I may go to bed soon.

Yay bads! Loving the roulade rage.

Well I havent got round to any new years resolutions cos we're too busy spring cleaning the house ready for photos and viewings. (that's my excuse anyway.)

Net curtains are soaking overnight in bleach. Operation clean windows commences in earnest tomorrow. Anyone have any advice about putting bleach in a washing machine to finish the net curtains? Ok or not ok? And how much / when to add the bleach?

Bonsoir mes wenches. Sacre bleu and mon dieu, il y a some tres beaux hbfs ici.

Oh Anne I need to see that! I haven't seen the Gerard D version.

I use biotex for nets
