Swagger Inn 138 - in which we run out of --Musketeers Episodes-- witty titles, but need a new thread to carry on blethering

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

As above. It's late, and I'm too tired to be clever or witty. (Business as usual then )

If anyone needs me I'll be in the hayloft with Athos

Morning wenches.

I've rewatched Jay's jive too Apricot to compare! I think I'd give Ore's jive (which I've watched three times) the edge because I think Jay was another stage school attendee and Ore doesn't have that experience (as far as I'm aware). Also I really like Ore . Danny's quickstep was fab.

Usual Sunday stuff here and lovely MIL is coming for dinner so tidying to be done, although she wouldn't care

Rainy here - or will be soon. Any room there Apricot?

It's lamping it down over bill's mother's here too.

ww - yay for Internet!

bads - sounds like he is a great reader so that is brilliant. I reckon as long as they're reading well and enjoying at home, that's the most important thing you can do. Jump through whatever hoops necessary for school but the main thing is they grow up enjoying reading.

helen tyvm for hiring aramis to proofread my job app. He was remarkably thorough and insisted on several revisions before putting me it to bed.

It's done now and Im going to submit it today. If it comes off, I will feel really bad about bailing on current job as it's a very nice and worthy charity. However, I am going mad Ted. Ah well. Cross that bridge eh...

You'll have to get the other side of Athos though.

Yes agreed re Ore, and also Danny's quickstep.

I used to hear that phrase as a child, and as I had an Uncle Bill, his mother was my grandmother and I always thought of it being black over her house.

Fingers crossed Madame.

I'll leave you both in peace Apricot I need to get my backside off the settee and into the shower.

Well that settles who bill is in my mind apes

Oooh just remembered funniest line on hignfy on fri - "A pound is now worth one euro. We've left the EU, and joined the single currency."

Alright wenches?
We are both midlands based aren't we apes? Maybe it's a midlands thing?
We have decided as it's raining that we are having a pj and movie day
I've got some stuff from m and s to lob in the oven later
I've bought a new cover for the rotary washing line rock n roll

I think it must be Bads.

Well, I'm up and dressed, but not terribly motivated.

Me either apes.
Not dressed either :)
I'm wafting about in my new winter pjs and robe...
Dh is still painting.
DC are squabbling as they can't go outside.
Trying to find something we all like to put on....

Hmm, what could you watch Badderz?

Am showered and dressed. Been sneerily argued at by a 15 year old. Fun times.

HBI better be at sportingactivity.

Have fab days wenches.

Morning wenches, has been bucketing down here but ok now, so am going out to the shops after a bath.

Good luck with that job application madame, and with the HBIs letus

Right, bath time.....Laters

Ds1 hasn't got a match today, thank goodness
Dh is hoping to be finished by tomorrow afternoon.
I suppose I ought to prep lunch...

Hello wenches

Aaaaw Apes

Not a good day for foodshopping and driving, I'm amazed how many stupid people there's out there. Felt a but ragey but I'm good now

Watching Miss Marple, lots of well known faces including Treville, Mr Bingley's evil sister and Sherlock

I see you are watching Murder Is Easy there Wicked. The Batch on a motorbike. Mmmm.

HBI was there. DS1 still being a PITA. MIL isn't coming for dinner which is a shame.

Ironing this afternoon accompanied by NCIS I think.

Oh FFActualSake typed long post, had power cut. Argh.

I have got washing in the machine, so Bill's Mother will be visiting just as it's ready to be hung out.

I'm mostly having a paperwork day at the mo. I am not channeling Athos because he does not open letters, and being (reluctantly) one of the nobility he doesn't pay tax anyway - from what I recall of Dumas' description of 17C France and taxation.

laters

Dinner made and eaten.
Off to see mum I think...might walk as it's sunny ATM...

Called my current landlady about me moving, so now it's official

[champagne] for Wicked (how many boxes have you packed now then?

Not that many actually, I got a bit manic in the beginning but I have calmed down a bit. Already moved all the garden stuff though

Ooh exciting times ww, the move is definite

Shops were not great. Too many other people

What bastards Fancy

I love my new recordable digital box, now I don't have to miss good shows like Miss Marple that are on too late

I had a lovely time shopping at Primark last time I was in London, on Monday morning

Exactly ww, they should've all fucked off home & left me to shop in peace . Apart from the shop assistants, they were all lovely.
