Swagger Inn Thread 141 - May every wench find an hbf under her --duvet-- mistletoe this Christmas

[FancyFancy]

Order a festive drink from Mother S - not mulled wine cos it fucking stinks , grab a handful of spicy Chilean nuts & join us for some bastardised carols & seasonal perving

Evening (again)

I'm having a short sit down & catching up here before cracking on with some chores. If it's true that there's no peace for the wicked (nto) then I must have been very bad recently

Sorry to hear about DGS apricot, poor mite
Thank you for the astronomy update - that has cheered me up!

Ooh badders I love that film I do adore old musicals

Meet me in St Louis, louis
Meet me at the fair

Nice present ww & I'm glad to see you have your priorities straight on how to spend it

More rewards for letus & one for helen to make up for the festive socialising

It is the one with Kevin bacon
I love a good musical....very partial to a bit of Howard keel
I'm still bloody coughing - my pelvic floor
Is fucked
Dh breaks up tomorrow lunch time - hurrah!

I like Gene Kelly myself - all that athletic dancing thighs

I did festive socialising - give me a slap and call me a grinch next time. It was mostly fun apart from the bits where I stood about like a lemon with not a clue what to say to a bunch of people I've never met before

though I'll take my reward now thank-you-very-much fancy

wicked - hurrah for work pressie

Well when we first met , we had no problem finding hot men things to talk about helen

Morning wenches. Arf at the thought of buying gym gear with gift vouchers!

Hope coughing is on its way out.

Glad you had a good time Helen. Yy to Gene Kelly and his dancing Fancy.

helen that sort of thing is so much easier if you drink. You did well to do it dry!

Well I neither got rid of my migraine not enjoyed Matilda, because they cancelled it at the interval cos the girl playing Matilda lost her voice. Wtaf??? Why did they not have an understudy available? Fucking furious. Will be able to claim money back. But had I known, I would have stayed in bed and got over the migraine instead of popping pills which are no doubt going to cause a rebound headache tomorrow when my mum and her man friend arrrive for lunch.

Feel so sorry for the families that travelled from other parts of the country to see that.

It was a bloody shambles RSC, a bloody shambles.

and it wasnt that good anyway

Since a Roald Dahl story is clearly a bit crap and needs improving, they felt the need to add some utterly tedious story-within-a-story which slowed the whole thing down even more than the two half-hour intervals when they tried to sort her feckin voice out

RAAAAAAH!!!!!

Lalalala. Happy Christmas!!!!

On the other hand, the other kids were just amazing, especially Bruce Bogtrotter who had the most hilarious dance moves and deserves his own show.

Does anyone know when abs are supposed to kick in?
Coz I'm still coughing 😞😷
Wondering whether to cancel Boxing Day do here TBH...the food is arriving tomorrow so need o decide today...
Fml

Madame....no understudy? How odd!

Morning

How bloody irritating madame, I hope your head isn't too bad today after that . It is Thursday though, so maybe Dr Aramis can assist using his healing hands?

badders - not sure , I think chest infections are notoriously slow to shift, whereas antibiotics I've taken for tonsilitis or mastitis have provided an massive improvement in 24 hours, so I think it depends on where the infection is iyswim?

Fuck
I've just bent over to pick some washing up, coughed and put my back out!
What do I do!?

Morning. Have been hoovering (hurrah - not) and need to carry on with that. I also need to get dressed, hang out wahsing, put more washing on, and generally find channel my inner 'domestic goddess', rather than the usual 'domestic disaster zone'.

Badders cancel boxing day and take drugs for your back. Chest infections take ages to shift so don't expect an immediate improvement.

Madame re. stupid theatre and good luck with lunch.

DH wants to make a list of things we need to do..... pretty much everything

In other news, it looks like Cormoran Strike will have to move office soon

laters........

Gah
Tried to cancel some of the grocery order but it's too late!
Oh dear. Dh will have to step up.
He is off to the shop in a mo to buy me biscuits for medicinal purposes.
Dh will also be hoovering later

bads hope your back isnt too bad. What helen said.

letus thank you for the aramis.

Christ the Guardian, that's a long article. Sad though cos it sounds like the street is doomed alright. I love this Kinks song that describes the area...

Hello wenches.

Nice pressie WW, much better to be able to choose something you want.

Shame about the show Madame.

Oh dear Bads, one thing after another.

I was going to do some housework this morning, but DD phoned to ask if I would have DGS while she went to have her nails done. I don't mind, but when am I going to get my jobs done? I'm doing Christmas Day and Boxing Day and I'm running out of days.

There are some new hi-res pics from War and Peace on the Far Far Away site.

Still not sure about the turban tbh
They and ponchos are basically impossible to style out imho

Oooh bad boy Dolokov, yummie

Hope Bads and Madame gets better soon

There's a serie about the Bronte sister on BBC One starting 29/12, must try to watch it!

Turban? No thanks, except for the potential to unwind him like a spinning top across the room

Spinning top?

My back is still sore but ok
Sounds like dc and dh are killing each other so I shod go and investigate...
