Swagger Inn Thread 142 - in which the holidays are over and we're back to normal perving hours

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

Questions:

1. Why doesn't my office look like this?

Back from picking up the last stuff from the old place and leaving the key. So relieved and bloody knackered! Relaxing with a cuppa and watching The woman in black.

My god!!!! I literally can't put down my phone today!! The world's gone fucking bonkers and finally it looks like some people are going to do something about it. Yay for the American lawyers and judges who have blocked Trump's shitty travel ban.

This petition is very heartening as it is currently going up 1000 signatures ever two minutes. I timed it.

JLM was lovely on GN. Came across like a total sweetheart. And he tweeted today that he's donated to American human rights type lawyers so yay him.

I am loving the fact that Theresa the Appeaser looks to have fucked up big time over this. Finally her true colours are showing in a way that our majority- biased national press isn't going to be able to avoid reporting on.

Hello wenches.

Have RBNRM. Something about twatbadger DHs and unsavoury sports gear. Oh, and Pythagoras. I don't know what they do now, but I had to learn 30 theorums for 'O' level geometry, and I loved them. With maths you're either right or wrong, whereas with a lot of other subjects it very much depends on the judgement of the examiners.

Well done WW, you've earned a rest.

So, DH had a temporary filling at the dentist and he's gone off to warmer climes. I on the other hand have a week of bliss when I don't have to cook if I don't want to and can be generally untidy. I'll miss him of course, but as we said before, it's good to have a break.

Enjoy your alone time Apes

that petition wasn't even at 10,000 at 11am...

(runs out to buy potatoes... oh the excitement!)

Just finished watching The woman in black, a bit different from the book and I think the book is creapier.

Also, who'd be an actor...? [[https://twitter.com/KatLeStrande/status/825711420654383105 Filming outside on cold wet Sundays]] Yuck to that weather (ignores soggy washing on the line) I'm having a hot chocolate when I'm back from the potato-hunt.

Enjoy your week Apricot

How are you feeling today Madame?

for Wicked. You deserve it.

Much along the lines of your exciting potato hunt Helen, I have much excitement planned too. Finish the washing up that DH started (he's gone to the football), empty the washing machine, do the ironing, get DS2 to finish his maths homework and start his poster, and also do his reading homework with him, chivvy DS1 to do his too.

So, bearing all that in mind, I'm watching Epic on channel 4.

Im fine head wise letus but had another epic row this morning with p so that's not so good.

So Im basically living inside my phone today / giving occcasional help to ds with his endless supply of birthday lego sets.

It's pissing rain so unfortunately we cant go out today, unfortunately. I was toying with the idea of fucking off out to watch T2 on my own in protest at p's twatbadgery, but the weather put me off.

Grrr at your P Madame

On a very frivolous note, I can save anywench the bother of buying nail polish from The Body Shop. Bought a bottle when I ordered my mum's Christmas present. The colour's gorgeous and it went on nicely but it chips really easily so off it comes tonight. Shame because I don't think I've been disappointed in their products before.

Done DS2's maths with him. About to start reading. Washing up done, washing machine emptied and another load in. Rocknroll.

I got some gel effect no 7 from boots - very good

Yy, I like No7 nail polish.

Losing the will to live with DS2's homework. Send HBFs carrying vodka.

I'm hiding upstairs
Fuck it
If ds1 doesn't revise he won't get a good score
Not my circus, not my monkeys 🐒
I'm watching an ep of elementary with Sean pertwee in

[Aramis] for Madame.

I've been using a metallic foil nail polish from Next. It lasts me a fortnight. I'm very careful and always use rubber gloves in water and shower quickly. If it does chip I just paint a bit more on and you can't see it.

I'm tracking DH, he's nearly there.

Apes..you remind me of my late aunt - she was really glamorous too 💋

Well I try, but it's getting more and more difficult these days.

Oh please...you are a total glamourpuss 😻

Aw, bless you. My Mum was the same even into her 90s.

You're so fabulous Apes

It feels more cosy and like home with my books

.

Ww I love a house full of books. Cosy and interesting.

Gym bag watch; was left on lawn until approx 6pm when he needed it for the gym. Cue whining and scuffling around for it. Mr C pipes up 'Your mother's thrown it outside cock'.

😆

He didn't dare come and ask why.

I've just signed a petition on the parliament site. Seems probably pointless but fun to see the numbers going up. Shows there's still some sound folk around.

Laters, off to work.

Oh, darling sis bought me some Superdrug gel which is fab. I was a bit eyeballing at Superdrug but to be fair, we wore Rimmel everything for years.

Oh and Scary Sporting Event is Sunday Helen aaaarrrgggh.

because you totally are 😘

Love your bookcase Wicked. All my books are in my bedroom. Don't really have anywhere to put them downstairs. I really need to have a sort out of DS2's books as there are loads on there that'll never get read again, but I'm completely rubbish at getting rid of books.

Thank you It's Hemnes from IKEA. I had another bookcase as well but chucked that one out, it was so clumsy.

I have so many bookcases...it's embarrassing
I signed too comtesse
