Swagger Inn 146 - The one made in a panic because there are only 4 posts left....

Cute cat update : Inconvenient cat is lying on his back, toasting his tummy in a pool of sunlight.

Nearly done though, I hope. I'm not bloody spending all day working today anyway.

Morning wenches.

You're a hero Fancy, although I'd left Paella slumped behind the bar and I think he's still there . Gibbs looks terribly happy

I have no cute cat update so I shall live vicariously through wench cat updates.

Aaaaaw at cute cats

Morning. Being a good hostess is quite exhausting isn't it?

He does look happy doesn't he letus? Well anytime he needs a smile putting on his face......

Homework hell here. Little sod has had 4 weeks to do a project and it has to be in tomorrow. And of course nothing was done last weekend while I was away, was it?

I hear you Helen
Ds1s school are now introducing end of term exams after half term in prep for the new gcses
They told us 2 weeks ago and - like ds1 - a lot of people are away over half term
So we've just been printing off the exam timetable and revision guides...he has done all his homework for today but I've just seen he has a pe project to do before July
Ffs
Ds2 is having the vapours because he is playing piano at assembly on Thursday ...
I'm prepping lunch
Usual Sunday bollocks

Afternoon wenches

at the thought of putting a smile on Gibbs's face

I have ironed. DH is at the football. I'm supposed to be emptying the dishwasher, filling it up again, and putting away the ironing. I should also give DS1 a nudge re revision. I'm watching Say Yes To The Dress and waiting for the ice cream van.

DS2 is non-uniform on Friday. 1970s theme. What.The.Fuck.

70s Theme? FFS. Does DS2 like wearing orange and brown then LetUs Or nylon?

Homework is done and I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo pissed off. I know DH did a sterling job yesterday single-parenting while I worked, but he didn't do the fucking homework with him did he? RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I am going outside to take out my bad mood on the weeds and the fiddling bits of lawn that DH can't be bothered to mow himself.

Just as well DH is out because he's not really done much wrong, but I need a target to stop me exploding at DS (have doe enough of that already) The grass won't get upset if I hack it to death. Well, not that I'd notice anyway. And by the time I'm done I should be amused by my own overreaction and will be less likely to kill anyone. It's a plan...

Funny how the least fun parenting jobs (homework hell) are always the bits that don't get done.....

Yikes to teh 70's theme - all that polyester, can you imagine the static build up? - quite literally

at 'passes stiff ones'

Sympathies with homework hell, thank God I don't have that. 70s Theme?

Just dropped mum home. I'm looking at the dishes....not doing em though
Might go and have a sit down upstairs.
Just sipping a coffee

To be fair, DH does homework with DS2 but anything else, for example book day which someone had the entire week of half term to sort out but didn't, gets left to me. See also theme days.

Apricot you still look that fabulous. And I love TipsyApricot

Actually DS2 does love orange so he has a number of orange tops and hoodies. I did consider sending him in in a sort of punk vibe but have no idea what to do

Dh does maths because....well....im crap at it but if course that means every other subject falls to me
He had to annotate a scene from Macbeth this morning.
Cheery subject for a Sunday morning!
Ds2 is driving me mad today - he is manic. Running around wanting to DO stuff. Ffs.

I'm in bed contemplating a bath 🛀

Nope, nothing to see here, no idea where Badderz has gone.

I'm watching Austenland

I was right - pushing the mower round the garden and then playing cricket with DS has erased any urge to be snarly and snappy because I knackered now...

Twitter is muttering about Strike being on in 'summer' (it's been mentioned in some TV mags as 'coming up' but without actual dates)

Love tipsy Apes

at Austenland. Love Bonnaire in it

I bought that on DVD and still haven't watched it!!

I love Miss Charming, she's hilarious and Captain East has just arrived

Miss Charming is fab

I might watch it tomorrow whilst I do the ironing

Oh you simply must Badderz!

Time for tea in my new mug

Aw - nice mug.

Can I just say - Lindt Gold Bunnies - om nom nom I'm normally a dark chocolate girl, but - yum!

Cute mug Wicked!

DS2 has a Lindt bunny. He took the bell off it on Saturday morning and was shaking it. A lot.
