Swagger Inn 153: New Year Resolutions: restrict --perving-- HBF appreciation to days including a 'y'

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

I think I can keep to that one...
Here's my starter for 10.
I have thoughtfully arranged arranged them in order of FAF Debate ad discuss

Oh yes - DS 'found' Merlin (I told him it was there to avoid Gumball or similar) and the first episode is indeed full of topless and sweaty men

Oh id love a cordless Hoover

Oh we're well Rock'n'Roll aren't we. Still - hoover conversations give us lots of opportunities for innuendos about suction length of 'hose' and extending parts etc.

I think I'm heading for the hayloft, where all this hoovering talk has inspired me to give the contents a good going over Though will leave this fixture for LetUs www.instagram.com/p/pW3C5SDCNI/ to deal with

He shoots, he scores!

Or rather he scores and then shoots

We have watched the first episode of Hard Sun. Very very good. Have downloaded the next five. Agyness Deyn was brilliant.

Morning all.

on the tables
on the bar

Laters...

Morning wenches.

Thanks for the Helen

Bit gloomy here. DH has gone to work. I’m not convinced he’s properly better but he won’t listen.

Morning
Off to work in a bit, it looks grey and cold out there - I thought there was supposed to be some sun today?

Oh the sun has popped out!
Ds2 back to school today so today’s been my first “normal” day since they broke up on 20th.
Been for coffee with Mum
Been to do dad’s flowers...that was a bit damp
Just done the ironing
I’ve downloaded an app -7 minute workout
Think kindly etc ❤️

Afternoon, the sun's out here too.

Yay for vacuum cleaner, boots and workout app.

We watched Hard Sun too, excellent. I'm not keen on Jim Sturgess though, didn't like him in Close to the Enemy either. As you say LetUs Agyness Deyn is very good.

Can't wait to get this monitor off, it's irritating me. I have to return it this afternoon.

I struggled to sleep in mine apes. The wires seem to go everywhere don’t they?
I’m watching hard sun too. 3rd ep tonight I think
Sun! Actual sunshine! I feel like I should be out enjoying it!

Workout done
I planked!! Ok only for 30 secs..
But still.. .
Oh! Merlin on. Lovely

Well done Bads. Yes to the wires going everywhere and being unable to sleep. It's gone back now thank goodness.

Dinner done
Dishes done
Ds1s pe kit washed
I think I can have a relax now

Evening wenches.

What is this “sun” of which you speak?

Hope you’ve got the monitor off okay Apricot and they get the results to you quickly. Especially if it means you being chased down the corridor again

Hurrah for MiniMiniBadderz’s return to school!

I like how (from the one episode of Hard Sun I’ve watched) Jim Sturgess’s character is - I think - a good guy but he’s still a bit of a shit. Can’t think I’ve seen him in anything else. Didn’t watch Close to the Enemy.

DC are at the dentist. DS1’s school have buggered up his attendance record. I shall be having Words —by email— tomorrow.

Suppose I’d better —put the pizzas in the oven— get on with making the dinner.

Yes, What is this 'sun' thing that you're talking about? I have seen none of that today

I have been at the BoringOfficeJob today, being kept busy with spreadsheets and finance shenanigans. Now I am writing envelopes for the 'thank you' letter that DS wrote well over a week ago - oops!

Well done on the exercising Badders, Did you get the nice Dr again apricot?

DH is in a mood. They got stuck in traffic on the way home. Took them over an hour to do a 10 minute journey. He’s now late to go out. So apparently this is somehow my fault. At least that’s the impression I get because a simple thing I’ve said (and which was wrong but an easy mistake to make and had just been backed up by DS2), has been met with repeated “I can’t believe you think that! I can’t believe you don’t know. How can you not know?” Over and fucking over. Oh I don’t know, why don’t you know where the DC’s clothes go/are? Well fuck you and horse you rode in on.

Sadly no Helen, I took it off myself and handed it in to the hospital reception. The result will go to my GP and I will no doubt spend the next 6 weeks trying to get a reply from them as per last time.

-10 here, brrrr.

Thanks Apricot in case it takes a long time for results to come through

Hmm you need something to warm you up Wicked

😡 at letus dh

I'm on hell week so I tend to avoid people as I know I can be a psycho bitch a bit unreasonable at this totm 😐

Opticians tomorrow for brought forward eye check. Sigh. If I need new glasses dh will prob divorce me.

FFS MrLetUs I bloody hate it when people do that.

apricot - Dr Burke will just have to do instead then, if your HotHospitalDoctor couldn't be bothered. I'm sure it won't be too much of hardship though will it?

It's +8 -ish here wicked, more dank and miserable than 'freezing our toes off'. Though apparently it's -20s where we'll be skiing I will need many HBFs to keep me warm.....

I knew the wenches would understand Another belter from DH before he went out - he’s taking DS1 to a college thing tomorrow evening. Do I know whereabouts to go at the college? No. Does it say in any of the letters or emails (that I’ve printed and put in the same place)? I check - no. Can I find out? Sorry, am I the secretary for the whole family? FFS. He’s annoyed me, can you tell?

I think I’m due at the opticians soon. Did I mention Dog-A-Like is back at the branch I go too?

As a happy bonus, I have found a little packet of Lotus biscuits hiding at the bottom of the biscuit barrel!

That is what I call a win letus - I think you've earned then.

Right, I need to get on with doing stuff

What sort of stuff would you like to do then Fancy?

All of the above helen tbf. Sadly, the stuff so far has involved chores and applying my superpower - namely finding stuff my family can't, by combining OPENING MY FUCKING EYES AND LOOKING THROUGH THEM.

Now for a grocery order
