Seed potatoes helen Hmm - long term present planning? Wink

I'm on holiday next week letus & I think you've just described my favoured itinerary. I may not bother with the jigsaw.........

LetUsPrey · 10/03/2018 22:27

Night Helen.

You’ve got to have something to do Fancy whilst the HBF is cooking some food.

I am instead watching Match of the Day. It’s not really the same thing.

FancyFancy · 10/03/2018 22:54

Grin letus - good point, although we're not self catering so no cooking required he can concentrate on me

LetUsPrey · 10/03/2018 23:08

In that case I’d leave the jigsaw at home Grin

I am off to the hayloft where Brandon can demonstrate exactly how he is The Man

LetUsPrey · 11/03/2018 10:29

Morning wenches.

Are all wenches well? The antibiotics should be doing something by now hopefully Apricot.

Is sort of sunny here. Not raining anyway.

Off out to BigSis’s this afternoon.

Hope Badderz is okay.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 11/03/2018 10:47

Morning LetUs - all well here. I have a lovely card from DS (tactical error on his part - I shall expect all his handwriting to be that neat from now on!) and have milked Mothering Sunday for all it's worth to get another lie-in and an omelette cooked for breakfast.

I shall also be doing Family Visits this afternoon.

Fancy Blush yes, you have rumbled me. I am going to grow a hundred-weight of potatoes for a special birthday pressie Grin You may all sponsor a dozen potato plants each and I shall publicly thank you every time I harvest one. I'll contact you while you're on holiday with hourly updates shall I Wink

Good point - where is Badders?
I'll check under Jon Snow's cloak next time I visit The Wall with Athos...

Hope everywench has a good day.

Oh - new interview snippet on Twitter
twitter.com/WarnerBrosUK/status/972517546871095296
I'm assuming he liked his gift because it was a very popular and hard to get thing, and at that age, that counts for something. I do have a horrible suspicion that he's going to be bombarded by Mutant Ninja turtle themes things now though Grin

(Anyone want a potato update?!)

OP posts:
FancyFancy · 11/03/2018 12:10

Afternoon, no-one else has yet got out of bed here, so I'm not holding much expectation of being pampered today......

Yes please to the potato update helen Grin
And yes, I suspect lots of Ninja Turtke themed pressies will be sent.........

mrsreynolds · 11/03/2018 12:41

Alright?

Happy mothers day all 💐

I've had coffee in bed, tulips, home made card and kind of chocs. Yum yum.

Been to see mum

Bit of nothing gone quite right today!...ikea cocked the delivery up
Back tomorrow 😩
Dh tried to put the new ceiling lights up but previous owners were fucking morons so now we need to get an electrician in 😩

Hey ho

Hope you all have good days x

mrsreynolds · 11/03/2018 12:42

Kind of?
lindor
Ffs
😩

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 11/03/2018 13:11

Well, Lindor are a kind of choc - a very superior and delicious kind of choc Grin
and FFS at Ikea and previous owners

Potato update - they are in their bags on the kitchen floor. I have not done any digging, thus there is no planting happening (and probably not for a couple of weeks)

mrsreynolds · 11/03/2018 13:16

Wait for the ground to soften helen
[Nods sagely]

At least having to stay in tomorrow means I will have to do the ironing!

Im off for a nap

Then dh is making dinner
👍

LetUsPrey · 11/03/2018 13:27

Bottle of fancy Pimms was a highlight this morning.

Washing done, ironing done.

We had issues with Ikea delivery last time we used that service. Didn’t turn up twice. DH got rather stroppy with them, and he very rarely gets stroppy.

I’m trying to recall if we have any TMNT stuff here. Could put it on eBay if there are going to be some willing buyers Grin

Can I sponsor a potato Helen? I’ll call it Motson - he’s a common-tator

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 11/03/2018 15:04

Watching Cinderella, the mice are really cute, don't really like the actress, she was so annoying in Downtown Abbey. And the character is so boring, the sisters and the evil stepmum are so much more interesting. But it's a nice piece of fluff for a Sunday afternoon.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 11/03/2018 15:21

Oh wow, nice trousers Grin

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 11/03/2018 15:42

Did she have some ribs removed?

LetUsPrey · 11/03/2018 16:55

It’s a lovely light film, I agree Wicked. And she is very slim Envy. And I want the wedding dress she wears, as well as all of Cate Blanchett’s wardrobe.

Have had a lovely afternoon tea at BigSis’s house and am now stuffed. I need a little sleep.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 11/03/2018 17:07

Cate Blachet is so fab!

LetUsPrey · 11/03/2018 17:11

She can play me in the film of my life. We’re so similar

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 11/03/2018 17:23

I mean Blanchett Hmm

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 11/03/2018 17:25

You're so much more gorgeous than her ❤

LetUsPrey · 11/03/2018 17:41

Thanks Wicked Grin

Although she’s got the hair right here, as well as the expertly applied eye make up/I couldn’t be bothered to take my make up off look

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 11/03/2018 17:48

I think I saw that Cinderella, possibly. I watched one version with my mother as background irritation entertainment, and it had her feeding mice in the house and I think it had Cate Blanchett being the stepmother. But we ended up putting it onto high speed and decided that Cinders needed a good shake. I clearly have low tolerance for soppy females waiting about to be 'rescued'.

at Motson the potato. I will decide which spud looks like a Motson and make sure it's suitably labelled for your own special sponsorship updates. I warn you though, in the fullness of time you will receive an update that "I have boiled alive, and eaten all of Motson's offspring" Shock Grin

Have been amusing myself reading this thread - historical dicussion & outright silliness, what's not to like?

ApricotCrush · 11/03/2018 18:07

Hello wenches. Hope you've had a good day.

DS and DD have been round to see me which was nice.

You're right, he's going to be inundated with Ninja Turtle stuff now isn't he? He's his own worst enemy.

Also Grin at Motson. Looking forward to potato-watch.

We're going to have a Chinese takeaway. I can't be bothered to cook.
