Swagger Inn thread 154 - wenches find new ways to describe going on Strike<ylt>

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

'nuff said?

erm... isn't it a bank holiday today though? MrBadders shouldn't need to be booking a day off - let alone working through it

I have been weeding and attacking brambles.

Nope
He only gets Easter Monday off

I've been out
Took mum to Tesco so I've lost the will to live
😣

That’s a bit poo.

Something to perk you up Badderz?

I’m back in bed. DS2 has been spectacularly awful for most of the day. DH has been getting the brunt of it. I’m in my happy place which, seeing as it’s Friday, is the chateau with Aramis.

Why thank you letus ❤

I'm in bed too! Dh has painted the bedroom so has redeemed himself

Dc are at pils so it's quiet here

It's raining here now. DS has got a new Xbox game which is purely players trying to kill each other. I am Unimpressed.

Also, fecking bindweed.....

That’s spot on that Helen

Will the flamethrower work on bindweed?

I have been downstairs and persuaded DS2 to put on an episode of Horrible Histories. He put another on straight after out of his own choice. My work is done.

Back in bed now.

Flamethrower would work wonderfully on the bindweed. Sadly it wouldn't be so good for the raspberries that I'm having to dig around...

Well done on wrangling DS2 - DS is currently running through multiple episodes of Star Wars Rebels Well he's currently in bed, but you know...

I gave him the “put Horrible Histories on because poor mum’s been ill —and she can’t take another fecking epsidoe of Alvin and the bastard Chipmunks—“

He’s back to being a PITA for DH.

I’m watching Killers and Brandon Flowers videos on YouTube

Excellent parenting skillz there.

I think I shall head for the bath/early night option. Athos can give my back a scrub, then improvise.....

Night Helen. Enjoy groping around for the rubber ducky

Chateau for me. Aramis has said he’ll take things slowly

Morning wenches.

Am actually up —but not dressed— and have put a wash on. I’m sure there are more people living in this house. I’ve kept on top of the washing except for the last couple of days and the basket’s overflowing.

DS2 is still being a PITA. DH has taken him to his swimming lesson.

Cakes to bake, things to be, places to be, people to see....

for all and hurrah for LetUs being up and about... being dressed is overrated.

Laters....

Afternoon, was out with a friend yesterday - being all cultural & shit at the theatre Was back rather late owing to problems on the trains.

Was planning on a bank holiday weekend trip to teh garden centre, but it is all drizzly & cold out there I think ScaerdyCat has the right idea - she crawled under my duvet after eating her breakfast & hasn't surfaced since.

We need to do another coat of paint (which we really didn't plan on!) So that's that's thrown the decorating plans for today

In other news I've bought a new bedroom chair...its lush

I've also had to buy new bedding

It's becoming quite an expensive bank holiday 😣🤣

Also cold and drizzly here. I shall go and dig up more fecking bindweed though, so I will feel I have achieved something today... (and I'd rather do that than decorating!)

To be fair I'm not doing much we decorating Helen 😁
I'm currently on the sofa eating Pringles
Dh is cracking on like a trooper 👍
Ds1 and I are having a marvel film a thon tomorrow so not sure if we will get much done
Have a lovely Easter all 🐣🍫💐

DH has gone out to the football.

DS1 has gone to the cinema with his cousin. Dropped them off and was going to do a bit of shopping in town with DS2 but the wind was fecking biting so we came straight home.

DS2 is in his room.

I’m sure there’s something I should be doing other than watching tv but can’t think what it could be.

Where’s the new bedding from Badderz? I love new bedding.

Oh, it's only from next. And plain white. Quite boring really 😁
Curtains, bed throw and cushion are silver velvet
Chair is from a local boutique and... unusual 😁
Carpet being laid on Friday

Well I made it to the garden centre - not much there and OMG the potholes on the way and the massive puddles The roads round here are shocking

Am consoling myself with some NCIS - some stern looking Gibbs on screen is always welcome.

Evening wenches, we're back home. The house is bloody freezing.

Bloody love Vikings
Watching thor ragnorak

Ah but new bedding is new bedding and, if you team it with new pyjamas, you can almost reach peak bedtime. You’d need at least one HBF for the peak. And no pyjamas.

Pleased the weather wasn’t too bad for you Apricot. Apricot? Oh er, right, I see. Perhaps Strike will pass the message on, although going off his expression, I’m not sure he’s paying much attention

I loved Thor Ragnarok. I’ve just spotted that Spider-Man Homecoming is on tonight so I think we’ll be watching that.

Very much enjoying your decorating skills there Fancy.

Have asked DS2 what his favourite bit of Horrible Histories is. Stupid Deaths. I am in no way surprised.

MaybeI should stop stuffing my face with chocolate?
