Hope the recording thingy works Wicked and that Fancy has given things a good polishing

I’ve had a non-relaxing bath as DS1 was shouting at his computer game from his room.

Starting Strike soon

Oh no to illing MinHelen Sad hope he’s okay.

Not started here yet either. DH is still putting DS2 to bed. Lots of laughing going on though so no doubt that’s going to take a long time. DS1 still has to sort out his new school bag and put his washing away. Fucksake.

DS also remembered - when he was meant to be in bed, that despite all my comments about him needing to do homework, that he hadn't done his homework. Arghhhhhhhh
He will be doing that in the morning before he gets near a screen of any sort.

Still not started watching either. (DH is now on the phone to pre-empt a phone call mid-watch) Elk says it's fab though, 'best one yet.' She also says OH For Fucksake, mums net has locked me out

Oooooooooooh, that was a nice slow burner. Looking forward to rewatches next week now. Robin is fab Grin though she's not a HBF, so not on the list.

Will head to the hayloft and see what I can find up there...

Bloody hell that was good! TB is brilliant and HG is fabulous too.

Hayloft for me too. Paella and Brandon can jointly serenade me

SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But not enough to close school, or anything inconvenient.

DS still coughing and spluttering and feeling v sorry for himself. He joined me in bed at about 1am I think, and he's' complaining that he's tired Hmm

Morning wenches.

No snow here. Must be loads where Badderz is - she’s covered in snow

Poor MiniHelen but even poorererer Helen.

I don’t want it to be Monday already. Go away Monday and come back later.

Where is Badders? btw

I need to get dressed for school run, then out to do stuff...

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 26/02/2018 11:53

So sick of snow! I also wonder where Bads is.

ApricotCrush · 26/02/2018 13:40

Afternoon all. We had snow too, but it didn't stick.

Oh dear Helen, hope DS is better soon and that you and MrH don't catch it.

Strike was brilliant, I also thought it was the best yet. It needs another watch though of course, just to get the various characters clear. Wink Loved the little intimacies between Strike and Robin.

The overnight audience was 5.2million, 25.8%, making it the slot-winner, but not as good as the other 5 episodes which averaged an audience of 7.3m for the week, but that includes catch-up.

mrsreynolds · 26/02/2018 13:57

Alright?

Bit snowy, eh?

Sorry for being awol - some crappy family stuff going on which is quite upsetting 😔

Haven't read the thread so hope everyone is ok/recovering?

Saw strike last night - thought it was great (if upsetting content)

FancyFancy · 26/02/2018 16:47

badders, hope things improve

Haven't watched Strike yet, may do that this evening if I get all my other jobs done first.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 26/02/2018 17:15

Lots of hugs Bads ❤

ApricotCrush · 26/02/2018 18:24

Sorry to hear that Bads. Flowers

LetUsPrey · 26/02/2018 18:40

Evening wenches. You’re quite right Helen, things didn’t end particularly well for Scott in the Antarctic. Hope you’ve Nanooked yourself through the day.

Good viewing figures there for Strike. Thanks Apricot. Is recovery continuing apace?

Friend at work who’s a TB fan was all overcome when we were talking about Strike today Grin

There were about a dozen flakes of snow where I am today. You’d think we have 15 foot drifts the way some people I work with are talking. I tell them about my friend in Sweden and the snow there Grin

Oh Badderz, c’mere lovely

mrsreynolds · 26/02/2018 18:47

Ah, you know how it is...
A family member has pretty much ignored an issue and now it's serious
This person refuses all offers of help
What can you do?
😔😔

LetUsPrey · 26/02/2018 19:12

Well the easy thing to say is leave them to it. But it’s not easy is it? Don’t let yourself get run down or anything though.

mrsreynolds · 26/02/2018 19:16

I've done what I can
I've tried
Hard though

Did an extra shift at work and froze my arse off ❄

Dh away in the US

all in all I'll be glad when this week is over

mrsreynolds · 26/02/2018 19:19

Have to say I LOVE Tom's black country accent that pops up every now and again
gymkaaaana 😁

LetUsPrey · 26/02/2018 19:29

D’you know there were bits of Strike last night where I thought “hmm I might” Grin

mrsreynolds · 26/02/2018 19:35

Hahaha
Yeah
Jog on love

LetUsPrey · 26/02/2018 19:49

Grin only “might”. Wouldn’t mind getting drunk on a night out with him, but then going our separate ways. My List is extensive enough, though still expanding
