Swagger Inn 159 - It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas......

[ApricotCrush]

The HBFs have promised to come down the wenches' chimneys on Christmas Eve

Morning wenches. Feeling quite chipper this morning.

Hope you were careful in the dark Helen. You don’t know who’s lurking about —if you’re lucky—

Usual Saturday shenanigans here with the added extra of a library visit.

letus I'm also a competitive quizzer

Getting up in the dark on a Saturday helen? I am contemplating what to do today - nothing urgent to do, so may look at re-starting ebaying unwanted stuff

Been fodshopping, went for a walk and looked at apartments online. Now on the couch doing fuck all.

Afternoon.

Glad you had a successful evening LetUs.

I'm eBaying too Fancy. Have you heard of Depop? It's a sort of cross between eBay and Instagram. They seem very young on there, but they like vintage clothing and I'm wondering if my old but good stuff will sell better on there than eBay.

Oh, seen anything you like WW?

NOT happy with Grantchester. Bad Sidney.

Several nice apartments out there, mu dream is to have a small house but it's hard to find one and I can't stay where I am forever since mum is moving back so I'm thinking that I'lm start with an apartment and live there until I found my dream home. I'm grateful that I'm able to buy something since I've been saving up for a down payment these last two years, so that's great

I know LetUs - no-one should get up when it's dark at weekends. (unless HBFs are involved of course). It might even get worse because DS has been asked to join a competitive team for SaturdayMorningSportingActivity - am simultaneously proud of him and aghast at the though of even more early starts. Or I might just not go to any competitive events. #BadMother

Quizzes are fab. Me and DH used to do a weekly pub quiz before DS.

I had a pile of clothes I was planning to ebay, for more-than-several months. I have given up and given them to a friend as hand-me-downs. I'm a bit rubbish at ebaying.

Apricot - you aren't old enough to have vintage clothes. (Not in wench-world - which is like Spice World but more tasteful and with more HBFs) Though you might be actually, because I passed a 'vintage' clothes shop round here and they had various dresses etc in the window, with labels saying what they were and from when. One of the 'vintage' dresses was labelled as being from 1980s The horror!

Anything interesting on the housing front Wicked?

I know Helen. These days clothing is considered to be vintage if it's 20 years old. DD still has a wardrobe of clothes here that must be that old too.

Well done on saving a deposit for your own place WW.

Clothes from the 80´s are considered vintage??!!

This one is nice

IKR? RE. 'vintage' it's daft.

Is the apartment on the top floor? (So you don't have to put up with people clumping arund overhead.)

I'm only interested in apartments on the top floor Helen, the only one I want on top of me is Kylo Ren

Went out with DS2 and had a wander round Sainsbury’s clothing range. It looks like the 80s are making a comeback so get your “vintage” stuff out there!

Wicked

Spoken like a true wench wicked

I've not heard of that one apricot, will bear it in mind if I find clothes to sell, thank you.

That is nice ww - love that it has a balcony

I am contemplating going out for a groceries shops - didn't want to do it earlier as it would've been too busy

Can someone tell me that there have been hbf sightings in my local supermarket - the carrot may be more effective than the stick.......

I think this might be one of Red’s Fancy

Thank you Apes, the only reason I've been living in this godforsaken place is because of the low rent which made it possible for me to save money.

Is Fancy checking out the sausages still at the supermarket?

Yy, well done on the saving Wicked

Hayloft for me. Last night’s very late night has caught up with me.

Morning wenches.

Is rather windy here. Don’t like it.

Am only dropping DS1 at sportingactivity and DH is staying there today. He says he doesn’t want to go any more even though he’s so close to reaching the top level and it’d be a massive achievement.

Best get in the shower. HBFs are welcome to join me.

Morning. Had an unexpectedly early night with DS, then and had HBF cameos in dreams (there may have been flirting, but I don't really remember because it all got overwritten by one about mild packing/travelling anxiety, and there was a quiz on a coach transfer ). AND got a lie-in this morning! Excellent

Also windy here, so have got washing on. No plans for today other than lounging about doig hbfs nothing much,

I had such a weird dream. Helen and Fancy were with me in Stockholm touristing, I don't remember all of it but we were at an outdoor café and I suddenly remembered that I forgot my shoes somewhere. Then all of the sudden I was with the cast from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and we were in a mall, I bought a pen, still missing my shoes, and they bought baguettes before the flight but I said I would just get something at the airport and then I woke up

Hurrah for early night and lie in! And also hurrah for HBFs and flirting! Pfft to anxiety dreams though getting in the way.

Missing shoes Wicked? Perhaps that means you have to go shoe shopping

Is very very dark here and very rainy. Am about to do the ironing.

I could've sworn I'd posted this morning

Anyhoo, have been shopping to see if there was anything left in the sales & picked up a few things.

And no I did not spend all night checking out sausages letus. Well not at the supermarket anyway - FancyMan came round last night after work

Fabulous bizarre dreams wenches - shame about the lack of hbfs, but well done to ww for getting wenches in hers. helen I always get packing anxiety dreams too

Afternoon. Windy here too. And cold.

Wonderfully weird dreams. I dreamt a doctor told me I could go back on HRT, after my evil GP wouldn't give me any more 4 years ago.

We watched a lovely programme last night that I recorded over Christmas called The Snow Wolf: A Winter's Tale. Absolutely beautiful and not too gory as wildlife programmes often are.

Les Mis tonight.

We're watching Ski Sunday - they've just been talking about 'face-first action'

LetUs - DS1 can't give up! What will we do without HBI and his innuendos? We'll go into mourning!

Washing got mostly dry, and I got it in before it rained, so that was good. Then we got out into the garden this afternoon which was good because DS was just lolling about and complaining that he was bored.

And now DS wants to play Exploding Kittens...

Fancy

Might see if that’s still available Apricot. Currently watching ep2 of Les Mis. at Fantine and Cosette

face-first action Helen.

The instructors had a chat with DS1 apparently but I reckon he’s already made up his mind.

We’re two fence panels down because of the weather.

You are a devoted parent Helen. No doubt you will be rewarded.
