Emergency new thread, with suitable decorations.
Fill your boots...

Grubby HBFs in leather are in our imaginations residence.
Sense of humour required, and tolerance for domestic tedium.

Morning. Yes LetUs - you did quite well yesterday Grin

I don't know who Allison Janney is, and I haven't seen I, Tonya, So that's the extent of joining in that conversation Oh - I have seen Juno though. That was good.

I missed the Wales match, but have got S Africa/Japan on while I do the housework thing. The cordless hoover has run out of charge though, so I'm currently finding dried-dead mouse remains and dealing with them Hmm

Morning
Had a nice lie in this morning. Then the cats wanted breakfast Grin
Now lazing around & contemplating what to do.

Good to see Wales won the rugby earlier

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 20/10/2019 17:20

I've spent waaaaay too much time on Youtube today Confused

ApricotCrush · 20/10/2019 18:31

Evening wenches. Not much done here today, bit of housework and bit of admin.

I also have no idea about Alison Janney or I, Tonya, although I do remember the kerfuffle about her.

Eek at dried dead mouse remains. Shock

Yes, I can do that easily WW.

LetUsPrey · 20/10/2019 18:51

Evening wenches. We are back home after having had a lovely weekend away.

Alison Janney was also CJ in The West Wing.

Doing not much sounds an ideal way to spend a Sunday.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 20/10/2019 19:52

Evening. Speaking of men in kilts, we're watching Highlander.

The acting's wooden and so are the sets. It's all very cheesy entertainment. And bloody Sean Connery with the same accent in every single film he's in.

(I didn't watch West Wing either).

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 20/10/2019 20:10

Ooh Highlander, my favourite movie during the 80's, (that one and Youngblood) I had such a crush on Christophe Lambert Grin

LetUsPrey · 20/10/2019 21:08

Bloody love Highlander. Cracking music in it. Also had a huge crush on Christopher Lambert

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 20/10/2019 22:19

Hmm Christopher Lambert always looks slightly cross-eyed to me.

I should head to the hayloft...

LetUsPrey · 21/10/2019 08:18

Morning wenches. The French accent helped.

Today’s word of the day is “blaaaaahhhhh”. This describes perfectly how I’m feeling about the day ahead.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 21/10/2019 09:14

Morning.

"blaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh" pretty much sums up the weather too. DS and I are off into NearbyCity to meet friends so I can award myself a 'Good Parent' badge.

Other than that there are no plans chez SisterHelen...

OP posts:
ApricotCrush · 21/10/2019 18:18

Evening. It's daaaaaarrrkkk! And clocks go back at the weekend. Sad

I liked Christopher Lambert as Tarzan, but agree that he does have rather weird eyes.

Hope Helen and DS had a good day with friends. Not half-term until next week here.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 21/10/2019 18:42

Dark and rainy here, yuk.

The invoice for the balcony thingy came, will make a huge dent in my saving Halloween Confused

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 21/10/2019 19:34

Also dark here. We had a fun day out once I'd got the obligatory conversation with DS out of the way:
ME: DS - we are going out this morning...
DS: Hmm
ME: ...to see your BestFriendInTheWholeWorld
DS: Yay!!!
.
.
.
ME: Breakfast is ready
DS: uh-huh...

Me: Angry
DS: !!! Shock

Oh absolutely Helen, will be much easier to sell in a few years. I'll just have to drive around with no AC for a couple of more summers, can't really afford a new car at the moment.

LetUsPrey · 21/10/2019 21:11

Evening wenches. I’ll join the chorus of it being dark quite early tonight.

Work was as rubbish as can be expected, and I’m now super tired.

The morning thing with MiniHelen sounds remarkably like one with DS2.

I think I need an early night in the hayloft as I’ve still a way to go through my List, and hopefully I will be in a better mood tomorrow.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 21/10/2019 23:07

I was going to have an early night, and then DH put on Watchmen. Wenches, I don't have a clue what is going on in that series. Confused But now I'm heading for the hayloft... night all.

OP posts:
SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 22/10/2019 07:23

Morning all.

Brew is poured, the floor is mopped, and LetUs's list is in a heap on the floor Grin

I am about to have another 'conversation' with DS.

Have a good day all.

PS - last night I found a present under the bed, in a box, contents all wrapped. It is clearly for me (bath bombs and bee-related stuff) and covered in dust. DH denies all knowledge. I have no idea who it is from, or when Confused Maybe we should have a clear out from under the bed occasionally, and not just when the cats are playing silly buggers and hiding there.

OP posts:
WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 22/10/2019 08:02

OMFG! Did you see the new SW trailer?? Kylo Ren is drenched!!!

LetUsPrey · 22/10/2019 08:09

Morning wenches.

Oooo at mystery surprise present! I’ll check under our bed. Never know what I might find —lots of dust—

I forgot about Watchmen. Tom Mison is in it - Sleepy Hollow chap. I shall download it.

Thanks for the Brew Helen.

LetUsPrey · 22/10/2019 08:15

I’ve watched the trailer.

Blimey!

ApricotCrush · 22/10/2019 16:04

Afternoon. Nice day here, but I didn't do any washing because it looked like rain this morning. Hmm

Ooooo, a mystery present, how fascinating. Confused I have a pair of mystery shoes. DH found them behind my car seat, where I never put anything because the space is so tiny. They're lace-up pump-like shoes in blue denim. They fit me and I think they must have been bought at the caravan because there's sand in them but I'm buggered if I can remember buying them or wearing them there. Also, my car has never been to the caravan. Anyway they're very comfortable and I use them for shopping etc. Confused

Grin at WW and drenched Kylo.

We watched ep 1 of Dublin Murders last night, starring Wardle from Strike. Neither of us went to sleep so it must have been good. Will continue with it tonight.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 22/10/2019 19:22

Evening. Never mind mystery shoes and bath bombs - MN trending has 'mystery knickers' top of the list Grin Puts our efforts in the shade Grin and Speaking of mysteries, where is Fancy? (Doubtless chained to her work desk in Real Life - I choose to believe she's trapped under a pile of HBFs though. Much more fun.)

Have watched Star Wars trailer. It is very Star Warsy. Doubtless DS will drag us out to see it Grin

I have just started downloading the Catherine the Greats I've missed and setting up for the rest. Also watching 'Flying Archeologist'. Meanwhile, Stupid Cat is asleep on me.

OP posts:
LetUsPrey · 22/10/2019 22:00

Evening wenches. No mysterious things here. Wouldn’t mind some mystery shoes.

Love your recommendation Apricot - didn’t fall asleep Grin

I watched most of the first episode of Catherine the Great. I might persevere with it.

Now watching Watchmen. No idea what’s going on.

LetUsPrey · 23/10/2019 07:54

Morning wenches.

Have never heard of Flying Archaeologist Helen. I think this is something I should look into.

Seems dry for a change.

I can always help with Fancy’s HBFs. Happy to give a helping hand
