Swagger Inn 170. Autumn is here with a vengeance. I think we'll just hide under the duvet --with HBFs-- until Spring.

I caved and ordered some stuff from the site I ordered from before, mostly shortbread, the delivery cost will be £15, which is ok (we do have shortbread here but only boring ones).

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 15/11/2021 19:45

Just hope it doesn’t get stuck in customs Hmm

LetUsPrey · 15/11/2021 19:47

Evening wenches.

Hurrah for seeing friends and a lovely weekend away Fancy!

Like a Wench on a HBF and Wench cluedo Helen GrinGrin I can completely relate to the well-meaning but totally unnecessary advice.

Today was a bit of a shocker at work but it’s done for now.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 16/11/2021 06:54

Morning all. It's daaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrkkkk Sad and I have woken up with a headache. FMHeadache. I will be packing DS out the door for school and taking myself back to bed.

StupidCat has brought a mouse in this morning, just to show that she can. Not that she wants to eat it - nope. She wants biscuits now thanks, if I'd be good enough to dispose of the mouse for her

Hope everywench has a good day

LetUsPrey · 16/11/2021 07:25

Morning wenches. Bored of it being dark when I get up.

Good of her to bring you a gift Helen

ApricotCrush · 16/11/2021 16:50

Afternoon. Daaaarrrkk here too. Sad

I went to Lidl this morning and was very cross with myself as I have a £5 voucher on the app and forgot my phone. I'll have to go again before it expires. Hmm

Hope Helen's headache has gone, and LetUs had a better day.

Did the cattle prod get used Letus? Grin

Have been mostly pottering today, doing a few jobs and reading. Am now trying to summon the motivation to reactivate my eBay account and make a start on clearing out stuff

LetUsPrey · 16/11/2021 17:57

Evening wenches. Funny old day. Bit of emergency early morning in that dad got taken to hospital. Some kind of seizure possibly but they’re not sure what so he’s staying overnight for tests. So I didn’t go to work (day’s leave) and we’ve been taking turns MumSitting. She’s spoken to him and said he sounds perky and more like himself. I’ll keep the cattle prod charged for nosy feckers tomorrow though.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 16/11/2021 18:33

How awful Letus, hope your dad gets well soon ❤️

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 16/11/2021 21:36

Shock Sad Hope your Dad's results come up with an easily fixable thing and he gets sent back home quickly LetUs. Hope your all ok as well. Scary stuff Sad

Headache went, thank goodness, and I went to the library today and got lots of books to take on my Road Trip. Also dropped stuff of at the charity shop which has been piling up in a corner of the room, so that was good. I could ebay stuff... that would involve reactivating my selling account, and the last time I sold stuff it just turned into such a hassle that I can't be arsed.

Pottering about and reading sounds like a nice day though Fancy

That's irritating Apricot - I had that at Tesco when I discovered that my clubcard was at home so I didn't get the clubcard prices. If I remember, I can take the receipts in and doing it retrospectively, Chances of that are slim though. (Sieve-for-brains)

FancyFancy · 16/11/2021 22:05

Seems to be a day of dad-drama Sad Mine fell and bumped his head today - seems ok, still in hospital as they are checking him over thoroughly. StepMum is pretty hysterical & DSis is on her way there. Hope you get some good news soon letus

LetUsPrey · 16/11/2021 22:10

Thanks wenches.

Oh blimey Fancy Sad. Your poor dad. Hope he has a quick recovery

There’s something “phew” about having dropped off stuff at a charity shop. Oooo at stack of fresh books to read Helen.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 16/11/2021 22:32

I am heading to the hayloft now - night all.

LetUsPrey · 17/11/2021 07:06

Morning wenches.

Wench-fathers sounds like something from Norse mythology. I like it Smile

Bit of a rubbish sleep - thank you foot cramp for that.

Hope your dad’s back at home soon Fancy.

Short day today so that’s good.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 17/11/2021 07:56

Moning all. Blue skies! Sunshine!
I have to get dressed and out the door for work, so FurryBlackHole has just jumped on to start kneading and purring. Hmm Though, to be fair, this is also the first time I've sat down. He's also been up a tree while I was doing the chickens/collecting windfalls, and then demanded to be helped down (much piteous mewing) - cue me standing there like the Statue of Liberty (without the torch) while he walks down may arm, across my shoulders and jumps to the ground... then shoots straight back up said tree. DaftKitten.

Hope everywench (and their fathers) has a good day.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 17/11/2021 11:30

Hope both wench-dads are feeling better today.

ApricotCrush · 17/11/2021 17:16

Afternoon. Sun here today too, everything looks so much more cheerful.

I've had one of those days of starting a job and going on to another and not really finishing anything. Confused

Oh my goodness, so sorry to hear about the wench-dads. Hope they're both feeling better today.

Shetland tonight.

@ DaftKitten

Dad is apparently being kept in again - he seems fine but the hospital wants another scan to be on the safe side and they've not had a free slot all day. DSis needs to go back to work tomorrow so I am driving up this evening, so much for a week off Sad Parents have no internet, so limited wenching is possible too Shock

How is your dad letus?

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 17/11/2021 18:55

[horror] No Internet?! Shock Oh well. Fingers crossed for him getting scanned tomorrow Fancy

I am back from work, and slobbing on the sofa.

LetUsPrey · 17/11/2021 19:05

Evening wenches.

Dad’s back home, but still needs another scan so he’s waiting for an appointment for that. It seems to have properly taken it out of him, whatever it was, though but fingers crossed he’s recovering.

Hope your dad’s alright Fancy and home soon with clear scans.

Loving the tales of DaftKitten Grin

Work was shit and I hate it, but Apricot’s reminder that it’s Shetland night has cheered me up.

WickedWenchOfTheNorth · 17/11/2021 20:09

Felt a bit meh today, november, grey, so ordered a coupe of jigsaws so that cheered me up.

LetUsPrey · 17/11/2021 21:09

Oooo new jigsaws! What are they like Wicked?

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 17/11/2021 21:26

I'm tempted to get one of these for DH for Xmas, but they're very expensive. But he likes wine and he likes jigsaws... Confused
