That sounds like a positive day LetUs - cooperative child, haircut, and long weekend - whoop!

It's cloudy here and quite cool. It feels like it might consider drizzling. I have BoringOfficeJob and must remember to pick DS up from the school trip. Still, he has a mobile, and I'm sure he'll let me know if I'm late. I could really do with going back to bed and sleeping, rather than working (or doing anything involving thought).

Still. Friday - have a good day all.

ApricotCrush · 20/05/2022 17:01

Afternoon. Cloudy and cool here too.

Yay for Friday, although all days are the same for me. Hmm

Misty has found the top of her scratch post. She’s been asleep there all day.

TFIF. Celebrating my new place with some pink fizz 🍷

Misty is so cute 😍

LetUsPrey · 20/05/2022 20:45

Evening wenches.

Weather actually had the decency to rain whilst I was in work and on the way home, rather than when I get home.

Squeeeee at Misty! Even if she is sideways.

<sends CloneHelen to collect MiniHelen although this has possibly already happened>

Skål Wicked! Although no Winefor me as I’m collecting DH later from an evening out.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 20/05/2022 21:29

Evening all. <clinks glass with Wicked>

Awww at Misty. I find mobile pictures do tend to be randomly re-orientated on computers - it will be fine on one piece of software and then rotated on another. Odd. CuteKitten is currently obsessed by a box on it's side with the flap turning it into a cave :D

We had rain too - another 3mm through the day, and DH is out. We are twins LetUs Grin I've been watching 'Life after Life' - episode 1 is done and DS has announced that I'm to watch the rest with him, because he was interested. Hurrah! (Always nice to find something that we can watch together.)

Hope that's Fancy has had a good day and not needed the flamethrower on AnnoyingClient.

FancyFancy · 20/05/2022 23:40

<clicks glass with pink fizz twin ww>
Flamethrower not required for clients today, in fact one was was quite pleasant and efficient today 😊Am finding junior colleagues to be lacking in attentions to detail however <harrumphs>

Am watching thiiiiiighs before bed.

😍for sideways Misty

LetUsPrey · 21/05/2022 09:26

Morning wenches.

<high fives Helen> Am training DS2 who last night said “we’ll watch another Poirot”.

Occasional nice client and slightly lacking junior colleagues Fancy - I’m becoming more convinced we work in the same place.

Been out to Tesco already and bought The Killers t shirts for me and BestFriend. Got the last one of each size we wanted.

Plan today is washing, housework, homework, haircut, visiting BigSis as it’s her birthday.

FancyFancy · 21/05/2022 11:43

Morning - oh the irony 😳bemoaning a lack of attentions to detail 😂

ApricotCrush · 21/05/2022 16:53

Afternoon. Nice day here. I’ve done loads of washing and ironing and generally pottered about. DH is at DS’s again. Hmm

Happy birthday to LetUsBigSis.

Have a good evening all. Wine

<raises a glass with wenches> Wine

Lots of washing done so lots of ironing tomorrow. Saw BigSis which was lovely and then went to see parents which was also lovely. Haircut is swishy. Finished knitting but have made a bit of a dog’s breakfast of sewing in the sleeves and then knitting on the neckband. I’m leaving it for a bit before I attempt to sew up the seams and press it.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 21/05/2022 22:39

Evening all. Spent all afternoon in the garden again, and dead-heading sodding petunias. Though it's a bit cooler today (phew!)

<arf> at attentions to details - it's hard to concentrate when you're distracted by all those thiiiighs Fancy Grin <checks own posts for typos>

LetUsPrey · 22/05/2022 08:33

Morning wenches.

<restocks tav’s gardening shed>

Today will be ironing and homework mostly.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 22/05/2022 08:43

Morning all. This morning I have done watering, had a cuddle with KillerKitty, then been used as a teething ring. I have also extracted a dead mole from under the piano. It's either very recent, not not so recent, but there was no rigor mortis. (CSI wenches) Further investigation will not be possible because I lobbed it over the hedge (into a field - not someone else's garden Grin )

Later today will involve decorating. (Yes, I know, we still haven't completely finished). Also, washing.

FancyFancy · 22/05/2022 11:35

Morning, a day of gardening I think. Can no longer put off tidying up one of the beds now that the plants there have stopped flowering.

LetUsPrey · 22/05/2022 16:42

Afternoon wenches.

Poor mole. Perhaps it was mole’s final wish to be shot into space so at least you’ve helped with that Helen. Your day sounds rather tiring.

Hope the weather has assisted with the gardening Fancy.

I’ve ironed and helped with homework. Finished my knitting. I’m glad it’s finished. Not sure what I’ll do next.

Football on here on both tvs. I might go for a bath but I’m not sure I can be bothered.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 22/05/2022 17:16

Afternoon. We also have football on the TV here. <yawn> Dh has also been chattering to me about SportingEquipment Hmm <insert polite smile and internal bafflement>

Meanwhile, in the garden, more veg has been planted out; inside, decorating part 1 has been done.

ApricotCrush · 22/05/2022 18:16

Afternoon. We've been watching football too with me also knitting which is a bit precarious. Well done for finishing yours LetUs.

I'm impressed with all the gardening, my efforts don't stretch beyond a bit of pruning and sweeping up.

Sad for mole.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 22/05/2022 22:45

Urgh. Homework hell... and of course it would be a subject I don't have a chance of being able to help with. FML...

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 23/05/2022 07:51

DS's bus is never on time... so you can guess the rest. Off to the the school run 🙄

Cloudy and cool here today.

LetUsPrey · 23/05/2022 08:52

Morning wenches.

You have my full sympathy re the homework Helen and chivvying people to get the bus. That used to be DS1 with the bus for college.

Your gardening outstrips mine Apricot Grin

Day off today. Got up to beautiful sunshine so I was thinking errands this morning, get a wash out, perhaps sit out with a jigsaw. Dark clouds now.

ApricotCrush · 23/05/2022 16:11

Afternoon. Started off sunny here too but it started raining at school pick-up time. Hmm

Misty puked up what she’d just eaten this morning. No hairball or anything, it came out as it went in. Confused. I’m assuming she just ate it too fast. She was fine after, playing pawball we could have done with her on the pitch yesterday. Will keep on eye on her.

New series of Silent Witness starts tonight. I do like Jack.

SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp · 23/05/2022 18:15

Evening. It's been damp/rainy most of the day here. I haven't been out to see what the score is on the rain gauge.

I have been to physio and been pummelled and also have a headache. Bleurgh....
<shuts laptop screen>

LetUsPrey · 23/05/2022 18:54

Evening wenches.

Have also been pummelled on a massage table <nae> and then facialled. It was excellent and would only have been improved by my head not being full of hayfever.

Oh Misty, don’t guzzle. Awwww at pawball!

Hope the head feels better soon Helen.

LetUsPrey · 24/05/2022 07:29

Morning wenches.

Grey and dull here, and just started to rain.

How’s the head Helen?

Suppose I’d better get a move on. <doesn’t>
