Swagger Inn 171. Spring is just around the corner, but the HBFs still need their overcoats to keep us warm.

More domestic shenanigans, trials and tribulations...

Ouch ww, hope the cream works.

Mostly work here, up to my eyeballs in it again - the spreadsheets were pretty good , the guy who wrote them seems to be quite an organised and logical chap. Did spot one thing that I'm not sure about, but tbh given the complexity of the accounting work involved if it's only one thing then that would be amazing. There's no way if I'd done it there'd only be one unclear thing

Morning all. This post is brought to you from SaturdayMorningSportingActivity where it is cloudy and a bit chilly and I have retreated indoors. I was going to do some work while I was here, but I forgot the memory stick, which is annoying.

Hurrah for organised spreadsheets Fancy I've thought of a solution to one which has been causing headaches at work, but haven't tried it out yet to see if it works. Probably not as complex as yours though!

Morning wenches.

Even a simple spreadsheet is a mystery to me so I am super impressed by Wench abilities.

Have been to town and bought birthday cards, been to bookshop and donated some books for their second hand selection bought some more. About to put the washing out.

Evening. Nice again this afternoon.

The only spreadsheets I have are one for the monthly outgoings and one for eBay sales. Anything more complicated would be beyond me.

Any better today WW?

Evening wenches.

Lovely day here too so I’ve done lots of washing and sat outside for a bit with a book. This was obviously a stupid thing to do and I look and feel rubbish because pollen.

DH has got the football on. That’s fine. What’s not fine is the constant chatting away to me about it.

Evening all. Dr Strange was ok, then helped DF with setting up stuff for village events, and then, because DS has got a massively complicated 2nd hand lego set, I helped sort pieces. Now my neck is a bit uncomfortable. I rather fancy<nto> a bath, but I also fancy<still nto> going straight to bed. As it is, I sitting on the sofa with laptop and University Challenge. I'm doing badly at IC.

Weather was nice in the sun, but less pleasant in the shade.

Morning wenches.

I was in bed before 10 last night. Can’t say I’m feeling less tired today. Oh well.

Sunshine has gone and it’s cloudy and cold.

I wish DS2 had been into Lego more. Didn’t stop the Lego being bought but he was never as keen as me DS1.

Today will be ironing and baking, but need to go out for a couple of ingredients.

Morning all. I have horsed, and it's rained and will probably rain again, judging by what the clouds look like. DS is back on the xbox - I think the lego may be an evening thing now.

and for LetUs (though I've no idea who's playing)

Hope everywench has a good day and doesn't get rained on!

Why is it Sunday already?

It's better Apes, still stings a bit but the blood has stopped dripping so that's positive.

Worked a little bit today. E-mailed moving companies for quotes. Now a late lunch and then I have to clean the bathroom sink ......

Well looks like I didn't press 'post' yesterday <eyerolls> worked most of yesterday, paid at least so that was good.

Have been pottering in the garden today which has been most pleasant, weeding and training some of the climbers

Evening. Miserable sort of day. I cleaned some windows this morning. They look terrible when the sun's on them.

This afternoon DS brought the DGC round together with some more stuff for me to put on eBay.

Pleased you're getting better WW.

Morning wenches.

Fingers crossed for a quick improvement Wicked.

Have been watching Chelsea Flower Show highlights. Thought of Fancy and her lovely garden <nae>.

Got rained on this morning too and then it’s been sunny/cloudy/rainy on and off all day.

<admires Apricot’s windows:

I’ve ironed, baked and knitted. Need to organise DS2’s books with him for revision tomorrow and the rest of the week.

Just noticed I appear to have time travelled for part of my latest post

DS2 seems to be enjoying tv detective programmes. We’ve done a few different shows and I’ve started him on Poirot. And then yesterday he caught the end of a Murder, She Wrote I was watching, so we’re also watching that

Evening all. DS has been a bit of an ungrateful shit, so words have been had. Other than that - gardening. And I was going to have a bath, but have left it a bit late.

Glad to hear you're a bit better Wicked; <arf> at time-travelling LetUs <borrows apricot to clean our windows too>; <cbf> at Fancy's work requiring weekends, even if it is paid.

Morning wenches.

Absolutely piddling it down here.

I can sympathise with you Helen re the having words.

DS2 off this week and amazingly no sign of him yet.

Morning all. Cloudy here, but not raining (yet)

Last night I had a Musketeers dream it was an episode where they didn't have anything to do, so they were sitting round building card pyramids and jenga towers. That was it. I can't think why there wasn't an episode like that in the series, the writers definitely missed a trick.

DS has been extracted from bed here, to go and do a SportingThing. DH and I both have the week off from BoringOfficeJobs, but I don't have the week off from freelancing and I had a deadline for this weekend. Which means Wednesday really, since bank holiday and all. Plus I helping with a four-day event which also involves a lot of set-up prep. Ho hum hey! Stress and tiredness ahoy - I shall be needing more time off, just to recover from this week.

Afternoon. We've had DGS here for the day, DH has been teaching him sudoku.

He's also been driving me mad (DH not DGS) trying to set up his new phone, the old one having died after the swim in the lake. All his passwords were on his old phone and he's trying to recover them plus photos and other stuff from the Cloud, but to do that he needs his Apple password, which is on his old phone. Argh! He's gone back to the shop he bought the new phone from.

Brilliant dream Helen, you should have been a script writer for S3.

Booked a moving company today, for the 30th of June, can’t wait 😀👍

😂 at your dream Helen

Exciting about the moving company ww I bet you will be so relieved when you finally move in.

Sympathies to MrA on the trauma of setting up a new phone and to you apricot for experiencing him doing it.

Yay for DS2 enjoying those programmes letus, will you be watching And Then There Were None with him? 😁

Another cracking dream there helen, but of course they couldn't have written that into the series because all the cards would've been up Porthos's sleeve and Athos is no good at Jenga because of the DTs

Evening wenches.

Excellent Musketeer and cards analysis there Fancy.

That’s exciting news Wicked! You’ll be moving before you know it.

Don’t be overdoing it Helen <stern>. Don’t want you being ill and/or all headachey. <is even more stern>

And Then There We’re None would be a natural step in DS2’s television detective and mystery education. Obviously

Lot of my things are still in boxes from the last move since this would be only temporary Can’t wait to unpack them 😀 Nothing has happened with the cottage in two months, I’m so over this place.

Doooooooooooom! MrA has my sympathies on trying to set up a new phone, it's a complete pain in the arse.
Exciting stuff Wicked - booking a removals company makes it that much closer
Too late on the headache front LetUs - we're watching Bladerunner, but I'll be taking my sore head away for a long hot bath shortly.
Fancy - that's very true - but dreams and logic and musketeer plots are three things that have no business overlapping
I've been working and started setting stuff up for the event. I'm pooped.

Morning wenches.

I’m excited for you Wicked, although having seen my sister prepare for a move and then move out of her house, I don’t envy you!

Here’s hoping the long bath helped the headache Helen.

It’s actually not raining this morning. DS2 is awake but not up. I’m hoping his revision goes better than it did yesterday when I got a tearful phone call at about 10.30 saying he couldn’t do it I think we’ve sorted it though so fingers crossed for today.

Morning all. Still have a headache and you can't get dispersible asprin for love nor money at the moment Fingers crossed they'll be back in stock soon. Not that the ones I have seem to be making much difference just now. FMHeadache and all that. I may go back to bed for a bit.
