Crepe Expectations

[Cremolafoam]

Will this do?

Addle?

Where did MaybeBentley go?

I wondered about maybebentley - did we scare her off? I thought we were friendly ....

I'm coming...

Yes, Addle!
And Dukes (can't remember her name-change)

Oh mrs s that's great dd is 'getting involved"
We have the opposite problem according to dd's English teacher today. Dd has great difficulty saying no to activities and really needs to rein it in this year. I am deleting emails that I should be passing in to her about drama and music opportunities ( bad Cremola)
She has , her teacher claims ' spread herself a little thin'
Oh dear. I am trying to persuade her now to drop her 4th A level subject if she plans to resit her English AS level.( " Not her best work" apparently)
This has gone down likes ton of bricks. Major huff . Door slamming.
Pms fury. Weeping .
She really hasn't time to do 4. And IMHO does not need to.
In response to your kind inquiry about dh Alto the answer is
About as helpful as a chocolate teapot. He is doing a bit better MH wise but not unlike you Stropps , pretty much everything has been dumped at my door .
Roll on 20th Sept

How can the house be so messy and untidy when there is virtually nothing in it?

The kitten is clearly distressed as she has pissed lavishly all over the hall rug (which belongs to the landlord). DH says if she carries on doing that on our carpet in London, she will be off to Battersea.

Our house is a tip.

But but but I have a haul of more skincare fabulousness from beauty journalist friend so am going to go and trial the Vitamin C Cleansing Oil (DP, obviously, looked dubiously at it) and possibly the array of serums promising Radiance and Yoof. Ho yes. You won't know me on the 20th, I'll be aglow.

Oh bad kitty mrs s.
I have now also alienated our cats by force feeding them both the anti-flea tablet. Cue enraged screeching .

So that's pretty much a full house of pissed off bastards.

Going to have a bath: where other people are not

You'd better wear a name badge MI, for identification purposes.

Me me me! I'm coming on the 20th!

Sorry to hear tales of crepey woe. The only answer is cocktails.

This house is like a morgue without the DDs. DH is away tomorrow as well, so it's just DS and I. We will be having steak for tea.

My house is a tip as the boiler man is still doing stuff (if its this bad with the boiler I am not sure I can stand having the bathroom done..)

Sorry Cremo hear of all then woe.

Taking ds to in-laws today for the rest of the hols.

Oh CV, how did we forget you?! So
Stropps
Cremo
MrsS
MI
BTM
Ruby
QQ
BD
Herbs
Beachy
CV
And???? I'm getting excited!

CV, house like a morgue? Sounds bliss!

Poor DS and DH had a time of it last night - waited an hour and a half for a train and then had to run to another station - I finally picked them up at 10.30 What if something similar happens when DS is doing it on his own???

Oh, and I think I have cystitis

¿ donde esta Wilbur?

Phew. Singing went OK. But it gets you thinking about life, a funeral, innit.

And that was post 666

Spooky
Well done MI .

Glad it went well MI. I have handed a very excited ds over to his nana and am now off to see a friend for dinner... Meanwhile chez Blackduck boiler man thinks he'll finish tomorrow - I hope so!

Well done MI - I don't think I could even speak in public let along sing (not that anybody would ever ask me to sing).

BD - your boiler man saga has reminded me to phone for our annual maintenance check - which I forgot last year.

Have to get off now as DS is reading over my shoulder.

I can't sneak in a header of 'country matters' (Hamlet RUDE JOKE) into a newsletter, can I? DP has already nixed 'Carry on Clamping' for another...

BD, your boiler sounds like a marathon!

Having a day of exercise today - gym (and then coffee) with a friend, bike ride with DS and DH (and late lunch at City Hall - saw Boris again) and will be walking this evening And it's still sunny

DD2 "I wish I didn't have periods - I wish I were a man ... mind you if I were a man I'd be ugly". I've sent her off with some paracetamol.

BTM what a glam life you have - although I did meet friend for lunch in Paris today - no Boris spottings though or even French équivalents.

Talking of glam, and cats, I just responded to Loud Feline Bellows from outside. The wretched beast has left a disembowelled rat on the front pavement. And he looks really proud.

I sat next to Boris at a wedding once.
He failed to amuse me . I thought he was very oafish - he had not long hone down from Oxford and I gave him a very stand offish northern Irish meh face for the 4 hours of the wedding breakfast.

He was a twerp at Oxford. Sat around in the library in his I Heart Maggie badge.

I sat around in my own badges...
