A Very Crepey New Year

[Cremolafoam]

Will this do ??

do these men have no idea how this looks? 20 years younger - yeah right.

Happy Birthday Rose! Have a lovely day.

I had no idea what Apple Tree Yard was, and have just Googled. Might give it a go, and see what all the fuss is about.

Off to work to deal with the post-move fall-out. I predict lots of crawling under desks and hunting for extension leads and lost boxes, so have worn something stretchy.

Happy Birthday Rose!

I didn't watch Apple Tree Yard (Call The Midwife and CBB are the limit of my high-brow TV-watching ATM!) - was it about geneticists or partners with a huge age-gap?

Not looking forward to scraping the car.

Happy Birthday Rose.

Ds was wobbly this morning so I didn't go in, then he decided he would go to school. I decided I'd take the day off. Last week was very hard and frankly I need a break....

Good plan, BD.

Good for you, BD. Monday's off are worth double other days.

Happy birthday Rose. Lovely pictures - love your hair at the moment....

The fog is blinding here today. Can't see 10 feet.

Mocks results are dribbling in. Very very surprising one A, one B and one C. Quite how that happened with no work, homework and low attendance!!

Rudy, yes, it is very odd. Almost all of my friends from when the girls were in primary school have split up. One left her husband for another woman, but is now with another man. Almost all of them left their husbands for someone else, rather than the man leaving.

Beachy, that's fab! Must have been the first-rate revision support

Happy birthday Rose.
👗🌈🎂

CBB?

BD, do something indulgent today. And/or loll in bed with a book.

Celebrity Big Brother, MI.

Just found a whole basket of all the odd socks we were missing in dd1 room. Oooooh, the satisfaction (sad housewife face)

Need a new thread, ladies.....

Happy birthday Rose. Hope you have a lovely day. Weekend looked wonderful. What a beautiful family you have.

BD, make sure you do something nice for you rather than just domestic drudge.

Not really keeping up - will try to get ahead with some chores then catch up. New thread needed soon too - any ideas?

Just rang my dad dutifully. Oh, he said, I'm off to South Africa

Happy birthday Rose! Fb pics were lovely

Well done Beachy - v gd news and cheering fr ds I hope

Enjoy yr day, bd, heed monty's advice

Great description of aty, lalsy, no need to watch it now.

Blimey mi re dd and congrats on draft no4

Blazing sunshine here in the north. Just finished massive bkfast and about to set off along the coast. Alnwick tomorrow. All vv beautiful

Tempted to suggest "Crepey pussies say no"

Happy Birthday Rose - agree you have a lovely family.

I quite enjoyed ATY but I did think it was supposed to be a political thriller and as there are 14 episodes I am assuming that this aspect will develop. I also find Ben Chaplin rather attractive.

I could not be with a guy 30 years older, I do have a friend with a husband 25 years older and they are very happily married but all the references from youth are different - he likes the Rolling Stones, she the Human League etc. I find Melania and Trump look very mismatched.

Still below freezing here. Have been very cultured this weekend and went to an art exhibition at the Louis Vitton Centre - beautiful Monets, Gauguins and Matisses everywhere. I'd love a Matisse, just a small one in my living room.

MI - sorry you're feeling low - but it's good that DF has taken himself off to South Africa rather than sitting being depressed.

Crem - hope you're feeing a little better today.

Oooh, that would be good, Hatty. I found the huffing and puffing in cupboards and alleys a bit dull and BC creepy.

Beachy, that's good, hope it helps give a bit of reassurance or help planning what's next.

Only four (4, iv) episodes and having read the book no it's not a political thriller....pity, that!

Have started new thread....
